Proud of our heritage – focused on the future

USC Founders, Brent Sorensen and Paul Sorensen, 1994

Brent and Paul, “The Wright Brother of No Fault Found”, have been sharing the same consistent message about NFF remediation through IFD technology for decades. The USC team is proud to carry that same message forward and continue to support the warfighter and commercial partners in isolating and detecting intermittent faults.

Universal Synaptics has received this recognition several times as use of Intermittent Fault Detection technology continues to expand (2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017).
Mr. Tony Iseminger, Technical Director, utilizing IFD technology to detect & isolate intermittent faults on the F/A-18 Nose Landing Gear

At MCAS Miramar, Universal Synaptics participated in a Limited Purpose - Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (LP-CRADA) with the Navy to showcase the IFD’s rapid capability to adapt to previously procured Navy cable sets using a patch cable and the IFD’s patented AutoMap function (discovers the true as-wired configuration of connected component or harness automatically; no Test Program Set (TPS) development). Conventional continuity and shorts tests were completed with no open or shorted circuits; intermittence testing then detected and isolated faults in real-time through simultaneous and continuous monitoring of each circuit of the F/A-18 Nose Landing Gear Harness.

A-10 EWIS Testing Project at Hill AFB, Utah

Tony Iseminger, Technical Director, connects an A-10 DRA through existing USAF procured interface cables to the Intermittent Fault Detector (IFD) via an AWTS / PATS-70 patch cable. Several intermittent faults were detected and isolated in the AWTS / PATS-70 cables, as well as the Unit Under Test (UUT) that conventional ATE is incapable of detecting or isolating.
V-22 EWIS Testing Project at MCAS Cherry Point, NC

Tony Iseminger, Technical Director, connects Navy procured interface cables to the Intermittent Fault Detector (IFD) via an AWTS / PATS-70 patch cable. Intermittent faults were detected and isolated in 95% of test interfaces.
IFDIS Successes

IFDIS Successes

USAF provided data regarding Intermittent Fault Detection (IFD) success with the F-16 Modular Low Power Radio Frequency (MLPRF).
Backplane of an F-16 Programmable Signal Processor (PSP) has 8,448 test points. IFD technology restores the design reliability of assets of any test point count.
F-16 Radar System PSP

F-16 Programmable Signal Processor (PSP) chassis. LRU chassis are verified by building Interface Test Adaptors to connect to IFD technology leveraging an environmental chamber and shaker to simulate in-air events. Chassis are verified as intermittent free and then functionally tested to return to service.

IFD Pitot Probe Testing

Tony Iseminger, Technical Director, points to the Fault Isolation Graphic on the IFD which has identified an intermittent fault on a Pitot Probe. Pitot Probes are a well known issue in aviation. IFD technology is being leveraged to solve the intermittent fault issues that have been plaguing Pitot Probes for decades.
