Control Engineering announced the Engineers' Choice Award winners last week at the magazine's 17th annual awards reception, held during the National Manufacturing Week event in Chicago Chicago, city, United States Chicago (shĭkä`gō, shĭkô`gō), city (1990 pop. 2,783,726), seat of Cook co., NE Ill., on Lake Michigan; inc. 1837. . For the first time, subscribers to Control Engineering were asked to choose the best technologies for automation, control, and instrumentation instrumentation, in music: see orchestra and orchestration. instrumentation In technology, the development and use of precise measuring, analysis, and control equipment. from among 35 winners of the 2003 Control Engineering Editors' Choice Awards. CiDRA was the recipient of two awards given during the ceremony; CiDRA received the 2003 Editors' Choice Award and the 2003 Engineers' Choice Award in the Instrumentation and Process Sensors
Criteria Control Engineering editors use to choose the winners from among all products covered in 2003 are: service to the industry, technological advancement, and market impact. Subscribers were asked to apply the same criteria in their decision-making decision-making, n the process of coming to a conclusion or making a judgment. decision-making, evidence-based, n a type of informal decision-making that combines clinical expertise, patient concerns, and evidence gathered from to select Engineer's Choice winners, one in each of eight categories: embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. control; human-machine interface; instrumentation and process sensors; machine control and discrete sensors; motors, drives, and motion control; networks and communications; process and advanced control; and software and information integration. "To celebrate Control Engineering's 50th anniversary in 2004, the editors and publisher added a second component to the award selection process for 2003. It was like the 'Academy Awards' for each of the categories, the best of the best," said Mark T. Hoske, Control Engineering's editor-in-chief. CiDRA's SONARtrac flow technology is a new class of industrial flowmeter See flow meter. , utilizing measurement principles that are distinct from all other available flowmeter technologies. By installing on the existing process lines, SONARtrac clamp-on flow monitoring systems eliminate the process disruptions associated with installing other types of flowmeters. This passive, sonar-based technology enables measurements of single phase and multiphase flows In fluid mechanics, multiphase flow is a generalisation of the modelling used in two-phase flow to cases where the two phases are not chemically related (e.g. dusty gases) or where more than two phases are present (e.g. in modelling of propagating steam explosions). as well as slurries, with the same level of accuracy and performance.
