Omron is improvising its radio-frequency switches, pressure sensors and thermal infrared sensing solutions for advancing the applications in navigation, smart phones and building automation to revolutionize the market for these products.
The company’s conventional pressure sensor market ranges from their blood pressure sensors to process control devices for industrial applications. By enclosing the rear-side of the piezo-resistive pressure monitor with a silicon-to-silicon sealing methodology, Omron restructured them from ambient pressure sensors to absolute pressure sensors for its utility in smartphones and other navigation systems.
Omron is also modulating its MEMS fab-oriented mobile phone business in Japan, which develops RF switches by ohmic contacts. The miniature single-pole, dual-throw MEMS-enabled transmissions are capable of relaying up to 3GHz DC signals, allowing the switching in and out antenna filters for various bands.
The company has also advanced its MEMS temperature sensing technology by configuring a sequence of eight adjacent proximity sensors for detecting the presence of occupants in an area irrespective of mobility, permitting the building automation solutions to turn off ventilation, heating and air-conditioning to non-occupied zones.
