mPhase Technologies (OTC:XDSL)
today announced it has reached an agreement with the Bell Labs research and
development arm of Lucent Technologies (NYSE:LU) to co-develop and commercialize
uncooled magnetic ultra-sensitive sensors for a host of defense and civilian
applications.
The sensors, technically referred to as magnetometers, are based on Micro
Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), using designs based on fundamental
breakthroughs made in the past few years at Bell Labs using the facilities of
the New Jersey Nanotechnology Consortium (NJNC). Initial tests of these MEMS
magnetometers indicate sensitivities 1000 times those achieved in presently
available uncooled magnetometers. Based on MEMS technology, these devices will
be small, rugged, and inexpensive and will create a new generation of uncooled
ultrasensitive magnetic field sensors.
