We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Automotive sector",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Sensor chip detects motion from
Elmos Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Up to four emitters and one compensator can be controlled with Elmos' E909.05 sensor interface chip".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Switch provides tactile feedback from
Knitter Switch: "Because the switch incorporates a silicone dome, there is no audible click during operation but there is excellent tactile feedback".
In December 2007, we covered the news from IMS Research
- take a look at Automotive sector to see huge LED growth
which says: "The LED value from external automotive lamps is predicted to rise from a third of the LED total to over a half by 2013".
Take a look also at the news release from Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ford integrates Bluetooth for hands free,
as well as HDDs make the automotive grade from Toshiba Europe Storage Device Division,
and Development system adds Infineon MCU support from Hitex Development Tools.
