Gentles, all-- Forrest Warthman (who authored the 2003 "DTN Tutorial" and the 2012 update to that document) is asking whether or not DTNRG would be interested in participating in the development of standards for sensors in mobile environments by joining in a working group of the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance. If anyone is interested (and I don't see how someone on this list would not be), please respond... I've cc'd Forrest. Mike Snell ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Warthman Associates <forrest@warthman.com>- Date: Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 9:45 AM Subject: Fwd: MIPI Alliance September 2012 Member Newsletter To: Mike Snell <mjjsnell@gmail.com> Mike, For the past seven years, my technical writing group has been editing standards specifications for the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance, a large group of companies producing products for the cell phone industry. The Alliance is now forming a new group focused on sensors in mobile environments. Do you think the DTN group would be interested in joining this MIPI group? If so, I invite you to contact them.

Click here<http://mipialliance.createsend1.com/t/y-l-jjjtjky-gilkrkin-j/> and enter access code *682 141 871* to join the call. In addition, the group will meet on 18 October, during the MIPI F2F meeting 15-19 October in Miami, FL. Click here<http://mipialliance.createsend1.com/t/y-l-jjjtjky-gilkrkin-t/> to register. Please plan to join us if you are able! MIPI WELCOMES 15 NEW MEMBERS DURING JULY/AUGUST The summer months were not slow for membership in MIPI Alliance. 15 new Adopter members joined our ranks in July/August, bringing the total number of MIPI member companies to 240. A complete list of new members since June 2012 can be found here<http://mipialliance.createsend1.com/t/y-l-jjjtjky-gilkrkin-i/> . *New MIPI Member Companies* Richtek Technology Corp. iCatch Technology Guangdong Nufront CSC Co. Alcor Micro Corp. Newlans, Inc. CamPlex LLC HCL Technologies Ltd. Lytro, Inc. Compound Photonics BYD Microelectronics Co., Ltd. Soitek, Inc. Black Sand Technologies, Inc. Infinite Z Silicon Optronics, Inc. M31 Technology Corp. RECENT MIPI ECOSYSTEM SURVEY PROVIDES INSIGHT AND OPPORTUNITIES MIPI Alliance recently completed an extensive review of its member company ecosystem. The Board of Directors commissioned Dr. Eric Esteve (IPNest) to conduct the research, highlighting areas such as specification adoption, geographical distribution and general success of MIPI in the mobile device market. The analysis was completed using member information publicly available on company websites. The conclusion and editorial statements contained within the report are those of Dr. Esteve. The resulting research report offers a valuable look at the MIPI ecosystem, its growth by company type/size, and trends in specification support by ecosystem segments. We are pleased to share this information with you and hope that it will prove useful. The report can be accessed with the MIPI Member Area here<http://mipialliance.createsend1.com/t/y-l-jjjtjky-gilkrkin-d/> . Please note that this research report is MIPI Alliance Confidential for MIPI Member use only. Public distribution, and distribution to non-MIPI Members, is not permitted.

All MIPI member companies are welcome to join. The BoF will also be open to non-MIPI member companies. We are announcing the group's formation to the MEMS Industry Group (MIG), Microelectronic Packaging and Test Engineering Council (MEPTEC) and MEMS Business Forum. Our goal is to encourage key sensor ecosystem companies to participate and share their input. BoF participants will meet to discuss the requirements related to integrating sensor devices in mobile systems, and to develop a whitepaper on the issue. Specifically, the Sensor BoF will explore an area that represents both a problem and a possible opportunity: how diverse sensors are integrated into the system and how they are managed, from mechanical (compasses and accelerometers), to environmental (light and temperature), to biometrics (blood pressure, fingerprints). Camera sensors aren't included in the BoF discussions and will remain the scope of the MIPI Camera Working Group. Currently, there might be dozens of sensors in a system, through current interfaces don't appear to be very scalable, and they are frequently not interoperable. MIPI offers specifications to the industry in many areas, and this might prove to be another valuable area of activity. The MIPI Board has asked Miguel Barasch (Qualcomm) and Satwant Singh (Lattice Semiconductor) to serve as the Sensor BoF Chair and Vice-Chair respectively. Miguel and Satwant encourage your active participation, if this area is of interest to you and your company. *To join the Sensor BoF:* 1. Log onto https://members.mipi.org<http://mipialliance.createsend1.com/t/y-l-jjjtjky-gilkrkin-m/> 2. Click "Forums" at the top of any Workspace page 3. Scoll down the alphabetical list to "Sensor BoF Group" 4. Enable the "Subscribe" checkbox for the Forum 5. Click "Update" at the bottom of the page 6. You will be added to the email reflector (sensor-bof@mipi.org) and will be notified of upcoming meetings, etc. Mobile World Congress 2013 Call For Participation Now Open Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013 will be bigger and better than ever, with a new venue and more room for exhibitors. The Barcelona, Spain event will be held 25-28 February 2013 in the Fira Gran Via with an anticipated attendance of over 70,000 people. You can learn more about the event here<http://mipialliance.createsend1.com/t/y-l-jjjtjky-gilkrkin-c/> . MIPI Alliance will again host a partner booth featuring our member companies, their products and services. Our current booth is located in Hall 8.1, stand E46 and is 40 sq. meters. This space is larger than last year's booth - allowing us to accommodate more members and demos. The objective of the MIPI Alliance booth is: - Demonstrate the benefit of mobile interface specifications We will achieve this objective through the following strategies: - Visually show breadth/depth of MIPI member ecosystem - Display adoption of older MIPI specifications in released products, or implementation of new MIPI specifications in functional demos - Highlight the testability/interoperability of MIPI-based products We issued the Call for Participation (CFP) on 5 September, along with a marketing plan outlining the available options for members. We have expanded the member opportunities this year, including both "manned" (requiring staff from the participating company) and "unmanned" (no company staff required). Some opportunities are available for only one member company, while other opportunities have no limit to the number of participants. If you are interested in participating with us, send an email to marcia.barnett@mipi.org. I will confirm your request via email and issue you a contract. Slots will be available on a first come/ first serve basis, and we will make every attempt to accommodate members' requests. We hope you will join us for another successful event.
