Walt Maclay quoted in Wall Street Journal article |

Walt Maclay and Voler Systems' Partner Mike Silverman of Ops A La Carte were both quoted in a January 14, 2010 Wall Street Journal Article on "Three Best Ways to Win a New Client"
1. Go where the growth is. Silverman says he attended trade shows for a few core industries that were doing well (medical, oil and gas, green technology, defense and space), and concentrated on specific geographic regions including the San Francisco Bay area and southern California. This helped the firm not be spread too thin, Mr. Silverman said. More than half of 2009's revenue came from these specific industries, he says.
2. Ally with other businesses. Maclay also is partnering with companies that provide similar or complementary services to pick up new clients. For instance, he's now working on two projects that combine Voler's electrical-engineering expertise with the other firm's mechanical-engineering specialty.
3. Use online tools. Reach out to others by maintaining a blog or a Facebook page with useful, educational content. Social-networking tools are also places to post promotions. Mr. Maclay says he gained new clients by posting the company's resume on Craigslist. |

We’re always excited to see a client in the news. AlterG is the creator of a customized Anti-Gravity Treadmill for athletic training and medical rehabilitation that enables elite athletes or those who are recovering from injury or surgery to improve mobility and health. It was a fun project that uses air to lift a person and reduce their body weight which lessens the impact on their body. They were recently featured in the San Jose Mercury News. |

We Grew Last Year!
Voler Systems is pleased to announce revenue growth in 2009. All of the revenue comes from billings for contract development work. Voler Systems is fortunate to be able to add the staff and capabilities that our customers have required during a time when many Silicon Valley firms are downsizing and scaling back.
Walt Maclay attributes much of their current success to a decision two years ago to build on the firm's expertise in sensor related design concentrating on the design processes and certifications necessary to satisfy a very demanding market in both the design of medical devices and testers for medical devices. Voler Systems’ expertise in sensors has dovetailed with the growing hunger for sensors and wireless devices.

PCB Layout Checklist
Here is a great checklist for printed circuit board (PCB) layout design. When we do a design we check all of these things and more. Some of the items in the list are general guidelines. Often we need to use our engineering judgment on the tradeoff between size, cost, testability, and manufacturability of the board. See our checklist
Challenges for Using Cameras in Endoscopes
Electronic cameras with video feeds are replacing miniature optical pathways in endoscopes. In the past, these miniaturized optical pathways composed of prisms and lenses (and in later generations, optical fibre) would take the image to the last part of the endoscope where the doctor would have to view it, wherever it was located. Now, the camera's video feed allows you to place the image on display anywhere, with any size, and very conveniently. This medical usage does impose some very unique requirements on such a design.
