We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "USB interface",
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 RF drivers take control of acousto-optic filters from
Gooch and Housego, which we summarised at the time by saying "The eight-channel DFS RF driver for line selection applications allows independent analogue and digital modulation of up to eight preset wavelengths".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Touch sensors on the big screen from
Zytronic: "Film that adds touch capabilities to TFT-LCD screens up to 30in size mounted behind shop windows or similar glass panels".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Sorion Electronics
concerning its Sorion Rigel VCi3
- take a look at Diagnostic controller keeps costs down
which says: "The Sorion Rigel VCi3 (versatile communications interface) is a microprocessor-based system that is designed for the communicating, controlling and testing bus-based vehicle systems and sub-systems".
Take a look also at the news release from Asix Electronics Corporation, USB-to-LAN ICs are easy route to embedded Ethernet,
as well as It's easy to log data with a USB interface from Rapid Electronics,
and USB-based instrument does six jobs in one from Saelig Company.
