COAMS Simulator

The Canadian Department of National Defense needed to test new data processing hardware and software for their 128-element towed acoustic array.  SH Scientific Systems Ltd. designed and built a turnkey system to simulate the acoustic array, using a desktop computer for the user interface, and DSP hardware to meet the computationally intensive requirements of the task. 

Inuktun Long Range Pipe Crawler

Inuktun Services Ltd. (www,inuktun.com), a designer and manufacturer of modular, remotely operated systems and components for use in confined spaces, underwater and hazardous environments, needed to complete the hardware and software integration of a complex inspection system in time for a planned rental.  With engineering staff committed to the requirements of a very full production schedule, they called in SH Scientific Systems Ltd. to complete the development of the system. 

Valve Actuator using Exotic Material

The Swagelok Corporation (www.swagelok.com), a manufacturer of quality fluid system components, was interested in looking at innovative technologies for valve actuation.  SH Scientific Systems Ltd. became involved as part of a team of subcontractors developing a prototype valve actuator using Nitinol, a "shape memory" alloy, and is named as an inventor on two U.S. patents resulting from the work.

Acoustical Instrumentation
Sound in the sea is much like light in the atmosphere.  By "illuminating" the sea surface with sound and then collecting and analyzing the reflections, a great deal can be learned about what happens there.  SH Scientific Systems Ltd. designed and built several complex instrumentation packages to "look at" the sea surface with acoustics.
