The Case: The Case: Falmouth ScientiÞ c, Inc. (FSI) has proven itself throughout the years to be a leading manufacturer of precision instrumentation and systems for global oceanographic applications. The Company: The Company: Founded in 1989, FSIÕs experience includes the design, manu- facture, and integration of stand-alone and turnkey systems to collect and relay oceanographic data in real time. Personnel include engineering, technical, produc-tion and quality assurance staff that are skilled in the manufacturing and testing of precision sensors and systems. Core competencies include system and design engineering; on-site volume production, rapid prototyping, encapsulation, and assembly; and electrical, acoustic, and system testing. FSI specializes in precision marine sensors, specialty transducers and integrated oceanographic systems. Our products and systems are used in environments ranging from estuarine to full ocean depths. Besides offering a suite of standard products the FSI team has engineered many custom solutions. FSI operates from a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in the marine technology corridor on Cape Cod, MA. FSI serves many different customers and markets throughout the world including oceanographic research institutions, academic communities, government agencies, Þ sheries, engi- neering Þ rms and several segments of the oil and gas industry. The Tech: The Tech: Sensors: The FSI ACM-PLUS is the next generation of single-point Acoustic Current Meter (ACM) technology, offering new features, functionality, and beneÞ ts designed to enhance the ability to measure current speed and direc- tion. Key advantages are the ability to make accurate measurements in very clear and/or very shallow water, as well as right at the surface and sea-ß oor bound- ary areas. Data can be acquired in real-time or captured and logged in internal memory. FSI offers shallow (200m) and deep (7,000m) versions as well as options to add an integrated CTD and one or two external sensors. FSI also offers in- struments to measure waves, tides, and other environmental parameters such as structural vibration and stress. Systems: The HMS-620 Bubble Gun low-frequency, ultra-portable seismic sys- tem makes it possible to capture survey data from a small boat without the need for support equipment, deployment infrastructure or heavy machinery. FSI also offers sidescan sonar systems, hull mount arrays and other specialized transducer systems. Service: FSIÕs service areas include custom design, development, integration, and production of marine systems and acoustic transducers; and manufacturing servic- es such as prototyping, product assembly, encapsulation (potting), calibration, and pressure testing. FSI excels in rapid prototype fabrication of acoustic transducers and subsystems.
