Control and Sensor Systems
Panacis has developed and patented novel sensor and control systems for use in demanding medical and industrial applications.
At Panacis we have experience developing and adapting a large variety of sensors components and systems, often using them in a cross-disciplinary fashion. For example, we’ve used automotive vibration sensors for monitoring human physiological effects, adapting lenses normally used in fiber optic communications to provide close-up views inside the human body, and using carbon doped plastics from battery manufacturing to detect cardiac activity. Our experience has given us an understanding of how to develop the best sensor and control system for a given design, which often frees us from having to use limited off-the-shelf solutions.
Examples of our experience include:
- pentium and FPGA based data acquisition and control system for engine testing, with integrated 6KW discrete control circuitry,
- specific wavelength irradiation and vision system for detecting florescence in a DNA analysis instrument,
- precise heating cycle control for a chemical reactor,
- fuel injector control and high speed 2500V isolated data acquisition for engine research,
- battery charge control and management system for high speed charging,
- pneumatic pressure control system with 1/100th psi differential pressure control, and
- sensitive piezoelectric sensor for detection of deep muscle movement.
