MLX90316 wins Best of Sensors 2006 Gold Award

18 September 2006

Questex Media Group, Inc. announced the recipients of the Sensors magazine “Best of Sensors Expo” Awards, honoring the most exciting new products on display at Sensors Expo & Conference, taking place at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.

The editors of Sensors presented gold, silver, bronze, and honorable mention awards to 14 exhibitors in four categories: Sensors; Sensor Components; Data Acquisition Products; Communications & Networking Products. Exhibitors submitted new product nominations and entries were judged on the basis of potential impact, application, distinctiveness, timeliness, and availability.

This year’s panel of judges was comprised of the magazine’s editorial staff, members of the editorial advisory board, and industry experts, including Barbara Goode, Editor in Chief; Stephanie L. Henkel, Executive Editor; Melanie Martella, Senior Editor; Contributing Editors Tom Kevan, Ed Ramsden, and Wayne Manges; plus Deb Lickness, of John Deere and Strether Smith of Structural/Signal Analysis Consultants.

“This year’s pool of entrants was exceptionally sophisticated,” says Barbara Goode. “That made judging difficult—but it means a higher quality array of products for sensor buyers.”

Melexis, Inc.: MlX90316 Rotary Position Sensor IC, the subject of a Sensors magazine feature story in March 2006, is a novel CMOS Hall effect sensor that can sense all three magnetic flux density components at a single point, and provide noncontact position sensing in harsh environments—a feat not viable with other technologies. It is designed for contactless rotary position sensing, which is frequently required in automotive and industrial applications.
