About Janzen Research
Janzen Research is the scientific and industrial arm to develop the research and inventions of Ryan Janzen and associates.
Collaborations with universities in USA, Canada, Europe, Asia, as well as
industries in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, construction, and tech sectors,
have led to several products.
Starting in 1988 with electronics products, in 1996 with home automation, 1998 with AI, now the research
has impacted several sectors and applications.

 |
Extreme images, video, and audio
for welding, satellite images, geology/mining, and audio,
sensed using a dynamic-dynamic-range system.
D2R technology unlocks the power of tiny signals buried inside extremely strong signals.
This is perfect for underwater sensors, geology/mining vibration sensors,
infrastructure vibration sensors,
satellite signals, and other remote monitoring sensors.
These sensors can be connected to this dynamic-dynamic-range system (D2R) for real-time analysis.

|
Artificial Intelligence system for aircraft, trains, marine transportation,
to extract patterns from vibrations and sound waves.
This system is designed for intelligent control of vehicles, and intelligent maintenance and repair scheduling.
IntelliSense AI is a system for real-time structural health monitoring. Miniaturized, distributed AI modules can be installed in a structure -- large critical infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, as well as onboard vehicles such as trains, aircraft, and trucks. AI analyzes performance and vibrations, and the results are stored and transmitted for 24/7 central monitoring.
