Slideshow: 'MEMS Inside the Machine'

The MEMS Industry Group (MIG) has announced its six finalists for MEMS Technology Showcase, which will take place at MEMS Executive Congress US 2012 on November 8 in Scottsdale, Ariz.

MEMS Technology Showcase gives attendees an inside look at some of the most promising and fascinating MEMS-enabled apps in the business, according to MIG.

Each finalist will get five minutes to "wow" the audience, who will vote for their favorite product via text message or the new MEMS Executive Congress mobile app. Moderator Shawn G. DuBravac, chief economist and senior director of research of the Consumer Electronics Association, will both host the Showcase and "crown" the winner at the end of the day.
