We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Continuous Development",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Testing company launches training programme from
Epsilon Test Services, which we summarised at the time by saying "Epsilon is now over half way through its programme of assessment to ensure that all 60 of its periodic test engineers achieve Qualifying Supervisor status".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Possibly the best pressure sensor ever made from
Presens: "Pressure sensor based on advanced digital MEMS technology is ideal for applications that require high accuracy, low drift and high resolution".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Materialise
concerning its Mimics 11 image processing software
- take a look at Image processing software updated
which says: "Mimics 11 creates accurate 3D structures from scanned images, reducing memory consumption by 30% in comparison to earlier versions of the software".
Take a look also at the news release from Sick (UK), Drive hub eases size changes,
as well as Product overview brochure details new additions from Impac Infrared,
and Training company sponsors competition from Festo.
