STMicroelectronics Launches iNEMO Design Contest in China

STMicroelectronics has launched the 2011 iNEMO Campus Design Contest, an open competition for the design of innovative applications built around ST’s iNEMO smart multi-sensor technology. ST’s iNEMO Design Contest aims at supporting and promoting innovative design ideas in the MEMS space among students and young engineers in China.

ST's iNEMO evaluation and development tool offers 9-axis MEMS sensing of linear, angular, and magnetic motion, along with pressure and temperature sensing, managed by the STM32 32-bit microcontroller. The integration of multiple sensors with processing capabilities and dedicated software in a single device enables leaps in functionality and performance in a wide variety of applications, including Gaming, Human Machine Interface, Robotics, Portable Navigation Devices, and Patient Monitoring.

“As the industry leader, ST recognizes the key role of design usability, originality and creativity in MEMS design,” said Benedetto Vigna, Group Vice President and General Manager of the MEMS, Sensors and High Performance Analog Division. “ST continues to drive MEMS industry growth with its innovation capabilities and with its commitment to developing and cultivating talent among university students and young engineers around the world. The iNEMO Design Contest in China is yet another example of how ST demonstrates its commitment to global innovation and excellence.”

The iNEMO Campus Design Contest will run in China until November, 22 2011 and offers total prizes in excess of Rmb60,000 to the 10 most successful iNEMO design concepts, evaluated on their functionality and practicality, implementation, creativity, presentation and final demonstration. The winners will be announced at the end of November, 2011.
