CEO and Chief Technology Officer David
Henderson was an invited speaker at the joint symposium of the
International Center for Actuators and Transducers (ICAT) and the
Japan Technology Transfer Association (JTTAS) July 20 in Tokyo.
Henderson’s invited paper was titled, "SQUIGGLE Ultrasonic Linear
Motors: achieving the size, performance, cost and manufacturing
requirements for emerging markets in mobile phone cameras,
electronic locks, medical devices, cars and toys."
Other attendees and speakers included engineers and researchers
from Cannon, Denso, Epson, Fuji film, Honda Electronics, Konika-Minolta,
Mitsubishi Materials, Namiki, NKI Insulators, Panasonic, and other
leading companies in the phone camera, automotive, imaging and other
industries.
"The conference was an excellent opportunity to meet with leading
companies in Japan," Henderson said. "We are honored by the
invitation to speak and the interest in our patented SQUIGGLE motor
technology."
About ICAT
ICAT was established in 1992 at the Pennsylvania State University as a world center for fundamental research on actuator and transducer materials, design and fabrication processes, and applications of solid state actuators to precision machines, micro positioners, ultrasonic motors, and other devices. It provides information transfer to participating companies including New Scale. Regular and guest members include New Scale Technologies, Boeing, Cummins, Delphi-E, DENSO Corporation, EDO Electro-Ceramic Products, Hitachi Metal America, Honda Electronics, Honda R&D, KIMM, KIST, Murata, the Naval Research Lab, NEC-Tokin, OMRON Corporation, Philips, the Research Institute of Science and Technology in Korea, Robert Bosch, Samsung Electromechanics, Siemens, Sunnytec Electronics, Taiheiyo Cement Corporation, TDK, Texas Instruments, Time Engineering, Trek and United Technologies.
About New Scale Technologies
New Scale Technologies (www.newscaletech.com) creates disruptively small
motion systems based on our patented piezoelectric SQUIGGLE® motor, the world’s
smallest linear motorand TRACKER™ position sensor. The ultrasonic SQUIGGLE motor
is smaller, more precise, less expensive, more robust and more power-efficient
than other micro motors. The TRACKER position sensor integrates a magnetic sensor
with on-chip digital encoder, for smaller size and higher resolution than miniature
optical encoders. We create complete motion systems integrating motor and sensor
technology with supporting electronics (ASICs) developed with our partner
austriamicrosystems (www.austriamicrosystems.com).
New Scale’s micro motors, encoders and micro-actuator modules enable design engineers
to create smaller products including mobile phone cameras, electronic locks and
intelligent fasteners, nano-scale fluid control including lab-on-a-chip systems,
medical devices including miniature drug pumps and endoscopes, optics and
imaging systems, automotive modules, lasers, aerospace and defense systems,
cryogenic and MRI-compatible instruments, and consumer electronics including
micro fuel cells.
SQUIGGLE is a registered trademark and TRACKER is a trademark of New Scale Technologies, Inc.
