(Pasadena, CA), a developer of 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. optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. modules, have entered into a technology licensing and manufacturing services agreement. Umachines will license to Sanmina-SCI certain technology for building quality MEMS and other optical networking modules. Sanmina-SCI will provide engineering and contract manufacturing support for Umachines' full line of optical switches, variable optical attenuators An optical attenuator is a device used to reduce the power level of an optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. They are commonly used in fiber optic communications. and other optical networking modules. |
