Mr. Katz has a BSEE degree from CCNY and over 50 years of Engineering experience.
Successful in EMF, EMI and interference remediation designs. Solved problems due to electromagnetic radiation both in industrial and residential properties. Performed reduction of interference in sensitive, high gain amplification circuitry.
Spent fourteen years in acoustic signal processing. Developed circuitry to bring out low level signals heavily immersed in a loud sea-state noise background corrupted by own-ship (submarine) noise, crustaceans, whales and porpoises.
Developed the first large pet immune Dual Technology PIR Motion Sensor. Started with taking data on dogs and people and derived a motion sensor that was extremely sensitive and pet resistant. The final product did not see or false alarm on a hundred pound dog, yet detected a small women crawling on the ground in a hooded sweatshirt. Over 3-million products sold and there were no false alarm problems. Worked on the design and development of almost 20 PIR products. Consulted to other divisions to solve problems in motion sensors.
Generated over 50 inventions while at Honeywell and obtained patents for 6 products in the US and globally. Currently prepare patent disclosure write-ups for clients and have just filed two non-provisional utility patents for my own inventions.
