We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Patent Pending",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Super-tough enclosures top 300 options from
Spelsberg els UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rugged glass-fibre-reinforced polyester enclosures offer a versatile solution for any application that calls for a high degree of protection from corrosion or other environmental
conditions".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Airflow sensor isn't so dusty from
TTI Europe: "MEMS-based airflow sensor delivers one-way or bidirectional sensing with amplified output in a highly compact package".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Spelsberg els UK
concerning its Stahlin enclosures
- take a look at Plastic enclosures survive UV exposure
which says: "All Stahlin products are moulded from Spelsberg's patent pending SolarGuard SMC formulation, delivering both strength and extremely high protection from UV degradation".
Take a look also at the news release from Servotechnic, Linear actuators offer 0.9 degree step angle,
as well as Hinges allow temporary positioning from Elesa (UK),
and Actuators replace bulky mechanisms from Servotechnic.
