According to EDN ELMOS employees can vote for an ELMOS chip.

Please vote for the E909.06 – if we win this prize it would be a great success for ELMOS!

HALIOS® (High Ambient Light Independent Optical System) fulfils optical sensor dreams.
The outstanding innovation of this optical measurement principle, which is able to detect any movement by light reflection in all three dimensions, is its absolute immunity to influences by ambient light, even direct sunlight.
Furthermore, the HALIOS® system is self-regulating, compensating any factors of influence like ageing or extreme variations in temperature.
Due to their absolute ambient light immunity, HALIOS® systems open up completely new application areas for optical sensors and input devices.
Despite their extremely small building size, those sensors and input devices are able to recognize movements in all three dimensions."

Довелось мне как-то на них поработать, чуть было даже успешно не напросилась к ним в Karlsruhe...:))
впрочем, уж RAM они там точно пользуют, а это мойо:))
