SIGNALS in Motion LLC. An Engineering intelligence company.

Signals In Motion, LLC develops new products and provides consulting services to solve diverse engineering problems. We are experienced in developing commercial, industrial, military, and space related products. We work with customers to design and develop their products from concept to production. We collaborate with many facilities to build both electronic and mechanical products. We emphasize project management with status reporting, schedule adherence, and cost controls.

Our Services Include:

• Product Development
• Software Development
• Rapid Prototypes
• Data Acquisition
• System Modeling
• System Simulations

Algorithm Development

If you have an instrument or product that must respond accurately to the physical properties of some device that has a nonlinear or semi-linear output, then it may be desirable or necessary to convert this data to a form that produces an accurate output that you can use in your product. This data may also be affected by temperature, pressure or some other environmental factor that needs to be accounted for.  This means that you need an algorithm built into your product.

A mathematical algorithm may be implemented in digital or analog form. The choice is an engineering decision based on cost, speed of execution, time to develop and other factors.  We have performed both types of designs many times, with exactitude.
