The following are just a FEW of Jim Riordan's inventions, several of which are patented. Please be sure to visit our "Our Projects and Success Stories" section where you will find more corporate solution inventions created for our clients and more details on some of the inventions listed below.
Sniper Position Acquisition Device (S.P.A.D.™)
Using a patent pending integration of seven state of the art technologies, this device provides near real time detection and acquisition of the position of single or multiple sniper locations, providing our snipers or mobile weapons systems with the ability to eliminate enemy sniper(s) with little or no collateral damage to property or innocent civilians. The S.P.A.D. system will prove to be an increasingly valuable tool in urban warfare, occupation or liberation operations. The S.P.A.D. system technology is currently being submitted for licensing.
The Sprinter™ Turbo Resonator Eliminator
At the request of a local DodgeT dealer, we engineered, developed, tested and marketed this device which replaces a
stock part on the 2.7 liter Mercedes BenzT turbo diesel engine that had been causing, in some cases, multiple failures
on the same Sprinter vans within only a few thousand miles of each other. When the turbo resonator fails, the vehicle
usually ends up being out of service and having to be towed to the nearest Dodge dealer for repair, interrupting vacations
for RVers and workdays for contractors and delivery services. Our Eliminator has been in service for thousands of trouble
free miles with no failures. Our company engineers, designs and manufactures "overnight" solutions such as this
for many different industries.

in Our Products Catalog
Exhaust manifold valve heat protectors Curtiss OX5 engines
Fits 1914-1918 Curtiss Jennys, Thomas Morse Scouts and other antique aircraft using the OX5 V8 engine designed by Glenn Curtiss. Prevents exhaust manifold heat from melting the grease on exposed valve rocker assemblies.
Lock-at-will upper arm prosthesis. A breakthrough device for upper limb amputees which allows a person to use an artificial arm with "natural" movements and without the need for a "harness" to raise or lower the prehensor (hook unit). This device was invented-to-order for the Rehabilitation Engineering Center at Stanford. This design solved a problem which the center had been struggling with for two years.
The Light Beer Mug™
Unique novelty item has a plastic snap-on base which holds two "AA" batteries and a light bulb. It lights up when you lift it up, and makes any beer a "Light" beer. Over two million dollars worth have been sold. They were sold through Spencer Gift stores and catalogs, Coach House gift stores, ARA airport gift shops and many other gift and catalog stores throughout the US. The mugs were included in promotional programs for Anheuser Busch Bud Light and Moosehead beer.
What a famous actress had to say:
"Mr. Riordan,
My friends and I are having a ball with your mugs at Princeton. You 'lite' up our lives. Thank you very much."
Love and kisses
Brooke Shields
Great Story from Jim Riordan: My wife and I were on a weekend ski trip in my heady days of snow ski racing.
Upon our
return, we had several messages on our answering machine. One of them said,
"Hi, this is Brooke Shields mother and Brooke got one of your mugs and is having a
problem with it, could you give me a call." We thought riiiiiiight, Brooke
Shield's mom, suuuuuure! We thought it was a prank by one of our friends and
never returned the call. Well, actually it really was her mom. She
called again the next weekend when we were again away skiing, and this time
she said, "Hello, this IS Brooke Shield's mom . . . REALLY!"
This time we called back, found out that Brooke had gotten one of our mugs as a
gift and the little pin actuating the light was missing (factory defect).
As is our standard policy of making sure our customers are always satisfied, I
sent her 4 mugs which were (ahem) personally inspected. About two weeks
later, we received the above photo with her thank you and autograph.
What a nice person to go out of her way for such a special thank you. (Jim Riordan)
The Solder Quik™
An attachment which fits on a standard pencil type soldering iron and allows a person to feed solder to the tip of the iron by simply turning a wheel with their index finger. This allows an operator to solder with only one hand, and speeds most soldering operations a minimum of 30%. This device is also being used to help handicapped workers master hand soldering techniques that were previously not possible for them. Solder Quick users include N.A.S.A., IBM, Hewlett Packard, Ford Aerospace, Harris Satellite Communications, and Beckman Instruments. This product was distributed nationally, then sold to a soldering equipment company.
What others say:
"This unit is a remarkable time saving product in most of our operations in the Avionics shop. For all simple wire repair jobs you can save nearly half the time it would take with the conventional soldering iron. Although there are jobs on printed circuit boards that are just too tight to use the Solder Quik, about 80% off all circuit board repair and assembly can be accomplished in at least half the time using the Solder Quik. Since there is no real production here at NASA, the time element of production schedules are not a factor, however, manpower certainly is. Most repair jobs involving soldering with a conventional iron would require two men but using the Solder Quik I can do the same job with only one man.
In conclusion, I am recommending that NASA purchase one Solder Quik for each person in my shop and one for the Instrument Shop."
Patrick Atchison, Avionics
NASA-Ames Research Center
"The innovative research and production activities you have undertaken on behalf
of the disabled are indeed rare. Your most recent inventions, the
"Solder Quik" and the "Hand Aid", will definitely be of great benefit to
handicapped persons who have opted to work in electronics related industries.
In addition, the application of your products into electronics production
and repair occupations will not only widen the employment prospects for the
handicapped, but will benefit prospective employers as well. Congratulations
on your success thus far and best wishes in the future. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if I can be of any further assistance."
Sincerely yours,
Norman Y. Mineta
Member of Congress
"Jim,
"In my 30 plus years in the Electronics field the Solder Quik is to me the best idea in all that time in my line of production 'Cable Harnesses'. Invariably while soldering leads into boards or connectors you need a third hand to hold the lead. This gives it to the solderer."
Vern Brink

Goodwill of Santa Clara
"Dear Jim:
This letter is to express to you our appreciation of a job well done in the design and the function of the Solder Quik. Since our installation, three months ago, we have found increased production and through-put in the touch-up and rework area. All of our touch-up and rework technicians have expressed considerable satisfaction of "the third hand" concept in assisting the delivery of solder and handling of the printed circuit boards and other solderable components. We would highly recommend to anyone requiring high through-put in this area to utilize this product, as it will positively affect the bottom line."
Sincerely

"Dear Jim:
We would like to thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness in donating the two Solder-Quik soldering setups and accessories to the electronic assembly training classroom. The Solder-Quik is an innovative and fascinating piece of equipment. We have enjoyed using it in the classroom and have received a great deal of interest and positive comments from the students who have tried it.
We feel there is tremendous potential for the Solder-Quik in the electronic industry, not only as an aid to someone with a disability but also as a time saving device for basic assembly soldering. We wish you luck and success with the Solder-Quik and appreciate being included in its debut. Thanks Again"
