January 2013 - June 2015.
Here I was a testifying expert working with the plaintiff in a case involving the fancy voice-coil electromagnetic actuators that control tracking and focus in optical disc drives (CD, DVD, BluRay). I did a lot of reverse engineering, including driving the actuators and taking video showing their operation, unwinding the coils to show their winding pattern and connections, that sort of thing. The case was stayed for quite awhile and then settled, so full reports and testimony weren't required.
