System-Level Applications Make MEMS Ubiquitous.

The article reports that a system-level approach is exciting the technology of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices, which involves the integration of MEMS-based sensors, actuators and structures with functions, like processing and packaging. It mentions that MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes and inertial management units (IMUs) are becoming smaller and sophisticated with better performance.
