IBM and Lexmark had excellent Technical Education and Voluntary Education programs during the nearly 25 years I worked for them. I averaged about nine classes per year, for 217 classes total, in a wide variety of technical, communications, and business areas: I supplemented these classes with vendor seminars, both on-site and off-site. To stay abreast of technical developments in my areas, I also read an average of 250 technical books and 800 technical magazines each year.
Robust Electronic Design, Inc. is the research arm of dBi Corporation, an EMC testing and consulting company based in Lexington, Kentucky. Our staff has been directly involved in putting over 110 major products into mass production at Sycor, IBM, and Lexmark. Our specialties include: We have over 29 years experience designing/developing and putting products into production, supporting them in the field, and killing them off when they become obsolete. Our experience spans over 32 types of CISC and RISC microprocessors and microcontrollers, from the original Intel 8008 up through 1.26GHz Intel Celerons and Pentium III's. We have developed products with a wide range of semiconductor memories, from EPROM's up through 133MHz SDRAM's. We have developed products with a variety of local-area network (LAN) and peripheral interfaces, including Ethernet, IDE, IEEE 1394 (FireWire), LocalTalk, MODEM's, parallel, PCI, serial, Token-Ring, and USB. And we have used chipsets, ASIC's, FPGA's, and PAL's from a number of vendors to glue these pieces together to make them work.
