Process orders improved due to continued growth in Asia and Europe and modest increases in short cycle product orders.

Industrial Automation orders reflect strength in industrial equipment, motors and controls.  Demand in Europe continues to outpace the United States.

Electronics and Telecommunications orders are driven by strength in data computing markets in the United States and Europe, and the telecommunications market in Asia.

HVAC orders improved with strong growth in Asia, the solutions business, and air-conditioning compressors.

Appliance and Tools orders reflect improvements in the consumer related businesses, and mixed results in the commercial businesses, as well as the impact from exiting the manufacturing of power woodworking tools.
