For this purpose, Medtronic engineers adapted a type of microelectromechanical system accelerometer found in cellphones and other consumer products, which wouldn't draw too much power and drain the device's battery. The battery is rechargeable—the ...
Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS in Duisburg therefore developed a pragmatic alternative: a radio sensor chip about the size of a fingernail that is mounted directly in the window. The tiny sensor ...
The new models are designed for applications that require exceptional performance and extreme durability in a tiny footprint, including micromachining and marking of metals and plastics, laser direct structuring (LDS) in PCB manufacturing, intra-glass ...

IGZO-MEMS, or Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide-Micro Electro Mechanical System, is a joint development between Sharp and Qualcomm subsidiary Pixtronix. Instead of using a liquid crystal layer to (imperfectly) block the light created by the LED backlight, MEMS ...
Maxim Integrated Products Inc. has opted exit the consumer MEMS and consumer touch markets and focus instead on the automotive sensor business. The company is also taking a slice of the wearable equipment market with its power management ICs.
