Hydraulic Power Test System Development for the United States Navy
Ken DeGraw, Sigma Design Company's northern NJ rep recently brought in a very interesting project. We are working on a NAVSEA research program to design and build a large Hydraulic Power supply for the US Navy's weapon testing system. Sigma is very excited to work on a project with the US Navy. Talk about a project in 'our wheelhouse' as they say. Jerry Lynch, a 'tin can sailor' who served as a...

Thermal Analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Sigma Design understand Complex engineering solutions are, well, 'complex'.- That accurately describes the challenge of recent job for a global metal manufacturing firm.- In this job Sigma was to reverse engineer and model a heat exchanger that is used in a foundry for creating alloy steel bars. In this application, hot metal flows in from one side, at 2800-

The term 'rat race' has been described as a seemingly pointless or endless pursuit .- The work of today's research scientist is hardly pointless but one aspect of the work, while not endless, was a tedious pursuit.- We are describing the work of researchers charged with the task of- observing and documenting the behavior of mice in lab settings. The job was to watch and score lengthy video...

US investment in RD at federal laboratories has been the fuel for long term US technology advancement and competitiveness - from space exploration to internet development. Now, more than ever, the private sector needs to bridge the chasm between the federal laboratories and the marketplace in order to boost the economy and propel hi- tech job growth. There are opportunities to harvest the $400...

University Collaboration
At universities all over the country, scientists are churning out the research that can potentially lead to innovative new products. But many of these great ideas get stuck in academic labs because university scientists lack the business experience to develop a commercial product. Today's universities are supporting these products further and assist in the commercialization process. Montclair...

Prevention Invention
Anyone with a gas stove has probably had the scary experience of realizing that they have left the stove burner on. Unlike today's refrigerators that call you back to the room when you have left the door ajar, most gas burners provide no indication that they are still on. A simple mistake could lead to a deadly fire in your home. Matthew Porraro came to Sigma Design with a solution to prevent...

A globally-known filter manufacturer had a fast-paced program and needed help to reduce their test program time. Starting with a first-pass iteration of a filter canister design, Sigma engineers used non-linear plastic simulation analysis to determine whether long-term cyclic loading would be likely to cause permanent deformation, and worse yet, failure.- - After further simulation review we...
