For 30 years, Boris Yamnitsky has collected the unglamorous tools that make glamorous images possible. The result is a private software portfolio that sits inside Hollywood's favorite workflows - from a disappearing wire to a repaired soundtrack.
TDK InvenSense designs the tiny MEMS sensors that let machines feel the physical world - motion, sound, pressure and ultrasound. Founded in San Jose in 2003 and acquired by Japan's TDK Corporation in 2017, it pioneered the integrated 6-axis IMU and ships motion, microphone and ultrasonic sensors into smartphones, wearables, drones, cars, robots and industrial systems. Its work pairs CMOS-MEMS hardware with proprietary fusion firmware and increasingly edge AI, turning raw physics into usable signals for billions of devices.
