Start with the news release
Watlow's Profibus DP simplifies plant design from
Watlow, which we summarised at the time by saying "Watlow has brought out the Profibus DP (Decentralized Peripherals) with EZ-Zone PM and EZ-Zone RM integrated temperature controllers. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release NECR showcases careers in engineering from
Venture Marketing Group: "The National Engineering and Construction Recruitment Exhibition (NECR) will be held at the NEC, Birmingham on 27 and 28 November 2009.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from BNS Nuclear Services
- take a look at BNS inspects British Energy AGR stations
which says: "Increasing graphite core inspection requirements has led to a British Energy review of how to approach the inspection of its AGR reactor channels without extending reactor outages. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Ingersoll-Rand European Sales, Ingersoll Rand introduces desiccant dryers,
as well as Fastpack drives cut energy use in fans and pumps from Micromech,
and Engineering service determines how to reduce costs from Rittal.
