MEMS – Enter with Care

MEMS – enter with care. I think that will be my tagline for MEMS Industry Group’s third annual MEMS Executive Congress Europe 2014 recently held in Munich, Germany.

Exploring the MEMS-Enabled Life: A Preview of MEMS Executive Congress Europe 2014

Munich, Germany is one of my favorite cities in the world. If you agree or if you’ve never been there, I have the perfect opportunity for you to join me.

Intel’s e-DRAM Shows Up In The Wild

When Intel launched their Haswell series chips last June, they stated that the high-end systems would have embedded DRAM, as a separate chip in the package; and they gave a paper at the VLSI Technology Symposium that month, and another at IEDM.

Are Hardware Hubs Coming?

Sensor fusion has been all the rage over the last year. We’ve all watched as numerous companies – both makers of sensors and the “sensor-agnostic” folks – have sported dueling algorithms. Sensor fusion has broadened into “data fusion,” where other non-sensor data like maps can play a part. This drama increasingly unfolds on microcontrollers serving as “sensor hubs.”

GLOBALFOUNDRIES to make Apple chips in New York fab?

I normally don’t have the time to follow local press, but occasionally Google Alerts pops up with something quite interesting.
