markets. This gyro remains a best-selling product and has gained an excellent reputation as an ultra-reliable (0ppm return – last 3 years), precise and affordable MEMS sensor.Building on the strengths of PinPoint Silicon Sensing has developed its thin film sputtering material and process technology to an advanced level. Silicon Sensing is supplying its PZT film to a global customer base for use in many varied MEMS devices such as mirrors, inkjet printhead nozzles and acoustic devices. In many cases Silicon Sensing is an enabler for the transition from use of bulk piezo-electric

Statoil, DNV GL Drive Subsea Factory Interface Standardization
Statoil has entered into an agreement with DNV GL to establish an industrial cooperation to introduce an international industry standard for subsea process technology. DNV GL will lead a joint industry project (JIP) with important subsea operators to find industrial standards which will make it more profitable to develop larger projects with subsea processing technology. Today, subsea developments are characterized by tailor-made solutions. Subsea pumps have been used in many oil fields, and the first subsea compression systems will be installed in 2014 to increase gas production from the
