Areas David Durand is Knowledgeable in:

Electronic Systems and Devices
Process Control Technologies
Entertainment Electronic Technologies and Systems
Security & Surveillance Technologies
Special effects lighting and sound

Techniques David Durand Uses:

- I developed different electronic test fixtures to be able to better and more easily troubleshoot complex circuit boards within their system environment.
- I developed an event data capturing setup using an o-scope and a logic analyzer to troubleshoot intermittent problems using a custom interface I designed to trigger the logic analyzer.
- I developed a cable reconfiguration of electronic hardware to isolate problems in a very massive and complex Computer Image Generator system.

David Durand's Problem Solving Skills:

  1. Electronic Design and prototyping

David Durand's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. - I troubleshot the very complex Computer Image Generators (CIG) that E&S manufactured down to the component level. These CIG systems were used in flight simulators as the image generators, the video seen on the displays, domes or WAC displays.
    - I developed a technology and equipment to differentiate out the different materials that have different levels of magnetic susceptibility from placer concentrates to recover the specific materials as in ilmenite, magnetite, hematite, garnet crystals, other materials including rare earths and to more easily recover the very fine gold and platinum.
    - I developed a new high capacity communication technology to get higher amounts of data over smaller bandwidth environments.
    - I developed a better gas mileage system that vaporized the fuel and uses water to increase the power and fuel efficiency and exits much cooler exhaust and uses a custom ECU Interface to the ECU computer.
