Chirp Microsystems MEMS-based Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Sensor for Automotive and Industrial Applications
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/tdk-mems-based-ultrasonic-time-of-flight-sensor
A Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor works by sending out a signal (usually ultrasound or light) and waiting for it to bounce back from an obstacle and return to the sensor. The distance to the object can then be calculated from the time it took for the signal to return.

Moore’s Law is Dead. What Happens Next?
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/moores-law-is-dead.-what-happens-next
Since 1965, computer engineers have lived by the words of Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the density of transistors that can be crammed onto a chip will double every 12 months. But, Moore’s Law is more of an observation and an extrapolation of trends than a genuine law of nature. Technology struggled to keep up and, within a decade, the optimistic 12-month prediction had extended to 18 months then, later, to 24 months.
