SHS-Facility An intelligent system for building automation SHS system node. Photograph: R. Peukert, IMMS. 42 Housing has been changing radically over a period of years. Empty buildings due to demographic change, a new legal framework and also the availability of new technology have forced landlords and real estate administrators into a rethink. The challenge now for the housing industry, with its typical investment period of many decades, is to achieve the sort of flat or apartment that can be individually tuned, is suitable to every…
”Our scientists have moved forward in the company of their IMMS colleagues into magnetic drive territory where there are prospects of hitherto unattainable accuracy of positioning, whether on a plane or in 6 dimensions.”
”The work offers great potential for industrial applications, but also for growing markets in life science and medical technology, where we see a rising demand for intelligent microelectronic sensors.“
”IMMS modelled and verified a mixed-signal IC with a controller for Melexis. Their high technical competence confirmed once more how well and enjoyably we have been able to collaborate with IMMS over recent years.“
”For a next-generation terahertz camera, Supracon’s own capacities in the resolution of such a sophisticated technical problem were very much complemented by IMMS’ long experience in the development of highly efficient drive systems.“
”At Bischoff Elektronik we have worked jointly with IMMS on the Smart Home Services (SHS) Facility project to develop an energy-efficient hardware and software platform for building automation applications. The Institute’s researchers never lost focus, remained flexible in responding to our desired alterations and were always concerned to achieve smooth cooperation.“
”IMMS’ many years of experience in wireless detection sensor networks were a significant help to us. With IMMS we were able to find hardware and software solutions of particular importance to long-term recording of open-air data. We are more than satisfied with the solution and have been able to use the platform with great flexibility in a variety of situations.“
”IMMS has been the most important research partner of X-FAB incorporation for many years. As industry-orientated research institute, IMMS is perfectly prepared to meet both the requirements of the big industry and the predominant small and medium-sized operators.“
”The achieved extreme precision, reproducibility and productivity of the laser dicing technology are at the forefront of international excellence. The close cooperation with IMMS leads to innovative developments, which is a basis that we can count on to expand our position as a leading technology provider.“
2013 Jahresbericht | Fachartikel MEMS-T-Lab (en/de)
MEMS-T-Lab – 44 a new test lab for MEMS-based micro systems Micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) are no more than a few micrometres in size. They unite sensors, actuators and control electronics onto a single silicon chip in a compact arrangement and are formed direct on the wafer: a method developed for MEMS production which originates in semiconductor manufacture. One use of these tiny systems is to control inkjet printer heads, another is as the microphone in a smartphone, another is as a sensor for the orientation of a…
