Current, voltage, power, charge, energy, temperature, and time data are available via a simple I2C/SPI interface. The LTC2947 provides accurate true power readings by an instantaneous multiplication of current and voltage measured by separate ΔΣ ADCs. An integrated temperature compensated sense resistor maximizes measurement accuracy over temperature and simplifies space-constrained designs. • [Learn more about the LTC2947] • [See LTC2947 video] [View now] [Multivariable Transmitter for Extremely Low DP Ranges] [Multivariable Transmitter for Extremely Low DP Ranges] Eastern Instruments The [QVT Transmitter] from Eastern Instruments is a multivariable transmitter that enables the measurement of up to four process variables including differential pressure, temperature, and absolute pressure. When coupled with a DP based flow element such as [Insertion Pitots] or [Flow Conditioners], the QVT will accurately calculate the mass flow of air/gas. The QVT is uniquely designed for high accuracy at low DP ranges, accurately measuring differential pressures down to 0.0009 in WC. [Learn more].

[View now] [Perplexing Propagation] Short-wave and AM transmitters are required to lower their transmission power and directivity of the signal, and in some instances are forced to go off the air, at sunset. The reason for this FCC requirement: at night, the wave signals from these transmitters (like your local AM radio station) travel a longer distance than during the day. Keeping all the station's parameters the same, why does the night help to increase the range of these radio waves? Does this also happen with FM transmitters? [Answer/Discuss] TECH ARTICLE [When Powders Fail to Flow] "There are many traditional measurement methods for characterizing the 'flowability' of powders: angle of repose, flow cup, tap test. Practitioners know that the information may not be useful some of the time, but experience helps to separate the meaningful test results from those that may be suspect."
