Project Summary 

1993 to present TELFORD TECHNOLOGIES, INC. OAKTON, VIRGINIA
Technical consulting in the area of computer software development and computer controlled system design, implementation, and integration.
 
Honeywell/Data Instruments - Wintriss Controls: Designed and implemented client/server based factory data collection system using MFC and Btrieve. Application communicates with metal stamping presses equipped with Wintriss Control products. Collected data is stored to database. Changes in key operating data is communicated via RPC to all connected workstations. System supports multiple data collection and user workstation computers. PACNet Ver. 1.0 released in November 1996. Ver. 2.0 released in August 1997.
 
Bayer Diagnostics: Designed and implemented client/server based medical data collection system using Borland OWL, MS SQL Server, Btrieve, and Crystal Reports. Application collects data from blood gas analyzers and stores in application database as well as forwarding data to the main hospital data base. Data collected from RS-232 and network connected instruments. All instruments can be controlled remotely over the network from supervisor workstations. Complement 2 Ver. 1.0 released in July 1995. RapidLink Ver. 1.0 released in August 1997.
 
Ziff Desktop Information: MS Windows application utilizing Borland C++, Blaise Win++ library, and Dataware ADL for search and display of 3 different CD-ROM databases built with Dataware CD-Author. Implemented virtual listbox control capable of displaying up to 2,000,000,000 items. Developed and enhanced various aspects of user interface in context of very large sets of information to be displayed. Audited program to insure proper allocation and freeing of memory and other system resources.
 
WEETECH Inc.: Computer controlled test system utilizing PCs, GPIB instrumentation, and custom PC controlled instrumentation programmed in Turbo Pascal for testing weapons systems. 5 test systems with 9 operator stations. Novell network linking all test systems.   Demonstration disk for ATE software package utilizing Instant Replay Professional for building the scripts and animation.
