Wireless Technology

Micron's proprietary electronics are designed to fit an immense amount of processing power and RF communication into a very small package. One example, the SMART All-In-One microcontroller, is smaller than a standard credit card, yet it can control 32 devices and deliver live data streams to a PC. Controls can be executed by on-board algorithms or by user input. The device uses RF to connect directly to the PC or to network wirelessly to the nearest partner controller. This small device for wireless data acquisition and control can be retrofitted to or installed in an unlimited variety of systems where digitizing controls improves accuracy and ease of use.

Research Focus

Micron was founded as a research company. Micron has an expert history of innovating new concepts and quickly modeling and developing working prototypes. Since Micron's inception, research efforts closely revolved around two core technologies. The first is a complete vehicle energy management system with wireless maintenance and control. The second is a patented wing flap that returns control to the pilot in stall conditions which would otherwise result in complete control loss.

For vehicle energy management Micron has developed a smart hybrid battery/capacitor power system (the Micron SHP). The SHP was originally developed under multiple contracts to the U.S. DoD as a solution to frequent power system failure and associated maintenance in military fleets. The system is designed to replace the extensive labor of technicians in the field to monitor battery systems. Instead, maintenance for an entire fleet can be performed from an office PC. The SHP is easily interchangeable with conventional batteries and dramatically increases battery life, capacity and power reliability in military and commercial vehicles. It permits remote power system monitoring, maintenance and control for entire fleets, significantly reducing the cost and effort of maintaining vehicles with long stand times, while keeping them in an operationally ready condition. Several of Micron's products and capabilities stem from the SHP system because of extensive innovations that can readily be applied to other industries.

Micron's aerospace research revolves around a patented concept termed the Delta Flap. The Delta Flap has undergone extensive wind tunnel and water tunnel testing and is pending a flying model to provide proof-of-concept in the dynamics of real flight. Testing has proven the reattachment of separated flow over a wing in extreme angles of attack. With potential for this innovation to be retrofitted to any standard wing, the Delta Flap promises an enormous safety and performance improvement to the entire aviation industry. This project is a classic example of Micron's varied disciplines. From the pages of aerodynamic theory, to conceptual computer modeling, to hand assembly of prototypes and finally to field testing with custom electrical instrumentation, Micron sees an idea through each stage of development.
