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 Guide covers specification of rail conduit systems from
Adaptaflex: "A guide to specifying flexible conduit systems for the rail industry has been launched by Adaptaflex.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from European Safety Systems
- take a look at E2S adds trumpet horns to range of warning devices
which says: "The Spectra range of industrial warning devices from European Safety Systems (E2S) now includes 100dB and 110dB trumpet horns designed to provide an effective penetrating low-frequency buzzer sound.".
Take a look also at the news release from Ricardo, Ricardo to help develop automatic transmission,
as well as Softinway to exhibit at Power Gen International from Softinway,
and Saft shows battery technologies for telecom market from Saft Industrial Batteries.
