  1. Company Status and Overview of Recent Development ProjectsMay 2011 to September 2012 David Baltz Chief Technologist Bladewerx LLC

  2. Achievements • Marked 10-Year Anniversary in May • Compact Hand and Foot Monitor • SabreBZM successor • UAV Sampler Development • Implemented QA Program Bladewerx Developments

  3. Company Status • Continued and steady overall growth • 14 Employees • 10-Year milestone • Shielding business is growing • Instruments business is growing • Entering new markets in instruments • Facility expansion in 2013 Bladewerx Developments

  4. Compact Hand & Foot Monitor • cHFM™ is a small-footprint, H&F or small article monitor • Highly configurable—supporting up to 4 detector channels • Supports gas proportional, air proportional or scintillation probes. • Exceptional ease of use with integrated touch-screen Bladewerx Developments

  5. cHFM design incorporates three new Bladewerx-designed PC boards • SDB. A “simple detector board” • 4CHAN. 4-Channel counter board • PES. Photo electric sensor Bladewerx Developments

  6. Simple Detector Board • Microprocessor-based detector board • 100 – 2000 VDC high voltage supply (3000 VDC optional) • 3 Thresholds (beta, alpha, & upper alpha (i.e. radon) • ASCII command-based communications • No internal adjustments Bladewerx Developments

  7. 4-Channel Board • Microprocessor-based counter board • Supports digital count inputs from up to 4 SDBs • SDB ‘pass-thru’ communications • ASCII-based commands • Support for hand/foot PES sensors and switch closure • Selectable ‘clicker’ speaker drive Bladewerx Developments

  8. PES • Infra-red (IR) proximity sensor • Pulsed frequency output • Low power Bladewerx Developments

  9. Four more building blocks • Customer-driven development for a UAV sampler • In-Line head featuring dual detectors (alpha-beta, and gamma guard) • New 2-channel preamp board • 2-Channel amplifier/detector board • Redesigned SabreMCA with 2-Channel detector board interconnect fits SabreMCA extrusion Bladewerx Developments

  10. Bladewerx Developments

  11. EpeéCAM™ • SabreBZM™ is nearing end of life • Electronic Personal (EP) CAM/BZM goals • Smaller and lighter than SabreBZM • More rugged and reliable • Support beta measurement • More ergonomic (multiple mounting/carrying options) • More suited to mass production Bladewerx Developments

  12. Features • Alpha/beta measurement • Radon mode option • With integrated ‘sans-plumbing’ head, or umbilical • Wireless capability or Ethernet • Voice Output • Variable speed 6 LPM high-reliability pump • Extremely simple user interface Bladewerx Developments

  13. Epee Board Set • 2-board set includes: • 2-channel analog and audio output “A” board • microprocessor-based digital logic “B” board Bladewerx Developments

  14. “A” Board • Alpha and beta channels, plus detector bias supply • Peak-Hold ADC front end • Anti-coincidence logic • No internal controls. All settings are software-controlled. • Audio amplifier Bladewerx Developments

  15. “B” Board • Direct integration with SBC Board bus • USB Host and Client ports • LED and membrane keypad support • Pump control and flow sensing • On-board Ethernet support Bladewerx Developments

  16. Air Sampling Features • Quiet, SKC High-Reliability Pump • Up to 6 LPM sampling rate (variable rate is customer settable) • ‘Hose-less’ sampling head • Can be ordered with BZM umbilical, or integrated head for miners Bladewerx Developments

  17. Summary • 8 new electronics boards • 2 entirely new instruments • 2 new sampling head designs • NQA-1-based QA Program implemented Also… • Produced 4 training videos • Completed assorted other development work Bladewerx Developments
