Services

Pyramid Technical Consultants, Inc. provides consulting engineering services and hardware for major projects and product developments.  It specializes particularly in distributed real-time control systems for accelerator systems and ion current measurement electronics. Here are some examples of our prior and current projects.

	RF linac control system for ion implanters using real-time digital RF processing and multiple DSPs, and DeviceNet host communications.
Patented scan-magnet control system for an ion implanter using DSP waveform synthesis and PCI interfacing.
	Sperm motility analyzer using video imaging and pattern recognition
Proton microprobe system for a proton-induced X-ray emission experiment
	Control system for a tandem accelerator
Five-axis motion control and current monitoring system for an ion implanter using a custom motor control board, real-time DSP, Ethernet host communications, and multiple digital current monitors communicating via serial fiber optic links.

Pyramid adds to its in-house physical modeling capability by working in association with Best Solution Ltd (www.best-solution.co.uk) to provide high-accuracy electromagnetic and mechanical finite element analyses of critical devices such as beamline magnets and stressed mechanical assemblies, using 3D codes from Vector Fields and Ansys.
