RTI provides the industry?s only dual fre- quency ADCP/DVL and highest resolu- tion velocity measurements (0.01 cm/s) in the industry. The CompanyRowe Technologies, Inc., founded by Dan and Steve Rowe in 2009, is a pri- vate company with its headquarters located in Poway, California (USA). It employs a staff that develop, manufac- ture, market and service leading edge, high quality, underwater sonar systems for use in oceanography, navigation, limnology, and hydrology applications worldwide. Its instruments are pulsed backscatter sonar systems or Acoustic Doppler Current Pro lers (ADCPs) and Doppler Velocity Logs (DVLs) used to transmit and receive echoes from ?tar- gets? in the water column and along sur- face and bottom boundaries, to compute the following:  Vehicle and water velocity from Doppler frequency shift  Range to targets based on acoustic travel time  Angle to targets based on beam- forming and echo angle-of-arrival, and  Bottom and water column acoustic image characteristics based on echo in-tensity and range.The Tech Rowe Technologies? (RTI) core team is centered on advanced electronic engi- neering and signal processing develop- ment as well as acoustic transducer de-sign and development of traditional and multi-frequency piston products and planar arrays. Its core competencies are: Underwater Acoustics  Acoustic Imaging  Embedded Signal Processing  Advanced Electronic Design  Complex FPGA Design  Transducer Development and Manufacturing  Deep Ocean Design Seaß oor Systems Inc. 3941 Park Drive Suite 20-218 3941 Park Drive Suite 20-218 El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 El Dorado Hills, CA 95762 T: +1 530 677 1019 T: +1 530 677 1019 E: adam@seaß oorsystems.com E: adam@sea ß oorsystems.com W: www.sea ß oorsystems.com W: www.sea ß oorsystems.com CEO/President: John Tamplin CEO/President: John Tamplin No. of Employees: 7 No. of Employees: 7 The CompanySea oor Systems, Inc. was formed in Portland, OR, in 1999 by veteran naval hydrographer John Tamplin to provide hydrographic survey equipment and consulting to survey companies in the Paci c Northwest. Specializing in geo- physical survey equipment, Sea oor has built up the largest multibeam echo- sounder rental pool in the U.S., provid- ing full spectrum of equipment, soft-ware, personnel, training, and support. Combined, it has completed more than one million line-miles of multibeam sur- vey. The Tech Sea oor Systems, Inc. provides turnkey multibeam systems for shallow to medi- um-water depths (1-3000m). In addition to sonars, it provides a range of ancillary sensors such as motion and attitude sen-sors, sound velocity pro lers, and tide gauges. It has sensors from many manu- facturers such as Applanix, Coda Op- topus, Teledyne Marine, Trimble, Vale- port, and Ohmex. It also offers a Reson 8160 50-kHz multibeam echosounder, capable of mapping the sea oor down to 3,000 meters. For data acquisition and processing, it offers software systems from Triton Imaging, Hypack, Chesa- peake Technology, and Caris. Its data processors can process data from mul-tibeam echosounders, side scan sonars, magnetometers, and subbottom pro lers acquired in most common formats such as XTF, Q-MIPS, .ALL, .HSX, SEG-Y and many more.
