We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Design Engineers",
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 Simple guide to hinge selection from
Emka UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Hinge guide covers more than 120 different types of hinges for metal enclosures".
The day before,
we featured the news release Light ball bearings lengthen working lives from
Schaeffler (UK): "The KN B-PP range of ball bearings offers design engineers smoother running characteristics, higher load carrying capacity and up to 50% longer operating life".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Kistler Instruments
concerning its Kistler Instruments multicomponent force plate
- take a look at Force plate tests ejector seats
which says: "Each new ejector seat is tested using a Kistler Instruments dynamic multicomponent force plate mounted in a test enclosure to measure the duration and thrust produced by the burn".
Take a look also at the news release from Smithers Rapra, Mould design guide is backed by experience,
as well as Training centre hosts first flowmeter course from Able Instruments and Controls,
and Innovation beats efficiency from Autodesk.
