The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 176 is made up of members who develop international standards on quality management and assurance, including the ISO 9000 series. Members of the U.S.

(Vishay Precision Group Inc.: Malvern, PA) -- Vishay Precision Group Inc.

(Geomagic: Research Triangle Park, NC) --  Geomagic has announced that its reverse engineering and 3-D inspection software has received a full validation from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

(Cognex Corp.: Natick, MA) -- Tough competition means food and beverage manufacturers and packagers cannot afford production errors.

(Nanovea: Irvine, CA) -- The Nanovea Jr25, a 3-D noncontact portable profilometer, is the first truly portable, high-performance profilometer of its kind. With an optional battery pack and carrying case, the Jr25 provides measurement capability rarely available during field study.

(City University London: London) -- City University London and Sencon UK Ltd., a developer of sensor and control systems for the metal packaging industry, have begun a three-year, £200,000 ($320,000) knowledge transfer partnership to improve the quality control of the coatings applied to food, d

(ICHF: Warsaw, Poland) --  Superficial layers of materials, no thicker than several atomic layers, play a key role in many important areas of science and technology, including microelectronics, catalysis, or corrosion science.

The growth of commerce, science, and technology has greatly expanded the extent and variety of goods and services, helping many to lead longer, safer lives.

Effective communication and consistent measurement across all engineering disciplines and processes are essential to the design and manufacture of the highest quality products. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is key to achieving these goals.

(Buehler: Lake Bluff, IL) -- To simplify ordering and purchasing, Buehler created its new Sum-Met Bundles, which contain all the grinding and polishing consumables required to prepare 100 specimens.
