MCU & sensor technologies enable smart audio device
STMicroelectronics has announced that it has contributed to the development of the Prizm smart audio device, which automatically plays songs based on the number of people in the room, their music tastes and habits, and even the time of day and ambient noise levels. ST’s MCU and sensor technologies enable Prizm’s smart audio and touch interactions.
Wireless battery charger controller is customisable
STMicroelectronics' STWBC digital controller for Wireless Battery Charger (WBC) transmitters offers the most flexible and efficient solution for controlling power transfer from a WBC transmitter to a receiver in WBC-enabled phones, wearables and other battery-powered devices that use electromagnetic induction for re-charge.
Micro-mirrors help change human-computer interaction
STMicroelectronics has announced that it has been providing micro-mirrors and control devices for Perceptual Computing initiatives at Intel. In addition to the ASIC control devices, ST supplies a tiny MEMS mirror that moves thousands of times per second to scan an infrared light beam, painting an invisible grid on objects in front of it.
MEMS market to undergo four-stage evolution over next 25 years, says report
With an impressive 20% growth in MEMS revenue compared to 2013, and sales revenues of more than $1.2bn, Robert Bosch GmbH is the clear number one in the global MEMS market, says Yole Développement. From Yole's yearly analysis of Top 100 MEMS Players, analysts have released the 2014 Top 20 MEMS Players Ranking, showing the emergence of what could be a future ‘MEMS titan’.
