Projects
Elliott Tech has completed over 700 projects in various markets. ETI's diversity allows for product developments in a multitude of industries. ETI works closely with our clients to fully understand the product and the market in which the product will be sold and maintained. As a result of the close working relationship with our clients, we are able to provide not only quality products but marketable products.
SOS Alert System
The SOS Alert System is built on a secure, stand-alone, two-way private mesh network that is easily maintained and is specifically designed to avoid dependence on the unreliable Internet or cell towers. The system is comprised of a Central Monitoring Station, or “repeaters”, to ensure geographic coverage and a unique Personal Alert Sentry (“PAS”) device for every user.
F-18 Super Hornet
ETI performed the Software Quality Assurance (SQA) function for the Navy’s F18E/F SuperHornet Dry Bay Fire Detection and Alarm Subsystem (DBFDAS). The DBFDAS detects, alarms, and extinguishes fires (enemy ground fire) in the bottom of the F18 fuselage. Detection, location, and extinguishing take place before the enemy ground fire can cause major damage to the plane.
SQA participated in all software design reviews, preliminary testing, and formal verification testing. SQA audited and signed-off all software documentation including: Software design and test plans, Requirements Spec, Design Doc, detailed Test Description, detailed Test Report, and Version Description Doc.
F-22 Advanced Fighter
ETI assisted in the hardware design of the fire detection and protection system on this aircraft. This design included FPGA's as well as source control schematics and drawings.
Tactical Support Equipment
Elliott Tech assisted in the design of several products used by the military. These products are specialty systems used in communications, reconnaissance/surveillance, and training needs.
Four Channel Analog Module
The Four channel Analog Module is a 4 channel analog plug-in module. This board is one of the companion boards that plugs into the DPM. It contains 4 isolated analog channels, 2 outputs and 2 inputs. It is designed primarily for testing of voice band telecommunications signals up to 200 kHz. The analog output channels contain a 12-bit A/D converter and the analog input channels contain a 16-bit A/D converter. All channels encompass filtering, attenuation stages, and gain stages. Each isolated analog channel communicates with the common section via a high-speed optically coupled serial link
Canada-Air CRJ-700 Regional Jet
ETI designed, tested, and documented the embedded software for the Fire Detection and Extinguishing System (FIDEEX).
The FIDEEX is designed to detect and report fire events in each of the two engines and the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). The FIDEEX detects and reports smoke events in the cargo bays. In addition, the system monitors and, through pilot interaction, controls extinguishing bottles for fire suppression in the engines, the APU, and the cargo bays.
The documentation includes Software design and test plans, Requirements Spec, Design Doc, detailed Test Description, detailed Test Report, and Version Description Doc.
C17 Cargo Plane
This project involved the design of an overheat detection system for the military’s C-17 Cargo Aircraft. This system included the hardware design of the detector circuits for capacitance sensing elements. The circuitry allows for “spot” detection as well as compartmental detection. The system monitors for overheats, provides alarms, performs continuous self-test/fault analysis, and communicates, over the 1553 bus, with the aircraft computer system.
Active Vibration Control System (AVC)
Elliott Tech assisted in the software and quality assurance on a AVC system. These systems are being used to minimize vibration and reduce weight on helicopter. This project was in compliance with Do-178B and D0-254.Time & Attendance System
Elliott Tech designed this time and attendance system consisting of the electronics, embedded software as well as the PC interface software. This system is a complete time and attendance system featuring a sleek and functional proximity badge terminal.
Absentee Ballot Entry Device
The Absentee Ballot Entry Device project required development of a hand-held embedded controller for entry of absentee ballots into an Electronic 1242 voting machine. The device includes non-volatile EEPROM-based data storage, an EL backlit LCD display, RS-232 communication, and a custom keypad. A standard 9-volt battery providing 0.5 amp-Hrs powers the device. Also, a Built-In-Test (BIT) capability for verification of the major functional circuits is incorporated. This test capability is used for the manufacturing test of the PC Board.
Dye Analytical Instrument
Elliott Tech designed the electronics for this accurate, reliable, and easy to use analytical instrument that monitors dye exhausting, pH, conductivity, and temperature in real-time.
Smart Cap Project
The Smart Cap Project is a device that mounts on the bill of a baseball cap and provides the user with the time of day, elapsed time, outside temperature, and pulse rate. This information is communicated via a miniature LCD display that is visible to the user through a magnifying lens.
The device has provisions for setting of the real-time clock, as well as resetting, starting, and stopping the elapsed-time clock. Temperature measurements are by a temperature sensor contained within the unit. Pulse rate measurements are via an external sensor. This sensor is hard-wired into the main unit.
Electronic Lock
Elliott Tech designed an electronic lock providing a keyless method for security. These locks are used throughout the country on lockers in country clubs and athletic clubs
Conduvection System Project
Elliott Tech designed the control software for a new tray retherm system in the Healthcare market. This new system includes a state-of-the-art embedded controller, a 20-tray meal delivery cart, and a stand-alone controller/chiller. The tray system is a high-tech system which employs new heating methods not previously used in the marketplace. The system outperforms current systems on the market, providing high quality product to the customer. A project team consisting of the Customer and key ETI personnel were employed for this project's success.
Programmable Industrial System Monitor
The Programmable Industrial System Monitor provides information regarding Fire Pump controls in buildings such as hi-rise hotels. This device has an alphanumeric display, EEPROM, 110VAC inputs/outputs, serial printer, and RS-485 communications to PC and to external devices. The PIC 17C44 processor was used for this design. The PC program provides the necessary programming of the device such as messages and limits as well as uploads data from the device.
