An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
NI expands HIL simulation platform from
National Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "National Instruments (NI) has announced the expansion of its hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platform, which includes numerous products to optimise embedded system validation. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Airchannel helps timber specialist save energy from
Airchannel: "Airchannel has installed a variable speed compressor for DG Heath (Timber Products) that will provide a 50 per cent energy cost saving per annum. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from European Safety Systems
- take a look at E2S adds trumpet horns to range of warning devices
which says: "The Spectra range of industrial warning devices from European Safety Systems (E2S) now includes 100dB and 110dB trumpet horns designed to provide an effective penetrating low-frequency buzzer sound.".
Take a look also at the news release from Dassault Systemes, Dassault Systemes releases latest PLM 2.0 platform,
as well as Ricardo to help develop automatic transmission from Ricardo,
and Final chapter of lean manufacturing book released from Lattice Technology.
