We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Semiconductors",
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 Automation fieldbuses change the world quietly from
CC-Link Partner Association, which we summarised at the time by saying "Steve Jones, General Manager of the CC-Link Partner Association, reviews the principles of fieldbus communications and looks at the advantages".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Poles attract research and development from
Frost and Sullivan: "Poland has emerged as the research and development centre of Central and Eastern Europe".
In October 2007, we covered the news from ABB Power Technologies
concerning its ABB Statcoms
- take a look at Static compensators fitted at wind farms
which says: "ABB Statcoms will provide Nordex with real-time, reactive power compensation within a compact installation footprint".
Take a look also at the news release from Yokogawa Europe - Industrial Automation, Paperless recorders handle many channels,
as well as Soft starters incorporate a bypass contactor from Carlo Gavazzi,
and Motors autofocus cameras from Heason Technologies Group.
