We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Signal Processing",
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 Controllers combine PLC and PC versatility from
HardwarePT, which we summarised at the time by saying "Powerful and versatile controllers combine a PLC ruggedness with the functionality of a PC using a flexible, open architecture to build complex systems with advanced control".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Hot-dip galvanizing line control uprated from
Morgan Construction Company: "A zinc coating mass control system uses a proven physics-based coating mass model to generate accurate references and control knife to strip distances and stripping gas pressure".
In November 2007, we covered the news from IBS Precision Engineering
concerning its Lion Precision displacement sensing systems
- take a look at Non-contact measurement can work in picometres
which says: "A non-contact displacement sensing system has modules, enclosures and sensors provides distance, digital and indexing measurement capabilities, in sub-nanometre resolution if required".
Take a look also at the news release from Renishaw, Encoder interface has serial communications,
as well as Encoder system performs as fine pitch system from Renishaw,
and Multi-channel source/measure unit is speedy from Yokogawa Europe - Test and Measurement.
