Source: Crossbow Technology, Inc.
Crossbow Technology, Inc. is the leading producer of embedded measurement sensor and control subsystems that combine the latest in silicon technology with proprietary software expertise. By integrating silicon micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology with the company's digital signal processing (DSP) software architecture, Crossbow is able to create a unique set of acceleration and motion sensing products that are more desirable than traditional electro-mechanical systems due to their lower cost, greater reliability and smaller size.

Crossbow develops, manufactures and markets a wide range of acceleration, tilt, magnetic and inertial sensors and sensor-based analog and digital subsystems. Crossbow's accelerometers deliver high performance in a very small package, providing a low-cost alternative to traditional acceleration sensors. The company's silicon-based tilt sensors are replacing older, vibration sensitive fluid vial sensors. And the company's solid-state gyro products now replace troublesome and costly mechanical gyros.
