MAPC is currently designing a deep sea power system (thermoelectric) that will extract energy from thermal vents. Our engineers and naval architects have designed surface and subsurface systems for companies in S. Korea, France, Scotland, and in the United States. MAPC employs person- nel with the following skill sets: naval architects; electrical engineers; me-chanical engineers; ocean engineers; software engineers; marine engineers; engineering physics; materials scien-tists; welders; fabricators; electronics technicians; machinists; model makers. We have software tools for dynamic analysis, structural analysis, hydrody-namics, seakeeping, hydrostatics, and the simulation of control systems.Marport 50 Harbour Drive, St. John?s NL A1C6J4, CanadaTel: 709-757-5757 Email: [email protected] http://www.marport.com CEO: Cyril McKelvie Sales Manager: Oskar Axelsson Number of Employees: 100 Marport focuses on innovating, devel- oping and marketing Software DeÞ ned Sonar (SDS) technology and products for a variety of underwater sensing and communication applications. Our target markets are Commercial Fisheries, Un- derwater Defence, Offshore Energy and Ocean Science. Unlike traditional hard- ware sonar designs, MarportÕs software- centric sonar platform is unique in that it supports dynamic re-conÞ guration of multiple functions, waveforms and signal processing techniques. Software platforms are the invisible engines of in- novation transforming many global in- dustries. As such, MarportÕs technology has the potential to become the domi-nant sonar ÒengineÓ in a wide variety of existing and future underwater sensing and communications applications. MarportÕs new Forward Look Sonar (FLS-450) uses advanced digital sig- nal processing, low-power electronics and broadband piezo-composite trans-ducer arrays to create high resolution, real-time imagery at medium to long ranges. With a centre frequency of 450 kHz and bandwidth of 50 kHz, the FLS-450 provides real-time streaming sonar images with a range resolution of 2cm. The compact sonar is optimized for low power consumption with an Ethernet in- terface. Multi-Electronique (MTE) 1, 8e Avenue, Rimouski, Quebec, Canada G5L 2L9Tel: 418-724-5835 Email: [email protected] http://multi-electronique.com CEO/President: Jacques St-Pierre Multi-Electronique was founded in 1982 and principally focused on the repair of electronic equipment while doing small design projects. Over the years, the company has expanded and now designs and manufactures scientif- ic instruments for customers worldwide. Its ofÞ ce is located on the shore of the St-Lawrence River in Quebec, a privi- leged position for marine researches. Multi-Electronique is world renowned for the quality of its products and its ef-fective after-sale service. The company offers a large and diversiÞ ed range of product but the two main devices are the AURAL-M2 and the Instrumental Oceanographic Buoy. Both products have been conceived and developed in collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans CANADA. The AURAL-M2 is an au- tonomous underwater recording device. It can numerically record underwater sounds over a period up to a year with total autonomy. It is mainly used for the listening of marine mammalÕs noises, but also for underwater noise pollution, methane bubbles and the Grand North ice cracking as examples. At the same time, it records pressure and water tem- perature. It is powered by Alkaline ÒDÓ cells and available in three lengths for short, medium and long deployment (re- spectively 16, 64 and 128 batteries).
