We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "COTS (systems)",
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 Module assures critical DC supplies from
Advanced Power Components (APC), which we summarised at the time by saying "Preconditioning power module protects against low-voltage and transient input conditions, supplying a reliable input of up to 120W for DC/DC convertors".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Connectors link with liquid cooling from
Staubli UK (Connectors): "As part of the development Staubli modelled the thermal pressure and fluid dynamics of the system, to produce a thermal model of the cold wall".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Xilinx
concerning its Virtex-5 LX155, LX20T and LX155T
- take a look at FPGA expansion targets networking niche
which says: "New devices will enable new levels of cost-optimisation for industrial networking, medical imaging, motor control, defence and high-performance computing applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Sundance Multiprocessor Technology, Modular FPGA and DSP power goes industrial,
as well as Packet processing blade uses Octeon multicore from GE Fanuc Embedded Systems,
and Switch card supports multiple VXS boards from GE Fanuc Embedded Systems.
