See the Success First Hand!
SFor decades, clients have come to us at different stages of product development and rely on Paragon to deliver engineering and product development expertise to bring their ideas to market. The following highlight some of our projects:
—"Paragon was a key member of the Edwards Hemosphere design team. Paragon designed much of the mechanical, several electronic subsystems and helped supervise tooling and the creation of custom connectors."
—Paragon was engaged to write the low level HAL and operating system code used to support this life-critical device.
—Paragon created electronics and software support systems for supporting this innovative cardiac assist system during animal trials.
—Paragon was engaged to write the low level HAL and operating system code used to support this life-critical device.
—"Paragon created a system that allows dedicated vehicle diagnostic and repair tools to be used remotely. The resulting product frees independent repair businesses to service the computer systems on a vehicle without having to invest in expensive, manufacturer specific test tools. To create this product, Paragon developed methodologies to quickly analyze new vehicle service protocols and develop applications software that allows the tools to operate as if they were co-located with the vehicle being serviced."
—This flag ship product for the 3M Display Systems Division makes it possible to use a projection based display that allows presenters to stand in front of the display without interfering with the picture due to an extremely off-axis projection head. Paragon designed all of the electronics and software that processed these images in real time.
—"InterFlo Medical (Baxter Healthcare) partnered with Paragon to develop a new technology for measuring blood flow continuously. To this day, no competing device can continuously monitor cardiac output with this level of accuracy and patient safety.
—Paragon designed Quest Medical's first Myocardial Protection System for use in cardiac surgery.
—"ADViSYS (now VGX Animal Health, a subsidiary of Inovio Pharmaceuticals) selected Paragon to design and develop an inducer designed to introduce small molecules, DNA plasmids or dyes, into muscle fibers of animals through electroporation."
—This product uses proprietary fiber optic technology to precisely measure blood pressure intravenously. The device has received FDA approval.
—"This system periodically uses GPS to determine if your dog is inside of a predefined area. If you pet leaves the area, the system uses SMS messaging to a common server to alert you to the location of your dog and provide directions to recover her."
—Paragon has designed many outdoor signage products including neon sign replacements.
—"Paragon created a ruggedized, military spec car kit. This car kit provides charging, hand free operation and push to talk operations for a specific set of rugged cell phones used by the military. The unit is currently used in front line vehicles by the US military."
—"Paragon performed the industrial design, electronics design and low level firmware design for the final generation Hertz Neverlost vehicle navigation system."
—Paragon developed an Android based time clock system. This system allows a digital time clock to directly update time information for payroll processing. In addition the system supports the ability to create Android applications to facilitate the use of the device to administer benefit management and other common personnel functions.
—"Paragon redesigned the Outlook series pumps with new hardware, new processors, new software, and new features such as barcoding and wireless. The previous pump series had component obsolescence concerns and didn't have computing horsepower for the new feature set required."
—Stringent development and verification processes are required for medical devices. Paragon performed all validation and verification testing on the new Vista Infusion Pump.
—"AMD turned to Paragon to develop, in less than 10 weeks, an evaluation board using a brand new microprocessor. The board was then highlighted at a national trade show."
—"Paragon designed the 3-Alarm Module for Andrew's dehydrator product line. This device was designed to accommodate multiple configurations, including various AC and DC power inputs to monitor pressure and relative humidity in wave-guide drying systems."
—"Paragon developed the next generation DaVaR software and hardware platform. Time was very critical on this project.
—"This system, developed by Paragon, was used by Alcon Labs during Phase 0 testing of a new generation of Photocoagulation Systems. In particular, this system allowed Alcon to configure and test various usability studies."
—Paragon developed a low-power flow meter device for Halliburton.
—"Paragon designed an HVAC energy-saving device that increases cooling capacity, reduces electricity usage, reduces pollution and CO2. The system is designed for outdoor operation in all weather conditions."
—"Paragon designed PETs, a reference design for the development and deployment of GPS / GSM / CDMA telemetry devices."
—"Paragon designed the first rugged, high definition video camera that fits on the nose bumper of a football helmet that provides a unique player point of view that is approved by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE)."
—Paragon created this system which uses proprietary sensing systems to monitor entry (normal and clandestine) into a shipping container. These entry events are recorded and time stamped in non volatile memory and are also transmitted via a GSM modem to a backend server. Location is determined using cell phone tower location and triangulation. This device has the unique ability to operate inside a metal cargo container without the use of external antennas.
—"This device created by Paragon connects to a vehicle's OBD-II port and monitors vehicle location using GPS, speed and driving habits (rapid acceleration, sharp turns, emergency braking, etc.) and reports this information to a backend server using a GSM modem."
—Firefighter Breathing Training Monitor
—"Paragon designed this battery operated product which is normally included in the packaging of high value goods. The device monitors and records, location shock, vibration, temperature and humidity. It contains a 3G cellular modem which is used to convey this information in real time."
—"Paragon supports this product which is used to summon emergency responders to specific locations in public settings, such as schools and court houses. Paragon is currently designing the next generation of this project."
—"The Ambrelus watch winder provides connoisseurs of fine watches to wind and display their precious collectors pieces. This system supports multiple winding methods, an elegant custom exterior including hand tooled leather and custom brushed metal aircraft style features."
