`Growth of the company was based on profits alone. Research was carried out on supporting
`technologies for high-speed motor-generators for use in premium power supply applications. Dr.
`Wood gained a wide-ranging US Patent in this area. He also gained a US Patent on a feedback
`control circuit for use with industry-standard converter modules.
`
`Data General Corporation, Westborough, Massachusetts
`
`
`Senior Engineer 1981 to December 1986. Dr. Wood served in both management and technology-

`with hourly records of electricity demand for the utility grid, as a data base for a computer-based
`assessment of correlation between supply and demand. Visited wind power hardware manufacturers
`in the US, Canada, Britain, Switzerland, and Holland.
`
`Assisted with the design, construction, and testing of a 30 kW Darrieus wind turbine.
