‘Silicon Carbide’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release CMOS digital photo IC for colour sensing from Hamamatsu Photonics , which we summarised at the time by saying "Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a 12-bit digital output colour sensor photo IC. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig from Endevco: "Endevco has announced the 8511A series, a range of piezoresistive gauge pressure transducers designed for maximum reliability in extreme measurement environments. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Riley Industries - take a look at Riley to distribute pressure-fed shot blasting which says: "Riley Surface World has announced an agreement with Contracor to distribute its range of pressure-fed shot blasting systems in the UK. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Anca Industrial Supplies, MX7 grinder makes tools with up to 16mm diameters, as well as Barden provides super-precision bearings from Barden Corporation, and UK Precision helps produce synthetic body parts from UK Precision.
