About


Orin E. Laney

 Orin E. Laney is an experienced, accomplished electrical engineering consultant, author, seminar instructor, and designer. He is expert in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity (SI). Resources include a well-instrumented R&D workbench and a manufacturing line for custom products and magnetic components (inductors and transformers). 


 As a design generalist, example projects include a bubble detector for liquid hydrogen fuel lines for rocketry, a helmet mounted miniature LCD display and viewing angle tracking electronics, aerospace ablation detectors with signal averaging and telemetry, video processors for HD and composite video, parallel to field sequential RGB conversion, video cameras for tactical aircraft, microwave rate serial digital communications, and studio electronics for teleprompting.

 Medical projects include contactless nerve stimulation using pulsed magnetic fields (electrostimulation), electromyography processing electronics, ultra-miniature endoscopic TV camera, signal integrity verification of a proton therapy machine, signal integrity and power architecture of a CAT scanner, A and B-scan format ultrasound imaging, and time-gated photon detection for DNA analysis.

 Communication skills include extensive writing and public speaking experience, and expert witness work in patent litigation including technical report generation, deposition experience, and trial experience.
