DATA ACQUISITION

MEDICINE

Using a space-age gyroscope to measure angular velocity, an ISR system helps physicians assess tremor in patients who suffer from Parkinson’s disease.

NATURAL GAS

ISR’s field testers, which employ Fourier analysis (FFT), are used by the gas and petroleum industry to measure gas flow and determine the cause and cost of measurement errors in high-pressure natural gas pipelines.

NEUROLOGY

Physicians use ISR’s software to access brain injuries by way of human eye movements measured with magnetic coils placed on the cornea.

KINESIOLOGY

Researchers use an automated target presentation system, developed by ISR, to assess how human movements are guided by target presentation and knowledge of results.

GAS

A PC-Based system is used to test and calibrate gas meters. The software by ISR is capable of monitoring six concurrent tests while sending test results to a remote server.

TEST AND MEASUREMENT

AUTOMOTIVE

ISR’s software has been used to test, validate and bar-code a car navigation system. Using a CD-ROM map, The Navigator provides audio instructions to the driver.

COMPUTER PERIPHERALS

ISR has developed custom software for IBM to allow this company to evaluate magneto-optical and WORM media for disk drive production. This software employs two computers to control GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus), VXI, and PC-Based devices.

ELECTRONIC PARTS

Based on off-the-shelf GPIB instruments, this ISR system measures numerous resistor networks quickly, automatically, effectively, and accurately, producing reliable quality control and quality assurance data.

HYDRAULICS

By measuring elevator velocity and acceleration profiles, this ISR test bench permits our customer to produce hydraulic elevator valves to stringent manufacturer specifications.

CONTROL AND AUTOMATION

OPTICS

Using a servo-controlled system developed by ISR, our customer measures the spectrum of large optical filters in three dimensions (horizontal, vertical, and wavelength).

PHYSIOLOGY

A closed-loop cuff-control software developed by ISR is used to measure blood pressure in humans non-invasively and continually (beat-by-beat).

PROCESS CONTROL

Two identical fail-safe systems, based on the WORKHORSE hardware, were integrated by ISR to control a supercritical process from a Sun workstation by way of the GPIB.

SUPERVISORY CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT

A PC-based system developed by ISR controls an automated (PLC-based) system to test potentiometers. The software, which assesses five potentiometers concurrently, employs a state-machine to control five substations for positioning, testing, printing, sorting and indexing of the five parts.
