Montreal, Canada), and software labs of a major industrial

management systems, data compression, integrated circuit
testing, computer architecture, computer printer
technology, smart cards, oil-field data modeling, oil-field
data acquisition, and even a baby cushion/diaper changing
pad (U.S. Patent. 5,551,108).
Pehr preceded his career in law with several years as a
