Sensors Expo – Best of Show Award

Silicon Sensing has been awarded a Bronze Sensors “Best of Sensors Expo” award in the Sensors category.

Silicon Sensing won its award for its CRS09 single axis rate gyro.  This addition to its portfolio offers performance levels hitherto unachievable in a silicon MEMS gyro.  Its performance characteristics make ‘north-seeking’ achievable which, combined with the inherent ruggedness of Silicon Sensing’s product range, makes the gyro ideal for navigation in hostile environments such as down-well drilling.

The Sensors “Best of Sensors Expo” awards honoured the most exciting new products that were on display at the Sensors Expo & Conference, which took place at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL in June 2009. All entries were judged on the basis of potential impact, application, distinctiveness, timeliness, and availability.

This panel of judges were comprised of the magazine’s editorial staff, members of the editorial advisory board, and industry experts including Melanie Martella, executive editor of Sensors; Deborah Lickness, John Deere; and Ed Ramsden, a member of Sensors‘ editorial advisory board and principal of Sensorlytics LLC.

“The awards program recognizes cutting-edge solutions in the sensors marketplace,” said Martella. “All of the nominations demonstrated exceptional innovation, integration, and ease-of-use. We believe this year’s winners will be leaders in the sensors marketplace and offer our congratulations to the companies recognized.”
