[Skills Offered] Machine PCB assembly in the USA at TinkerBEE.com

Description:

Greetings;

We are offering affordable PCB assembly in the good old USA.

We purchased a MannCorp MC385-1V1 pick-and-place assembly machine for our retail and wholesale operations late last year, but our particular market will be slow for the next 6 months.

We’re looking for an excuse to keep this wonderful pick-and-place machine running over the summer (it’s a shame to have it sitting there collecting dust). We are hoping to find designers who have prototype, small batch, or low to medium volume needs.

Please contact us if you are looking for machine PCB assembly in the USA. Rates are negotiable – we don’t have a rate sheet because we’re new to doing contract work and it seems that every job is different.

We have placed SMT’s down to and below 19 mil pitch. Machine can easily place 0402’s and 010005’s (we purchased all the bells and whistles for this machine). We can pick up reel parts, cut tape parts, waffle packs, loose parts.

Our stencil printer is a manual stencil printer, we have printed SMT’s down to and below 19 mil pitch.

We can handle single boards, simple matrix panels or complicated matrix panels up to about 14” x 12”.

We can do lead and lead-free. We are rather informal so we feel we are a good fit for designers who are on a budget but don’t want to send their pieces overseas.

Looking forward to working with you on your project.

Description:

I’m a mix of a few realms. My goal is to work in interaction design/ux/ui design research jobs but I’m more than just that. I studied mechanical engineering and technical communications in undergrad with a nearly perfect GPA. From there I’ve been doing a dual masters in information science, human computer interaction and architecture science. Basic concept is I could come up with a sensor system for you, design its casing in 3D modeling program, create the website selling and advertising the product, determine an optimal social marketing strategy, and create a beautiful d3.js chart to graph the resulting data.

[Skills Offered] Inventor at in2Go-i

2012-11-30 19:46:39

Description:

Hi,
I’m a Klinefelter, from New Zealand, living in Sydney Australia.

I have a unique set of visual spatial skills.

Have invented designs / solutions for the likes of IBM & EDS (now HP). Was EDS’s no 1. inventor worldwide, for a period of time, and am now HP’s no 1. inventor in Australia, and have never worked for them.

Value of patents filed in US, Canada, Europe, Australia and Internationally, exceed $300 million USD, in the patent families: Medical, Financial & Image Processing.

Provided 100+ innovations to GM, some of which featured in the movie “the 6th Day”.

Have developed 184 ideas (not all patentable) this year, but there are some winners, as determined by independent reviews.

What I’m offering is the ability to create something completely new, 10 years ahead of the market.

I need an investor with whom I have instant synergy, who is on the same wavelength.

The investor can own the IP, and all the resulting royalties.

What I’m after is a mutually agreeable daily rate, for sharing an idea, developing the design, and recommending the IP protection process and the path to commercialisation, i.e. creating a fully functional IDF, that the investor can take to market.

Only interested in receiving responses from serious contenders.

Thanks for reading.
