About Us
ChannelScience started as the consulting practice of Chuck Sobey. It focused on signal processing for emerging data storage technologies, and clear useful training for data storage professionals. Since 1996, we have partnered with the best companies in the industry to “Establish the State‑of‑the‑Art” in memory, storage, and now chiplet technologies.
During the global pandemic, a need to rescue irreplaceable scientific data on legacy magnetic tapes was described by the US Department of Energy. Because new nuclear test data cannot legally be generated, there is extreme value in legacy nuclear test data for training machine learning models that can better detect rogue tests, or use, of nuclear weapons. ChannelScience has won 4 SBIR awards to develop and commercialize our patented AI-assisted multiformat tape reader for this purpose.
We are extending our data-reading capabilities beyond these types of tapes to start to address the approximately 250 different magnetic tape formats that have been in use from the 1960s to the 2010s.
