‘Substrate’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Variohm unveils membrane potentiometer range from Variohm Eurosensor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Variohm Eurosensor has introduced the Spectra Symbol Membrane potentiometer range.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Dynamic Rack Control cuts inventory errors from Rittal: "In large data centres most of the inventory is recorded using a spread sheet, a manual process that is time consuming and subject to human error. ".

In October 2009, we covered the news from Newport Spectra-Physics - take a look at Oriel system measures quantum efficiencies which says: "Newport's Oriel IQE 200 system allows researchers to measure external quantum efficiency (EQE) and internal quantum efficiency (IQE) for solar cells, detectors, or other photon-to-charge converter. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Precision Micro, Process routes create precise micro components, as well as Newport unveils thin film coated mirrors from Newport Spectra-Physics, and How surface issues affect air-travel emissions from CERAM.
