Clever clamp goes commercial

摘要

A device that speeds up the task of attaching oceanographic instruments to cables has been successfully licensed to a commercial company by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), UK. Quick-Clamp was developed several years ago by Dave Jones, a Liverpool-based member of the NOC's Ocean Technology and Engineering team. "The licensing agreement reflects the commitment by NOC's owners, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), to enable its scientists and engineers to collaborate with a wide variety of businesses and bring innovative products to market," said a spokesman.
