ELECTRONICS UPDATE Radio Holland USA Announces New Thrane & Thrane Radiotelex Unit —Literature Available— The Distributor Products Divi- sion of Radio-Holland USA of Houston, exclusive distributor in North America for Thrane & Thrane A/S of Denmark, has an- nounced that as part of the Danish company's commitment to supply the latest in communications tech- nology, and to serve both present and future radiotelex installations worldwide, it is the first radiotelex manufacturer to offer equipment with the newly passed CCIR Rec- ommendation 625. All Thrane & Thrane standard and double-speed ATOR (Automatic Telex Over Ra- dio) modems will henceforth be de- livered with a new software package containing not only its high-per- formance, user-oriented feature package, but also the new CCIR Recommendation 625. To fully utilize all the benefits that this new recommendation has to offer, automatic coast station sys- tems delivered by Thrane & Thrane will also be upgraded to CCIR Rec- ommendation 625, including Singa- pore Radio, Hong Kong Radio, Lyngby Radio, Scheveningen Radio, Bern Radio, and WLO Radio in Mobile, Ala. Of equal importance, the new rec- ommendation programs will be sup- plied as an upgrading kit for all ear- lier-delivered TT-1585 series of ATOR modems (more than 2,800 installed), including the very first versions delivered some four years ago. The new recommendation, ap- proved by CCIR at its May 1986 meeting in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, not only replaces the well-known CCIR Rec. 476-3, but it is also fully backwards-compatible, enabling ex- isting modems to communicate with modems and coast stations follow- ing the new improved recommenda- tion. CCIR Rec. 625 includes nine-digit call codes in accordance with the future requirements of a common call code for all maritime communi- cations systems, and a completely new scheme for exchange of station identification during initial calls and during rephasing procedures, preventing the annoying problems of a third station rephasing into an existing communications connec- tion and possible receiving the rest of the message. The 256 kbyte memory ATOR modems will interface with virtually any teleprinter, or supplied free of charge is the copyrighted XCOM program enabling both full control and operations of the modem from DOS-compatible computers, as well as free file transfer between the modem memory and the computer disk system. And for the discrimi- nating user, a high-security telex cipher feature, provides total securi- ty against those eavesdropping on the radio circuits. Free literature is now available completely describing the new Thrane & Thrane radiotelex equip- ment.

Nicor Installs Advanced Management System Aboard Supply Boat Walter Todd, president of American Information Management Corporation of Bay St. Louis, Miss., has announced that the Genesis In- formation Management System has been installed on the 192-foot off- shore supply boat Long Island, owned and operated by Nicor Ma- rine, Inc. of Morgan City, La. The vessel is under contract to Conoco Oil, Inc., and operates out of Frand Isle, La. With this installation, Con- oco and Nicor join the ranks of industry leaders who are utilizing this innovative system on their ves- sels. The Genesis System solves three major problems for Conoco: reduc- ing fuel burn from the normal, everyday underway operation of the boat; inventory control of fuel loaded abroad the vessel and fuel transferred to the rigs; and with the electronic log, shoreside manage- ment has a simple, easy-to-use re- port to maximize vessel utilization. With this electronic log, Conoco's transportation manager takes an ac- tive role in managing the vessel uti- lization and maximizing productivi- ty. In addition, the system gives a read-out on the inventory control for dry bulk drilling mud abroad the vessel. In its everyday servicing of oil rigs the boat can, with information gen- erated by the Genesis System, set its throttles to maintain the best fuel efficiency yet still meet the needs of the rigs and platforms it needs to service.
