We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Printed Circuit Boards",
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 Photoelectric sensor takes a more focused view from
Idec Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Backgrounds are ignored and neither the colour nor material of the object has any major effect".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Pressure sensor promises performance and economy from
Futek Advanced Sensor Technology: "OEM pressure sensor is especially suited to applications subject to severe mechanical shock, vibration and electromagnetic interference".
In November 2007, we covered the news from PTC - Parametric Technology (UK)
concerning its PTC Windchill
- take a look at PLM software helps manage electronics development
which says: "Windchill PDMLink provides SEC with an engineering information exchange environment for product specifications, drawings and change management with its extended supply chain".
Take a look also at the news release from BSEF, Flame retardant receives safety check,
as well as Contact springs offer long life from Abssac,
and Caps allow colour coding from PennEngineering.
