Sensors Insights By Roger Grace

MEMS-Based System Solutions
While I—and many others—have waxed eloquent on the subject of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), this has been a misnomer. Based on my experiences at Sensors Expo, Transducers, MEMS 2009 and the Solid State Sensors and Actuators Conference (frequently referred to as the Hilton Head conference), most of these deal with MEMS devices.
