Embedded Engineering is founded by Mr. Lawrence Adelberg. Larry has 20 years in product development experience for government/military applications, commercial point of sale products, video distribution, web application development and server applications.
With an educational background which includes a Bachelors of Science in Physics from University of Maryland in College Park and a Masters Degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Electrical Engineering, Larry has the technical background necessary to solve engineering problems in the areas of Digital Signal Processing, Electromagnetics (including RF engineering) and hardware and software design.
Larry began his work career as a Cooperative Education student with the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Division of NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center at the age of 19 where he developed numerical models and worked on hardware implementations for
and Dr. Hugh Christian.
Upon graduation, Larry took a job with Orion Engineering, a small contractor in Washington working on a grant from Strategic Defense Initiative Organization where he developed a numerical model to predict performance of varied satellite constellations and interceptors.
Larry then joined SWL (Signal Warfare Labratory), a company providing technical support to the Navy SIGINT programs for shipborne assets. Specifically, Larry provided project management and technical support to shipborne radio direction finding equipment and horizon extension systems. Larry also provided engineering support to subsurface projects involving towed arrays and airborne assets as needed by the company.
At Georgia Institute of Technology, Larry was a Graduate Research Assistant in the Atmospheric Remote Sensing group where he worked on signal processing and radiative transfer models for sub millimeter wave radiometers. Mr Adelberg developed a technique for calibration of radiometers using Wiener filters, culminating in a paper to IGARSS "Optimal Calibration of Radiometers Using Wiener Filters" in 1993.
In 1993, Larry joined California Microwave, Airborne Systems Integration Division where he work as a Staff Scientist on algorithm development, RF and hardware design and systems engineering for airborne direction finding systems, working on two classified projects that culminated in fielded systems.
Entering the private sector, Larry joined Checkmate Electronics. He reworked Checkmates Magnetic Ink Character Recognition software, dramatically reducing both misreads and number of characters which failed to read in the low cost checkreaders. Ultimately, Larry became the manager of the entire platform engineering team which included hardware development, software development and mechanical engineering. During a roughly 15 month period, 4 new products were brought to market including two new checkreaders, a touchscreen signature capture pinpad product, a new pinpad product while re-releasing a number of products to Manufacturing with significant engineering improvements.
After brief experience at an ISP, Mr. Adelberg joined Video Networks (now Pathfire) as a java developer. He quickly moved up to become the leader of the Core Technology Team which developed the server applications for a multicast media distribution system. He also led a spike solution team to identify the cause of system failures and develop a remedy. This resulted in a short term solution and then the development of a second generation multicast system.
In his most recent position, Larry help establish 4Access Communications Corporation, working with the CEO by developing white papers to assist in the acquisition of funding. 4Access has designed the first Linux based payment terminal capable of reading and imaging checks and processing credit card transactions. Larry was the Vice President of Software Development although he worked closely with the hardware development team in California and provided direct support to the sales and business development staff. Further he developed relationships with third party providers. He built the Atlanta division of 4Access, handling all aspects of the local operations.
