EXPERIENCE

 Technology Expert for Patent Infringement,                                    September 2001 – Present  
 Title: Technology Expert for Patent Infringement 
Providing world-class expertise and experience in working with leading law firms, providing expert witness services, prior art searching, and related consulting for patent infringement, trade secret disputes, and related matters. Among areas of expertise are speech and audio processing, signal compression, DSP, telecommunications, algorithms, software, and implementation. Served as expert witness & consulted Woodcock Washburn on behalf of Microsoft in VoIP & voice compression patent infringement dispute filed by AT&T. Served also as expert witness on behalf of TruePsition Inc. (represented by Woodcock Washburn) against Andrew Corp. on U-TDOA based cellular telephone location patent infringement case. Jury found that Andrew Corp. (represented by Kirkland & Ellis John Desmarais' team) has willfully infringed TruePosition's patent, granted TruePosition full damages, and rejected Andrew's "fraud" counter claim.

 Compandent, Inc., Santa Barbara CA,                                            February 2001 – Present  
 Title: President & CTO 
Starting and running a company for DSP and speech coding and R&D and implementation, and licensing of software and intellectual property. Developped many proprietary algorithms and solutions, serving clients all over the world. R&D projects implementations and contributions to the US DoD & NATO MELPe secure voice standard.

 DSP Communications, Israel ,                                                     January 1994 - September 1995 
 Title: Speech Coding Group Leader 
Researching and developing a proprietary multi-rate speech coder at 4-8 kbps. The project included C simulations for floating-point and fixed-point arithmetic as well as Vector-Quantizer (VQ) design for each rate and research of various LSP quantizers. Leading the development and implementation of PDC's PSI-CELP and VSELP standards on the company's chipset (masked on TI's TMS320c54x). Developing a noise-canceller for digital-cellular phone. The PDC chipset has become the flag ship of the company. Oded's contribution was the key in turning DSP Communications, from a poor company in 1994, into a very successful one, leading to a $1.6 billion acquisition by Intel.

 Company's Co-Advisor for Technion IIT's students project. 
Co-advising Prof. David Malah's students at the Technion, Israel, who were engaged in a project of implementing the CELP+ algorithm, sponsored by Optibase. 

 AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill ,                                                              January - September 1992 
 Title: DSP Consultant 
Writing the M.Sc.'s degree thesis in the Signal Processing Research Department in the area of LD-CELP wideband speech coding at 32 kbps. The project included research, design, development and implementation of the coder on AT&T SURFboard using two AT&T WE DSP32C DSPs in parallel processing manner. 

 Vibration Specialty Corporation: Philadelphia, PA ,                         January 1991 - August 1995 
 Title: DSP Consultant 
Development and implementation of the real-time DSP software for the SpectraViB, a 4-channel spectrum analyzer and data collector.

 Efrat - Comverse Technology, Israel,;                                          October 1989 - September 1990
 Title: DSP Engineer of Trilogue voice mail system. 
Comverse's Trilogue message management systems have DSP boards that interface between the upper level software and the telephony boards. The real time DSP software includes various DSP algorithms, as well as the control for the telephony board, and a speech recognition module. 
 Function : Designed and implemented Digital Signal Processing algorithms using the Texas-Instruments TMS320c25 and the NEC µPD77p25 processors. The DSP software included speech coding, tones detections in presence of voice and noise, tones generation, ring detection, FAX communications, etc. The software handled several channels simultaneously. 
 Managed the hardware - software integration cooperating with the hardware engineers and the upper software's programmers.  
 Developed IBM PC software using C, PASCAL and Assembly. All algorithms were developed simulated and optimized using original IBM PC software. Also, wrote design and analysis utilities for the service staff.  
 Analysis and synthesis using professional DSP and mathematical software such as Xwaves+, MatLab, Hyper Signal, ILS, and DFDP. 

 Optisk Laboratorium: Copenhagen, Denmark ,                                          July - September 1988
 Title: Summer Associate 
Optisk Laboratorium manufactures optical filters. This process is done using big and noisy evaporation chamber. It is operated using a highly noisy output curve, which reflects the optical filter's layers. In order to control this process automatically, Oded built some hardware and wrote software for filtering and predicting the curve. The estimated curve was used for switching the control of the evaporation process.
