Suppliers and OEMs to explore MEMS’ connection to emerging apps in biomedical/quality of life, consumer, robotics, smart energy, and more at annual executive conference
MEMS Industry Group (MIG) will host MEMS Executive Congress® 2012, the annual business conference and networking event for the MEMS industry, November 7-8, 2012 in Scottsdale, AZ. Keynote speakers include: Ajith Amerasekera, TI Fellow, IEEE Fellow, in Texas Instruments’ Kilby Labs, who will discuss how immersive intelligent systems will change the management of our cities, buildings, personal life, health, transportation, safety and security; and Robert Brunner, founder, creative director and partner, Ammunition. Brunner, who first made his name as director of industrial design at Apple Computer, will explore the critical connection between brand identity and connection to consumers—going far beyond the typical form-and-function paradigm of classic industrial design. Industry panels and the MEMS Technology Showcase®—featuring some of the most unique MEMS applications—complete the
MEMS Executive Congress 2012 program.

Karen’s blog from GE Global Research, Niskayuna
|
|
|

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Mohawk River in Niskayuna, NY is a powerhouse of industrial R&D; GE’s Global Research Center (GRC). GRC just celebrated its 110 year anniversary. Thomas Edison’s original desk is on display in the entry lobby to prove this point!
The Niskayuna facility is the largest of several GRCs. GE also has centers in Munich, Germany; Bangalore, India; Shanghai, China; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and San Ramon, California.
The history of invention and innovation that has taken place at GRC to create major new businesses was on display as we walked along the entry hall. Some highlighted examples include x-ray medical imaging, jet engines, magnetic resonance imagers, digital x-ray panels and a number of other world firsts. The Research Center in Niskayuna is one of the world’s largest corporate R&D centers that conducts focused, strategic research and development. This is GE – after all – and GE has the demonstrated ability to identify new business opportunities, utilize its research capacity to develop the required technologies in collaboration with GE businesses, and then to grow these businesses globally. As such, the master plan needs significant R&D capability to back it up.

iNEMI Survey: MEMS Collaboration Opportunities
|
|
|
Posted in Partner Events by International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative
|
|
|
iNEMI (International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative) has held workshops in Europe and North America to discuss the challenges of developing and adopting MEMS technologies and to set priorities and direction for industry-led collaborative efforts.
They are collecting inputs from key industry players on which collaborative R&D projects need to be driven to move the industry rapidly forward. They need your inputs on the survey. It will take just 5-10 minutes of your time and from that iNEMI will follow through and establish collaborative teams in areas of the highest needs. The survey will close August 31, 2012.
Please go here to take the survey.

Where is the Love? Karen's blog from SEMICON West 2012
|
|
|
Posted in Partner Events by Karen Lightman, MEMS Industry Group

Has the romance between the MEMS and semiconductor industries started to fizzle? Or is the real issue that for new equipment vendors, the appeal and shiny/sexy new-ness of MEMS has faded as they salivate in anticipation of a switch from 300 to 450mm (with all of that sexy, new and expensive semiconductor equipment)?
In 2011, I declared that it was the “the year of MEMS” at SEMICON West in my MEMSblog, because last year, MEMS was everywhere! This year, not so much…
Don’t get me wrong; I love going to SEMICON West. I keep coming back because it’s like homecoming. I can’t walk the halls of Moscone without bumping into dozens of colleagues and MEMS Industry Group (MIG) members. This year it was even more fun, because I was armed with hundreds of adorable MIG stickers that I emblazoned/bedazzled on every MIG member (and future member) I saw.
