Start with the news release Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers from Sherborne Sensors, which we summarised at the time by saying "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Hepcomotion rings produced in dedicated cell from Hepcomotion: "Hepcomotion is able to supply single-piece rings in diameters up to 1.8m, which are produced in a dedicated machining cell, giving improved lead times. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Animatics - take a look at OEMDynamics enhances linear belt drive which says: "OEMDynamics, a division of Animatics, has announced enhanced features on the HLD 60-H3 actuator. ".
