Optimum Wisdom Laboratories
Following 31 years developing processor based instrumentation and products in both academia and industry, Dr. Petty founded Optimum Wisdom Laboratories, initially to develop an Adaptive Power Control System for a National Science Foundation (NSF) proposal focused on Solid Oxide Fuel Cell systems. When small, low cost SOFCs failed to become commercially available, Optimum Wisdom Laboratories broadened the focus of the Adaptive Power Controller to include commercially available AC and DC mechanical generators.
Optimum Wisdom Laboratories, LLC evolved to a research, development, and consulting company where Dr. Petty, as the Chief Scientist and sole developer, offers clients expertise in:

Dr. Petty, an inventor, scientist, and engineer, brings over 40 years of experience in both academia and industry to developing new and innovative devices and products. His experience ranges from fundamental research in electrochemical analysis and laser systems to the development of the first computer controlled electrochemical instrument, 3 commercial analytical instruments, the first microprocessor controlled, self-calibrating tunable dye laser system, the first smartphone, 5 computer graphics devices and systems, 12 commercial communications systems, a system to inexpensively deliver caller ID services, and an acoustic gyroscope used in camcorders and digital cameras for image stabilization.
Dr. Petty earned over 100 US and foreign patents for: lasers, computer telephony, wireless architectures, phase-lock loops, direct-digital-frequency synthesis, fractional-frequency-multiplication and multi-tone generation, graphics hardware, speakerphones, digital signal processing, Personal Communication System (PCS) architectures, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) architectures, an invisible agent, synchronization, traffic shaping, and electronic circuit and architecture patents. Dr. Petty pioneered processor based analytical instrumentation. While earning a Ph.D. degree in Analytical-Physical Chemistry and Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University, Dr. Petty developed one of the first minicomputer controlled electrochemical instruments, a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-11 minicomputer he interfaced to electrochemical instrumentation he designed. He later used this instrumentation for his dissertation while inventing a new analytical method: Real-time Computer Optimized Scanning Potential Coulometry for Multi-Component Trace Analysis. Sigma Xi recognized the significance of this work by awarding this dissertation the Sigma Xi Certificate of Merit for the outstanding Ph.D. dissertation in the college of Physical and Mathematical Sciences for 1977-1978. Dr. Petty continued his pioneering spirit for innovation at Princeton Applied Research, AT&T Bell Telephone Laboratories, and Optimum Wisdom Laboratories. At EG&G Princeton Applied Research as a Software and Senior Engineer, and the Spectroscopy Research and Development Group Leader, Dr Petty:
At AT&T Bell Laboratories / Lucent Technologies / Avaya as a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff, Dr. Petty:
