PRS for Music CEO Andrea Czapary Martin to Step Down

Just found IADIY.COM as a source for embedded camera lens systems. I've been looking for how to use a surface mount CMOS camera sensor, and it looks like an M5 or M7 lens system from IADIY might work. Just ordered 8 of these super small lens systems, which should each fit within an 8mm by 8mm square for the tip of our pen-like stylus product to allow a blind person to feel visual art through a haptic interface.

Designed a small square CMOS sensor camera board for the tip of a pen-like stylus to enable a blind person to feel visual art through a haptic interface. This PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is only 8mm by 8mm with the CMOS sensor on the front and two FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connectors on the back for connecting this board to another board along the length of the pen.

I'm looking at a potential camera for our first accessibility tool. It's a 60 FPS 640x480 color camera with a parallel output. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like the specifications for configuring it are publicly disclosed in the available datasheet.

Electronics idea.
There are opamps with bipolar junction transistors (BJT) in the input stage.
There are others with junction field-effect transistors (JFET) in the input stage.
There are yet others with metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET) [1] in the input stage.
Idea: find an application for the bizarre possibility of an opamp with insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) in the input stage. This is more stunt-designing than anything practical.
[1] IIUC, "CMOS" opamps are really just MOSFET-input opamps. I'm not sure why the process technology name is more commonly used rather than the device type as is universally used for BJT and JFET input opamps.
