The TransLumen Technologies LLC story starts in 2000. The company has two major divisions. The Fluid Stills Division is named after TransLumen’s core product for visual media, art and advertising that can be used in market channels such as:
The MAVRIC Division delivers products and services for markets, such as:
Subthreshold Extreme Gradual Change (STEGC) is an unobtrusive form of visual data delivery. This provides an image display that can allow display-to-display images without introducing distraction. The transition images are displayed in sequence over a sufficiently long period of time, so that a human observer cannot perceive a change in display from one image to a succeeding different image, yet over time, the display transitions from the first image to the second image. Used in perceptual training STEGC can be used to both test and train observational skills. STEGC provides the following key benefits:
TransLumen decided to patent the technology (U.S. Patents #6,433,839 and #6,580,466) and identify the proper market channels and applications in which STEGC would be the foundation for visual display technology that could be adapted for use as software, firmware and content. The next step was determining how to approach the various market channels that STEGC solutions and products could be used in. Over time, that led to TransLumen being divided into two distinct operating units, the MAVRIC and Fluid Stills Divisions.
Those products can be used in the following market channels:
|
TransLumen creates proprietary and patented visual display technology based on company owned U.S. Patents #6,433,839 and #6,580,466. TransLumen Technologies, LLC is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Chicago, IL and founded in 2000.

TransLumen's patented imaging technology will facilitate visualization and performance capabilities in diverse digital environments. The technology is a user centric, scalable, cross-platform, collaborative trending and alerting tool for current and future computing environments. TransLumen’s technology takes a stream of high density/high bandwidth data and channels it into an easily comprehensible visualization of constantly evolving information; mitigating or eliminating the risk of critical data going unnoticed due to radical swings in volume. TransLumen’s technology can also be applied to graphic images used in perceptual training in temporal observation situations and in anomaly detection. |

Doug Siefken - Founder and Chief Technology Officer
Doug Siefken is TransLumen’s founder and Chief Technology Officer. He invented TransLumen’s patented core technology and is globally regarded as a pioneer in the integration of new media into traditional technology applications. He has 35 years of experience in project management, conceptual design, system design, prototype development, system verification and validation, imaging, software development, and programming. Career highlights include:
Siefken has participated in think tank environments both for the Boeing Phantom Work’s Autonomous Systems Create Venture and DARPA’s “Cognitive Performance: Force Multiplication through Human-in-the-loop Augmentation”. He is also a noted subject matter expert and author and has authored and/or contributed to the following:
Doug Siefken is considered a pioneer in the convergence of technology and visual media and is a true new media guru. He has spent the past 35 years of his career in various types of technology project management, conceptual design, system design, prototype development, and programming centralizing on the Human Machine Interface. In 2000, Siefken had the idea that would lead to TransLumen. He developed an algorithm that became the basis of the company’s core technology - Subthreshold Extreme Gradual Change (STEGC). Doug Siefken has 35 years experience advancing next generation imaging and software development. Doug began his career as a combat/aerial photographer for the US Navy during the Vietnam War, managing naval photographic labs. He studied high speed and slow motion photography and cinematography establishing the roots of his imaging patents. Since the Navy, he has provided digital imaging consulting services for Kodak and Adobe, and helped launch a microcomputer for Litton. He developed one of the first multi-media cross-platform digital portfolios and as President of Cyber City Tours, was a cutting-edge media publishing and content provider for Unicom, Cahners Publishing and others. Carol Sherman - President
She has more than 28 years of experience in restructuring and growing domestic and international companies. Her career highlights include:
Ms. Sherman received a BS in Biological Sciences, a B.A. in Political Science and a MBA from Michigan State University. She is also a member of the Board of Directors of Financial Executives International and the National Veterans Art Museum. Craig Dean - Director of Research & Development
Mr. Dean has 15 years working in project management, commercialization, technology transfer, and documentation with the Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle), Argonne National Laboratory and Southern Polytechnic State University, as well as ten years in the U.S. Army with Ground Surveillance Systems. While with Battelle, Mr. Dean assisted over 1,000 organizations with project management and technology transfer into the federal government. Of those organizations seeking technology insertion, 70 percent were from DoD agencies, and 48 percent were from the Navy. As a part of a contract with the Office of Naval Research (Contract Number: N00014-01-1-0175), he led an extensive market research project to identify current U.S. based companies, universities and non-profit organizations working in software development, autonomy and network-centric related fields of interest to the DoD. He also provided technology transfer seminars for two consecutive years at the Naval-Industry R&D conference. Prior to Battelle, Mr. Dean assisted hundreds of visiting scientists in the conduct, documentation and material support of research at the Advanced Photon Source of Argonne National Laboratory. He worked with corporations such as Dow and DuPont, as well as numerous universities in the performance, and testing of applied research. While managing the physics laboratory for Southern Polytechnic State University, Mr. Dean oversaw the logistical support, testing, safety, and results documentation of all experiments conducted by the laboratory. His military career included ten years in the U.S. Army with Ground Surveillance Systems. He worked primarily with the Remotely Monitored Battlefield Sensor System (REMBASS), Ground Surveillance Radar, and development of related deployment tactics.
