Organization Chart

Grass Valley Infinity Digital Media Recorder

The Infinity Digital Media Recorder is Grass Valley’s first field-based media recorder. The back panel gives a glimpse into the density of electronics and challenge of this product design.

Features:• Complex Plastic Surfacing• High Density Electronics• Thermal Management• RFI/EMI shielding• Meets drop and vibration specs

Project scope: Complete production-ready, mechanical design starting from client’s ID.

Product Development

Product DevelopmentRegulatory compliance and quality were kept paramount as we worked closely with the tool fabricator, injection molder, and manufacturer to optimizecost throughout the entire supply chain.

Features• Disposable• Low manufacturing cost• Sterilized after Packaging• Meets FDA regulations• Snaps together easily for one-time assembly

Project ScopeComplete production-ready, mechanical design starting from client’s ID.

Internal Defibrillator Paddle Design

Product Development

This ski race training device endures punishing conditions--travel at up to 70 mph, subzerotemperatures, 11 g’ shock impacts, all while delivering real-time feedback at millimeter precise accuracy.

Features: • Breakaway safety binding• Computer optics in an airtight hermetically sealed

environment • Patent-pending suspension that keeps computer in

constant contact with snow

Project Scope: • Prototype-to-commercialization, providing technical

expertise for the product, test tools, and manufacturing fixtures.

Ski Race Computer

Like the rugged handheld they accessorize, these caps meet military specs for drop, vibration, immersion and extreme temperatures.

Features:• Transparent window material provides visibility

as well as durability.• Applied core styling of the ID keeps new

models in sync with the product family.

Project scope: Complete mechanical design for three product models. Taking ownership of the accessory design allowed the client to focus on the core product.

Product Development

AchievementQuickly expanded the client’s product line with a highlyleveraged design.

SummaryWe presented Philips Medical with the idea of repackaging an existing fielddesign to serve a new in-hospital market segment. We leveraged the electronics and lower case of the field unit, and added all the necessary in-hospital functionality to the upper case. This approach helped get this product to market in record time.
