MTR100Ocean Sonics Ltd.Hill House, 11 Lornevale Road Great Village, Nova Scotia, Canada B0M 1L0Tel: +1 902 655 3000 Email: [email protected]: oceanSonics.com CEO/President: Mark Wood Number of Employees: 9 Ocean Sonics rewrites the rule book for gathering underwater sound by intro- ducing the concept of the Smart Hydro-phone. Instead of collecting terabytes of raw data, the Smart Hydrophone pro- vides a tool box that lets you collect just the data you need. This saves time, and reduces project risk. Post processing goes more smoothly with high quality data.The Tech: In the company?s  agship product, icListen, all the analogue & digital elec-tronics, telemetry, battery and memory are combined into a complete compact hand held instrument. This helps ensure highest possible signal performance and long-term calibration. The icLis- ten Smart Hydrophone can be used as a datalogger, digital hydrophone, or both. Unique in the industry is the in-strument?s ability to process and store the data according to the user?s needs. For example, selectively storing of time- series or spectral data based on user con gured events that look for energy within certain bands. What this means is that the user can choose how the data is to be collected. OHMSETTNWS Earle, 801 Route 36, Bldg. R-26 Leonardo, N.J., U.S. 07737 Tel: 732-866-7183 Email: [email protected]: www.ohmsett.com Number of Employees: 16 Ohmsett is the largest outdoor saltwater wave/tow tank in North America and provides independent objective perfor- mance testing. Managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, it directly supports BSEE?s goal of en- suring the best and safest oil spill de-tection, containment and removal tech- nologies are available to protect the U.S. coast and oceanic environments. OHMSETT plays a critical role in de-veloping effective response technolo- gies and represents an intermediate step between small scale bench testing and open water testing of equipment. The facility has the capability to test and evaluate oil spill response technologies such as: chemical treating agents and dispersants, oil in ice and cold weather climate, remote sensing and detection instruments, sorbent materials, tempo-rary storage devices, viscous oil pump- ing units and oil water separators. OHM- SETT?s wave generator can generate random waves that closely approximate waves in the ocean, such as sinusoidal and harbor chop, Pierson-Moskowitz, JONSWAP, and Frequency Modulated (FM) Slide, with scalable ocean water depth, wind speed, and model scale fac- tor. BSEE supports the development of alternative energy devices, in particular wave energy mechanical devices, in a controlled environment. The OHM- SETT test tank is large enough to handle many devices at meso-scale. Princetel, Inc.2560 E. State St. Ext Hamilton, N.J. 08619 Tel: 609-895-9890 Email: [email protected] Website: www.princetel.com CEO/President: Barry Zhang Number of Employees: 33 Princetel manufactures  ber optic rota- ry joints ( ber optic slip rings) to serve the geophysical industry. The company plays a key role as a supplier of electro- optic coupling devices to meet the ever- increasing demand for higher bandwidth for maritime applications.The Tech: Princetel?s line of  ber optic rotary joints has grown to cover more than a dozen models, one with three dozen channels in one device. Fiber channels from 1 to 12 remain the standard of-fering. These can be either SM or MM  ber, or a mix of the two. They are de- signed for rugged environments like ex- treme temperatures, humidity, mechani- cal disturbances, and water submersion (pressure compensation). Fiber optic ro-tary joints (FORJs) are key coupling de- vices in winches, robotic vehicles, wind turbines, medical OCT systems, satellite antennae, high-de nition broadcasting systems, and submarines. Princetel?s FORJ products are designed to comply with the popular standards, Telcordia GR1209 and GR1021 in key areas of re- liability. All models meet or far exceed MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-167-1A for shock and vibration.The Company:Princetel is a small for-pro t social en- terprise that applies commercial strate-gies to maximize improvement in hu- man and environmental well-being. It is passionate about providing a sanctuary for its employees, creating the best  ber rotary joint products.July/August 2013 24 MTRMTR #6 (18-33).indd 24MTR #6 (18-33).indd 247/22/2013 9:17:29 AM7/22/2013 9:17:29 AM
