Achievements

Designed the exterior packaging for Teledyne Optech’s Wave Mapper. The enclosure meets NEMA4/IP66, and it is purged to the ATEX Exp standard. 1

Howard Gibson CET 2020/06/25

Completed most of the mechanical design for Teledyne Optech’s new Titan multi-spectral LiDAR sensor including the structural design, and working out the routing of the transmitter optics, using SolidWorks. This is the device they are using to scan Mayan ruins in Guatemala.

Designed all sorts of rack mounted electronics, mostly sheet metal, mostly rugged airworthy, all requiring EMI/RFI protection.

Succeeded in the design of a two-axis scanner driven by only one motor, and with all the electronics in the base.

Primary mechanical designer for several bathymeter sensors, with multiple optical channels, all sorts of actuators, and electronics housings, using SolidWorks, and drafting boards.

Set up SolidWorks with le templates and standard parts les { participated in the committee that selected the PDM system

Primary Mechanical designer of a laser chiller, using AutoCAD. Reviewed the thermal analysis, and estimated the head loss of the system. Simpli ed assembly by writing assembly instructions concurrent with the assembly drawing. This proved to be an excellent and successful DFMA process.

Completed the vibration analysis and designed the platforms for the Ozone DIAL LiDAR at CRESS (York University)

Set up a document management system on the UNIX server in order to secure les read-only, enter and manage change requests, and track changes to the documents. All of this was done using command line shell scripts.

Installed, con gured and administered AutoCAD on UNIX, set up document templates and con gured a central working directory on the network. Work History
