Start with the news release
Navy warships equipped with Rotork actuators from
Rotork Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "Royal Navy warships are being equipped with the latest Rotork intelligent electric valve actuators for rapid-reaction fire-protection duties. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Souriau connector is ingress protection rated from
Souriau: "Souriau has added a sealed plastic open face connector for printed circuit boards to its UTS range.".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Bulgin Components
- take a look at Bulgin Bluetooth products eliminate data cables
which says: "The self-pairing Bluetooth cable replacement products from Bulgin eliminate data cables and allow equipment with RS485 or RS232 data ports to communicate using wireless Bluetooth technology. ".
Take a look also at the news release from IFM Electronic, Pressure sensors include enhanced sealing system,
as well as Souriau configurator allows on-line ordering from Souriau,
and LVDT sensors available on four-week delivery from Applied Measurements.
