Honeywell Introduces New Magnetic Sensor/Amplifier.Honeywell Introduces the HMC HMC Harvey Mudd College (Claremont, CA) HMC Harborview Medical Center (Seattle, Washington) HMC Hosted Messaging and Collaboration HMC Hoffman Modulation Contrast 6042 Magnetic Sensor Plus (www.magneticsensors.com), A Magnetic Hybrid Sensor/Amplifier That Will Simplify the Design and Improve the Performance of Small Portable Products Like Compass Watches, Global Positioning System Global Positioning System: see navigation satellite. Global Positioning System (GPS) Precise satellite-based navigation and location system originally developed for U.S. military use. (GPS) Receivers, and Wireless Telephones MINNEAPOLIS -- Honeywell (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :HON) announced today that it has developed a new magnetic hybrid sensor/amplifier (www.magneticsensors.com) that will simplify design and improve the performance of small portable products such as compass watches, personal Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, and wireless telephones. The HMC6042 Magnetic Sensor Plus incorporates small sensors
Contained in a small (3.6- by 5- by 1-mm) surface-mount leadless (SML 1. SML - Standard ML. 2. SML - Small Machine Language. Barnes, ICI 1969. Real-time language, an ALGOL variant, and the predecessor of RTL. "SML User's Guide", J.G.P. Barnes, ICI, TR JGPB/69/35 (1969). ) chip carrier package, the HMC6042 eliminates the requirement to assemble and integrate a variety of smaller, individual or discrete components An elementary electronic device constructed as a single unit. Before integrated circuits (chips), all transistors, resistors and diodes were discrete. They are widely used in amplifiers and other devices that use large amounts of current. , to complete the analog portion of such devices. "This latest addition to our magnetic sensor product line will make the design and production of a vast array of small, general use and precision product applications less costly to assemble, and more capable and efficient to use," said Mark Amundson, Applications Engineer for Honeywell's Solid State Electronics Center. "The HMC6042 is a 2-axis sensor specifically designed for the quick set/reset and fast power-on and power-off functionality requirements of small portable compassing, motion detection, pointing, and detection devices. It consumes less than a milli-ampere of current under typical operational conditions and it's also compatible with additional sensors for use in 3-axis, tilt-compensating systems." Honeywell's complete family of magnetic, sensor-based products offers high sensitivity for accurate electronic compassing, magnetometry, telematics Originally coined to mean the convergence of telecommunications and information processing, the term later evolved to refer to automation in automobiles. GPS navigation, integrated hands-free cellphones, wireless communications and automatic driving assistance systems all come under the , vehicle detection, position sensing and security systems.
