To win the paintball arms race, MTSI engineers came up with a classic example of great design — the Odyssey HALO paintball loader.
Late one night in 1977, I discovered one of the world’s first computer viruses.
The HP-35 calculator was the first handheld, battery-powered scientific calculator. I was awestruck and had no idea that I would soon work on them at an intimate level at the very company that designed and made the HP-35 ICs.
Air forces need to maximize their training readiness. MTSI designed an all-digital, fly-by-wire gauge for the BAE Hawk’s tailplane, enhancing precision and responsiveness.
Medi+Beep a start-up company wanted to produce a electronic medication reminder that could remind you when to take your medicine and which medicine to take — and make a beep.
A client needed a watertight liquid pump controller that is set by a cellphone using Bluetooth. MTSI designed a dual CPU circuit with a Bluetooth chip and a controller using a small 8-bit microprocessor.
This magnetic two-way medical scanner controls an embedded implant in healing bones. The client wanted the device to sound like a ‘Star Trek’ scanner.
MTSI has worked on Coke machines, Pepsi machines and others for major vending machine companies. This refrigerator controller for Schooner’s Bay was designed to control the temperature of the drink to within 0.2 degrees C of 32 degrees F (0 C).
This logic board automatic tester was designed to test the computerized coin changer modules used in vending machines.
Reverse engineering is one of MTSI’s specialties. One of our early projects involved the SLC 96 developed to bring digital capability to local loop networks.
The petroleum industry relies on downhole tools to gather critical data, optimize drilling and production operations, and ensure the overall efficiency and longevity of oil wells. MTSI developed one such tool to assist clients in making informed decisions about their production strategies.
This meter module worked by measuring the rotational velocity of the electric meter’s eddy current disk using a miniature laser beam source and optical detector.
A client approached MTSI with an idea that was ahead of its time — a patented, programmable doorbell including a control for connection in series with an existing push button in a residential circuit.
A large manufacturer of surgical gloves expanded its production. They had to meet exact standards. MTSI met the challenge.
To operate safe and reliable telecom system, the company came to MTSI to design the equipment to track down the source.
Epic Data International approached MTSI to help design a workstation solution that delivers advanced user identity authentication, and automated time and materials tracking for knowledge and manufacturing workers.
Epic Data International reached out to MTSI to develop a custom terminal for Lockheed Martin. The defense giant needed a low-cost, simple way to integrate sophisticated and automated identification, project tracking and secure-access capabilities in a highly sensitive environment.
Before Dell, Compaq was the world’s top personal computer maker, and came to MTSI to help develop four new stations in their personal computer manufacturing and reliability analysis laboratories.
A consortium had defined a new Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus computer market. These computers were to be used for high-speed file servers and work stations, and required new disk, tape, and printer controllers.
For decades, law enforcement have supervised parolees with electronic tracking devices embedded in ankle bracelets. MTSI was one of the early designers of the technology.
A client developing a new-generation automotive burglar alarm for the Ford Taurus was behind schedule. MTSI leveraged its experience in precision and swiftness to bring the project on time and to completion.
The MTSI manufacturing department built the electronic portion of the Krug Life Sciences platform for use on the International Space Station.
Every bowling lane needs to know when a player has bowled a strike or sunk the ball into the gutter. The task falls to electronic pin fall detectors. MTSI developed a system to check accuracy and repeatability.
Long ago, Casablanca Fan Company — an industry leader in luxury ceiling fans — developed an innovative idea to control a ceiling fan and a lamp. With technical support from MTSI, production rapidly expanded.
