Dear Sirs:

I have been doing digital video circuit design of boards and prototype
demonstration digital video systems at Bell Labs, Philips Labs, and
Sarnoff Labs.  I have eleven patents in the television area.  
I am interested in joining your group to do television digital circuits
and systems design and implementation.  Below is my resume and a list of 
my patents.

Sincerely,
Robert Casey

Objective:

Research and development of signal processing systems and methods in a research
and development environment that promotes invention and innovation.

Experience:

AT&T Bell Laboratories, (1991-NOW)
Member Techinal Staff
Responsible for digital circuit design and hardware support of the 
AT&T/Zenith ghost cancellation system.  Designed the hardware ghost reference
signal detector (finds the reference signal in one field, and generates a 
timing signal to accurately capture the next field's ghost reference signal).
Interfaced this detector into the AT&T/Zenith system hardware.  Did various
circuit modifications of analog and digital circuits of this hardware to 
improve performance.  Participated in several off-site field tests with the
National Association of Broadcasters, Cablelabs, and the Canadian 
Communications Research Center, of the above system.  Made sure that the
system is in good working shape.  System competed with systems from other
companies in these tests.  Purpose of tests is to select a broadcast standard
for a tevevision ghost cancellation reference signal.  

Logic design of various subsystems of the digitally compressed NTSC encoder
and decoder system chip sets and prototype boards.  

Philips Laboratories, Briarcliff Manor, NY  (1987-1991)
Associate Member Research Staff 
Responsible for digital circuit and system design for the pan and scan portion 
of the Philips NTSC compatible high definition television system.  Also designed
digital horizontal and vertical image peaking and coring systems for this 
system, and video noise generators for testing the above system.  Developed 
video data interface between PC/AT computer and digital video ghost reduction 
system.  Used Mentor graphics tools to design and simulate all the above 
digital circuit board designs.  Used TTL, ECL, CMOS chips and PALs.

RCA Laboratories, Princeton, NJ  (1981-1987)
Associate Member Technical Staff
Responsible for analog and digital circuit and system design, including digital
signal processing of NTSC television color and luma separation and interlace 
scan to progressive scan signal conversion to create enhanced TV signal 
display.  Developed television noise reduction techniques, motion/noise 
detection.  Designed test generators for TV frame comb systems and teletext 
bit error rate measurements.  Developed digital CRT convergence systems and 
color/luma alias products detector and remover systems.  Developed digital 
hysteresis loops.  Used and wrote VAX computer software for video system 
simulation.
. RCA Outstanding Achievement Award, 1984
. Eleven patents issued
. Developed live picture-in-picture display systems

Singer Link, Binghamton, NY (1979-1981)
Video system engineer
Performed analog and digital circuit design for high resolution color display 
systems.  Designed video mixers, amplifiers, computer interfaces

Education:

BSEE, Syracuse University, 1978.  Deans list.
Major courses: Analog and Digital Circuits, Communication Systems, Computer 
Design and Programming, Electromechanical Devices, Semiconductor Devices.
Intern Engineer, New York
