Fingerprint sensor technology currently used in smartphones like the iPhone 6 produces a two-dimensional image of a finger? surface, which can be spoofed fairly easily with a printed image of the fingerprint. A newly developed ultrasonic sensor eliminates that risk by imaging the ridges and valleys of the fingerprint? surface, and the tissue beneath, in three dimensions.
An implantable, microchip-based device may soon replace the injections and pills now needed to treat chronic diseases: Earlier this month, MIT spinout Microchips Biotech partnered with a pharmaceutical giant to commercialize its wirelessly controlled, implantable, microchip-based devices that store and release drugs inside the body over many years.
Global electronic components distributor Digi-Key Electronics, the industry leader in electronic component selection, availability and delivery, announced today that SiTime? industry-leading, MEMS oscillators are programmed, and available for shipment from Digi-Key with 24 hour lead times.
Rudolph Technologies, Inc. announced today that the leading MEMS company, Robert Bosch GmbH, has selected Rudolph to supply several different configurations of its F30™ Inspection System for various steps in the front- and back-end fabrication processes of micro electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) devices. This win represents increasing business with tools beginning to ship in the second quarter 2015.
Fairchild, a leading supplier of high-performance semiconductor solutions, today launched the FIS1100 6-axis MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), the company’s first MEMS product stemming from its strategic investments in MEMS and motion tracking.
mCube, provider of the world’s smallest MEMS motion sensors, today introduced the company’s first family of accelerometers optimized for wearables and the “Internet of Moving Things (IoMT)”.
