We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Sensing Technology",
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 Hydrogen monitors are intrinsically safe from
Quantitech, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Hy-Alerta 1600 hydrogen area monitor and Hy-Optima 1700 hydrogen process monitor are now available for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Free fastener guide eases installation from
Spirol Industries: "The Spirol CD provides full technical details of the all the Spirol automation products together with video guides for each product range".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Penny + Giles
concerning its Finger-operated joystick controllers
- take a look at Joysticks provide fingertip control
which says: "Extensive range of products for precision control of critical functions in a wide range of industrial applications".
Take a look also at the news release from RS Components UK, Wall planner helps manage maintenance,
as well as Flowmeters offer maintenance-free solution from Flowline,
and Flow technology helps prevent pollution from Flowline.
