Ken McGarvey
Machine vision
Following the Boeing war-gaming group, Ken joined Technical Arts Corporation and began a journey into machine vision. He was part of a team that built high accuracy 3D measurement systems using laser triangulation. His expertise in 3D geometry and color-imaging algorithms advanced as he worked with high-speed, real-time applications in food processing. Ken has engineered designs with imaging sensors, moving belt or in-air inspection, and ejection mechanisms. His experience includes processor-level interfaces, such as parallel-graphics processors and embedded DSPs, as the core of a vision engine. Resume
Steve Wagner
Microprocessors & embedded applications
Influenced by three years as an operating-room orderly, Steve took nursing before switching to medical electronics. Turning down hospital job opportunities, he went to work for Tektronix, testing and repairing in-circuit emulators and gaining expertise with microprocessors and embedded applications. He returned to school for more formal training in computer science and accepted an engineering position with Tektronix. Steve is skilled at driver-level development, GUI, database and many types of systems interfaces. Steve’s four girls, his wife being one of them, outvote him every day! Resume
