External Multidisplay Device
Sometimes two displays are better than one for design or security applications where a user must keep track of separate documents or image streams. The DualHead2Go Digital Edition Graphics eXpansion Module is an external multidisplay upgrade device that connects to the video graphics array output of notebook or desktop computers and expands the images across two displays. The device is designed to add an additional display to a closed mission-critical system or to computers with no available expansion slots. For more information, visit www.matrox.com.

Wireless Sealed Keyboard
Working with any device in rugged conditions can be difficult, but operating computer equipment can be especially challenging. The OIX 7116-U wireless radio frequency keyboard eliminates the need for keyboard cables and mouse cables as well as the line-of-sight requirements imposed by infrared systems. The keyboard is powered by three AA batteries and has a 30-foot range. It is sealed with a silicone rubber coating that resists spills, splashes and hose-directed water.

Linear Potentiometer
Getting the right sensor information is vital for mission-critical applications. This linear potentiometer can be used in a variety of aerospace applications, including as an actuator sensor. The device is engineered for a long rotational life of 10 million cycles. For more information, visit www.specsensors.com.

Handheld Browser
Wireless networking can put a strain on many handheld devices. The Opera Mini Web browser is designed to provide full Internet access to the majority of mobile phones in the market. It uses a server to preprocess and compress Web sites before sending them to the handset. The browser allows users to download images and MP3 files directly to their mobile phones.

High-Speed Fiber Optic Interface
This line of data acquisition and control cubes extends the distance between an input/output device and its host computer from a 100-meter Ethernet range to a 2-kilometer range. The DNA-FPPC series of 100BASE-FX cubes offers distributed data acquisition and control in large facilities or in any application where the host computer must be remote from the input/output subsystem.
