"Advanced Microsystem for Automotive Applications 2001" presents state-of-the-art microsystems for vehicle applications. It provides an overview of the presentations given at the 5th International Conference on Advanced Microsystem for Automotive Applications and concentrates on interfaces, standards and networks. Microsystems can enhance the performance of a vehicle in a variety of ways, by making cars more intelligent, improving safety systems, and by reducing fuel consumption and environmental pollution.
The first chapter of this book presents "Application Opportunities of MEMS/MST in the Automotive Market: The Great Migration from Electromechanical and Discrete solutions", while chapter 2 discusses "Using Micro device in Automotive Applications". The remainder of the book is divided into four sessions and a selection of poster presentations.
Session 1, Multimedia, includes three papers addressing "Passenger Information and Entertainment - Multimedia Trends and Architectures", "The Automotive Internet - An Advanced Automotive Application" and "Organic LED (LOED) for Automotive Display Applications." Session 2 presents six papers which discuss Interfaces - Communication for Microsystems. Papers in this section include "Intelligent Tyre Technology", "Development of Smart Initiators" and "New Architectures for Faster Automotive Design Cycles".
Session 3, Media Sensors/Severe Conditions, contains four papers including "Pressure Sensors for Automotive Applications - with New One chip EPROM Technology".
"Accelerometers Utilising MEMS Technology and Their Design Considerations for Automotive restraint Systems" and "Micromachined Sensors for Advanced Microsystems" are amongst the four papers presented in Session 4, Safety Applications. The final section of the book includes eight poster presentation amongst which discuss "Integrated Electronics for Bus Systems Igniters" a 'Micro-Electro-Mechanical Acceleration-Sensitive Switch" and "Building Automotive LIN Applications".
The material presented in this book is clearly presented and does not include complicated technical jargon. It is therefore suitable for production managers, designers and engineers.
