Products EIVA: New Winch Range The OceanEnviro range of winches for survey and deployment op- erations are now available to EIVA?s customers. EIVA has delivered winches for more than 30 years. As of October 2013, the winches will carry EIVA?s logo and the name OceanEnviro, as the company launches its own range of winches for survey and deployment in connection with oceanographic and hydrographic operations. OceanEnviro is designed in collaboration with Sepro Technology AS, and the range is a further de- velopment of existing Sepro Technology AS products. The OceanEnviro product range offers maximum cable lengths ranging from 600-2,700m, drum diameters from 250-480mm, and motor power from 1.5-10.4kW ? just to mention a few of the options available through the  ve models comprising OceanEnviro.The frame and plate components are made of AISI 316 marine stainless steel, which reduces the risk of corrosion.www.eiva.com Silicon Sensing: CRH01 Silicon Sensing launched CRH01, a new high performance single-axis MEMS gyroscope which delivers very low bias instability, claimed to be below 0.2°/hr, and suitable for all marine attitude and positioning control system applications requir- ing high accuracy and reliability, in a compact and affordable module. Following the success of the CRS09 gyro, CRH01 is the latest of a new range of precision MEMS inertial sensors to emerge from Silicon Sens- ing offering lower cost, robust and compact alternatives to expensive FOG and RLG technologies. Four variants are available to accommo- date dynamic ranges from 25°/sec to 400°/sec.www.siliconsensing.com MetOcean Snow Beacon MetOcean released the innova- tive Snow Beacon. Designed and tested in conjunction with the world renowned Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), the Snow Beacon is an Iridium reporting data collection and processing beacon ideal for remote polar applications. Developed to measure snow height and guaranteed to deliver high reliability, low power consumption, and dependable opera-tion, the Snow Beacon is the perfect turn-key solution to measure snow height for any size project. The Snow Beacon is also equipped with various sensors: GPS positioning, barometric pressure, air temperature, sea surface temperature sensors, and four snow height sonar sensors. www.metocean.com Free Web-Embeddable Map WidgetsMarine geospatial data provider SeaZone created a series of free map widgets to embed into web pages.
