Engineer

Sunatori worked at Northern Telecom Electronics Ltd. and Bell-Northern Research Ltd. (now Nortel Networks) for 11 years as a member of the scientific staff. He acted as senior integrated circuit designer for the CMOS standard cell library, as senior design system integrator for the GaAs cell library, and as UNIX systems administrator. His publications include those in the Journal of Applied Physics.[1]

Inventor

As an independent inventor, Sunatori has drafted and filed more than 60 solo patent applications[2] in many fields, including electronics, magnetics, optics, dynamics, software, hardware, energy, safety, environment, medical, consumer products, sporting goods, fashion, etc. with titles such as "Topless Microwave Cooking Device[3]", "Unisex Magnetic Coaxial Connector Device[4]", "Magnetically Erected Wind-Effect Display Device[5]", "Erectable Hexa-Conical Beverage Container[6]", "3-Way Hockey Rink[7]", "Drip-free Interconnect with Unisex Magnetic Connector[8]", "Coreless Frozen Pizza[9]" and "Bisexual Magnetic Garment Closure System[10]". He submitted inventions to the U.S. Department of Defense for Combating Terrorism Technology Research, i.e., "Crash Survivor[11]" and "Germ Buster[12]", to NASA Create the Future Design Contest,[13] etc. In 2017, he won the Grand Prize of Innovation150 Canadian Life Hacks Contest, organized by the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.[14] In 2019, NASA Tech Briefs published his discovery "Anisotropic Electromagnetic Force Phenomena[15]" in The Create the Future Design Contest.

Entrepreneur

As an entrepreneur, Sunatori founded HyperInfo Canada Inc. in 1989 to pursue research and development on information processing and publishing technology as well as electromagnetic technology applications. In 1992, he proposed to the Queen of Canada telepresence appearance instead of physical visits.[16] In 1995, he set up HyperInfo Knowledge Power Centre[17] on the internet to offer pay-for-value knowledge services via e-commerce. The HyperInfo Knowledge Power Centre won the 1996 Canadian Internet Special Achievement Award for "Best Internet Publication (electronic)", and 1999 Golden Web Award. In 2002, his court case with the Commission de protection de la langue française (CPLF) was mentioned in The Globe and Mail[18] newspaper, University of Alberta's Alberta Law Review,[19] etc. In 2005, his MagneScribe invention was featured in the Ottawa Business Journal[20] newspaper. In 2008, he appeared in PEO's publication "YOU FIND ENGINEERING IN THE MOST AMAZING PLACES[21]" along with Leonid Brezhnev, Jimmy Carter, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, Lee Iacocca, Boris Yeltsin, etc. In 2009, he discovered a serious security breach in Canada Post Ombudsman's online complaints system, as reported in the Ottawa Citizen[22] newspaper.

Patents

Sunatori has been granted over 60 Canadian and U.S. patents, including US 6830402 and CA 2429153 for "Auto-retractable pen mechanism with a cushion effect".

Personal life

Sunatori's son François (1989) is a chemical engineer/computer scientist who coined "Cappelletti code[23]". Sunatori's daughter Véronique (1991) is a professional artist who is a member of XVK[24]. Sunatori's daughter Évelyne (1993) is a Celebrity ALT[25] in Shimabara City[26].

gollark: S'more S'mingot coolers, anyone?
gollark: What sort of new changes do the new rules newly have?
gollark: I mean, if it's correct that it won't be backwards-compatible with old worlds, I can't really update anyway.
