‘Pressure Monitoring’

An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release Monitoring system features Nordic transceivers from Nordic Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Nordic Semiconductor has announced that Spantec has developed a fully comprehensive ANT+ telemedical remote monitoring system using Nordic nRF24AP2 eight-channel 2.4GHz ANT transceivers.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Low-power network platform for harsh environments from Axiomtek: "Axiomtek has announced the NA-320FL, a fanless 1U compact network appliance platform with 6GB LANs that supports the low-power Intel Atom processors D510 1.66GHz with Intel ICH8M PCH chipset.".
 
In December 2010, we covered the news from Elma Electronic - take a look at Load board that assesses cooling systems which says: "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.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Master Distributors, Carling switches target transportation industry, as well as PCE-5125 board ideal for industrial applications from Advantech, and Lord introduces SC-305 silicone encapsulant from Lord.
