Start with the news release Pam-Comfort helps Renault design new seat from ESI Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "Renault has used ESI's Pam-Comfort system for the preliminary design of a new seat.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Igus optical-fibre cable suits all bus systems from Igus UK: "Igus has developed an optical-fibre cable, Chainflex CFLG.2LB, which is suitable for all bus systems. ".
 
In October 2009, we covered the news from Richard Smalley International - take a look at RSI rig tests mechanical stress at university which says: "Northumbria University's School of Computing, Engineering and Information Sciences is utilising a Richard Smalley 25 test rig for mechanical stress analysis. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Emerson Process Management, Emerson wireless monitor gives position feedback, as well as Proximity switches are magnetically actuated from Gems Sensors, and Vishay provides web tension system for pilot plant from Vishay Micro-Measurements.
