Start with the news release Emerson expands Smart Wireless Field Starter Kit from Emerson Process Management, which we summarised at the time by saying "Emerson has added the Smart Wireless Thum Adapter and wireless position-monitors to its Smart Wireless Field Starter Kit.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release HDI sensors gauge pressures from 10mbar to 5bar from Sensortechnics: "Sensortechnics' HDI sensors measure absolute, differential or gauge pressures in various ranges from 10mbar up to 5bar.".
 
In March 2010, we covered the news from Mecmesin - take a look at Mecmesin helps test cork extraction strength which says: "A specially engineered test system from Mecmesin is helping a cork manufacturer to measure cork extraction strength in order to optimise its products. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from ABB Automation Technologies, ABB provides line protection for residential tower, as well as Techdrives offers BFK457 spring-applied brakes from Techdrives, and Parker releases valve for CNG-powered transport from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK.
