We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electrostatic discharge",
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 Transmitter module saves space and power from
RF Micro Devices, which we summarised at the time by saying "Dual-band transmit module features two symmetrical receive ports, 50ohm matched input and output ports and GSM/GPRS Class 12 compliance".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Coatings are cost-effective screens from
TBA Electro Conductive Products: "Nickel acrylic paints provide a cost effective solution for EMI shielding problems in a wide range of applications".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Puritan Medical Products
concerning its PurSwab ESD Safe Swabs
- take a look at Medical swabs are safe for electronics
which says: "Swabs feature ESD-safe polypropylene handles, and include dissipative foam and ultraclean microfibre-tipped applicators".
Take a look also at the news release from California Micro Devices, Range cuts the cost of inductor-capacitor filters,
as well as Circuit protection lab opens in Shanghai from ON Semiconductor,
and Crosspoint switches promise jitter performance from National Semiconductor.
