Gentex and InterSense announced this week that Gentex has acquired substantially all assets of InterSense. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The agreement to acquire InterSense, a developer of MEMS based hybrid motion tracking systems, advances Gentex' growth strategy and expands the company's capabilities to address the growing demand for precision motion tracking and situational awareness capabilities in military and non-military markets.
Two common types of hearing loss suffered by millions of people worldwide are sensorineural hearing loss and conductive hearing loss. The former is caused primarily by damage to the cochlea, the snail-shell like structure of the inner ear containing hair cells, the movement of which is interpreted by the brain as sound. On the other hand, conductive hearing loss relates to problems with conducting sound waves along the route between the outer ear to the middle ear, and may occur along with sensorineural hearing loss. This article examines MEMS based approaches to improving the ability to hear.
