Start with the news release Touch-sensing controller for medical applications from Cypress Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Cypress Semiconductor has launched a Capsense capacitive touch-sensing controller that enables designers to achieve mechanical button replacement without having to write firmware.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Edition 6.0 for security-dependent applications from Belden CDT: "Belden has introduced Edition 6.0, a new version of the software platform for the Hirschmann Mach, Mice, Rail and Octopus managed switches.".
 
In September 2010, we covered the news from Keithley Instruments - take a look at Switch mainframes enable semiconductor testing which says: "Keithley Instruments has introduced the six-slot 707B and single-slot 708B switch matrix mainframes, which are optimised for semiconductor test applications in lab and production environments. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from U-blox, GPS module ideal for fleet and asset management, as well as Ocean Optics launches compact NIR spectrometer from Ocean Optics, and Conduant offers SFPDP mezzanine board from Conduant.
