Prospects for MEMS and sensors in the Automotive sectorJuly 16, 2013 | 11:30 AM-12:30 PM ET
In the powertrain domain, emission regulations also keep manufacturers on their toes. In Europe, the advent of Euro VI standard in 2015 will impact both gasoline engines and the popular diesel market. Meanwhile, the electric vehicle poses the biggest threat to powertrain sensors—it will eliminate some but add new devices that manage the electric motors. Hybrid variants with combinations of combustion engine and electric powertrain will exist requiring more or less sensors in the internal combustion engine, underlying the fact that sensors will remain a key electronic component of today’s and tomorrow’s vehicles. This webinar will discuss these and other inflections in the market and the prospects for automotive sensors in future.

Micro- and nano-electromechanical switches: A detailed look into these promising technologies
June 18, 2013 | 11:30 AM-12:30 PM ET
The silicon solid state metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) has fueled a global technology revolution, but is reaching its performance limits. A critical issue is device leakage. A number of electromechanical relay architectures have been proposed to replace or complement MOSFETs. These switches have low on resistance, near zero subthreshold leakage and can be made by self-assembly (bottom-up) or MEMS/NEMS (top down) fabrication methods. Various switch designs and logic implementations will be described. Scaling relations with respect to voltage, speed and contact resistance versus length scale will be considered. We will then consider contact reliability and focus our attention on the importance of materials, surface preparation and gaseous environment.
While work needs to be done to further improve their reliability, electromechanical switches are nearing widespread commercial use and represent a promising route towards further enhancing transistor technology. Attend this technical webinar to see the exciting promise these switches offer.

Standardizing the Internet of (Important) Things
June 10, 2013 | 11:30 AM-12:30 PM ET
The University of California- Berkeley, BSAC (Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center) brings two renowned experts in the field of wireless sensor networks to discuss the latest developments in the standardization efforts of this burgeoning field. “OpenWSN: Standards based enabler for the Industrial Internet” The OpenWSN project is an open-source implementation of a fully standards-based protocol stack for capillary networks, rooted in the new IEEE802.15.4e Time Synchronized Channel Hopping standard. The tools developed around the low-power mesh networks include visualization and debugging software, a simulator to mimic OpenWSN networks on a PC, and the environment needed to connect those networks to the Internet. The OpenWSN project leads standardization efforts for ultra-low power M2M networks while contributing with innovative protocols for scalable, distributed and energy efficient communications.“IETF 6TSCH: a New Standardization Effort to Combine IPv6 Connectivity with Industrial Performance” 6TSCH is a new group being created at the IETF, which focuses on combining IPv6 connectivity with industrial performance. Two major standardization bodies have been looking at low-power mesh networking: the IETF ("upper stack") and the IEEE ("lower stack"). 6TSCH is working on combining the two. In this presentation, we will highlight the challenges the 6TSCH group needs to address, and discuss the first solutions which are being explored.

Consumer & Mobile: MEMS El Dorado?May 15, 2013 | 11:30 AM-12:30 PM ET The expansion of MEMS sensors in consumer markets continues unchecked. The market for MEMS sensors in this sector grew 15% in revenue last year to reach $2.9 billion, and in 2013, should grow by another 18%. By 2016, the market will have almost doubled to $5.6 billion, despite aggressive price erosion.
In this webinar, IHS will present its latest findings on the most exciting MEMS and sensors areas, the increasing focus on combo sensors, regional trends, emerging and new applications and opportunities for newcomers.

MEMS Enabling Mobile Healthcare InnovationApril 17, 2013 | 11:30 AM-12:30 PM ET The healthcare market is slow to adopt new technologies due to strict regulations they must follow for patient safety and privacy. This is why, while most other markets have embraced new technology, the healthcare market is still relying on fax machines and handwritten notes. But we are reaching the point where the current health system is unsustainable because there are too many people who are elderly or ill, combined with astronomical healthcare costs, and rapidly improving technological capabilities that are driving consumers to demand better care. The future of healthcare is being manufactured by the consumer’s demand for big data. And big data is made possible in part by MEMS. This webinar will address how MEMS and the changing healthcare culture have come together to create a perfect environment for innovation within the consumer segment.
