Prior to that he was supervisor of the Electronic Validation Testing Lab and EMC Development for ITT Industries in Dayton, OH. He has three patents, two related to EMC suppression of Automotive DC motors.His hobbies include amateur radio (N8ZM), fast cars, and grandson EJ.

Kimball Williams Bio:

Kimball Williams is a Senior Manager with Denso Americas in Southfield, Michigan, USA. He holds a BSEE degree from Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan. His professional experience includes the following: Principal EMC Engineer, at Eaton Corporation for 26 years, Member of the IEEE EMC Society Board of Directors and current President Member of the IEEE EMC Society Standards Committee, Secretary of the South Eastern Michigan Chapter of the IEEE EMC-S National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers (NARTE) certified EMC & ESD engineer and a member of the Board for NARTE, Member of the SAE EMI and EMR Technical Committees, Member of the US Technical Advisory Groups to CISPR/D and ISO/TC22, He holds one patent in the field of electro-technology, He is also an amateur radio operator (N8FNC), scuba diver and private pilot.

Bill Gilmore's Bio

Bill Gilmore, Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineer in Core EMC, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Powertrain & Chassis Component EMC for DaimlerChrysler has over thirty years of electronic product design and development experience, including automotive, numerical control machine tool, radio communications, instrumentation, military, industrial and commercial electronics. Bill majored in Physics and Mathematics at the University of Detroit. Bill Gilmore brings to our Ask the EMC Expert panel over fifteen years experience in Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), as an expert in root cause analysis and remediation of issues. He is the principal author of the DaimlerChrysler grounding Design Standard. Bill is the co-developer of a method for measuring the interference of vehicle electrical systems to AM radio and simultaneously evaluating multiple remediation methods objectively. He authored DaimlerChrysler's Radio Communications Equipment Installation Recommendations, for Amateur and commercial two-way communication equipment, a current Service Bulletin for all vehicle lines.

Bill Gilmore is the co-author of the Institute of 1999 Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) paper on automotive EMC. Bill Gilmore was the originator and project leader for DaimlerChrysler Challenge Grant to Electrosciences Department, Ohio State University to study grounding and noise current flow in automotive electrical systems, which led to the aforementioned paper and the grounding design standard US and foreign patents on electronic devices, notably the dual use of a single sensor element currently in use in TMAP and other sensors. Bill is a member of SAE Single Edge Nibble Transmission protocol task force (J-2716), which will provide greatly improved EMC performance for sensors in the automotive electrical environment, as well as potential cost reduction. He is a member of SAE Electrostatic Discharge in Fuel Systems Subcommittee of Fuels and Lubricants Committee (J-1645).

Bill Gilmore is active in Amateur Radio, he has over thirty years of Amateur Radio experience (station operation, equipment construction): with an Amateur Extra Class license. Bill is the principal organizer and participant for six years of an annual exhibit at Hamvention (the de facto Amateur Radio International convention in Dayton, OH, with over twenty-five thousand attendees) involving DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation. Bill is the vice chairman for Professional Activities and continuing Education for Southeastern Michigan Section of IEEE EMC Society. Bill is a former member and secretary of SAE Bus communications Working Group (J-1850) as well as a former member of several DaimlerChrysler EMC committees, including independent laboratory evaluation, corporate EMC specifications, and technical operations.
