We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Remote Control",
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 Zigbee products clear the cable clutter from
IDC - Intelligent Distributed Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "IDC's family of ZigBee products is designed around the company's ZB108 OEM module, which features a complete system-on-chip (SoC)".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Data logging protects 13 tonne chain from
Renold Chain: "Smartlink consists of a strain gauge linked to a microprocessor which collects data about the stresses and forces the chain is exposed to during the lowering and raising of the barrier".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Murex Welding Products
concerning its Transtig AC/DC 253iS
- take a look at Cutting the cost of industrial welding
which says: "The Transtig AC/DC 253iS is state of the art welding package offering excellent welding characteristics and performance in both AC and DC modes".
Take a look also at the news release from Renold Chain, Chain diagnostics cover more applications,
as well as Remote controller takes on maritime duties from Bosch Rexroth - Electric Drives and Controls,
and Software suits demanding thermal analysis from Cedip Infrared Systems.
