Now generally known as SPEC Inc, the firm is primarily focused to innovative sensor systems, instrumentation, high speed microelectronics, and information systems technologies. With satellite offices in OFallon, IL, Annapolis, MD, and Munich, Germany, SPEC does work which ranges from specialized chemical, biological and physical sensor systems to next generation field emission microelectronics devices, high speed application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), high performance instrumentation systems, and global data communications/asset tracking systems. Often working in close collaboration with other firms and organizations, SPEC recently spun off a new firm (EDI) to exploit specific market opportunities with venture funding. EDI produces a chip-based cold cathode as the electron source for CRTs - superior in reliability and performance.
