SENSORS & CONTROLS

Creare develops technology for a wide range of sensor and control applications. Much of this work lies at the frontier between the physical world of motion, flow, temperature, and chemistry and the electronic world of signal processing and computers. We serve clients in the aerospace, biomedical, military, and energy communities with innovative and multi-disciplinary approaches to their sensing, instrumentation, and control needs.

Creare engineers combine a sound understanding of the fundamentals of physics with experience and skills in state-of-the-art control algorithms, data acquisition, real-time signal processing, computer and DSP hardware, software development, materials, and fabrication processes. At the same time, we focus on practical and cost-effective solutions to the most challenging measurement, control, and instrumentation requirements. The following examples illustrate our depth and diversity:

Examples of our work include:

• Low cost, miniature, thin-film corrosivity monitoring using a wireless RF data link
• Laser-based optical sensor for verifying launch bar seating alignment of carrier-based aircraft
• System for ultrasonic soil imaging
• Control algorithms and software for immersive environments
• Feedforward active noise reduction for communication and hearing assessment headsets
