BEI Technologies (Concord, CA) recorded the shipment of the one-millionth GyroChip yaw rate sensor from its Systron Donner Inertial Division, according to Gerald D. Brasuell, VP and general manager. "The enthusiastic acceptance of these remarkable devices by the auto industry has helped us achieve this production milestone in a relatively short time. We welcome this opportunity to demonstrate this technical and commercial breakthrough with an extremely high- tech product that was originally conceived for military and aerospace uses."

"Production of this patented micromachined MEMS sensor for automotive stability control systems was launched by the Systron Donner Inertial Division in the second half of 1996 when it was first delivered for Cadillac's StabiliTrak system," he continues. "Other automotive customers were added in 1997, and the company has quickly become the world's leading supplier of yaw rate sensors for automotive stability control systems."

The BEI GyroChips are used in the latest generation of automotive stability control systems. Sophisticated sensors provide vital motion information to the car's on-board microprocessor to ...
