Small modification can make emulational cell phone into a Phoenix (1)

Amazing emulational cell phone sales and the contribution to society are evident. It is because of the emergence of emulational cell phones, and then Shenzhen just becomes prosperous. If the emulational cell phone is cheaper than the Chinese cabbage, we have very good reasons to believe that, for the emulational cell phone industries of lower profits day by day, finding new profit growth point is the current top priority. How to make emulational cell phones from the pheasant into a Phoenix? It is very simple, you can simply add a few silicon MEMS gyroscopes to achieve your purpose, do not believe? The answer is as follow.

Whether you add throwing screens or GPS navigation, now the price of emulational cell phone is almost equivalent to the price of a cabbage. So, now how can it be sold as gold price? It is very simple; you can just add silicon MEMS gyroscopes of a few dollars on it. It brings unique benefits that cell phone users can simply rely on just gestures, then they can play table tennis, golf, fire a gun, driving, sailing, flying and other complex postures to control the game, it is the same as Wii.

Silicon MEMS gyroscope added value in the toy market is very large, for example, children can simply use the gesture to control toy helicopters, and back up the direction of movement, the white-collar workers can do with wireless remote control Slide gesture before and after the flip when they make speeches, if the remote control is with two silicon MEMS gyroscopes, it can be used as an air mouse by gesture control.

Currently global suppliers of silicon MEMS gyros are Bosch, ADI (already out of the consumer electronics market, currently only do auto market), ST, InvenSense, Murata, Panasonic and Shanghai Shen Di Semiconductor. Shen Di is created by the returnees, now it settles in Shanghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, it is the only company specializing in silicon MEMS gyro development and sales company in China, currently it has developed first-generation samples, and mass production is expected until the second quarter of this year. Its current main competitive advantage is the lowest prices of the same performance.

Epson is the only global supplier of quartz MEMS gyroscope currently, the stability of quartz MEMS gyro is the best, but the technological requirements are the highest, in addition to Epson basically no one else can do, its biggest drawback is the ability to lower the impact of anti-gravity, only 300g, and silicon MEMS gyroscope can withstand the impact of 10000g.

Shen Di Semiconductor CEO and founder Zou Bo said: “Shen Di products are now three Design, including the Sony PS3 and Lenovo cell phone. It is expected that market demand this year is in 100 million or so.” He added that currently there no foundry can do silicon MEMS gyroscope in China, we are out to do it. However, we are currently building Changzhou IC packaging to cope with the forthcoming deluge orders.

Tiny Inventions Impact our Lives in Big Ways

Among the latest scientific inventions of great importance to us in our daily lives are devices known as MEMS.  Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are the technology of the very small. In Japan MEMS are also called micromachines. Smaller still, are the nano-scale nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and nanotechnology.

MEMS are made up of components between 1 to 100 micrometers in size (i.e. 0.001 to 0.1 mm) and MEMS devices generally range in size from 20 micrometers (20 millionths of a meter) to a millimeter.  MEMS became practical once they could be fabricated using modified semiconductor fabrication technologies, normally used to make electronics.

One type of invention impacting our lives is the accelerometer. An accelerometer measures the acceleration and gravity it experiences. Modern accelerometers are often small micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and are indeed the simplest MEMS devices possible, consisting of little more than a cantilever beam with a proof mass. Under the influence of gravity or acceleration the proof mass deflects from its neutral position. This deflection is measured in an analog or digital manner. This method is simple and reliable; it also does not require additional process steps making it inexpensive.

Micromechanical accelerometers are available in a wide variety of measuring ranges, reaching up to thousands of g’s. These amazing little devices are what allow us to take for granted the most commonplace things in our lives, while benefiting from them immensely.

 For instance, these latest of scientific devices tell our air bags when to deploy.  Do you feel that we benefit from our airbag technology?   They are becoming endemic in gaming devices and even iPhones and other smart phones are using them for interfacing purposes.  They are being incorporated into laptop computers to sense screen orientation, and to park hard drive heads in case a drop is detected.  They are also used for images stabilization in digital cameras and a host of other applications. They are everywhere you look these days.

Another area where MEMS are popping up is in pressure sensors. MEMS technology combines microelectronics with tiny mechanical systems such as valves, gears, and other mechanical components all on one semiconductor chip using nanotechnology to measure pressure. Pressure sensors can be used for directly sensing pressure for such uses as measuring weather data, aircraft performance parameters, automobiles processes, medical devices, and other machine applications . 

These latest scientific inventions can be used for sensing altitude for use in aircraft, rockets, satellites, weather balloons etc. And finally, they can be use for flow sensing. MEMS technology is responsible for everything from automatic blood pressure monitoring devices to monitoring tire pressure of your car.

I’ve barely touched upon the latest scientific inventions in the MEMS field, just think of the military and battlefield uses for such a technology, research is underway for such things as smart clothing and smart armor.

We are using these technologies in the exploration of the ocean depths by implanting them into whales and fish, and monitoring them with radio technology.  All fields of science will continue to benefit from the amazing new inventions being spawned by these amazing and cool new technologies.
