Scripps Technical Forum

Cindy Clark - Director of Scripps Communications

Cindy is the contact for a scientific project in the works that needs input from our ocean technology experts.

In a nutshell, a TV producer has conceived a global art installation project with an oceans theme. It consists of launching seven, 40-foot diameter spheres into the world's oceans to bring attention to the oceans. Scripps has been invited to be a science partner with no financial obligation.

We can help validate the science value of this art/environment project. Tony Haymet is very…

Pressure tolerant electronics eliminate the need for pressure vessels in underwater applications. As research and defense applications push for systems that can go deeper in the ocean for longer periods of time, designing with pressure tolerant electronics can result in significant costs savings and increases in system reliability. There are several simple design, pressure compensation, and testing techniques that, if followed will result in a pressure…
