Design Criteria, Inc.

United States

In the last decade there has been a surge of autonomous electronic devices such as laptops, tablets, cell phones, digital cameras, medical devices and many others. We are steadily marching towards greater levels of convenience. There is a demand to keep electronic devices online. Customized and powerful SMART solar power chargers are designed and manufactured by Design Criteria, Inc. We use high efficient, lightweight photovoltaic cells to minimize solar panel sizes.

Design Criteria, Inc. offers power distribution units (PDUs) and solid-state power controllers (SSPC) designed and manufactured to your requirements. We can include power sequencing, power monitoring as well as power control. Our power controllers and PDUs have very low on-state resistance and are isolated magnetically using a proprietary galvanic circuit. Our controllers can shut-down the output power bus in under 10 s.

Design Criteria, Inc. is an innovation shop with a broad range of experience in designing and manufacturing power transformers and inductors for all types of switching power supplies. We can manufacture to your print or we can assist in your design. DCI offers off-the-shelf power magnetics in a wide range of current handling capabilities and for harsh environments. We also design custom cores for unique applications.

Design Criteria, Inc. has developed a unique and robust high power infrared (IR) illuminators for military and law enforcement applications. Our ClearKnight is designed for small robotic umanned aerial systems or handheld equipment which provides high power IR illumination.

The Load Watcher I automatically monitors the weight of a tank to determine the level of the internal liquid and reports the status to a host computer via modem at selected times. Reporting and polling times can be selected for any time of the day or night to minimize phone line interruptions during business hours. The Load Watcher I remains in an idle mode to maximize battery life except during polling times. Tank levels are monitored during each polling time and calls are made to the host computer at selected levels. The default number of levels is four: full, half, one-quarter, and empty. The number of levels can be easily be changed more as well as the monitoring level. Manual polling and reporting is a standard feature. The system can operate using four AA batteries or with an external wall plug. The host software can generate history reports and notify the customer or agent that a tank needs refilling.
