Start with the news release
SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from
SKF UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics from
HEM Data Corp: "HEM Data has introduced the Dawn Mini Logger, which fits within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard for in-vehicle diagnostics. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK
- take a look at Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging
which says: "Phil Green, at Parker Hannifin's industrial division, explains how the latest nitrogen-generation technology can help food and beverage companies increase their operational efficiency and cut costs. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Watlow, Watlow's Profibus DP simplifies plant design,
as well as Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions from Renishaw,
and NECR showcases careers in engineering from Venture Marketing Group.
