An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Arbor controller supports Intel Atom N270 from Arbor Technology Co, which we summarised at the time by saying "Arbor Tech has launched the Arpex-1610, 1U fanless embedded automation controller, supporting Intel Atom N270 CPU. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Orchid redesigns precision LCR instrument from Orchid Technologies Engineering and Consulting: "Orchid Technologies Engineering and Consulting has recently completed the redesign of its precision LCR instrument. ".
In October 2008, we covered the news from Orchid Technologies Engineering and Consulting - take a look at New life for ageing electronic products which says: "Many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) struggle to continue shipping ageing or obsolete electronic products. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Cypress Semiconductor, Nonvolatile SRAMs expand to 8Mbit, as well as Robust module eases communications from MEN Mikro Elektronik, and Ferroelectric RAM puts events on the record from Ramtron International.
