	Hydraulic Page from the Netherlands This is the HYDRAULIC website, designed by R. van den Brink. Every month a subject about hydraulic engineering will be added to the site.This site will introduce you to Hydraulic Engineering. Interesting, with great animation. It provide a wonderful introduction to hydraulics. Mr. van den Brink studied mechanical engineering at the College of Advanced Technology (title: ing. = ingenieur) and has been working as an engineer and project leader in mechanical, automotive and hydraulic technology since 1979. A couple of years ago he specialized in educational technology and at the moment he is teaching/training hydraulics and technical information technology for the Ministry of Defence and for a Dutch training company. Besides that he writes articles and books about Hydraulic and Automotive (Engine) technology. The links below refer to some information about three books I have written. The books (we call them Technical Papers; about 50 pages each) are used for training purposes. These links are in Dutch. Information on Technical Books Filtration
	KEOHPS - stands for Knowledge Engineering On Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems. Its mission is to provide computational solutions, applying Artificial Intelligence Techniques, to the Hydraulics and Pneumatics market worldwide, KEOHPS activities also include training and consulting on techniques which improve the design process. KEOHPS was created as a spin-off from a five-year PhD project in mechanical engineering. The project has uniquely integrated three areas, i.e. Artificial Intelligence, Design Methodology and Fluid Power. This integration resulted in a working prototype tested and validated by fluid power experts, from industry and academia, in Europe, United States and Brazil.
	Engineering Information Inc. -- known as Ei -- was created for a community of engineers wanting to share their own research results and learn about what others were doing. That was back in 1884, on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis. Our task has been to identify, organize and facilitate easy access to the published engineering literature of the world. Now Ei brings information globally, to technical professionals, researchers and managers, no matter where it resides -- and no matter where they reside.
