Sensor Technology Ltd was founded in 1983 near Toronto, Canada. The company began as a research-driven manufac- turer of piezoelectric materials but quickly expanded its prod- uct line to include hydrophones and acoustic transducers for underwater applications. With a long history of research and development, Sensor Technology Ltd. has conducted experi- ments on the space shuttle, the Mir space station, in both the Arctic and the Antarctic and in ocean depths exceeding 20,000 feet. With its strong design department and in-house machin- ing, assembly and testing facilities, Sensor Technology Ltd. is capable of taking customers through the entire design process from concept, to prototyping, to full-scale production. From piezoelectric powder production to Þ nished acoustic sensors, the companyÕs vertical integration provides end-to-end quality assurance and product design optimization, as well as a high level of control over delivery scheduling. Sensor Technology Ltd. manufactures a large number of piezoelectric ceramic materials. The companyÕs formulations include ceramics equivalent to Navy Types I, II, III, V and VI, a range of lead metaniobates and several proprietary piezo- electric materials with unique performance characteristics, such as its ultra-hard BM200, high g constant BM740 and highly anisotropic BM300. In-house machining capabilities allow it to produce a wide range of geometries: Sensor Tech- nology recently produced tiny ceramic tubes with an outer diameter of only 0.091Ó, as required for a customerÕs minia- turization project.Sensor Technology Ltd. has designed and manufactured a broad array of custom hydrophones and acoustic transduc-ers. Past projects include transducers with multiple transmit frequencies, vector hydrophones, multi-channel and shaded array designs for side lobe suppression and beam steering ap-plications, towed array hydrophones for seismic applications and ruggedized units capable of withstanding high pressures. Most recently, Sensor Technology shipped its unique SQ70- 00 and SQ70-01, a transmit/receive transducer pair housed in titanium and rated to 10,000 psi.SENSOR TECHNOLOGY LTD.SENSOR TECHNOLOGY LTD.20 Stewart Road, P.O.
