• IOPROB: Electronic Systems Automated Test, Diagnosis and Repair Expert System. He developed this system in 1994 to be used on digital phone switching IOP systems diagnosis and repair, although their use and the theory developed in the design is expandable to a wide variety of environments. It consists on three modules that work in an interactive way: an electronic module (hardware) for interfacing the IOP module to a PC, programs that operate from the microcomputer as user's interface (software) and administrator, and a low level program that resides in a memory that is inserted inside the PCB to be tested, taking control of it (firmware). The self-diagnosis firmware, jointly with the electronic module and the software from the PC, isolates automatically the flaw inside the card, and communicates to the expert system software, which guides the technician in the repair in an interactive way by means of artificial intelligence. The PABX IOP module for which he used the IOPROB is a digital system based on Intel and NEC microprocessors and microcontrollers. It possesses a bus-sharing multiprocessing microsystem, with two microprocessors (Intel 8086 and 8089) in maximum mode, a high level communications protocol HDLC microcontroller (Intel 8273) and a disk units microcontroller (µPD,765 from NEC), supported by controllers and bus referees, besides a controller of interruptions, a timer, two serial interfaces RS-232C for terminal handling and modem, and an extensive digital logic of medium associate scale. The automated tests that IOPROB performs, embraces the entirety of mentioned elements of the IOP module, detecting and assisting by computer in the correction of any flaw. This system has being used for years by technicians and engineers of Siemens's support department in Venezuela.
• Theory and Scientific Method for Complex Systems Diagnosis. He developed this theory to use it as an analytic and conceptual tool in the creation of the IOPROB expert system database. There were postulated and demonstrated theorems and fundamental definitions.
• Research and Analysis of Thermal Effects in Cylindrical Condensers inside Extreme Environments and Circuits with High Power Dissipation. Mathematical calculations and advanced analysis were made on mechanical and electric effects, deducting fundamental and indispensable equations as a precision analysis tool under extreme conditions.
• Research and Analysis of Data Writing Capacity and Density in Tapes and DATs. He developed this study at Telcel Bellsouth, to analytically determine the maximum amount of data blocks allowed for download to tape or DAT in the switch billing and Database backup process. Fundamental procedures and mathematical formulas were deducted.
• Mathematics Musical Model Theory. He developed a mathematical model of timing for his musical project "The Dreams Concerto", his second discographic release, for a segment of the second movement of this work, which became the song Mathematics and Arts II. The concept of contraposition between the mathematical and artistic sides of musical creation is developed on top of this model and focused in two ways: one exact, where its equations rigorously rules the instrument performance without leaving space for mistakes and improvisation; and one inexact, where the emotional human factor is free to express itself. Maestro Andrés Briceño has incorporated Raimundo Rodulfo's Musical-Mathematics Model and "The Dreams Concerto" work as part of his study program for music alumni, at his drum and percussion teaching program.

• PRTEST: Serial Communications Automated Test System. He developed this system for NCR equipment test at NCR Summa Sistemas, Venezuela. Created besides the prototype of the portable equipment an assembling line and mass industrial production, and an emulation software to handle the remote connections testing. He also performed methodological studies and performance analysis, costs and mass construction industrial operations. It consists of a serial communication testing portable equipment for computing systems and communication, configurable to work with any standard parameter of baud rate, parity and serial interface type. The developed system consists of an intelligent Intel 8751 microcontroller based electronic module connected to the serial port of any equipment with communications port (modem, serial printer, PC, automatic cashier, etc.), which can be configured in different ways to diagnose and detect any communication flaw. At the same time, a communications diagnosis software was developed, simulating the designed hardware module operation in a computer, extending the diagnosis possibilities to parallel interfaces. The communications diagnosis systems designed  (hardware and software) have been used for years by laboratory and field technicians of technical support department at NCR's Rework Center in Venezuela.
• Automatic Traffic and Performance Statistics Analysis and Monitoring Systems for Switching and Telecommunications Equipment. During 8 years of work in telecommunications companies he has designed and developed 10 systems for automation of maintenance related processes, diagnosis and statistics and phone switching systems remote control, RF and energy.
• Net controller system. Based on Intel 8088 microprocessor, with communication protocol with the server (PC 80486) by pulse wide, and drive of a video terminal and a switches arrangement and LED's for each node. It was designed and the interface hardware was programmed with the server, consisting in a microcomputer based on the MPU 8088.
• ADIO: DSP Processor. It includes a hardware unit DSP with modules AD and DA and interface toward a PC, and a digital signals control and processing software. Some of the applications developed in this platform are: external audio signals processor (musical instruments), signals generator and oscilloscope. It possesses an interface system A/D and D/A of I/O, with a microcomputer (PC), a program that allows to implement by hardware and software an input application as digital voltmeter and an output application as sinusoidal, triangular, saw tooth and square signals generator, with variables width and frequency. The electronic interface module and the necessary high and low level programs were designed to implement the mentioned applications.
