Fiber Optic Penetrator
Dual Way Water Blocked penetrator was designed to withstand depths up to 6,000 m and pressures of up to 600 bar. It is completely blocked on both sides, so even if the system cable is damaged, water will not enter the system box. MacArtney AS.


Underwater Manipulator Arm
Hydraulic Advanced Remote Manipulator 7 joins a range of standard and bespoke underwater manipulator arms that work in conjunction with ROVs. It is able to pick up objects as small as 5 mm or as large as 150 mm, can rotate continuously and has a closing force of 50 kg. CSIP.

Calibration Tool
When the Image Calibration Tool is integrated with the SeaView R5 visual system, it provides scenes created and animated by Polaris navigation simulators. The tool utilizes software techniques and algorithms to enhance the quality of an image displayed by the projectors in the simulator. Kongsberg Maritime.

Software GPS Module
Fastrax IT900 converts GPS RF signals into a digital IF that is processed by Fastrax software GPS. The software GPS has so far been ported to x86 and ARM CPUs and Windows, Windows CE and Linux operating systems. The Fastrax software GPS can be ported to additional CPUs, specific application processors and operating systems. Fastrax Ltd.

Seawater-Resistant LVDT
LVDT position sensors can measure the position of valves—called chokes—on subsea oil well control towers, located at the wellhead, as well as control or measure the position of robotic arms and actuators. The sensors are designed from 316SS and Inconel 625 for pressure and corrosion resistance. Macro Sensors.

Pressure Sensor
The Barometric Pressure Smart Sensor provides a number of features, including weatherproof housing, its capability to be plugged into the HOBO U30 remote monitoring system and its ability to measure barometric pressure from 660 to 1,070 mb. Onset Computer Corp.

Onboard LED Lights
LED Oblong Courtesy and Step Lamps consume 0.5 W and provide illumination across a range of input voltages from 10 to 33 DC. Completely sealed for interior and external applications and with 4.75 in. of tinned cable sealed to the lamp body, the lights provide a constant electrical connection. Hella marine Inc.

Fog-Collision Avoidance Controller
Signal Mate is a light/horn signaling controller for enhanced boating safety in conditions of restricted visibility and in emergency situations. Signal Mate assists the helmsman by automating the sound and light safety signals required by the U.S. Coast Guard and International Navigation Rules. Kimberlite Assemblers Inc.

42-In. Marine LCD
The MDU-42 is a large-screen high-resolution LCD display with an optional integrated computer. Designed to meet IEC60945 and withstand harsh environments, the system can be either panel or bulkhead mounted. When panel mounted, it meets NEMA 4/4X requirements. Comark Corp.

Submersible Fluorometer
The C3 Submersible Fluorometer is designed to incorporate up to 3 optical, temperature and depth sensors. Sensors can be selected to detect in-vivo chlorophyll a, blue-green algae, rhodamine WT dye, crude oil, CDOM and optical brighteners, as well as turbidity. The C3 can be used in freshwater, coastal and open-ocean applications. Turner Designs Inc.

OEM Video Capture Card
Model 817 PCI-Express JPEG frame grabber is a PCI Express x1 card that captures 16 separate channels of compressed JPEGs or uncompressed bitmaps at 480 total frames per second. Sensoray Co. Inc.

LED Lights
Nemalux LED lights are designed to provide lighting for areas where water, vibration, maintenance or temperature negatively affects conventional illumination. Solar powered options are available. Nemalux LED Lighting.

Astro Navigation Software
WinAstro navigation system software’s has been upgraded to include of Stellarium to give a sky-at-night view to help recognize the stars, planets and constellations, and also a French version of the software. The new release is also fully Vista compatible, as well as able to run on older versions of Windows. Smartcom Software Ltd.

Sub-Bottom Interface
SonarWiz.MAP real-time interface is now available for the SyQwest Inc. StrataBox sub-bottom profiling sonar. It now allows users to collect StrataBox data simultaneously with side scan, single-beam echo sounder and magnetometer sensors in one program. Recent enhancements to SonarWiz. MAP include magnetometer collection and post-processing, sub-bottom data intersection management and 3D data export in Fledermaus format. Chesapeake Technology Inc.

Buoy Platform
The WatchMate™ is a small, multipurpose buoy platform designed as a data collection buoy for lakes, rivers, canals and coastal waters. It weighs 285 kg, is 1.2 m in diameter and, due to its structure and design, the sensor payload can be lifted out and accessed for service. AXYS Technologies Inc.

GPS Compass Board
LV100 GPS compass board is a complete GPS compass and positioning assembly utilizing a design featuring a single carrier board with integrated GPS antennas and designed for integration by OEM customers. Hemisphere GPS.

Current Shunt Set
The A40B precision current shunt set consists of 14 low-inductance coaxial current shunts, adapters and connectors and a rugged transit/storage case. Designed for currents from 1 mA to 100 A, the current shunts are for laboratory use in making directly measured absolute AC or DC measurements as well as AC/DC transfer measurements. Fluke Corp.
