IEEE Announces

OCEAN 73 Conference

Sept. 25-28 In Seattle

OCEAN 73, the fourth annual

IEEE International Conference on

Engineering in the Ocean Environ- ment, will provide a major forum for papers on electrical and electronic technology applied to ocean and ma- rine systems.

More than 100 papers on subjects ranging from underwater acoustics to polar research will attract marine engineers and managers worldwide to the conference to be held at the

Washington Plaza Hotel in Seattle,

September 25-28.

Sponsored by the Seattle section of

The Institute of Electrical and Elec- tronics Engineers and the IEEE

Oceanography Coordinating Commit- tee (OCC), OCEAN 73 will demon- strate the deep involvement of elec- trical and electronic technology in virtually all ocean and marine activi- ties, and therefore the program will feature papers on environmental measurement, prediction and control, transportation, underseas mining, na- val systems, and offshore power plants. "Approximately 500 participants are expected at OCEAN 73," pre- dicts Dr. Theodor F. Hueter of

Honeywell's Marine Systems Division

Seattle Center, "and on the basis of papers accepted to date by the tech- nical program committee, participants can look forward to 15 outstanding sessions."

Dr. Hueter and Edward W. Early of the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington are co-chairmen of the conference steer- ing committee.

Technical program chairman Gil

Raudsep, also of Honeywell, reveals that in addition to many U.S. sub- missions, papers are being received from Japan and Canada, and that others from Europe, the USSR, and

Australia are anticipated. The major- ity of the U.S. contributions are from industrial firms and from naval re- search groups within the Department of Defense; however, a significant number have been received from uni- versities and nonprofit research or- ganizations.

To coordinate the varied ocean-re- lated activities of its members, IEEE founded its Oceanography Coordinat- ing Committee in March 1968. Be- ginning in 1970, OCC, in conjunction with local IEEE sections, has spon- sored annually a technical conference on engineering in the ocean environ- ment. Previous conferences have been held in Panama City, San Diego, and

Newport, R.I. The 1974 conference is slated for Halifax, Nova Scotia.

On the opening day of the confer- ence, a plenary session in the morning will be followed by a luncheon and three concurrent technical sessions in the afternoon. An evening recep- tion is planned for the Washington

Plaza's Westlake Room.

Wednesday's schedule includes three sessions both in the morning and afternoon, and features an eve- ning boat cruise on Puget Sound to

Blake Island for an Indian-style sal- mon bake.

Thursday's schedule is identical to

Wednesday's except that there will be a conference luncheon, and the evening features a program of films on polar seas research in the Eames

Theatre at the Pacific Science Center.

The final day, Friday, is devoted to technical tours. One tour will be devoted to visits to various oceano- graphic facilities in the Seattle region.

Another is planned for oceanographic installations west of Puget Sound, notably the Naval Torpedo Station,

Keyport, and the ranges at Dabob

Bay.

Organizations supporting OCEAN 73 include the Acoustical Society of

America, Northwest Chapter; The

Boeing Company; Honeywell Mar- ine Systems Division Seattle Center;

Harry Levinson Company; Jon B.

Jolly, Inc., and the Marine Tech- nology Society, Puget Sound Section.

Others are the Municipality of

Metropolitan Seattle, Naval Torpedo

Station, Keyport; Oceanographic

Commission of Washington; Pacific

Oceanographic Laboratories; Sparl- ing & Associates; Oceanic Associates,

Inc.; the University of Washington, ana Washington Sea Grant. our compact 400 marine water heater never runs hot and cold.

Its Unique Anticipator® Control System makes sure of that. The Anticipator, acting as a nerve center, continuously senses heat demand based on inlet water flow and temperature. The result is a constant supply of hot water to shipboard fix- tures, with temperature controlled to ±5°.

Packaged for quick installation — only five connections — the Compact 400 saves on labor costs. Routine inspection just means pulling out the tube bundle. And servicing is easy because the gaskets are all inde- pendent.

Compact but powerful, the marine 400 does the work of a conventional unit four times its size, delivering up to 660 gpm. For maintenance access, it requires a maximum of only 36" frontal clearance and no overhead clearance. You can even mount it on a bulkhead or hang it from the overhead.
