IDENT Technology AG - IDENT Technology AG announces authorization affiliation with Infineon Technologies AG

Store this angel in big sizeWessling, Germany – April, 20 2009 –IDENT Technology of Wessling abutting to Munich has active up Infineon as a authorization accomplice from the semiconductor industry. With this partnership, Infineon Technologies headquartered in Neubiberg increases its charge in the across of application-specific chips for bold consoles and PC peripherals, such as computer mice and keyboards. Within this cooperation Infineon is developing a sensor cavity that allows acceptance and appraisal of movements and gestures that could until now alone be detected at appreciably greater abstruse accomplishment and cost. Infineon is already an accustomed supplier of custom specific Integrated Circuits for these applications.

“Our development has the abeyant to accommodate the man-machine interface. It can faculty and appraise movement, position and acceleration at low amount and due to no affective locations will be inherently maintenance-free. This is different in the market, and aloft all, it is adorable for high-volume applications,” says Christian Burrer, Senior Director in the Industry & Multi-market articulation at Infineon. “Electronic accessories can appropriately be controlled artlessly and allegedly by accustomed movements.”

One key advantage of the new sensor cavity will be the abundantly simplified assembly of the terminal unit. For instance, the new technology is declared to alter the ache gauges that accept been acclimated up to now to ascertain movement or about-face of weight. These are so far accumulated by duke in a cher alone accomplishment process. By contrast, with this new technology, the sensors are allotment of the printed ambit axle on which the cavity is mounted. Therefore no added accomplish in the accomplishment action are required. The new cavity will aswell decidedly abate the time for arrangement below 100 milliseconds. Comparable applications today crave a arrangement time of added than a second.

Infineon will authorization a amount of patents from IDENT Technology. “With technology based on our Intellectual Property, a absolutely new bearing of articles for the clandestine and automated sectors becomes feasible,” explains Peter Rosenbeck, CEO of IDENT Technology. “The sensor cavity enables the accomplishing of low energy, maintenance-free contactless buttons, joy-sticks, steering-wheels and added ascendancy elements for PCs and bold consoles. Interaction and advice can be controlled alone through gestures, anatomy movements or alive of weight.”

First appraisal samples will be presented by Infineon in abatement 2009. First articles application this new sensor-technology could appear on the bazaar by aboriginal bisected of 2010.

IDENT Technology AG, based in Wessling abreast Munich, is a common abstruse baton in the acreage of abstracts manual in capacitive near-field and gesture-supported man-machine ascendancy and markets its ability via licensing. The patented basal technologies SKINPLEX®, GestIC®, Ultra-low-power adjacency apprehension ULPP and zeropower® revolutionise absolute areas of appliance for arresting manual and, a allotment of added things and as the world’s aboriginal arrangement to do so, accommodate for a non-contact anti-trap ability for all automated closing systems. More than 160 patents accept currently been activated for, nine patents thereof and several account models accept been granted.
