Baolab uses its NanoEMS technology to create ultra-low cost 3D Digital MEMS Compasses in CMOS
Until now, 3D Compasses have typically used non-standard technologies such as magneto-resistive materials or Hall-effect structures combined with magnetic field concentrators to detect the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field. Baolab Microsystems is first to design a pure CMOS Lorentz force MEMS sensor and, as a result, its new 3D Digital NanoCompass™ matches performance benchmarks for sensitivity, power consumption and package siz...
Ocean Optics Asia Certified ISO 9001:2008
The Shanghai, China office of Ocean Optics, the industry leader in miniature photonics, has achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification applicable to the design and manufacture of electro-optical equipment. Ocean Optics’ US headquarters earned its ISO accreditation in 2009.
Lime Microsystems achieves first success for single chip multi-standard transceiver
Following the successful launch of its 2-4 GHz MicroTCA transceiver platform at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Lime Microsystems has achieved a single chip multi-band multi-standard reconfigurable transceiver IC. The first test chips back from the foundry have been tested and meet the original requirement for a highly frequency agile transceiver IC, operating from 375MHz to 4GHz. Sending and receiving data has been demonstrated successfully ...
NanoKTN Announces Details of Energy Harvesting Workshop to be held at S2K 2012
The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network is pleased to announce details of the workshop it will be hosting at S2K 2012. The workshop, being organised in partnership with the Electronics, Sensors, Photonics KTN and Materials KTN, will focus on micro and nanofabrication for energy harvesting applications which have been highlighted by the UK Government as an area of key importance for innovation and growth.
WiserBAN - Ultra-miniature smart wireless microsystems hold key for wearable and implanted body area networks
A European consortium lead by CSEM successfully launched the EC-funded WiserBAN project, with the objective of developing innovative ultra-miniature RF microsystems for wireless Body Area Networks (BAN) targeting primarily wearable and implanted devices for healthcare, biomedical, wellness and lifestyle applications.
Cambridge Consultants develops industry's smallest 2G and 3G femtocell base station
New Sidewinder™ reference design can provide a complete base station on a single PCB
Hall-effect switch features low power consumption for battery-operated applications
The new A1171 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is an ultra-sensitive micropower Hall-effect switch with latched digital outputs and either unipolar or omnipolar actuation. It features operation at low supply currents and voltages, making it ideal for battery-operated applications in portable or handheld communications and computer equipment.

InAsSb Infrared Detector for High Sensitivity Measurements in the 5 µm Spectral Band
Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the world’s first commercially available Indium Arsenide Antimonide (InAsSb) detector, the P11120-901. The new detector provides peak sensitivity in the 5 µm infrared spectral band and operates over the entire range from 1.6 µm to 5.8 µm. This high sensitivity is realised via Hamamatsu’s unique crystal growth technology. The InAsSb photodiode used in the P11120-901 has a planar structure which ensures a high s...
