A little about my experience, projects and life

1. Joshua Luther My recent work and projects.

2. Presentation Overview Past Work Experience Projects Coursework Recent Seminars and Conferences Organization Affiliations My Facilities Personal Activities Picture of Myself in a Suit

3. Past Work EAA June 2003-Sept. 2006 Hypro Inc. June 2005-Sept. 2005 W.O.W. Ltd. June 2006-June 2007 UW-Fox Valley June 2007-Sept. 2007 MSOE Rapid Prototyping Center Dec. 2007-Present (Pictures of CNC Lathes, The flight sim, Chemicals, and prototyping lab)

4. Experimental Aviation Association(EAA Airventure Museum) Worked as a flight simulator operator. Trained new employees. Supervised volunteers during events. Wrote training manual for flight simulator. Responsible for customer service and money. Picture of flight simulator and EAA airventure

5. Hypro Inc. CNC Lathes Warner Swasey Morei Seiki SL35 Haas CNC Mills Produced among other things brake plates for John Deere tractors. Responsible for accuracy and throughput. Picture of SL35 and a Haas

6. Wisconsin Ordnance Works Ltd. Ran Lathes, Drills, Mills and Heat Treat operations among others. Manufactured sprockets for military use. Responsible for tolerances and throughput. Picture of a Bradley

7. University of Wisconsin - Fox Valley Research Chemist Synthesized new temperature sensitive TeBr4 based molecule. Responsible for documentation, verification, testing and development of procedures. Used computer simulation and experience to predict product formation. Picture of molecule 3D and reaction mechanics

8. Milwaukee School of Engineering Rapid Prototyping Center Support engineering personnel at ~65 companies Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), Johnson and Johnson, MasterLock, Georgia Pacific, Kohler, Dresser and Harley Davidson. Emphasis on StereoLithography Apparatus (SLA) Technology. Work directly with engineers, and help with material selection, prototyping technology, CAD problems, and manufacturing concerns. Train new operators and give tours to professors, students, and CEO’s. Picture of the SLA’s in the lab

9. Projects Orthopedic Hardware Locator 2007-Present Stroke Patient Knife 2007 Prototyping Machine and SLA Resin 2008-Present Electrocardiogram 2009-Present Picture of OHL, Knife, and ECG connected to me

10. O.H.L. Device will pinpoint orthopedic hardware destined for removal in a patient. Once the optimal incision location is determined by the O.H.L. device, the surgeon will cut and be guided to the hardware by further use of the O.H.L. device. This will minimize surgical time, incision size, and time searching in a 3D person using 2D images. Emphasis is placed on better patient outcomes. Lead prototyping and electronic development. Designed ergonomic case. Designed oscillators. Team competed as finalists in MSOE Business Plan Competition. Possibly going to market product in India.

11. Stroke Patient Knife Knife was designed with a team of Freshman my first year at MSOE. Knife is designed to cut food effectively using only one hand. (Try that with a normal knife and see how it works) Rocking design and weight minimizes effect of tremors. Guard allows high pressure to be used if capable. Grip is ergonomic and comfortable to use for many hand sizes

12. Prototyping Machine and Resin Due to current state of project no further information is publicly available.

13. Electrocardiogram This is a fun project for me that started as a class project. I am currently working to write a program to interface the signal into my development board for portable ECG analysis.

14. Coursework Depth in electronic circuitry Instrumentation Amplifiers Transistors Control Systems Imaging Biomechanics Physiology Six Sigma – Green Belt Along with standard Mechanics, Engineering Economics, etc. Picture of books on bookshelf

15. Recent Seminars and Conferences IEEE Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) PC-Board Design considerations. BMES 2009 Medical Device Design and Manufacturing Expo - Midwest 2009 Pictures of pittsburgh, IEEE and MDD&M

16. Organizations IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Membership. (EMBS) BMES Tau Beta Pi (TBP) Engineering Honor Society Alpha Eta Mu Beta (AEMB) BMES Honor Society Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) IEEE Honor Society

17. My Facilities ELECTRONICS Multiple DC power supplies HP 5384A 11 digit Frequency Counter DSO-2090 Oscilloscope GPIB Looking for a good price on a GPIB-capable, 5 or 6 ½ digit DMM GARAGE Engine Crane Engine Stand Wire-Feed Welder Floor Jacks Paint gun and compressor Most air and hand tools known to man Most importantly a very nice stereo
