Article: The Trials and Tribulations of an American InventorAlthough Dave has been providing technical and engineering services since 1972, the EDS name became established when Dave
designed the original SemiAnalyzer
59A
in 1985,
which he designed originally for himself to increase his
output as a subcontract service technician. After other technicians
saw the amount of help the second-generation SemiAnalyzer
59B was providing and
asking Dave to custom
build them
their own units, EDS was transformed into a viable business and incorporated a year later. Used by the
military, fortune 500 companies, individual service
technicians, and many technical trade schools and
colleges, the now-famous third-generation SemiAnalyzer
59C was just the first in a series
of unique test solutions to aid various technical
specialties.
Following
the EDS-59C SemiAnalyzer
was the EDS-68 Bus Line Tracer, which located
shorted and leaky components to their exact location on
the PC board, the EDS-69 Teletester series, which simulated two
telephone lines for repairing answering machines and
faxes, and the EDS-76 MicroAnalyzer, which was designed to help
microwave oven technicians check all parts in-circuit
under high-voltage load.
But Dave didn't just design test equipment. Dave started to invent life-improving solutions to make his life better and tried marketing some of them. You will recognize many of these life-changing items as ones you now use daily, or wish you had known about, not realizing they had already been invented, years ago.
In 1995, Dave designed two of his three most intensive projects, ProCar (the first owner-recognizing auto security system) and the Selective Teletransfer Unit STU that eliminates all nuisance calls and unifies your life and business, home and mobile, into one phone number. Many copies of both inventions were made in the following decades. STU was shown on CNBC and Dave was interviewed on FOX Channels 29 and 12 in Palm Beach County. See the YouTube video:
At the
St. Louis NESDA convention in 1996, EDS introduced the EDS-82A
LeakSeeker
,
a digital, automatic version of the Bus
Line Tracer, with many more capabilities. During 1997,
EDS introduced the world's best and fastest
in-circuit electrolytic capacitor checker, the EDS-88
CapAnalyzer
. After discontinuing Leakseeker 82B in 2012 when its ancient parts list became too difficult to source, loyal EDS fans became quite verbal and forced Dave to redesign LeakSeeker into the EDS-89, a super high-tech version of the EDS-82B with greater sensitivity and range, and much smaller, with its world-wide power adapter, the entire world accepted the LeakSeeker 89 with great enthusiasm.
Besides test equipment, throughout the years EDS has made many devices for internal marketing, as well as for other companies, on an OEM basis. Past products invented by Dave and made for EDS resale sales are the EDS-83 home/business Voice-Alert security system, the first security system with voice alert technology, the EDS-80 ProCar, the first auto anti-theft owner-recognizing anti-carjack security system with voice-alert and resonant wafer (RFID), the EDS-71 A/C Sentry air conditioning compressor monitoring efficiency-improving energy recovering system, now used in all central A/C systems, the EDS-63 "Christmas Computer", the first programmable light show controller designed for a Christmas light show, and the pool-alert (to detect motion or overfill). Other past products are the EMS-911 which was the first successful integration of the home/business security system and the commercial environmental flood and heat monitoring wireless network system, and the EDS-81 LinEx and STU telephone line-expanding and call filtration telecommunications systems. Systems designed for the OEM market span the medical, security, HVAC, remote control and telemetry, military, industrial plating, automotive (climate control, engine computers and remote start), robotic, and some really strange and unique projects. EDS clients range from single inventors to fortune 100 companies. In 2022, Dave was honored for his engineering accomplishments and endowment to the University of South Florida, Tampa by receiving the Dean's Appreciation Award during the 2022 Engineering Honors event. A short video of Dave's bio was presented; see the you-tube video.
