HISTORY:
Chase Scientific Company was originally founded as a consulting firm in 1987 which specialized in the design of magnetic (i.e. disk drive) and magneto-optical communication channels, servo systems, and HF mixed signal IC's. By 1995 Chase decided to refocus exclusively towards designing and marketing products for niche OEM Embedded Instrument markets.
TODAY:
Chase Scientific is primarily a R&D company today but also offers custom OEM solutions as well as some commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) generator/digitizer solutions for a variety of applications from 10 MSPS to 4.0 GSPS in PCI, PCIe, USB, PC/104, and PC/104-Plus. See Product Matrix section for details.
FUTURE:
While Chase Scientific plans to support, improve, and expand its card products, it will also be offering a completely new paradigm for Embedded Instruments and other products to be sold under various "spin-offs" below using technology from Chase's R&D division.
R&D:
In addition to Embedded Instrumentation Chase Scientific has allocated a substantial portion of its profits during the past few years towards research and development in areas such as personal/industrial security, office automation, AI, and mobile/stationary robotics. Commercial products in these areas will start becoming available in Q4 2011(see spin-off companies below). The primary thrust of this effort is to offer fully interchangeable, fully documented non-proprietary computers, peripherals, robotics, and development tools that anyone can use.
Spin-Offs (with first product releases starting Q4 2011 through 2013:
WavePond.com: Primary focus is on USB controlled Embedded Instruments including Arbitrary Waveform Generators, Digitizers, and Synthesizers up to 8.0 GS/sec. All new products can be upgraded by the user through the computers themselves - no need to ship back to factory for new features/fixes. These products will also have retail pricing available on-line and can be purchased directly off the web site.
ChaseMinder.com: Primary focus is on Office Automation, Security Systems, Automated Greenhouses, and Robotic Grounds Maintenance.
MemesGate.com: Artificial Brain. First products to include semi-autonomous theoretical analysis and engineering design of mechanical and electrical systems. The core "information processors" will also be incorporated into products made by ChaseMinder.
