‘Dynamic Braking’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from
EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Liberty University wins simulation software grant from
Simio: "Simio has awarded a USD300,000 (GBP180,000) simulation software grant to the School of Engineering and Computational Science at Liberty University in Virginia.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Ansys
- take a look at Ansys EKM addresses simulation and data management
which says: "Ansys has released its Engineering Knowledge Manager 2.0, a product focused on simulation process and data management (SPDM). ".
Take a look also at the news release from Stemmer Imaging, Stemmer camera has monochrome CCD sensors,
as well as Ingeliance to show aircraft interiors at Aerotech from Ingeliance,
and Bodet to show tachometers for landing gear from Bodet Aero.
