We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Photocoupler", 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 Design kit simplifies photocoupler choices from Toshiba Electronics Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Toshiba Photocouplers Design Kit incorporates two samples of each the company's latest photocoupler products". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Photocouplers enhance white goods safety from Toshiba Electronics Europe: "Power triac photocoupler has reinforced insulation and boasts 5kV isolation voltage for AC safety applications".
 
In March 2007, we covered the news from Acces I/O Products concerning its 104-IDI-48 Series - take a look at Digital I/O boards are optically isolated which says: "PC/104 utility boards feature 48 individually optically isolated digital inputs".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Acces I/O Products, Digital I/O cards have individually isolated lines, as well as Photocouplers provide totempole outputs from Toshiba Electronics Europe, and Relay module fronts up wireless serial modem from Acces I/O Products.
