‘Silicon Nitride’

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 October 2009, we covered the news from Barden Corporation - take a look at Barden provides super-precision bearings which says: "The Barden Corporation offers custom-designed, super-precision bearings for use in a wide variety of high-performance air handling systems. ".

Take a look also at the news release from UK Precision, UK Precision helps produce synthetic body parts, as well as NIR camera includes European FPA detector from Flir Systems, and Newport cell system measures EQE and IQE from Newport Spectra-Physics.
