Beloved Priest Abbe Pierre Accused Of Sexual Assault

File photo dated August 8, 1999 shows French humanist Abbe Pierre. Legendary French priest and a life-long advocate of the homeless was accused of committing acts that would amount to “sexual assault or sexual harassment,” the international foundation he established said in a statement Wednesday. Abbe Pierre, who died in 2007, was one of France’s most beloved public figures. The founder of the international Emmaus Community for the poor, Abbe Pierre had served as France’s conscience since the 1950s, when he persuaded Parliament to pass a law, still on the books, forbidding landlords to evict tenants during winter.

Board with high-precision angular rate sensor (right) and MEMS sensor mounted.

Sumitomo Seimitsu Industries, Ltd. and Collins Aerospace Corporation of the U.S. will increase the production capacity of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors by up to five times the current level by 2024. In addition to conventional products such as inertial sensors for aerospace applications, contract production of various sensors required for automation of factories and machines will grow significantly. Silicon Sensing Systems (SSSL, Plymouth), an English subsidiary established by the two companies in 1999 with a 50% stake each, has its sole production base at the headquarters of Sumitomo Precision Products. As the first phase of the expansion, the plant will be moved to another building by August 2008, and expanded to 3,000 square meters, about twice the current size. In addition to a clean room, etching and sputtering equipment will be added, doubling the production capacity.
