Strange, since a few days I can't see all posts and I am using a big ISP 
(AT&T). It looks like people responding to themselves. For example here 
I could not see Raed's post except in your answer. Does anyone else have 
that issue?

Can you email me at linnix123@yahoo.com?
Thanks.

I have tried buy there is an error ! 
it says: "Address Not Found"

Please find another way to contact you.

TI as well as many others.

Not yet, mainly for commerical use, where price is important.

Now that's cool. MEMS motion sensors. Similar, I suppose, to the TI
electrostatic (?) micro mirror imaging technology. 

Is this a military application?

This is for a custom infra-red motion sensor.

We will be using micro mirrors to focus and track infra-red signals.
The concept is nothing new, but we are building them in microns.
There will be many micromachined mirrors controlled by electro-static
actuators. Using 15V (out of max. 20V process) drivers, we can move
actuators by a few microns.

The ASIC (assisted by an external mutual inductors) will charge pump
and store the energy needed to move the actuators.

I am adding this discussion to sci.electronics.design, where some of
the ideas have been discussed.

Guys, i liked the idea!

Linnix send me an email to info@0-800.tv to discuss it. Do not forget to
put your info. contact.

can not wait to for our discussion.

Will chat tomorrow. 


Good night guys,

Yep. Maybe Raed and you should really talk about it.

The old war grudges seem to be forgotten when it comes to business. Some 
of my designs are in production at a Chinese-Japanese (!) joint venture 
in Shenzen. At first I didn't think that was possible.

Or the moon of shuang jiang in the year of the boar? And avoid the days 
mentioned as problematic in the tong shu almanac ;-)

Guys i can not tell how much i really thank you. Linnix i have just sent
you an email as i would love to hear more in details on this theory.

Please check your email.

Or other customers to share the NRE.  We have customers willing and
able to start doing it.

You must be reading my mind.  The LCD is Japanese technology
implemented in Shenzhen, China.  The ASIC fab is in Shanghai, China.

They speak/write some English, but sometimes you have to guess.  For
example:  "Past 10 months" means "Last October".  That was easy, since
I only met them 6 months ago.
