‘Semiconductors’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Barden provides super-precision bearings from Barden Corporation, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Barden Corporation offers custom-designed, super-precision bearings for use in a wide variety of high-performance air handling systems. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Newport develops micromachining workstation from Newport Spectra-Physics: "Newport Corporation has introduced a micromachining workstation specifically designed for high-precision laser direct writing (LDW) and patterning. ".

In August 2009, we covered the news from Keithley Instruments - take a look at Keithley enhances its ACS Basic Edition software which says: "Keithley Instruments has announced its ACS Basic Edition software now supports a broader line of source-measure (SMU) instrumentation. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Institution of Engineering and Technology, IET releases second-edition control handbook, as well as Control Techniques releases motor control handbook from Control Techniques, and Bosch ESPpremium system features Flexray interface from Bosch Automotive OE Division.
