Founded in 2003 by Professor Cynthia Furse and Dr. Paul Smith, LiveWire Test Labs provides the world's most advanced products and services for characterizing and locating intermittent faults in live electrical wiring systems and other high noise environments. Drs. Furse and Smith have more than 20 years experience in developing technology to address the problems caused by intermittent electrical faults -
safety hazards and
high maintenance costs. Their pioneering efforts, begun at Utah State University and at the University of Utah, to apply Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry (SSTDR) to this problem have resulted in an exclusive technology license from the two universities and a number of patented enhancements by LiveWire. See our
Technology page for more details.
LiveWire's initial customers include the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, Boeing Corporation, Sandia National Labs, and NASA/JPL, all of whom are working with LiveWire to make SSTDR the world's most effective technology for the location and detection of intermittent faults in
live electrical wiring in aging aircraft.
