EDA and Product Design Ideas

delabs — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 08:31:00 +0000

Some Ideas of mine that were put in delabs Tweeter, related to EDA and Product Design

Product Design Optimization

Make Practical (it works), Affordable, Usable (ergonomics), Safe, Reliable (robust), Durable/Consistent & Maintainable (Servicing) Products.

Dust and Contamination in Connectors

Once i opened a RF Millivolt Meter of Marconi Instruments. It did not have a spec of dust inside, not [...]

PC User Interface and Wireless Power

Tech Metrics – Technology of Engineering Measurements

Multiplexed Presettable Timer with ICM7217

delabs — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 02:36:00 +0000

This was a attempt to make a Sequential Timer with ICM7217 of Intersil, even though it worked well, it was not developed beyond the prototype stage or first iteration. Only when a product is made in some numbers, the documentation and designs become clear, streamlined and seasoned.

The PCB and Circuit are not complete. It may [...]

If you have made an electronic product with a new circuit or code and need to protect it, then these are some Methods. If your Intellectual Property is an Idea, A Hardware Innovation or Software Application; It may need some protection other than patents. Sometimes patents are used for general applications and generic designs. Patent [...]

Design Notes – Product Development – 07

delabs — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 23:35:00 +0000

Product Design includes Schematic and Firmware Design. The Mechanical Engineering that goes into making the enclosure and internal construction is also important. The Electromechanical design which is made of electrical circuit, pcb, panel-parts and cable management is sometimes so involved that it is developed with the help of vendors or suppliers.

Product design engineering also needs [...]
