MEMS motion sensor: Bosch
Bosch Sensortec introduces the smallest BMA220 g-sensor in LGA housing. This Triaxial digital sensor reduces surface area 55% over current 3 x 3 mm LGA housings, automatically recognizes specific movements, and needs no external microcontroller for signal analysis. The company says that, at 2 x 2 mm, BMA220 is the smallest digital acceleration sensor in LGA housing in the world.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
