We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Design Specification",
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 Stress free spring design and specification from
Lee Spring, which we summarised at the time by saying "Adam Binding explains the key factors that need to be considered when specifying Springs".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Thin-film pressure sensor technology comes of age from
Sensor-Technik UK: "Morten Moller reviews the development of thin-film pressure sensor technology, and concludes the time is right to offer standard thin film sensors in a simple package at a low price".
In February 2007, we covered the news from CSE Servelec
- take a look at SCADA monitors water company assets
which says: "UK Systems Integrator, CSE Servelec, is set to provide Phase B of the GBP2.5 million Enterprise SCADA solution, providing Severn Trent with a system that monitors and controls its operational assets".
Take a look also at the news release from DCM Group, Laser cutter makes clutch mechanism part,
as well as Severn Trent Water awards Scada contract from CSE Servelec,
and Monitors keep watch over asset performance from Invensys.
