Power Systems
- QorTek leads the power electronics field in design and
capability of high performance capacitive (piezoelectric,
electrostrictive) drive electronics.
QorTek can support advanced engineering
efforts with our technology leading digital, analog and
hybrid power & control solutions for peizomechinical and
micromechanical systems. For nearly every piezoelectric
device application low output noise is essential. Even small
(voltage ripple) changes of the control voltage will cause
perturbation from intended motion or position. Only QorTek
can offer superb performance in extremely low noise ultracompact
units. QorTek invented and holds multiple patents on the
concepts of regenerative (energy recovery) power architectures
for driving piezoelectric or electrostrictive devices. For
dynamic high-power applications, our energy-recovery power
amplifiers provide up to 15kVA single or 30kVA tandem peak
power. These are available in a range from benchtop supplies
that incorporate function generators to miniaturized ultracompact
units that are comparable in size to the piezoelectric device
or actuator.

Defense & Space Systems
- QorTek is at the forefront of developing integrated sensor,
actuator, control and electronics systems for a wide variety
of military and NASA customers. These include advances in
flow monitoring/control, ultra-high precision active/adaptive
optics, ultralight sensor measurement systems and signal/acquisition
processing, cutomized mechatronic systems for isolation/positioning/pointing.

Digital, Micro and
Nano Systems - To enhance QorTek's advanced Power,
Medical and Security research, QorTek designs in house advanced
digital controllers and algorithms. QorTek houses a whole
suite of TI DSP and Microcontroller development boards,
programming tools and software, including LabVIEW®, LabWindows/CVI™,
MATLAB® and SPICE tools. Combining our digital microcontroller
systems with micro/nano-level tools and devices, micro-UAVs,
micro/nano factories, micro-sensing and fully solid-state
micro-power conversion/conditioning and control enables
us to develop state of the art systems.
