Me having experience dealing with cloud based tech and consulting and integration services, I realize the need for a secure and consistant cloud service. Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use. Spursh Parikh www.sererra.com

Research and Markets: Reverse Costing Report of the VGA Camera Module Supplied by ST Microelectronics

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7xtptx/stmicro) has announced the addition of the "STMicro Wafer-Level Camera - WLP CIS + Heptagon WL-Optic Reverse Costing" report to their offering.

System Plus Consulting is proud to publish the reverse costing report of the VGA Camera Module supplied by ST Microelectronics for the Nokia 2330 mobile phone. This camera module integrates an 2.2µm pixel CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) from STMicro. The CIS die is manufactured using a CMOS technology with a 0.18µm process. The CIS is Wafer-Level Packaged (WLP) using a TSV "via last" technology. The optical module comes from Heptagon and is manufactured with a wafer-level approach.
