By eliminating trivial or time consuming tasks with intelligent control systems, our days and lives run more smoothly. I see other situations in my life that could be automated with ease, but there are no commercially available products (at a reasonable price point). This spring I took it upon myself to bring some home-brewed intelligent control to my own life.
We pride ourselves on very well written, easy to implement APIs, great drivers and diagnostic tools, fully available technical support, and manuals which engineers can actually follow. In fact, some customers have told us they consider Sealevel an extension to their team, offering scalable engineering support for low-level hardware and software requirements on demand. All of this helps our customers become more competitive, more productive organizations.
For me, one of the draws of engineering at Sealevel is personal involvement in the full product design cycle. Throughout my engineering career I have enjoyed working with a team to bring concepts to reality, and in particular, having visibility and influence over the project as it matures. Engineering at Sealevel is structured, hands-on, and exciting.
While the R1000 is a great low power embedded computer for industrial control, monitoring and kiosk-type applications, it can also find a good niche at home.The systems’ small, rugged metal enclosures allow them to be used in virtually any application.
Students from several disciplines at the University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) are working to construct an Apollo Command Module flight simulator that will “simulate the full mission from launch to landing.” For the UAH students, the two-year project is the experience of a lifetime.
Einstein had it in buckets. Isaac Newton was no dummy, and neither are modern examples like Steven Hawking, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. People who are smart often do well in their lives and are remembered in history for their achievements. Sealevel is full of smart people.
I never thought that software would make me want to purchase a car until I read about Ford’s recent announcement of new Sync technology that it is adding to its new line of vehicles. With this new technology, Pandora users will be able seamlessly move from listening to music on their mobile device walking to the car, then switch to listening to the same music in the car through the car’s sound system without missing a beat. Now, this is giving the people what they want!
Just a month ago, I supported a customer who needed some assistance troubleshooting his marine navigation application on his boat. After discovering we had both served in the Navy, he began to tell me about his experiences. I became more curious of who this customer was as the day went on, and so I googled him. I found articles immediately; I had no idea that I had been talking to an aviation celebrity.
“Wouldn’t it be cool if I could take a picture of a street scene and instantly be able to identify what I was looking at? Something like what the Bing search does on its home page.” The page displays an image that is tagged and hyperlinked to information about elements of the image. Now imagine that you could take a picture with your mobile camera, and those buildings in the picture would be automatically tagged using image recognition and actual GPS coordinates of the buildings. The picture would be placed in the context of my location and hyperlinked to information about the objects in the photo. You would have an automated tour guide.
Sealevel will be heading back to the West Coast at the end of April for ESC 2010, the industry’s leading embedded systems event. This year Sealevel will be showcasing our RISC-based R9 product family that boasts RISC computing power, unmatched I/O, and a wide temperature range. We will also have a wide variety of our other products for you to check out. Stop by Booth 734 to talk with me or Brian Edens, our national sales manager, about how Sealevel can help you customize these application-ready products. The event runs from April 26-29 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.
