Since 1969 PMI solutions have been provided worldwide to cus- tomers working in industries involv- ing cable installation, defense, oil & gas exploration, search & salvage, and seismic surveys. PMI Industries, Inc. is an engineering service company specializing in highly reliable cable systems and hardware for undersea operations. PMI has a long term rep- utation for engineering and manufac- turing military cable systems used on surface ships and submarines.

Currently, PMI builds the tow cable assembly for the Multi-Function

Towed Array (MFTA) and the SUR-

TASS TB-29 A Twinline program. As innovators of the helical gripping concept for use on underwater cables,

PMI manufactures a complete line of high-strength mechanical cable ter- minations that can be field installed without special tools. These cable terminations have been field proven on a multitude of armored and jack- eted cables as well as wire rope. PMI pioneered a field installable electrical splice kit with sealing techniques that prevent seawater intrusion between your cable and connector to full ocean depth. The splice uses ambient pressure to prevent internal water migration. PMI is also a leader in cable bend protection. Our Bending

Strain Relief designs are a matrix of steel helical stiffener rods and polyurethane; this approach provides high stiffness in a low profile shape.

Supporting a growing need by seismic companies to tow multiple seismic arrays PMI developed the DYNA-

HANGER Suspension System. The

DHSS is a mid-span high-strength lead-in attachment point that incor- porates multiple layers of helically preformed rods to provide lead-in gripping and bend protection. Every product and system PMI offers has been tested in our dynamic testing facility which can simulate at-sea cable-handling and environmental conditions. PMI performs design verification testing, factory accept- ance testing, failure analysis studies and other qualifying testing to com- mercial and government standards.

RME was founded in 2006 to develop wave energy converters that generate clean energy from ocean waves. Since its founding in 2006,

RME has received research and development funding from NOAA, the U.S. Department of Energy and the Minerals Management Service to build and test several wave energy converter prototypes. RME’s initial focus is on smaller-scale autonomous power solutions (1-10kW) utilized in open-ocean aquaculture, seawater desalination and ocean observation systems but its long-term focus is on wave energy conversion for utility- scale, grid-connected electricity gen- eration. RME core competencies include computer simulations of wave/structure interactions and design of advanced sensing, control, and data acquisition/analysis systems.

RME has academic and commercial partnerships with MIT, Duke

University, Maine Marine

Composites and Alden Labs. RME is currently developing two different wave energy converter prototypes.

One device is designed for shallow- water (near-shore) deployment and the other is designed for deeper water deployments. Preliminary reduced-
