‘Emergency Lighting’

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 Jena Tec offers ballscrew repair discount from Jena Rotary Technology: "Jena Tec can repair ballscrews of any make, type or configuration, with whichever type of ballscrew transfer system.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Hamamatsu Photonics - take a look at CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing which says: "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a 12-bit digital output colour sensor photo IC. ".

Take a look also at the news release from IFM Electronic, IFM releases safety monitors for AS-interface, as well as Fluke offers trial promotion of Ti9 thermal imager from Fluke (UK), and Eaton launches Memshield 3 distribution boards from Eaton.
