Start with the news release
Ansys software helps Ferrari improve comfort from
Ansys, which we summarised at the time by saying "Italian car manufacturer Ferrari is using software from Ansys to optimise automobile design and performance.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process from
Stratophase: "Stratophase has collaborated with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to develop an insertion probe variant of its Spectrosens system. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Verderflex
- take a look at Verderflex Dura pump ensures bubble-free printing
which says: "Peterson Packaging, a Danish printing company, has selected the Verderflex Dura peristaltic pump to gently handle water-based ink.".
Take a look also at the news release from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors), ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills,
as well as Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling from Laser Design,
and Birchwood sealants prevent rust and corrosion from Birchwood Casey.
