Self-driving cars have been all the rage in both the trade and popular press in recent years. I prefer the term “autonomous vehicles,” which more broadly captures the possibilities, encompassing not only small passenger vehicles but mass transit and industrial vehicles as well.
MEMS Fabrication: Growth-Enabler or Industry Roadblock?
The MEMS industry has huge growth potential. Will MEMS fabrication act as a bottleneck to continued expansion or a critical conduit to achieving that potential?
AI and MEMS Sensors: A Critical Pairing
How can consumer-product manufacturers tap the built-in capabilities of MEMS inertial sensors — which are already ubiquitous in end-user devices — to make the most of AI?
What’s Next for Smart Speakers? Smarter Microphones
Smart speakers and voice assistants are already a big part of everyday life for many of us. Improvement in speech recognition accuracy obtained from advancements in natural language processing, machine learning and cloud computing technologies is driving the success of voice assistants.
MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress 2017: Knowing Your Unknowns
As in life, knowing everything in MEMS and sensors is impossible. Often the best we can do is to “know the unknowns” because articulating what we do not yet understand allows us to seek answers so that we can stay competitive.
Sentimental Feelings – Looking Back and Forward to MEMS & Sensors Executive Congress
I’m feeling sentimental as I prepare with the MEMS & Sensors Industry Group (MSIG) team for our annual MEMS & Sensors Executive Congress.
Check out the finalists for MEMS & Sensors Technology Showcase at MEMS Executive Congress 2015
The annual crowd-pleasing favorite, MEMS & Sensors Technology Showcase at the 11th annual MEMS Executive Congress US 2015, on November 4, features a wealth of cool contestants. But only one can be the winner.
Karen’s Hamburg MEMS Roadtrip – A Great Gig
My favorite kind of business travel is when I can combine it with either a visit with friends/family or a site visit to a MEMS Industry Group (MIG) member company. This month, before I headed to Copenhagen to host MEMS Executive Congress Europe 2015, I had the pleasure of doing both.
Wearable Devices and the Search for the Holy Grail at 2015 International CES
Several years ago, I coined the phrase “MEMS frickin’ everywhere.” I shared my vision for MEMS enabling a smarter and better world.
Pittsburgh IMAPS Workshop
By Karen Lightman, Executive Director, MEMS Industry Group Packaging means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Webster’s dictionary defines package as a “group or a number of things, boxed and offered as a unit.” For…
