more, ALPS ELECTRIC EUROPE with the RS6011 a family of com- smooth-running tiometers for nal au-
dio applications such as mixing console faders. The slide potentiometers are available with one or two resistance elements and are suitable for vertical PCB mounting. They are remarkable for low-pro- file dimensions of 75mm x 9.0mm x 7.0mm (L x W x H) and a 15mm long type 6 lever. Their travel length measures 60mm. The slide potentiometers require an operating force of 0.1N to 0.2N. Their stopper strength amounts to 100N and the lever push-pull force to 50N. They have a long operating life of up to 30,000 cycles. Operating temperatures range from –10° C to +60° C (14° F to 140° F).
Further technical specifications include a maximum operating voltage of 100VAC and a total resistance of 10kΩ or 20kΩ respectively with ±20 % tolerance. Depending on the version, the resistance taper is linear or positively logarithmical. The slide poten- tiometers comply with the RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances) directive. They are suitable for reflow soldering and are available in minimum packing units of 900 pieces.

or the first quarter of 2011, AMCOL Internatio- nal Corporation (NYSE: ACO) nearly doubled its
diluted earnings per share attributable to its sharehol- ders to $0.38 per share versus $0.20 per share in the prior year‘s quarter.
Net sales increased 27.1% to $222.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $175.0 million for the 2010 period.
Operating profit increased 72.6% over the 2010 period to $18.6 million, while operating profit margins increased 210 basis points. Nearly all of the growth in operating profit was derived organically, as acquisitions and foreign currency translation had a negligible impact. Income from our affiliates and joint ventures comprised approximately $0.03 of the $0.18 increase in diluted earnings per share.
“We were generally pleased with our results for the quarter as our three largest business segments excee- ded expectations,” said Ryan McKendrick, AMCOL President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Minerals & Materials segment continued its revenue growth driven by a strong automotive market in both Asia and North America. Gross margin improvement in key business units within the segment was partially offset by low margins from our new chromite busi- ness, where we are continuing to improve produc- tion throughput and reduce yield loss.”
