Product description
Submitters must provide a rational technical discussion as to why the product should receive an award in no more than 250 words. (Submissions with more than 250 words may be disqualified.)

This description will be used for judging — if your product is among the winners it will also be included in a feature article. Please focus on specifics about the product and its application(s). Superlative and comparative language will be edited.
