[5kVRMS Isolated Switch Controller with Telemetry](
Linear Technology, Now Part of Analog Devices
The LTM9100 µModule Isolated Anyside™ switch controller protects and monitors high voltage DC power supplies up to 1000V. High voltage supplies in industrial, datacom, avionic, and medical applications require controlled turn-on, with isolation for control circuit protection and breaking ground paths. A 5kVRMS galvanic isolation barrier separates the digital interface from the switch controller, driving an external N-channel MOSFET or IGBT switch.

[Protect Your Pump and Keep It Longer](
Fluid Components Intl. (FCI)
Nothing damages a pump faster than the build-up of heat from dry running conditions. When there's no liquid to provide cooling, heat destroys a pump's bearings. FCI's [pump protection white paper]( explains how installing a point flow/level switch in your pump's process loop can prevent the problem.
FCI's [FLT93 flow/level/temperature switches]( not only monitor for low flow situations, but also detect dry running conditions. Download our [FLT93 Series FlexSwitch™ brochure]( to learn more.

[Baffling Beer Glasses](
Typical beer mugs have thick walls and a thick bottom. This design serves two purposes. First, it makes the mug heavier, so the drinker assumes the beer is “good.” The second reason is to give the impression that the mug holds more beer than it actually does. Why is this so? Why would the volume appear greater than it is?

TECH ARTICLE
[]
[Principles of Fluid Chillers](
"Designing a high reliability process chiller requires an in-depth understanding of chiller system dynamics and associated components, their limitations in specific cooling applications, and how they affect overall chiller performance. Described here is a tutorial of a single-stage recirculating fluid (or liquid) chiller with emphasis on the factors that determine reliable operation." [Read this article in its entirety](.
