Design for All Seasons

Stratos’ mix of projects testifies to the broad scope under which the company operates.

By Stuart Glascock | September 2010 | FROM THE PRINT EDITION

Here is a sampling:

RFID Bicycle Detection: Stratos and the Dero Bike Co.
partnered to develop a system for employers to give a benefit to bike commuters.
A wireless RFID (radio frequency identification) system records the number of
times a commuter arrives by bike, then sends the data to a website that
administrators can access to create payroll reports.

Rapid Analyte Measurement Platform: Response Biomedical
developed RAMP to provide diagnostic information in minutes for both
point-of-care testing and onsite laboratory use. But emergency rooms needed
more functionality, such as the ability to run several tests simultaneously,
and Stratos was brought in to design a new device, now capable of processing up
to 36 tests per hour.

Microsoft Xbox S Controller: Stratos optimized the
ergonomics and control placements for the Microsoft Xbox S controller.

Meso Biocapture 650: Stratos designed a rugged portable
device for collecting air samples for biological and chemical agents, based on
MesoSystems’ proprietary collection technology.

Fluke Series 70 Multimeter: Stratos redesigned Fluke’s
well-regarded series of digital multimeters used for measuring electrical current,
voltage and resistance.

InFocus IN1 home theater projector: InFocus
chose Stratos as the mechanical design partner for the IN1, a 100-inch picture
projector with integrated speakers for theater-like at-home gaming and movie
watching.
