We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Embedded control",
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 Specialised computing boosts efficiency from
RS Components UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "RS has released 683 new products from twelve manufacturers of embedded control devices and peripherals".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Microcontroller accelerates USB applications from
Atmel Corporation: "MCU offers an upgrade for existing USB Full Speed designs to High Speed USB that does not require any physical change in the connectors".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Innovasic Semiconductor
concerning its fido1100 reference designs
- take a look at Microcontroller reference designs ease evaluation
which says: "Innovasic's reference designs and modules help fido1100 microcontroller users to perform rapid prototyping and performance evaluation".
Take a look also at the news release from Sorion Electronics, Diagnostic controller keeps costs down,
as well as Easy start with Cypress PSoC devices from Mouser Electronics,
and MCUs cut control system complexity and power from Texas Instruments (April 2006-).
