An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Load board that assesses cooling systems from Elma Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "Elma UK, a manufacturer of high-performance backplanes, has announced a new 6U VPX Load Board in a conduction-cooled format, to help test a system's cooling capabilities and to locate its hotspots.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Voltage controller with integrated power MOSFET from Linear Technology: "Linear Technology has introduced the LTC4219 5A Hot Swap controller with sense resistor, for protecting low-power boards from inrush current in many RAID, server, telecom and industrial applications.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Rogers - take a look at Rugged flame-retardent laminates for military PCBs which says: "Rogers has introduced XT/duroid high-performance thermoplastic laminate materials, suitable for high-frequency multilayer circuits in military, aerospace and deep-space applications.".
Take a look also at the news release from Tyco Electronics, Tyco announces JEDEC-based memory module, as well as Development board for HMI/automotive applications from Mistral Solutions, and FPGA-based frame grabbers for image acquisition from Stemmer Imaging.
