6.  | 
Redesign of Sea Mammal datalogger Tag | 
Designed in 2005 | 
| 
7. | 
Bluetooth Integration for over-the-air

This was done to get rid of the connector for
  water-proofing.2007 | 
|

  axis and storing it in an SD card. Used PIC18F8722. 2008/2009 | 
| 
11. | 
SRDL Mini tag | 
Miniaturised the PCB of the SRDL tag circuit to
  half its normal size for customers’ requirements.2007 | 
|

  and Lithium batteries to work over much longer periods than normal products.
  2009/2010 | 
| 
14. | 
Bluetooth Tag to Tag communication project | 
I enabled Bluetooth communication between and
  RFID data logger and a GSM Telemetry device. The RFID reader was on seal back
  and counter number of fish eaten by seal and then transmitted this information
  to GSM tag to be sent back to base as there was no other way at that time to
  get this information back. 2010/2011 | 
| 
15.  | 
Argos Satellite transmitter | 
I was electronics engineer for the team
  designing a miniature (postage stamp size) Argos satellite transmitter at 416
  Mhz and 0.5Watts using RF synthesizer, PIC 18f45J50 and RFMD power amplifier.
  2010/2011 | 
| 
16. | 
Electronics to support Iridium Satellite
  communication using satellite modem | 
I designed some of the power supply circuitry
  to enable the sea mammal tags to communicate over Irridim Satellite modem
  2010 | 
| 
17 | 
TS-TAG sub-miniature GPS data logger | 
First product developed at E-Shepherd. At under
  1.1 grams it was the worlds lightest GPS logger in 2009. Pictures at www.e-shepherd.co.uk  2009 | 
| 
18 | 
TM-TAG miniature GPS data logger | 
Slightly bigger than the TS-TAG the TM tag
  incorporated an embedded antenna and hourly schedule capability. Pictures at www.e-shepherd.co.uk 2009/2010 | 
| 
19 | 
TTX-TAG Bluetooth based remote download tag | 
Slightly larger than TM-TAG this one had
  Bluetooth in it to enable it to download data remotely | 
| 
20 | 
TTX-Base-station | 
A base-station that runs under Windows app
  control to look for known tags and download data from them when they are in
  range. Windows app written in VB by third party under contract. 2010/2011 | 
| 
21 | 
Project Adama | 
GPRS based GPS tracker under 15 gram completed
  weight 2010/2011 | 
| 
22 | 
Bus tracker | 
Long life bus tracker designed for a company
  called Basemap. Basemap used this data to improve bus routes for Essex County
  Council 2012 | 
| 
23 | 
Solar Boat GPS Datalogger |

Zigbee Home Automation based large scale
  network | 
Designed hardware and software for Zigbee Home
  automation enabled light control that enables one Zigbee gateway to control
  500 lights. Demo of 500 lights being 
  controlled is running in Lab. 2012 | 
| 
29 | 
GPS sheep tracker |

  accommodate products already made. 2012 | 
| 
30 | 
21 Channel Potentiostat | 
A device used in medical research. I designed
  PCB, digital electronics and firmware, Lance did the Analog Design 
2006/2007 | 
| 
31 | 
Rack Mount - 16 Channel Potentiostat | 
Similar to 21 Channel system but major size
  reduction and single PCB design. Lance did analog design. Major Issues:
  reduce inter channel noise due to miniaturisation. 2008 | 
| 
32 | 
48 Channel FRA (Frequency response Analyser,
  its type of a Potentiostat) | 
Super size FRA using motherboard and two daughterboard
  concept. Major issue: reduce inter channel noise due to the number of
  channels present.  Also, power supply
  design and PCB design were major overhauled. PIC18f8722. 2010 | 
| 
33 | 
8 Channel Potentiostat | 
Another variation of the multi channel Potentiostat.
