Tower Semi, InfoLogix: Volume Movers

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Tower Semiconductor (TSEM) was one of several stocks trading near $5 poised to move on above-average volume Monday after the company's subsidiary said it has been selected to help manufacture next-generation consumer 3-D image sensors.

TowerJazz, the collective operated by Tower Semiconductor and subsidiary Jazz Semiconductor, said Monday that 3-D sensor company Canesta is using TowerJazz's CMOS image sensor (CIS) technology to manufacture its innovative CanestaVision 3-D image sensors. The companies said that 3-D image sensors are "critically important to evolve to natural user interfaces for complex consumer electronic products."

Elsewhere, InfoLogix (IFLG) shares fell by 17 cents, or 2.9%, to $5.75 in Friday's aftermarket session following an active week for the company's stock.

A day later, InfoLogix said its accounting firm McGladrey & Pullen was resigning, effective immediately.
