Abstract

A mounting device for mounting at least one item relative to internal surfaces of a case is disclosed. The mounting device has spaced first and second legs, each of the first and second legs having a free end, and a cross member extending between the first and second legs, the cross member formed of resilient material and including at least one slot for receiving an item, and the slot having a slot width. Movement of the first and second free ends of the respective first and second legs towards each other causes flexure of the cross member and a reduction in the slot width.

Abstract

A cable gland (10) has first and second parts (12), (16) which are mutually engageable, and a seal assembly (18) that is housed within and between the first and second parts (12), (16). The seal assembly (18) has at least one carrier (30) on each side of a cable seal (20). Each carrier (30) seats a respective body seal (22). Each cable seal (20) has an opening (24) through which a cable (26) can pass. In use the cable seal (20) forms a seal about the cable (26). Each body seal (22) is arranged to form a respective seal against the inner surface (28) of the first (12). The cable seals (20) provide water ingress protection about the cable (26), while the body seals (22) provide water ingress protection between the inside of the first part (12) and the seal assembly (18). The parts (12) and (16), when engaged, are configured to apply a longitudinal compression to the seal assembly (18). This results in the carriers (30) squeezing the cable seal (20) therebetween into sealing contact with and about an outer surface of the cable (26). This, in combination with the action of the body seals (22) provides water ingress protection.

Abstract

A system for the collection of visual and related data on marine and other underwater habitats and fauna, in particular and without limitation for benthic habitats over significant spatial scales. The system can include elements such as a digital or video camera to receive visual images, various sensors to sense other related data and waterproof housings to protect various elements of the device. A sensor may for example be a global positioning system. The device can also include elements to control the device and to record, transfer & process the data.

Abstract

A live aquatic animal transport system (10) comprises container (12) that holds a volume of water and one or more isve aquatic animals (16). An oxygen is delivery system (17) and control system (24) cooperate to deliver oxygen at a rate required to maintain a dissolved oxygen concentration in the water within a selectable range. The oxygen delivery system (17) can comprise an oxygen tank, or an oxygen selective membrane. One or more dissolved oxygen sensors (44) provide signals representative of dissolved oxygen concentration In the water which is then used to control the supply of oxygen. A carbon dioxide stripper (28) removes carbon dioxide from water held within the container (12). A sensor (46) provides a signal indicative of the level of carbon dioxide in the water. The sensor may for example be a pH probe.
