Congratulations to our friends at WiSpry on their recent big design win for enabling the first mass-produced RF MEMS-enabled wireless handset. The company’s unique WS2017 Tunable Impedance Match (TIM) circuit consists of a network of low-loss inductors combined with WiSpry’s digitally-tunable, low-loss MEMS capacitors, and is ideally suited for delivering the performance and flexibility requirements of 4G implementations. Congratulations to Jeff, Art and all at WiSpry on the tremendous innovation and design expertise that went into this achievement. It’s a testament to the power of MEMS and the skills WiSpry brings to bear on the market opportunities in consumer electronics for MEMS.
MEMS+ model of a 3 axis Gyroscope that illustrates new MEMS+ features. The model is comprised of 4 flexible plates formed from two pairs of mirrored meshes attached to electrodes. These plates are displayed semi-transparently, to highlight the underlying electrodes (Source: Chipworks, "Motion sensing in the iPhone 4: MEMS Gyroscope". Y.

Fig. 2. Silicon spin qubit centered in the dotted circle, control and readout signals (M, P, R, T, and Q) are shown in the inset. Simplified schematics of the quantum point contact and corollary circuits are shown. The voltage source is implemented as a digital-to-analog converter at room temperature. (Taken from [6])
