Smart Electronics /RF/ Microwave Engineers Exploit Chaos to Design for Reliability of Complex Products and Platforms

Modern electronic design automation (EDA) is a powerful tool for EE /RF/ microwave engineers, but these tools do not address 3D electromagnetic (EM) field radiation, crosstalk and interference which plays a critical role at high frequencies and high data rates.

Solution Finder: A Matching Engine for Aviation's Digital Transformation

Aviation's digital transformation is stalled by a selection problem, not a technology shortage. Hundreds of software vendors serve maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), flight operations, and supply-chain functions, yet operators have no structured way to identify which tools fit their fleet, systems, and regulatory environment.

Procurement is driven by word-of-mouth and trade-show contact,

The Griffiths Dual-Ring Superconducting Artificial-Gravity Habitat Architecture: Counter-Rotating Magnetic Levitation Design for Long-Duration Deep-Space Habitation

The Dual‑Ring Superconducting Artificial‑Gravity Habitat is a counter‑rotating, magnetically levitated deep‑space habitation architecture designed to provide long‑duration artificial gravity without the gyroscopic penalties of single‑ring centrifuges. The system consists of two concentric toroidal rings: an outer habitation ring with a 100‑metre diameter delivering 0.8 g at a rotation rate of 3.78 RPM,

The Griffiths Free-Flying EVA Logistics Sled

The Griffiths Free-Flying EVA Logistics Sled (NGLS) is a purpose-built EVA logistics vehicle designed to solve a capability gap that traditional astronaut maneuvering units were never intended to address. Systems like SAFER and the historical MMU were built for personal mobility and emergency return, not for transporting heavy equipment, structural components,

True Random Number Generator

I have developed and released a software implementation of a true random number generator based on quantum-inspired wave function simulation running on a geometric algebra supercomputing platform.

The core principle: instead of hardware such as photon path splitting, vacuum fluctuations, or radioactive decay,

Universal Visibility Restoration Platform for Scattering Environments

Visibility degradation caused by fog, haze, smoke, dust, and turbid water remains a major challenge for transportation, autonomous systems, defense, marine operations, industrial inspection, and search and rescue. Existing solutions are typically designed for a single environment or depend on expensive thermal, infrared, LiDAR, or specialized imaging hardware, limiting their large scale deployment.

ZIPLOK AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING NUT Flexible Thread Technology

Flexible Thread Technology (FFS) was invented by Robert Fullerton in 1979 and has 6 U.S. patents granted and 4 new, “Automatically Mechanically Locking Fastener/Coupler” provisional patents. 

The success of these projects prompted NASA to include FFS Technology as a “Recommended Technique for Effective Maintainability in Selection of Robotically Compatible Fasteners and Handling Mechanisms”.
