Li-Ion chemistry is ideal for undersea environments. The cells are sealed and do not out-gas and the polymer versions can withstand pressures greater than 10,000 psi. This combination results in a battery that is easier and safer to use and one that does not require heavy, expensive pressure vessels.
Recent advances in electronic control of the Li-Ion battery and new…

Advanced Cytometery, Beckton Dickinson, Cell Analysis
Flow cytometry has been developed mainly for applications in medical research. The technology has also been proven to be very useful for the analysis of marine plankton. For some time, van den Engh has been building special instruments that are optimized for marine studies. These instruments offer increased sensitivity and the possibility to measure special optical properties that improve the detection and classification of pico plankton. One such instrument is suitable for unattended operation…

Undersea lighting continues to follow the rapid development of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for general commercial illumination. LEDs have made substantial headway in their adaptation to undersea vehicles given to their light generation characteristics, efficiency and durability. In addition to improvements in LED technology, electronic drivers have become simpler and increasingly efficient, providing options to end-users for thermal roll-back, dimming, AC/DC, or variable voltage input with constant…

Abstract: 3-D ion traps have been a part of the Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) landscape for over a decade, providing multi-path mass spectrometry experiments (ms/ms or msn) for unknown screening and structure elucidation. Recent advances in ion trap LCMS features including Enhanced Charge Capacity (ECC) which extends the number of ions that can be simultaneously analyzed and electronic control of Atmospheric Pressure Ionization (API), which delivers optimum drying gas during…

The understanding of oceanic processes has always been hindered by the difficulty in measuring them. Almost all types of propagating waves are either rapidly attenuated or suffer little and non-specific interaction with the ocean’s interior. The latest generation of ships, moorings, gliders all offer advantages, however, still suffer from significant aliasing. Via the revolution in micro processing technology, power storage and the continuing advancement of low cost…
