‘Temperature Calibration’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon: "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Ansys - take a look at Ansys software helps Ferrari improve comfort which says: "Italian car manufacturer Ferrari is using software from Ansys to optimise automobile design and performance.".

Take a look also at the news release from Stratophase, Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process, as well as ITT introduces packer feedthrough system from ITT Interconnect Solutions, and James Walker designs advanced seat material from James Walker and Co.
