Siimpel Corporation has been in the business of innovation since its original founding in 2000 as SiWave. With a heritage from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a background in high-precision navigation grade MEMS sensors, the company has maintained a leadership in technology. In its short history, Siimpel Corporation created the smallest high port count optical switches in the world, packaged MEMS components for NASA's Mars rovers, developed the world's first MEMS horizon sensor, developed the highest precision laser ranging system, and created the world's smallest stages using MEMS technology. A recipient of the ATP (advanced technology program) award from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), Siimpel is proud of its history of ground breaking innovation.
Since 2004, Siimpel has been applying the high precision MEMS platform technology to enable the drastic reduction in size of high performance digital cameras.«Less

| Name: | Autofocus |
| Product URL: | http://www.siimpel.com/autofocus.html |
| Description: | Autofocus corrects for variations in the distance to the object as well as variations in the lens with temperature. As the object distance changes or the temperature of the optics changes, the image can become blurry and loose its sharpness. Autofocus recovers the sharpness by adjusting the position of lenses. SiimpelFocus technology achieves this by precisely moving a lens using a MEMS stage. This ensures precise and rapid movement, leading to industry leading optical performance and reduced lag time in the smallest form factor. |
