The Systron Donner division of BEI Technologies has shipped it one-millionth GyroChip yaw rate sensor. The MEMS sensors are for automotive stability controls. Systron Donner manufactures sensor for Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Jaguar, Lincoln Mercedes Benz, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Volkswagen and Volvo.

The sensors provide motion information to an on-board microprocessor. Automatic selective braking can compensate for oversteer or understeer conditions.

Briefly Noted:

* Markel Engineering (Tel: 530/895-2770, Fax: 530-895-2777; Email: info@markelengineering.com) has received up to $150,000 in funding from the Department of Energy (DOE). The money is for the development of low-cost MEMS- based sensors for compression ignition engines (diesel). The sensors are for chemical composition and mass flow. Markel engineering is currently marketing oxygen and hydrogen sensors.

* Balzers Thin Films (Liechtenstein) and Leybold Systems Optics (Hanau, Germany) have been combined into a single company, Balzers Leybold Optics. The new company, an independent subsidiary of Oerlikon Buhrle (Zurich, Switzerland) will have 600 employees worldwide. In 1998, the combined sales revenues were more than $100 million. The new company combines Balzer's experience in producing thin-film components with Leybold's history of building equipment for thin-film deposition. The company plans to focus on producing filters for telecommunications and optical components for data/video projectors and digital

cameras, as well as automotive and medical components.
