Espoo, Finland - The Board of Directors of Nokian eläkesäätiö (Nokia Pension Fund) has decided to transfer the statutory pension liability of Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks in Finland to the pension insurance companies Ilmarinen and Varma, respectively, as of March 1, 2008.
This transfer does not affect the level or scope of the statutory pension security and it does not have an impact on personnel at either Nokia or Nokia Siemens Networks. By transferring the administration of the pension funds to Ilmarinen and Varma, Nokia and Nokia Siemens Network can focus their human resources planning on more proactive measures such as maintaining and improving personnel’s working capacity and well-being at work.
At the end of 2007, Nokia Pension Fund’s total statutory pension liability to be transferred is expected to be approximately EUR 1.2 billion.
STMicroelectronics, a leading supplier of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) devices, introduced a new solution extending its family of ultra-compact ‘low-g’ linear accelerometers with a three-axis analog-output sensor. Ideally suited for battery-powered and space-constrained portable devices, such as mobile phones, portable media players, PDAs or remote controls, the LIS344AL is a cost-sensitive MEMS solution in an ultra-compact square footprint operating with low power consumption.
The single-package approach protects a robust three-axis MEMS sensor and a CMOS interface chip that provides tilting and motion information, independent of the device’s orientation, thanks to the three-axis sensing capabilities.
The LIS344AL estimates acceleration values at a very low noise level with minimized power consumption, which is especially critical in battery-operated portable systems. The new accelerometer is housed in an inexpensive 4 x 4 x 1.5mm plastic package to fit in a variety of space-constrained applications and its ultra-compact, robust design provides shock survivability up to 10,000g.
