Founded in 2004 by Lester Schaevitz, Everight Sensors Corporation (formerly known as Everight Position Technologies Corporation) has brought a new dynamic to the development and marketing of linear, angular, and tilt position sensors in response to the rapidly changing and expanding requirements of an automating world. Design engineers who create automation systems in the industrial, commercial, research, test and measurement, defense, and aerospace fields are demanding new types of position sensors and they are demanding them today in a different way…instead of looking for a particular sensor technology for a particular use, they are looking for a particular sensor capability for that use in a narrow price range.

Traditionally, sensor companies have been organized around one basic sensor technology, and only make and sell sensors for applications for which that technology's capability is most suited and priced. To address the position instrumentation market as it is emerging today, Everight Sensors is taking that old business model and turning it inside out…Everight draws upon a wealth of the most advanced and capable position sensor technologies available and then applies those technologies to satisfy whatever sensor capability the customer's application requires at the right price. Our design engineering and applications engineering team has over 110 years of combined experience in the position sensor and measurement instrumentation fields, and includes the author (David Nyce) of the current definitive book on linear position sensing, the author (Edward Herceg) of the first book written on LVDT position sensors, and the inventor of the RVIT (David Fiori, Jr.).

Les Schaevitz is a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and is a member of the original Schaevitz Engineering (now MSI/Schaevitz Sensors) family, the pioneer company of the position sensor industry. With Schaevitz Engineering just prior to its sale to Lucas (TRW), he ultimately went on to be director of sales and marketing at Macro Sensors (now AST/Macro Sensors), a leading manufacturer of LVDT linear position sensors. Les Schaevitz is the founder of Everight Sensors, the marketer/designer behind the first commercial applications of NyceWave Sensing Technology, and the originator of the unique "multiple technology" marketing concept underlying Everight Sensors' rapid growth.

David Nyce is one of the top sensor design and manufacturing engineers in the world today and is the inventor for whom NyceWave Position Sensing is named. Formerly director of technology and division general manager at MTS Systems Corporation, he holds numerous patents and is a renowned authority in an array of sensor fields including pressure, force, acceleration, position, and liquid level. David Nyce is also a highly accomplished electronics engineer with broad capabilities in standard and microprocessor controlled sensor support electronics hardware and software development. A widely published author on sensors and related technologies, David Nyce's text, "Linear Position Sensors, Theory and Application," is considered the definitive current book on its subject.

Edward Herceg is one of the most accomplished electro-mechanical applications engineers and technical marketeers in the sensor industry today. His training, knowledge, and experience cover not only the sensor world, but a broad range of disciplines including electrical, chemical, mechanical, structural, and materials sciences. Early in his career, Mr. Herceg was chief engineer at Schaevitz Engineering, originally well known as the pioneer in LVDTs, which ultimately became a major multi-technology position sensor manufacturer. While there, he authored the "Schaevitz Handbook of Measurement and Control," the first book written on the subject of LVDT position sensors. Later, while at Schaevitz, he oversaw the development of the first LVIT/RVIT position sensors and headed the Schaevitz division that first brought LVIT/RVIT position sensing technology to the market.

David Fiori, Jr. is a graduate of the Wharton School and the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania and a holder of numerous patents in the fields of analog and digital electronics. He is an innovator in frequency mode sensor technology, and his Digital Autoplex ™ inductive sensor demodulation technology is now in widespread use in the sensor and transducer industries. David invented the RVIT (Rotary Variable Inductive Transducer), which incorporates the Digital Autoplex circuit to achieve high levels of accuracy and temperature insensitivity in a non-contacting rotary angle measuring device. Among other technical strengths, David excels in synergistically combining the best features of digital circuits together with high performance analog circuits to achieve low cost and high performance products, creating complex micro-controller programs involving simultaneous digital interface protocols with multi-tasking requirements, and implementation of high performance analog circuits in severe electrical interference environments.
