Company Status and Overview of Recent Development Projects May 2011 to September 2012 David Baltz Chief Technologist Bladewerx LLC
2
Achievements Marked 10-Year Anniversary in May Compact Hand and Foot Monitor SabreBZM successor UAV Sampler Development Implemented QA Program 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments2
3
Company Status Continued and steady overall growth 14 Employees 10-Year milestone Shielding business is growing Instruments business is growing Entering new markets in instruments Facility expansion in 2013 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments3

Compact Hand & Foot Monitor cHFM™ is a small-footprint, H&F or small article monitor Highly configurable— supporting up to 4 detector channels Supports gas proportional, air proportional or scintillation probes. Exceptional ease of use with integrated touch-screen 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments4
5
cHFM design incorporates three new Bladewerx-designed PC boards – SDB. A “simple detector board” – 4CHAN. 4-Channel counter board – PES. Photo electric sensor 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments5
6
Simple Detector Board Microprocessor-based detector board 100 – 2000 VDC high voltage supply (3000 VDC optional) 3 Thresholds (beta, alpha, & upper alpha (i.e. radon) ASCII command-based communications No internal adjustments 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments6
7
4-Channel Board Microprocessor-based counter board Supports digital count inputs from up to 4 SDBs SDB ‘pass-thru’ communications ASCII-based commands Support for hand/foot PES sensors and switch closure Selectable ‘clicker’ speaker drive 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments7
8
PES Infra-red (IR) proximity sensor Pulsed frequency output Low power 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments8
9
Four more building blocks Customer-driven development for a UAV sampler – In-Line head featuring dual detectors (alpha-beta, and gamma guard) – New 2-channel preamp board – 2-Channel amplifier/detector board – Redesigned SabreMCA with 2-Channel detector board interconnect fits SabreMCA extrusion 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments9

2012 HPICBladewerx Developments10
11
EpeéCAM™ SabreBZM™ is nearing end of life Electronic Personal (EP) CAM/BZM goals – Smaller and lighter than SabreBZM – More rugged and reliable – Support beta measurement – More ergonomic (multiple mounting/carrying options) – More suited to mass production 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments11
12
Features – Alpha/beta measurement – Radon mode option – With integrated ‘sans- plumbing’ head, or umbilical – Wireless capability or Ethernet – Voice Output – Variable speed 6 LPM high- reliability pump – Extremely simple user interface 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments12
13
Epee Board Set 2-board set includes: – 2-channel analog and audio output “A” board – microprocessor-based digital logic “B” board 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments13
14
“A” Board Alpha and beta channels, plus detector bias supply Peak-Hold ADC front end Anti-coincidence logic No internal controls. All settings are software- controlled. Audio amplifier 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments14
15
“B” Board Direct integration with SBC Board bus USB Host and Client ports LED and membrane keypad support Pump control and flow sensing On-board Ethernet support 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments15
16
Air Sampling Features Quiet, SKC High- Reliability Pump Up to 6 LPM sampling rate (variable rate is customer settable) ‘Hose-less’ sampling head Can be ordered with BZM umbilical, or integrated head for miners 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments16
17
Summary 8 new electronics boards 2 entirely new instruments 2 new sampling head designs NQA-1-based QA Program implemented Also… Produced 4 training videos Completed assorted other development work 2012 HPICBladewerx Developments17
