Bin Better - Optimizing Organization

Custom Circuit Solutions is the developer of the Bin Better brand. Bin Better was the results of Custom Circuit Solutions need to store and organize thousands of small electronic components over the years. Current market solutions were inadequate for what we were trying to achieve. As a result, we have developed our own solutions that we are now bringing to market through our channels at Amazon and our Bin Better website.

SinchTech Secure Car Covers

Custom Circuit Solutions was a lead partner in the development of the SinchTech Secure Car Cover system. This integrated technology provides the ability to LOCK your car cover to your car, providing much more wind resistance and theft protection when compared to other methods currently used for most car covers. Our new system takes approximately 30 seconds to fully engage, compared to nearly 5 minutes for standard wind straps and security cables.

Rolled Ice Cream Machine Repair

Custom Circuit Solutions has become the foremost experts in the USA for repair and servicing of rolled ice cream machines. We became involved in this service when a local rolled ice cream shop had no one else to turn to when all of their machines broke down. We run another website www.rolledicecreammachines.com to support other business owners in the same situation. As a result of this work, we are now equipped with the knowledge and equipment to support other vapor-compression refrigeration systems.

Refrigeration System Design

Custom Circuit Solutions is the designer behind the high-reliability portable Thai fried ice cream roll machine known as the Arctic Griddle. Information about the unit can be found here: https://arcticgriddle.com

PC Card Development

Custom Circuit Solutions has developed many custom PC cards over the years for various industries. These include a variety of interfaces such as PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe. Applications include custom timing boards, data-acquisition systems, and co-processing units.

Industrial Controls

Custom Circuit Solutions specializes in development of all kinds of industrial controls. Our custom products are used by a wide range of customers in every industry imaginable. Whether our boards are operating in a challenging piece of agriculture machinery or running and monitoring production on a factory floor, our boards have shown unparalleled reliability.

Custom Single Board Computer Addon Boards (Capes, Hats, Shields, ... )

Custom Circuit Solutions can quickly build custom capes, hats, and shields for all of your single board computer projects. Whether you are using a Raspberry PI, Beaglebone, Arduino, or other device, we can provide custom solutions, often within a few days.

Fiber-Optic Networks and Sensors

The chief engineer of Custom Circuit Solutions obtained a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, specializing in fiber-optic sensors. He is an expert in fiber-optic interferometric and Bragg grating sensors. Custom Circuit Solutions also has experience in designing high-channel-count high-speed Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) data networks, including components such as EDFA and Raman optical amplifiers.

Custom Electric Vehicle Design

Custom Circuit Solutions has been working with electric vehicle technology long before commercial EVs were available. We've developed high power DC motor controllers, custom interface controls, and advanced LiFePo battery monitoring systems. With commercial EVs now available, we are now working on custom mods for production EVs.

Patents (Available For Licensing)

Patent #10967719 - Vehicle Cover And Integrated Security System

Custom Circuit Solutions was a lead partner in the development of the SinchTech Secure Car Cover system. Our patent covers the integration of a secure wire rope into the hem of the car cover that can be tighented, either manually or mechanically, and combined with a secure locking mechanism, to ensure the car cover can not be removed from the car. This method of protection provides better wind and theft resistance compared to any other type of car cover strapping method on the market. It can be installed in just a matter of seconds, compared to several minutes for other solutions. An electronic version of the system is also available that can monitor the tension in the car cover and transmit alarms to the user. This patent is currently available for licensing via SinchTech Car Covers LLC.

Patent #9667349 - Dynamic Range Extension of Heterodyne Fiber-Optic Interferometers Via Instantaneous Carrier Measurement

Fiber-optic interferometers have traditionally been limited in dynamic range on the high end to +/-PI radians between measurements. Our patented method is able to improve dynamic range on the high end by more than 20 dB. By tracking the angular velocity of the carrier signal, we can predict with a high degree of confidence the number and direction of PI jumps in the signal. These jumps can then be corrected for, thereby increasing the maximum signal that can be acquired. This patent is licensable via the US Navy.

Patent #9628314 - Digital I/Q Reprocessing Demodulator (DIRD)

Fiber-optic demodulators have traditionally required substantial digital processing power to extract the desired signal. This patented digital processing method significantly reduces the computation requirements, while simultaneously reducing the amount of error introduced. The demodulator utilzes an ARCTAN function, which when utilized in the non-linear portion of the curve, takes much more computing cycles than when in the linear portion. Our patent breaks the processing into two phases so that all computations occur in the linear region. In doing so, hardware procssing rquirements are minimized and introduced error can be made negligible. This patent is licensable via the US Navy.

Patent #8180595 - Portable Data Acquisition System

Based on PC104 technology boards, we developed an ultra-thin and portable data acquisition system. The form factor of the system was critical so that it could be mounted to the exterior of a submarine hull with minimal flow disturbance. The purpose of this data acquisition system was to be an easily deployable system for measuring accelerometers and acoustic sensors on the exterior of a submarine. This patent is licensable via the US Navy.

Patent #7894204 - Matrix Board Assembly

This patent covers a series of matrix input and output boards that when combined together simplify the routing of any one input to any one output. This simple set of boards is easy to configure, allows injection of calibration signals, and routes signals with less loading/noise than traditional signal routing ICs. This system works best for large channel count systems. This patent is licensable via the US Navy.
