September 10, 2013
Santa Clara Marriott
Santa Clara, CA

 

STMicroelectronics, one of the world's largest and most respected semiconductor companies, are bringing together the “Who’s Who” of MEMS and sensors experts from across industry and academia to discuss how to best use MEMS-based sensors to optimize performance, size, power consumption and cost.  You are invited to join the discussion. 

With discussions led by industry leaders, this industry-driven event will help to shape the future of MEMS and Sensors in portable devices, remote controllers, personal navigation systems, advanced video games, and healthcare. 

The day is filled with Top Technologists delivering and leading thought-provoking keynotes and panel discussions, stimulating presentations, live demonstrations and hands-on seminars to help you take advantage of important trends in technology. 

This free event is sponsored by Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center (BSAC), EEJournal, EEWeb, MEMS Exchange, MEPTEC, and MEMS Industry Group and other industry-leading organizations and hosted by STMicroelectronics. 

Seats are limited, REGISTER early!

Guest Blog: Tale of a Very Long Tail

space
space

Posted in MEMSblog by MEMS Industry Group

space

Submitted by: Bryon Moyer, Editor of EE Journal.
 

I cut my engineering teeth on programmable logic and circuit design (bipolar, ECL). Nothing happens in those fields without tools, and so we have a massive EDA industry. OK, not as massive as they might like, given their constant kvetching about how the market never seems to grow, but it’s sizable and well established.
 

So I’m used to an environment dominated by a few big companies. The little companies around them mostly act like quantum fluctuations to feed the big guys. You start a company, and if you’re successful, you’re sucked into a big guy. If not, you blink out of existence like so much energy dissipating back into the ether. Those few companies that never manage to disappear, but keep trundling along, run the risk of being treated as walking wounded.


Having spent a couple years now trying to parse the MEMS industry for EE Journal, I’ve found a very different dynamic. And any stroll through the Sensors Expo (this year’s edition just finished up) will reinforce that fact. Just when you thought you knew the players, you find out how many more there are that you had no idea existed.
