`
`PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
`
`–Currently a Registered Professional Engineer (#79454) and recognized as an inventor on 31 US
`and a number of foreign patents, I am President of McAlexander Sound, Inc., and the Managing
`Director of McAlexander Sound Pte Ltd. I have focused my expertise to support a number of
`clients in product, process, and operations analysis and investigation. Forty-four years of
`experience in microcircuit and semiconductor technologies has developed my skills in areas of
`circuit design and analysis, device fabrication and assembly, testing, marketing, control system
`design and analysis, manufacturing operations and respective areas of quality, reliability, and
`defect / failure analysis. I am, among others, a Manager with QM Partners, LP, supporting clients
`in IP management, and the President and CEO of MDFHoldings, Inc., an IP holding company
`currently engaged in the field of GPS Tracking. I have:
`
`
`- designed Dynamic Random Access Memories (DRAMs), Static Random Access Memories
`(SRAMs), Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs), Shift Registers (SRs), and functional circuits
`including I/O buffers for address and data, decoders, clocks, sense amplifiers, fault tolerant,
`parallel-to-serial data paths for video applications, level shifters, converters, pumps, and logic,
`as well as wireless communication systems and MEMs applications;
`
` -
`
` managed operations including engineering, training, and quality assurance for device
`fabrication, assembly, test, analysis, and reliability assessment, as well as manufacturing
`control, each of which involved both volatile and non-volatile memory; testing, analysis, and
`control involving use of mechanical calibration and measuring equipment, including optical,
`scanning e-beam, IR, capacitive, and laser using phase contrast and Fast Fourier Transform
`(FFT) for High Aspect Ratio Inspection (HARI) applications; audio and video system design
`and installation;
`
` -
`
` taught courses in solid state device physics, integrated circuit design, integrated circuit
`fabrication, and statistical control;
`
` -
`
` provided expert services, investigating both process and design technologies of various
`devices (microprocessor and controller, memory, programmable logic, card, tag, module,
`mixed signal, custom, and other), systems (PC and peripheral, computer, control, laser
`measurement, switch, architecture, software, and other), and consumer products (medical,
`TV, telephone, VCR, facsimile, copier, lighting, game, and other);
`
` provided nuclear radiation hardness testing services for military and space clients; and
`
` managed the design and installation of audio sound systems for private and commercial
`enterprises.
`
`
`From 1986-1990, I was Executive Vice President of EPI Technologies, Inc., prior to joining the
`staff at Cochran Consulting, Inc. where I served as senior managing consultant from 1991-2002.
`From 1972 to 1986, I was employed by Texas Instruments Incorporated.

`
`OTHER MATTERS
`
`
`
`I have worked with other clients in various areas of my expertise, including “system, product, and
`process investigation,” “patent valuation,” “product liability and insurance claim investigation,”
`“quality systems consulting and engineering,” and “IP licensing.” This work generally relates to
`patents and may involve analysis of products either defensively or offensively. In no case does
`any of the work involve design of circuits, processes, packaging, software, or systems.
`
`Non-confidentially, I have represented a radiation effects testing company, ICS Radiation
`Technology. Further, I have worked with investment companies, such as Hatcreek Partners,
`reviewing potential investment opportunities, and have participated as a technical advisor to nLine
`Corporation, a company that developed a product for semiconductor wafer inspection using
`holographic High Aspect Ratio Inspection (HARI) technology. Work associated with each of
`these matters occurred more than 10 years ago.
`
` These and other non-confidentially related companies are:
