We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital Signal Processor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Vibration monitor detects rolling element failures from
IFM Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "A cost effective predictive maintenance vibration monitor detects rolling element bearing failures and shaft imbalance conditions even where there is an explosion hazard".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Failure prediction with vibration monitor from
IFM Electronic: "Preventive maintenance becomes more effective with bearing condition monitoring using vibration sensors".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Micro-Epsilon UK
concerning its Measurement product guide
- take a look at Guide for displacement, position or temperature
which says: "A new measurement product guide has been launched that will help engineers select the correct displacement, position or temperature sensor for their measurement task".
Take a look also at the news release from Kane Computing, SignalWizard comes to Europe,
as well as State of the art motor controller from Kenrie,
and Half price displacement measurement sensor from Micro-Epsilon UK.
