Emergency Override System
Having been contracted to write the control firmware for one of AT&T's largest cable laying vessels put us in a perfect position to fully understand the complexity, and interaction of the whole system. As the machine interface was a windows based systems, with all the inherent problems that can bring, we were contracted to design, develop and manufacture an all electronic override system to enable the potentially lethal machinery to be safely controlled until everything was safe. The system had to control six 75kW motors, monitor and control over 30 digital inputs and output, maintain pressure between 3 sets of track and maintain tension in the cable between 3 cable engines to avoid very costly damage to transcontinental fibre optic telephone cables. The system was completed in 8 weeks from order, occupied one tenth of the space of the original. The systems was installed and commissioned in Japan, and real life sea trials took place in the South China Sea.
LED Halogen Replacement
Having seen our driver, driving a 28W RGB Lamina light engine, we
were approached by a marine technology company to work with them to
develop a replacement LED lighting unit to replace the currently used
halogen lamps. Being LED based there are no parts which could be
damaged by the knocks and bump caused by underwater exploration
vehicles. Another advantage of LED's is that the light can be dimmed
without any loss of the light colour. The system was designed to allow
the user to adjust the light output using an RS485 link and a PC
terminal. The end users have been impressed by both the life expectancy
(up to 10 years as opposed to possibly only 1 day) , and the fact that
they can have complete control over the brightness of the light.
The units are currently on display in the company office throughout the world.
Other Projects
We are currently working with Jaguar Cars Ltd providing them with
lighting solutions for their concept vehicle due to make it's debut at
the Detroit Motor Show early next year.
We have recently provided the lighting effect for another local glass
artist, who's piece has been nominated to appear in this years 2006
British Glass Biennale at the International Festival Of Glass in
Stourbridge.
