Eastern Builds Research Vessel For U of M

The University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of

Marine and Atmospheric Science recently received

F.G. Walton Smith at its Virginia Key facility from

Panama City, Fla.-based Eastern Shipbuilding.

Designed as an advanced research catamaran boasting technologically-driven onboard laboratories, the all- aluminum vessel is capable of both shallow and deep- water marine and atmospheric research.

Named for the first dean and founder of the Rosen- stiel School, the vessel will be used in combination with the University's new Center for Sustainable Fish- eries, aimed at research and education to protect threat- ened fisheries.

Smart HaI

Sensor with

RS485 Output

The first flat array antenna for liquid tank gauging.

This software driven array allows for each sensor to remotely configure itself for the type of product as well as the structural characteristics within each tank. It is completely self-diagnostic and is factory calibrated using a laser interferometer to .1mm. It is designed for the harshest environments and can be provided in a high temperature version to 385°F. It is intrinsically safe with Class 1, Div. 1,

Group D & C approvals. As a smart sensor, all processing calculations and software are resident in the device itself, only a high level generic data output, i.e., RS485 (or others on request) is sent to the cargo control area.

Options: • Multiple alarm set-points • Temperature • PV Pressure • I.G. Pressure • Tank Management Software • Automated draft and trim
