Inside San Diego?s Blue Tech Economy Inside San Diego?s Blue Tech Economy Making Connections Teledyne Impulse designs and manufactures high- reliability electrical and optical interconnection systems and connectors for a broad range of harsh environment applications. According to General Manager, Ray Hom, the company?s products are proven per- formers in the most demanding applications, which include oceanographic exploration, defense, oil and gas production, nuclear systems, and spacecraft and launch vehicles. Teledyne Impulse is a market-focused business unit of Teledyne Oil & Gas, an alliance of Teledyne Technology companies deliver- ing engineered solutions for monitoring, sensing and intercon-nect applications.?Teledyne Impulse delivers high-reliability engineered solu- tions for interconnect applications,? says Hom. ?We address the current and future needs of the oceanographic, defense, and renewable energy markets through advanced technologies and world-class support. A variety of interconnect solutions and value-added systems are provided that guarantee reliable operation in all ocean environments ? ?from the surface to the sea  oor.? Teledyne Impulse uses a scienti c approach to reliability engineering in the design and manufacture of complete technology solutions.? The foundation of these ca- pabilities is Teledyne Scienti c Company, a world-class ma- terials science research laboratory with depth and experience to develop the technologies required for the most demanding subsea applications. ?We provide a large variety of standard or custom designed solutions?from miniature dry-mate in-strumentation connectors to subsea power and  ber optic wet pluggable connectors to suit any application or environment,? says Hom. ?We also design and develop complex encapsula- tion and molding solutions for subsea components.? ?Our customers include companies that manufacture or use instrumentation, vehicles or systems that go subsea. We sup- port original equipment manufacturers, research organiza- tions, oil and gas companies and end users that operate prod-ucts underwater. We design and manufacture the interconnect solution that forms a pressure proof barrier between the instru-ment?s electrical housing and the ocean outside to allow for the transmission of data. We may not be the most expensive component on an instrument, but our solutions are essential for successful performance of our customer?s products. For mission-critical systems, failure is not an option,? Hom says.
