We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Embedded Control",
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 Data acquisition modules offer two 32bit counters from
ICP DAS USA, which we summarised at the time by saying "The M-7080B incorporates a battery back-up system that will save the EEPROM in the event of power loss".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release PC integrates LCD and touch panel from
Audon Electronics: "The Cutouch CT1721 allows users to quickly develop HMI devices for industrial machines, factory temperature controllers, packing machines, robots and embedded control".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Sorion Electronics
concerning its Rigel VCi3 the latest diagnostics controller
- take a look at Diagnostic controller suits automotive use
which says: "The Sorion Rigel VCi3 is a micro-processor-based system that is designed for the communicating, controlling and testing of bus- based vehicle systems and sub-systems".
Take a look also at the news release from National Instruments, Design award goes to University of Tulsa,
as well as Automation controllers suit many applications from United Electronic Industries,
and Touch panel computer works with LabView from National Instruments.
