(technical difficulty) -- While today, these applications are a small part of our sales, those show important growth opportunities for the future. To capture these opportunities, we continue to launch dedicated new products for beyond automotive application.
In the second quarter, we have added a temperature sensor, which enables high accuracy and cost-effective solution across household, industrial and AI-driven applications.
We have also leveraged our Triaxis technology to launch a magnetic position sensor for joystick and human machine interface applications. This innovation allows for accurate operation even in applications with high magnetic interference. This makes it a unique feature for joystick and steering system in heavy machinery, medical device and automation equipment, where safety is critical.
