We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Automotive markets",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Novel packaging handles ICs with care from
Farnell, which we summarised at the time by saying "Peel packaging offers complete protection to each individual component in transit, storage and handling by placing them within a protective, recyclable and biodegradable plastic cell".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Functional tester is made for auto makers from
Agilent Technologies Europe: "Functional test system helps accelerate test-solution development and deployment, helping automotive manufacturers get their products to market faster".
In June 2007, we covered the news from C-Mac Micro Technology
concerning its Conformal coating service
- take a look at Conformal coating service aids reliability
which says: "Competitively priced conformal coating service provides complete solution for the protection and test of printed circuit board assemblies, hybrid modules and other electronic components".
Take a look also at the news release from SDC Systems, Analysis and simulation aid real-time design,
as well as Working group to standardise Bluetooth interface from Cambridge Silicon Radio,
and Microcontrollers spread reach across Europe from Cyan Technology.
