Product Descriptions

Embed Inc. engineers have a long history of successful product development. Following is a sampling of case studies and descriptions of products that we have delivered. For more detailed technical information, please contact us at info@embedinc.com.



Commercial Products
Ethernet Switch

Embed Inc. engineers created the embedded firmware that controls the high speed communication IC's of an ethernet switch.
Rotary Alphanumeric Display

This unit contains a set of LEDs that are swept in a circle. The LEDs are power sequenced to present the appearance of a stationary alphanumeric display to a human observer. Embed engineers created the firmware for the embedded processors which control the LEDs in real time, maintain the message in non-volatile memory and communicate with a host computer. These devices also perform network communication and coordination.
Speed Controller for Marine Engines

Embed Inc. engineers created the firmware for the embedded processor that receives user input and feedback signals, performs PID servo control operations, and drives the throttle actuator using pulse width modulation.
Portable Data Logger

Embed Inc. engineers created the firmware and host software for a portable device that can record up to 24 analog channels, save the values in non-volatile memory and download them to a host computer on demand.
Flight Simulator

This system contains over a hundred actuators and input devices and a number of electro-mechanical subsystems. Embed Inc. engineers created the firmware for an embedded processor that acts as an I/O concentrator, communicates with the main system controller via TCP/IP, and performs the high speed real time control tasks. Embed Inc. engineers co-designed the architecture for distributing more intelligence to lower levels, designed the communications protocol, created the corresponding firmware architecture in the low level distributed embedded processors, and supplied the interface libraries for hardware access on the main system controller.



Consumer Products
Bicycle Training Device

Embed Inc. engineers created the embedded firmware and host software for a bicycle training device. This small, low power device mounts on a bicycle and measures speed, torque, heart rate, and other parameters and saves the data in non-volatile memory. Data can be downloaded into a computer for analysis.



Industrial Products
Film Recorder Driver and Software

Embed Inc. engineers designed and created the host computer software for driving a high-end film recorder. This unit is capable of producing 10 micrometer pixels across an 8 x 10 inch piece of sheet film. The software was a complete, turn-key package including the end user application with a graphical user interface to a Windows NT kernel mode device driver.
Lid Pressing Machine

Embed Inc. engineers created the control firmware for an industrial machine for pressing lids onto containers.
Power Sequencing System

Embed Inc. engineers conceived, designed, and shipped units of a power sequencing system. This system controls the incoming line power for a complex industrial system. The components include DC power supplies, lights, computers, emergency system, cooling and ventilation system and utility power outlets. The power sequencing system provides a number of switched line power outputs, DC inputs and digital I/O used to verify power supply operation. The system follows programmable sequences for power up/down. Actions can be initiated from user inputs, an optional host computer and in response to digital and analog inputs.
Tachometer and Flow Meter

Embed Inc. engineers designed the analog circuitry and created the embedded firmware for a family of products incorporating a patented magnetic flow sensor.
