Headquartered in Fremont, CA, Silicon Clocks was founded in 2006 to develop high performance semiconductor timing and sensor designs and its patented CMEMS(TM) technology. Silicon Clocks was backed by leading venture investors including Tallwood Venture Capital, Charles River Ventures, Formative Ventures, Lux Capital and Silicon Labs.
The company was co-founded by Dr. Roger Howe, former co-director of the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center and UC Berkeley Professor of Electrical Engineering, and BSAC post-doctoral researcher Emmanuel Quevy.
For almost two decades, Luminus has worked with the community of light to solve its most challenging problems. For much of its first decade Luminus focused on improving energy efficiency, light output, the quality of light, and longevity, and developing new form factors to address the needs in many different application areas including architectural and urban, displays and projection, horticulture and illumination.
Having successfully addressed technology challenges, Luminus has been working with lighting designers to make sure that the company's LED technology can...

OmniTact was founded to commercialize a robotic manipulation sensor designed by researchers at UC Berkeley. The sensor uses micro-cameras to detect multi-directional deformations of a gel-based skin. It is designed to be used as a fingertip for robotic manipulation with robotic hands, and uses multiple micro-cameras to detect multi-directional deformations. This provides a rich signal from which a variety of different contact state variables can be inferred using modern image processing and computer vision methods.
