Creare develops technology for a wide range of sensor, instrumentation, and control applications for clients in the aerospace, biomedical, military, and energy communities. Much of this work, which is based on innovative and multi-disciplinary approaches, lies at the frontier between the physical world of motion, flow, temperature, and chemistry and the electronic world of signal processing and computers.

Creare engineers combine a sound understanding of the fundamentals of physics with experience and skills in state-of-the-art control algorithms, data acquisition, real-time signal processing, computer and digital signal processing hardware, software development, materials, and fabrication processes. At the same time, we focus on practical and cost-effective solutions to the most challenging measurement, control, and instrumentation requirements. The following examples illustrate our depth and diversity:

• Low cost, wireless physical activity monitor for quantifying and evaluating human movement for patients with certain medical conditions
• Wireless sensor networks based on both IEEE 802.11 and 802.15 standards
• Micromachined bone conduction transducers
• Control algorithms and software for immersive environments
• Feedforward active noise reduction for communication and hearing assessment headsets
• Next generation catapult slot width measuring system for US Navy aircraft carriers.
