Erik's Other Inventions |
These are some inventions and prior works that
I've been involved with during my time in the software industry. Many employers
ask you to give a list of prior inventions. This is usually done to avoid any
potential problems with non-disclosure agreements or accidentally divulging
trade secrets from another company in the course of your work or research. This
is both for their protection, and yours.
June, 1996 - March, 1997
Assisted with developing a mathematical algorithm for automating the process
of estimating starting parameter estimates for non-linear curve fitting engines.
June, 1998 - May, 1999
Created a series of tests using mathematical algorithms, designed to perform
a sanity check for comparing generated images at the pixel level. These were
used in some automated testing to verify image quality and consistency of the
graphic output.
March, 1999
Developed a Windows-based Cyclic Redundancy Check program for comparing files
to determine if they are identical. It calculates a 32-bit unique identifier
for each file submitted for analysis.
May, 1999 - August, 1999
Worked on a sound analysis and visualization program designed for use with sound
research. Created a two interactive graphical user interfaces using sliders
and an OpenGL prototype, which were designed to control the sound parameters
and functionality in real-time. Also helped to create the underlying class structure
to support the interfaces directly.
