5th Annual Horizon Interactive Awards Competition
Indianapolis, IN USA – April 14, 2006 -
The Horizon Interactive Awards, a leading international
interactive media awards competition, announced the
2006 award winners. The fifth annual international
competition recognized excellence in interactive media
production among multi-media developers worldwide.
Monitor Technologies was recognized for their excellence
in interactive media production with a Bronze award
for the Business to Business, CD Rom, CD Catalog
(QUOTE FROM COMPANY ABOUT RECEIVING AWARD)
The 2006 competition was the largest and most competitive
to date, nearly double the size of the previous year. Hundreds
of entries were received from 17 countries including:
Australia, Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Hong Kong,
Italy, Malaysia, Indonesia, Netherlands, New Zealand,
Portugal, Italy, Singapore, South Africa, United Kingdom,
and Nearly all 50 US States. A panel of judges, consisting
of various industry professionals with diverse backgrounds,
evaluated 13 different categories. The 2006 winning
entries showcase the best developed web sites, cd-roms,
dvds, video, kiosks, online advertising video games
and other interactive media.
“The Horizon Interactive Awards winners are
at the top of their class. All of the winners this
year exemplify the highest standard for interactive
media development,” said Mike Sauce, founder
of the Horizon Interactive Awards. “It
is truly amazing to see the level of creativity, craftsmanship
and artistry on display among this year’s winners. “
The Horizon Interactive Awards holds the annual competition
in early spring of each year. For more information

The TrueCap® Model MK-2
RF Capacitance point level probe is designed to provide a superior
and stable sensitivity threshold making it suitable for a variety
of powder / bulk solids and some liquid or slurry applications.
Advanced features of the Model MK-2 include: > Automatic immunity to material build-up on
the probe by its driven shield design > Push-button calibration > Enhanced temperature compensation > Maximized reliability via smart sensing algorithms
like “self-validating” fail-safe protection > Visible status LED on ordinary location units > Versatility through a variety of configuration
options including: hazardous location version, split architecture
design, quick-connect process connection, stub probe, cable extensions,
solid extensions, Nylon® probes, Ryton® - equiv. probes,
etc.
A practical application for the TrueCap would be to use this level sensor where
a residual material build-up on a different sensor would cause a false material
level indication.
Principle of Operation for the TrueCap RF Capacitance Level
Probe:
The vessel wall and the active probe element establish an impedance reference
between each other when exposed to air which has a dielectric constant of 1.
When materials with a dielectric constant greater than 1 are in close proximity
to the probe, the impedance of the sensing field between the sensor and the vessel
wall will change. Once the amount of change exceeds a threshold that was electronically
determined during the calibration process, an output relay will either be energized
or de-energized depending upon the position of the fail-safe selector on the
probe’s electronic circuit board. A change of as little as .5 pico-farad
is all that is necessary for the probe to sense the presence of material.
