Crossbow Technology, Leaders in Sensor System Technology, Adds New Marketing and Sales Team; New Managers Bring Product Development Experience in Aerospace, Automotive Sectors.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 1999-- Crossbow Technology, Inc., an emerging leader in integrated sensor systems for a broad rage of markets and applications, has bolstered its worldwide staff with the addition of two new sales and marketing managers. Phil Lees has joined Crossbow crossbow: see bow and arrow. crossbow Leading missile weapon of the Middle Ages, consisting of a short bow fixed transversely on a stock, with a groove to guide the missile and a trigger to release it. from BEI Bei (pā, bā), river, c.200 mi (320 km) long, formed by the union of two headstreams in the Nanling Mts., N Guangdong prov., S China. It flows S into the Xi River, E of Guangzhou, to form the Pearl River delta. Systron Donner Inertial Systron Donner Inertial has been a supplier of aerospace inertial sensors and systems for more than fifty years. SDI products include angular rate sensors (MEMS gyroscope), Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), and GPS/INS (GPS-aided INS) systems. Division to spearhead its expanding presence in the aerospace and commercial aviation markets. During his 15 years with BEI, Lees held various senior positions in design engineering and program management for military and aerospace products, and more recently led the marketing effort for commercial and automotive sensors. Prior to joining BEI in 1983, he was employed in the UK by Plessey Communications, Ltd. as a system design engineer. At Crossbow, Phil assumes the newly-created position of sales and marketing manager for inertial products. Jack Rondoni joins Crossbow from Motorola's Semiconductor Products Division in Phoenix following a decade-long career with the communications leader that included a wide range of engineering and marketing positions. From April 1993 until July 1996, he was responsible for bulk micromachined (MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. ) pressure sensors for the industrial and automotive markets. From July 1996 until early 1998, Rondoni led multiple cross-functional teams at Motorola during the development of mixed-mode, CMOS-based acceleration sensors for the automotive air bag industry. Rondoni is Crossbow's new sales and marketing manager for accelerometer accelerometer Instrument that measures acceleration. Because it is difficult to measure acceleration directly, the device measures the force exerted by restraints placed on a reference mass to hold its position fixed in an accelerating body. products. "Phil and Jack bring us exactly the experience we need at Crossbow as we continue our rapid expansion in the medical, automotive, avionics, aerospace and other markets that are ready for advanced, cost-effective sensor technology," said Mike Horton, Crossbow's founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. .
