Rainer J. Gallitzendörfer works as an independent developer in the
following fields:
Application software development for the following operating systems:
- Microsoft Windows (tm), all versions
- Linux, all versions
- Some DSP Realtime operating systems, including own OS developments
System level driver software development for the above operating systems, including:
- Audio Devices (standard / custom versions)
- Video Devices (standard board-level (i.e. chipset-specific) /
custom versions, e.g. hardware codecs including compression)
- DSPs and peripherals for Realtime operating systems, including own
OS developments (details on request)
- PC platform chipset level drivers for peripherals, e.g. printer
devices, human interface devices, graphics devices, custom devices based on the USB port or older interface standards
Mathematical algorithmic level software development for the above operating systems, including:
- Digital audio tone generation and synthesis (owner of international patents)
- Digital audio effects
- Dynamic image object recognition (video data streams and static images), for security, insurance and entertainment applications
- Graphic design and multi-dimensional image processing (have a look at this web site opener logo, for an example)
- Image processing in general (industry precision manufacturing / military applications)
- Abstract mathematical solutions, like new domain transforms and filter algorithms, in most cases with the purpose to reduce the required
processing power compared to existing solutions and / or the latency within real time applications
System level hardware development for the following platforms:
- x86 PC platform including chipset integration, and embedded
computers
- PowerPC(tm) platform including chipset integration, especially smaller embedded computers at SOC (System-on-a-Chip) level
- Completely custom-level hi-end systems without general standards, e.g. processing systems at the Gigahertz clock level with 500 MHz clock
DDR3-SDRAM devices
- Peripheral boards of all kinds, including PCI Bus and PCI Express Bus boards with high speed bus master DMA capability
- High precision analog sensor interfaces, battery powered, for medicine applications
- Wireless battery-powered data transmission interfaces,
with standard or low latency-custom-protocols
- Low end hardware developments, e.g. robust microcontroller-based
custom designs for industry automation
Chip level hardware development for the following technologies:
- Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design, partially with later transfer to Mask fabricated Gate Arrays, from simple glue logic
to self-developed specialized or general-purpose hi-end processing units (like the own "G8000"-processing system)
- Bus Interface Chips for PCI, PCIe (up to 2.5 Gbits/second per Lane, according existing standards)
Website design, especially without the, in most cases, overbloated standard tools libraries, including the following techniques:
- Strictly modular design of all website elements like headers, footers, with server-side module inclusion techniques, in most cases
based on using the PHP language during the server-side assembly phase of a web page requested by the client browser
- Graphic design of all website elements with standard software and high-efficient self-developed tools
- Server-side programming techniques including full server-side graphic rendering of website objects (-this has been done for this
website-), based on full PHP programming (Versions 4, 5), without isolating and sometimes not error-free user-level libraries, with tight and nested
interaction to the client side based on JavaScript, and conventional HTML
- Asymmetric encryption of server-side code provides intellectual
property saving without the need of client-side decryption (-this has been done for this website-)
- The server-side programming, of course, includes the complete off-line development with a virtual server installed on the local
development PC (Gallitzendörfer currently uses the "Apache" web server, version 2.2.6; but note, this is not the server version of
the provider where this website is hosted. This led to some additional experience about the differences between various server software versions.)
- All features of dynamic HTML design, including the display of temporary enabled page elements on request by mouse clicks at arbitrary
selectable fields within the page (this allows the design of menus, property sheets, for example).
Last but not least:
- Language translations, in most cases of the own international
patents from the German to the English language (and American English language - there are differences !). This is not as simple as it may seem
because besides the usually complex technical subject, the formal conventions of the various patent institutions have to be observed
which requires a special sense for language differences. Rainer J. Gallitzendörfer is a German native speaker - you may build up your
own opinion about the quality of the language style used here on the web site.
This impressive list of skills, which Gallitzendörfer usually sends
as a large "projects&skills profile" to seriously interested business partners, (-mostly in the form of excerpts-) certainly
could not be accumulated within some few years. Gallitzendörfer is an experienced developer who augmented his skills step-by-step over many years.
The intention behind this was to be able to develop products within the audio
field, especially electronic musical instruments, completely by himself, without the need of other specialists. This has nothing to do with a possible
lack of ability to act as a "team-player" ! There are many custom-projects with could not have been realized without many people involved and interacting,
especially at larger companies.
But: Every heavily involved creative person of any kind will immediately understand what great situation arises
from this fact: It is like paradise to realize any idea within such a complex field like the modern electronics technology of today - only powered by the own
brains capacity ! This is the chance of "modelling" products like artists creating their artworks.
Every coin has its two sides, however: The other side here is the incapability of understanding by some subjects with less phantasy (e.g. you may read this
article), which can be get over; the rigid tax policy, - only few countries having the same degree
like Germany -, which primarily acts as an "innovation prevention policy" for small companies; the growing migration drift of high tech companies
which could have been potential customers for developers like Gallitzendörfer: Only within the first quarter of 2008, the following
companies have announced to reduce their employees in Germany by some thousands during this year, while building up employment capacities within
other countries at the same time: NOKIA (will completely close their manufactory in Germany), SIEMENS, TELEKOM, BMW, OPEL, and others...
