Professional: 1. Optimize and adjust design criteria through all stages of a project invented new and Patentable products. 2. Control

a. Work with all levels of a company on controlling the Bill of Materials, including purchasing, engineering, manufacturing, outside vendors, document control, etc. b. Identify which product design are best suited for the revenue. c. Match the strategic business to the business plan for PC manufacturing in Africa.

3. Control cost a. Select the best components and manufacturers for the lowest price. b. Negotiate lowest price with manufacturers

4. I have been an advocate many times for companies dealing with contract manufacturers and design houses.

Background: Industrial veteran and inventor covering the last eight years. Alpha products - Omega Products

Entrepreneur Designs and Patented Inventions: Direct hands-on experience in Silicon Valley start-ups. Work in many different manufacturing and engineering development environments. I have extensive work as a Design Consultant.

Advocate for Fortune 500 companies to make sure their design house is not adding unnecessary costs to there design. If you don’t bring down the cost on the front end, will you have to scramble to cut costs later!

The Thin Film Polyimide memory array design is solid state, with no mechanical or moving parts involved. It uses a passively addressed, cross-point matrix. An ultra-thin layer of the polyimide is sandwiched between two sets of electrodes. A typical Memory array may consist of several thousand such electrically conducting lines and hence millions of electrode crossings. Memory cells are defined by the physical overlap of the crossed electrodes and selected by applying voltage. Each electrode crossing represents one bit of information in a true 4f² cell structure, the smallest possible physical memory cell. The effective cell footprint is further reduced if additional memory layers are applied. In the latter case, each new layer adds the same capacity as the first one.
