‘Wireless Technology’

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 Insertion probes monitor bioproduction process from Stratophase: "Stratophase has collaborated with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) to develop an insertion probe variant of its Spectrosens system. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Q-Sys - take a look at Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems which says: "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Flow Line Options, Process technology installed at biodiesel refinery, as well as Actuator system for sampling applications from Heason Technology, and NI expands HIL simulation platform from National Instruments.
