Magnetometers are nearly ubiquitous in today’s world, fueling applications as diverse as medical diagnostics and self-driving cars. The most sensitive magnetometers, however, can only operate at extreme temperatures and in a shielded environment that isolates the sensor from ambient magnetic fields. Sonera Magnetics is developing a magnetometer that can operate at room temperature and in portable form factors with sensitivity comparable to the best magnetic sensors available today, dramatically increasing potential applications.
SMART Pad is commercializing a completely redesigned Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) pad for the semiconductor industry. CMP processes have not changed much since their introduction by IBM in 1983, consisting of polyurethane polishing pads, polishing slurries with abrasive particles and pad conditioners for pad resurfacing.
SMART Pad co-founder Sunghoon Lee developed the company's foundational technology while earning his PhD in the lab of UC Berkeley Professor of Mechanical Engineering David Dornfeld.
Discera develops and markets micro-electrical mechanical system-based timing solutions for consumer, enterprise, industrial, and communication markets. The company offers timing and clock oscillators, including differential, standard, high stability high temp, programmable, and miniature oscillators; and multi-output clock generators, I2C/SPI programmable oscillators, and pin configurable and programmable oscillators. The company's products are used in the mobile market, including smartphones, tablets, and E-readers.

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. Rpger 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.
Developer of Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) contour mode resonator technology - small electromechanical structures that vibrate at high frequencies - for filtering and clock synthesis. MEMS resonators are used for timing references, signal filtering, mass sensing, biological sensing, motion sensing, and other diverse applications.
Measuring changes in temperature and strain distributed along the length of an optical fiber with Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry for civil engineering projects.

mFluiDx is aiming to develop the world’s lowest cost, automated point-of-care DNA diagnostic assay for small clinics. In small clinics, such as primary care out-patient clinics, disease diagnosis is typically done by observing symptoms or using paper-strip antibody tests. However, these methods have poor sensitivity compared to DNA diagnostics. Highly sensitive molecular DNA tests (PCR) are not often used because of cost and the need to send tests off-site resulting in a slow turnaround time (several days).

Developer of miniature bioreactor technology platforms. The company offers improved cell fermentation and cultivation productivity services. It develops and operates Micro-24, fermentation and cell culture system which runs up to 24 simultaneous experiments with independent control of each reactor's gas supply, temperature, and pH.
Microreactor Technologies, Inc. was acquired by Pall Corporation (NYSE: PLL), a global leader in filtration, separation and purification, in 2010.
