Mr. Alsenz was a Founder, President, and Chairman of the Board of Communications Components Corporation, a manufacturer of computerized navigation and electronic communications equipment. Under Mr. Alsenz’ leadership, the Company grew steadily until it was sold to Rockwell International Corporation (Collins General Aviation Division) in 1979. Mr. Alsenz was then appointed Vice President of Rockwell International, and General Manager of its Costa Mesa operations for two years following the sale. In 1981, Mr. Alsenz formed ABI Ltd., originally a General Partnership and currently an LLC. As the Managing Member of ABI, Mr. Alsenz formed Piezoelectric Technology Investors, a Limited Partnership to fund the development of the world’s first quartz based solid state gyroscope. After patenting the developed technology, Mr. Alsenz sold an exclusive license to Thorn EMI. Thorn then set up manufacturing and sales facilities. Today, this angular rate sensor technology is integrated in braking systems of millions of autos manufactured around the world and is the latest standard used for missile guidance and aircraft systems. In 1981 and 1982 Mr. Alsenz formed Avant Systems (later merged into Trivec-Avant) and Lightning Diversion Systems, respectively. Trivec designed, built and sold the latest military communications antennas and systems.
