Jason Kim, Fellow

Architecture:

CEO:

Jason Kim has over 25 years of Systems Architecture research and development experience specialized in low power portable electronics.

He currently owns a Lucid Innovations consulting company which helps to research and develop advanced systems architecture for emerging consumer electronic products, such as HDTV and high speed Network devices.

His hall of fame is that he had developed a symmetric multiprocessor SOC architecture that became the success of Apple iPOD and many other MP3 products while working at PortalPlayer (acquired by nVidia). 

His another hall of fame is that he had developed 12+ hours of battery life Pentium-class notebook computer by utilizing Heuristic Power Management technology while working at Acer Advanced Lab.  

While at AST Research, he had developed fuzzy-logic subsystems controller ASIC that managed the power and user interface of notebook and desktop PC that became the de facto standard for today’s Advanced Configuration and Power Management Controllers.

Jason received his honorary title of Fellow in 2001 from PortalPlayer and MSEE from USC in 1988 and BSEE/CS from UCLA in 1983. (more…)

Paul Beckmann, PhD

DSP Algorithm:

CTO:

Dr. Paul Beckmann has over 20 years of digital signal processing algorithm research and development experience in audio applications.

He currently owns a DSP Concept consulting company which helps to research and develop advanced audio signal processing algorithms for international corporations and academic research communities utilizing Analog Devices Sharc and Blackfin processors.

His hall of fame is that he had developed many of Bose's state of art audio algorithms that became the run-away success for Bose Home Theater Systems. He had since been instructing and consulting many of the industry veterans and academic research scientists on various advanced signal processing techniques.

Paul received his PhD from MIT in 1992 with perfect GPA score of 5.0/5.0 from both his graduate and undergraduate programs. (more...)

Ook Kim, PhD

Analog Circuits:

COO:

Dr. Ook Kim has over 20 years of analog signal processing circuitry research and development experience specialized in audio, video, wireless communications.

Ook joins us from leading advanced analog core research and development group at Silicon Image where he had developed HDMI circuitries that became the success of HDTV connectivity.

His hall of fame is that while at Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute and SK Telecom in Korea, he had lead and developed 2G/3G wireless CDMA communication analog baseband technologies that was later licensed to Samsung and LG cell phones and became the highly acclaimed success story for the government sponsored Korean cell phone industry.

Ook received his PhD in 1994 from Seoul National University and came to
US in 1999 as a visiting scholar professor of Stanford University.

Architecture:

Design,

Develop,

Renovate,

Our corporate vision is to design and develop electronic systems architecture to improve and renovate silicon complements for mankind.

By focusing our efforts on improving the underlying architecture of a product, people will enjoy and appreciate the reliabilities of a product and the companies that provided them these good things.

People:

Observe,

Understand,

Empower,

To develop products that will complement mankind is to observe and understand people’s strength and weakness.

By complementing people’s need, your products will empower them to enjoy doing things better, faster, stronger, and easier.

Technology:

Research,

Analyze,

Cultivate,

To develop products that will complement mankind is to research and analyze breadth of multi-disciplinary technologies.

By cultivating these technologies, we will be able to refine them for the well being of people and beneficial to our society.
