Redesign of a machine front-end to eliminate an observed ESD susceptibility, thus dramatically improving the EMC of the operator interface: Armed the signal/power references and relocated the peripheral connections on a control PCB to harden tens of thousands of production units against EMI.
Circuit design for components of the Continuous Train Control (German: LZB) center — provided savvy manpower by analog / digital / mixed-signal redesign of a huge legacy control rack, dramatically cutting costs, power loss and space by deploying current miniature parts as SMDs and CPLDs.
Minimized S/T-bus guard for the ISDN basic-rate interface — a tiny and cheap instrument that allows ISDN landline-telephone subscribers for watching suspicious usage of their phone; developed cradle-to grave, manufactured, marketed and shipped in numbers online.
Saving of process data, archived on diskettes, from DEC PDP-11/LSI-11 systems for the purpose of treating them on current PCs — rescued the media’s owners from losing their legacy data forever, thus saving them tremendous costs for reproducing the files either way.

Patch of the not year-2000 (Y2k) compliant RT-11 operating system V5.5 for Y2k compliance — allowed further usage of a classic operating system as of year 2000 by users of affected process computers worldwide, thus saving them 90% of a new operating-system’s costs.
Field test with contact-less smart cards for the administration and access supervision in a company- internal car-sharing system — equipped a car fleet with automotive-compliant readers, cards and firmware to ease administration and cut the car usage costs.
Support partnership for the market introduction of contact-less smart cards with magnetic twin antenna
— did all kinds of development on cards, readers, HW, SW; consulting, marketing, documentation, demonstration, invention, distribution to bring a remarkably progressive principle of a smart card to the market’s attention.
Demonstration system for the administration of contact-less smart cards with RSA encryption — finalized a pre-developed HW/SW device by adapting the hardware to common standards, fixing bugs in the purchased GUI library and ergonomically perfecting the C code plus making RSA keys.
Smart protocol printer with explosion proof input for the maximum-permissible-load indication in natural-gas supply contracts — provided the cradle-to-grave making of an item that went through the production line in large numbers for many years.
Design, development and engineering sample of an analog line camera with exposure automaton, replaceable local intelligence and RS232C interface — enabled a physicist to verify a theory of the opto- mechanical realm and to experiment with various parameters.
Concept, development and team leadership up to production stage of a laboratory measuring instrument for the precision length measurement with dynamic focusing of a laser beam — rescued the client from a dramatic shortage of developing workforce.
Concept, development and prototype of a square-wave modulated signaling whistle for the special site conditions in the automotive production field — allowed the manufacturer to quickly expand his portfolio of subcontracting with a prominent car maker. WORK HISTORY
