Yole Developpement reports growth in consumer devices of between 20 and 30% year to year in 2007.
DEMO Says
Energy consumption is the most important issue facing us in the world today and, in our opinion, the tech sector is uniquely capable of developing innovating solutions. So it is with considerable excitement that we introduce you to Microstaq, a company that has developed an inconspicuous little device that could significantly reduce energy consumption across a number of industries. You may hear some unfamiliar phrases from Microstaq — HVAC, MEMs and macro flows, to name a few — but in the end it’s about 10-20% energy reduction in key areas like heating and cooling, medical devices and cars.
