Success of 3D NanoCompass will enable Baolab to create low cost, smart, reconfigurable Inertial Measurement Unit

Baolab Microsystems has announced that it expects to be able to modify the structures that it designed for its 3D NanoCompass™ to build a range of other motion sensors and, ultimately, to create low cost, smart, reconfigurable Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). These NanoIMUs™ will use Baolab's patented, award winning NanoEMS™ technology to create nanoscale MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) within the standard metal structure of a high volume manufactured CMOS wafer.

Baolab announces evaluation kits for its award winning NanoEMS MEMS - available to customers

Baolab Microsystems has announced that it will have evaluation kits of its recently announced 3D NanoCompass™ available at the end of February 2012. This electronic 3-axis CMOS MEMS NanoCompass technology uses Baolab's patented, award winning NanoEMS™ technology to create nanoscale MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) within the standard metal structure of a high volume manufactured CMOS wafer.

CellGuide to use Baolab's NanoEMS technology to add 3D Compasses to its CLIOX-C GPS chip
Enhanced location services and augmented reality

CellGuide has announced the selection of Baolab's award winning NanoEMS™ technology as a companion to its location and positioning solutions. CellGuide will add Baolab's recently launched 3D NanoCompass™ IC to their GPS chip, to create the CLIOX-C, the world's first fully integrated GPS and compass device. Integrating the Compass and GPS together enables 'point and identify' augmented reality features to be easily incorporated in mobile devices, tablets, and cameras. The compass function further enhances the GPS system by providing immediate tunnel-exit and dead-reckoning features to assist in situations where the GPS signal is intermittent or not available.

Baolab uses its NanoEMS™ technology to create ultra-low cost 3D Digital MEMS Compasses in CMOS
Using standard CMOS technologies and lines to slash MEMS costs by up to two thirds

Until now, 3D Compasses have typically used non-standard technologies such as magneto-resistive materials or Hall-effect structures combined with magnetic field concentrators to detect the direction of the Earth's magnetic field. Baolab Microsystems is first to design a pure CMOS Lorentz force MEMS sensor and, as a result, its new 3D Digital NanoCompass™ matches performance benchmarks for sensitivity, power consumption and package size, but at a dramatically lower cost. An additional unique feature resulting from this integration is that the device auto-calibrates to maintain consistent accuracy.

Baolab wins R&D award in prestigious 2010 Elektra Awards
Expands to meet demand for its NanoEMS technology

Baolab has won the prestigious Elektra European Electronics Industry Awards 2010 in the R&D category for its innovative NanoEMS™ technology. The established annual highpoint of the electronics industry, the Elektra Awards gives the industry the opportunity to recognise the achievements of individuals and companies across Europe. They are designed to promote best practice in key areas including innovation, sales growth and employee motivation. The winners were announced at the Elektra Awards Dinner and Christmas Party which took place today at the Lancaster London Hotel.

Baolab creates nanoscale MEMS inside the CMOS wafer
Using standard CMOS technologies and lines to slash MEMS costs by up to two thirds

Baolab Microsystems has announced a new technology to construct nanoscale MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) within the structure of the actual CMOS wafer itself using standard, high volume CMOS lines, which is much easier and quicker with fewer process steps than existing MEMS fabrication techniques that build the MEMS on the surface of the wafer. This significantly reduces the costs of a MEMS by up to two thirds and even more if several different MEMS are created together on the same chip.
