MEMS Accelerometers
muRata- I have tracked them for a good bit
Why?
Murata and Sensor Platforms Collaborate on MEMS Sensor and PDR Algorithms for Next-Generation Smartphone/Tablet Applications
KYOTO, Japan, Jan 06, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (tokyo:6981) (isin:JP3914400001) (hereinafter "Murata") and Sensor Platforms, Inc. (hereinafter "SPI") announced today they have had a collaborative relationship for over three years.
The indoor navigation, activity-monitoring market will become a reality now that Murata and SPI have teamed up. The newly developed best PDR (Pedestrian Dead Reckoning) algorithm by SPI, combined with Murata's high-accuracy, low-power, low noise MEMS technology (pressure sensor currently under development), will minimize the error over distance traveled, bringing much needed accuracy to the PDR market. It will lead to a first in consumer satisfaction. By using SPI's PDR function, customers are able to detect position, utilizing a variety of sensors with their algorithm. With Murata's MEMS sensor high-accuracy height detection added into this function, it will enable precise Z-axis information, enabling users to freely move around the third dimension world. Minimum power consumption is always a critical issue for smartphone/tablet devices, however this will also be accomplished by utilizing both Murata's hardware and SPI's software.
They make some very interesting and good sensors. Pressure is a strong point for them, ie the one for the 10th axis for Indoor location.
