An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers from Sherborne Sensors: "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from National Instruments - take a look at NI expands HIL simulation platform which says: "National Instruments (NI) has announced the expansion of its hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platform, which includes numerous products to optimise embedded system validation. ".

Take a look also at the news release from European Safety Systems, E2S adds trumpet horns to range of warning devices, as well as IFM releases safety monitors for AS-interface from IFM Electronic, and Namur approves Wirelesshart for process uses from Hart Communication Foundation.
