Digital Coriolis from Invensys/Foxboro "Best of Show" -
The winner of the Best of Show Award in the ISA 2002 New Product Showcase is Digital Coriolis from Invensys/Foxboro. Digital Coriolis competed with 15 products displayed by ISA 2002 exhibitors in the New Product Showcase. "In simple terms, what Digital Coriolis does is extend the applicability of coriolis flow meters," explained Michael Jost, vice president, Foxboro Measurement and Instrumentation Division of Invensys. "It solves problems associated with void fraction and entrained air. For any industry where flow is involved - oil and gas, food processing, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, for example - Digital Coriolis will improve
productivity tremendously."
"This is a revolutionary product, something new in what has been a fairly stagnant industry," said John McKenna, president, Foxboro. "And we are pleased to release Digital Coriolis at ISA 2002."

Biosphere 2's Chief of Staff to Open Fourth Day of Annual Event
Chris Bannon, chief of staff and vice president of operations and facilities at Columbia University's Biosphere 2 Center, will deliver the ISA 2002 keynote address on Thursday, 24 October at 8:15 a.m.
Bannon's address, "Nuts, Bolts and Biosphere 2," focuses on the remarkable history and exciting future of the world's largest environmental laboratory. Conceived in the early 80s as the first large scale, man-made, self contained and self-sustaining closed ecosystem, the 250-acre campus is now a premiere research and education facility for study of earth systems.
Originally intended to study how complex natural systems interact, the laboratory concentrated in the late 80s on developing the technology necessary to colonize other planets. So began one of the most ambitious, visionary, and certainly controversial, projects of the 20th century. In 1996 the $150 million living laboratory and associated campus came under the management of New York's Columbia University. With a new name, Biosphere 2 Center (B2C), Columbia refocused the mission from planetary abandonment to planetary stewardship
