#MEMS: "Bosch satisfies consumer dream"

Future wearable electronics--from smart hearing aids to clothing that charges your batteries--will be enabled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week when the world's smallest three-axis accelerometer complements Bosch Sensortec's first nine-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) running sensor fusion algorithms on an integrated 32-bit microcontroller: R.
