Dear Professor Varner,

I am pleased to meet you at SNU too.
 
Anyway here are my answers :

 

> Could you please remind me which software tools you have access to?
   I use ORcad software(version 9) for PCB board and Xilinx
foundation for FPGA design.

 

> Do you have any familiarity with 9U VME cards?
   I have made a few kinds of 9U VME boards for KEK.
   Among them, shaper and digitize boards and some trigger boards for
BELLE ECL group.
   In shaper board, VME communication is not used,
   and we use standard A32/D32 communication in all kinds of trigger
boards thus far.
   If you want an extended 64bit VME interface, I need some time for
studying it.
   Otherwise, It's okay to make 9U VME boards.

 

> What type of cost/payment structure do you usually arrange for a
given project?
   In KEK situation, Toyota company(a trading company in Japan) does
importing jobs.
   The order is given to Toyota company first by KEK and then they
give order to me.
   I send products to them and they deliver the products to KEK.
   Payment scheme goes in reverse direction, and as far as I know
they charge about 10% commission.
   And the cost for prototype board is $10,000 / 1EA, $15,000 / 2EA
or $20,000 / 3~4EA.... usually.
   but it rather depends on work's difficulty and total price of
parts used.

   Absolutely I am interested in producing electronics for high
energy and nuclear physics,
   Unfortunately I have to stick to other projects for about 3
months(due to their delivery schedule).
   In summer I think I can find time for a new project.

 

Thank you very much for your information.

 

                                                        Regards,
                                                        Sangyeol

      Dear Sangyeol,

      It was a pleasure to meet you at SNU.

      Now I am finally back in Hawaii (though leave tomorrow
      morning for
      SLAC...), and clearing off my desk: an important item of
      which is to
      follow-up with you.

      As I mentioned, we have a huge backlog of design/layout
      for various
      projects in the Instrumentation Development Laboratory:

      http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~idlab/taskAndSchedule/IDL_taskAndSchedule.html

      and might be interested in working with your company to
      help clear some of
      this backlog.

      Could you please remind me which software tools you have
      access to?

      Do you have any familiarity with 9U VME cards?

      What type of cost/payment structure do you usually
      arrange for a given
      project?

      As a test case, we are thinking to turn the Motherboard,
      depicted in

      http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~idlab/taskAndSchedule/KLM/KLMreadout.pdf

      into a 9U VME card.

      As you might guess, the hardest issue is how to treat the
      many ribbon
      cable connectors.

      For more information about the project:

      http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~idlab/taskAndSchedule/KLM/KLM_readout.html

      In this case, it may be possible that KEK will pay
      directly, once we've
      specified the work to be done. This needs further
      discussion, though
      before doing so, I would appreciate hearing your interest
      and a sense of
      how busy you are with other projects now, and on the
      timescale of the next
      3-6 months.

      Thanks,
      Gary
