Well Flow Profiling System
Digital Flow Profiling system provides continuous PLT-type data. It monitors the flow distribution in production and injection wells in real time, and zonal flow allocation is determined using the Sentinel DTS technology, which has a resolution of 0.01° C every one meter along the wellbore. Sensornet.

Gas Detection/Calibration Kit
This portable gas detection-calibration kit—complete with the MicroDock II Test-Calibration Docking System—offers customers a way to experience the new X-Series line of portable gas detection instrumentation firsthand. Honeywell Analytics.

Formation Evaluation Tools
The Sondex Ultrawire formation logging tools system is an open hole system available for direct purchase to customers worldwide. It offers the integration of formation evaluation sensors into turnkey systems. GE Energy.

Antifouling Paint
Using a controlled erosion process, combined with PTFE and the latest biocide technology, Vivid Free provides protection against slime, algae, barnacles and other marine fouling without the use of copper or TBT. It is EPA-approved and can be used on all aluminum, fiberglass, wood and steel hulls; outdrives; and outboard motors in fresh, salt and brackish water. Pettit Paints.

Distress Radio Beacon
V100 VHF Position Indicating Radio Beacon is fully automated and transmits a MOB distress call via VHF DSC and VHF voice to all VHF radio-equipped vessels and land-based receivers within range. Attached to clothing, the device will automatically activate if the wearer goes overboard, sending a distress call and real-time GPS coordinates. Mobilarm.

Explosion-Proof Cooling Units
These cooling units feature sealed switches, cords and motors to prevent sparking and accidental explosion in highly combustible areas. The unit housings are also rotationally molded and are leak and rustproof. The 36-in. explosion-proof model cools 2,500 sq. ft. and delivers 9,600 CFM, and the 48-in. model cools 4,000 sq. ft and delivers 17,500 CFM. Both models lower the temperature an average of 15 to 25° F. Port-A-Cool LLC.

Water Quality Mapping Vehicle
EcoMapper autonomously generates high-resolution maps of water quality and bathymetry. The system consists of an AUV with a mounted CTD as well as 5 additional sensor ports, a depth sounder and optional side scan sonar. The system can execute a variety of missions in freshwater and near-coastal environments. YSI Inc.

Configuration Utility Tool
The DMS Configuration utility is a Windows-based application for configuring and controlling Watch-Man500™ weather stations. The software’s capabilities include system configuration, system communication, data storage, data logging and firmware management. AXYS Technologies Inc.

Divide and Delay Box
USB Key Divide and Delay Box synchronizes 2 active sonar devices to prevent interference. The KDD allows a user to fire the sub-bottom at specified intervals of the side scan trigger and delay the start recording in a data acquisition system. The built-in 1 kHz clock generates pulses between 1 ms and 1 s. Chesapeake Technology Inc.

Maritime Communications Leasing
A new leasing program for the TracPhone® V7 offers a 36-month lease and an extended 36-month warranty. Customers leasing a TracPhone V7 can also bundle any of the company’s Inmarsat-compatible TracPhones or TracVision® satellite TV systems into the lease. KVH Industries Inc.

Communications Multiplexor
Hermes MM-A is a hardwired communications multiplexor for data transmission through 8 bidirectional channels over a single twisted pair. Data communication capability over the cable is 230 kbaud in either RS232 or RS485 modes. Sonavision Ltd.

Dry Suit for Hazmat Diving
The HDS is made of 1,050 g/m2 of a new material known as NITECS, which has permeation times better than suits made of 1,500 g/m2 of material. All glued seams are covered with NITECS tape, and extra reinforcing material is added to the boots, knees, buttocks, shoulder and zipper areas. Trelleborg-Viking Inc.

Data Logger-Type Sensors
The INFINITY series of instruments includes turbidity, EM current, CT and wave-height meters and incorporates improvements based on feedback from users of the older COMPACT series. Alec Electronics Co. Ltd.

Aluminum Connectors
AluLite connectors feature plugs and receptacles engineered to endure more than 5,000 mating cycles within a temperature range of -50 to +150° C. Accepting cable diameters from 1.4 to 10.7 mm, the AluLite series is available in multipole from 2 to 27 pins with solder, PCB or crimp contacts. Fischer Connectors.

Visualization Software
XDS Control Center software suite is multi-windowing display management software that creates a widescreen Windows desktop on which users can control all sources simultaneously with mouse and keyboard. Barco.

DGPS Site-Management Software
Designed to continuously monitor and control DGPS broadcast sites for marine navigation, Coastal Center™ software was developed to provide network operators the ability to monitor and control multiple DGPS beacon stations from one central location. Trimble Navigation Ltd.

LED Lights
DeepStar LED Elite uses high-wattage LEDs combined with a digital controller. It produces a high beam for 4 hrs. and 50 percent low beam for 8 hrs. It features solid-state construction and a magnetic switch on the headlamp. NiteRider Dive & Video Lights.
