UK Met Office releases new groundbreaking sea monitoring system
A ground-breaking Motion Forecasting and Monitoring System has been awarded the prestigious 2007 RINA (Royal Institution of Naval Architects) and LRET (Lloyd`s Register Educational Trust) Ship Safety Award. This successful system from oil and gas construction company Saipem uses Met Office wave energy forecasts to give predictions of how vessels will react to sea conditions. These predictions allow Saipem to enhance the safety of weather-sensitive operations around the globe.
The Met Office provides Saipem with highly detailed wave energy forecasts that are the foundation of the new system. ... |

LN Industries S.A.
The SONIMIX 2106B family is composed of a various range of instruments, going from 10 to 1024 dilution points for the simplest to the more elaborated configurations. What ever your working range (from 10 to 100% for the 10 points or from 0,1% to 100% for the 1024) the instrument accuracy is excellent: 0,6% relative. The stability, precision and reliability of this instrument place it at the top place for the specialists in the motor industry. In the same casing it is possible to fit a NOx convertor tester (100ppm or 1000 ppm).
