The Rules of Participation for the Level Roundtable
1) Speakers will cover the technical aspects as needed for their
presentation, being mindful about using acronyms or industry slang terms.
2) Speakers will not make their presentation to be an advertisement for
your company, will keep their information generic, and will minimize the use of
logos and brand names.
3) Each of the four speakers will have 10 minutes to give a general
overview of their technology. This time limit will be strictly enforced. NOTE:
Audience participation and interaction will be postponed until the Q&A
session following the speaker presentations.
4) Speaker presentation will provide a basic overview of the technology
and how it is best applied. The speaker presentation for each technology topic
will cover the following:
The basic physics about what makes the technology work (i.e. beam
deflection measurement, time of flight for a signal, fluid head, making the
measured material part of a circuit, etc.)
What the technology actually measures; weight, fluid head, physical
height, etc. Is it a volumetric, mass or weight measurement? How do you get
the other quantity from your measurement (e.g. volume from weight)?
What are good applications for the technology?
What applications should it not be used for?
What physical aspects of the application need to be evaluated carefully
to make sure it works?
Following the speaker presentations, the remainder of the program will be
dedicated to a question and answer session where the audience can ask questions
of any or all vendors. Minimum time allotment for this will be at least 20
minutes. This part will also be moderated for continuity and avoiding potential
monopolization of the discussion by one technology.
