Abstract: A hand held wand utilizes an elongated rigid hollow longitudinally extending stainless steel tube open at both ends. A data collection probe is disposed in one tube end. A data uploading port is disposed in the other tube end. The probe and port each include a stainless steel body electrically and mechanically engaging the tube. Each body has a front surface disposed outside of the tube with a peripheral annular ring and a central recess extending inwardly and terminating in a rear surface having a first opening. Each body also includes a corresponding longitudinally extending central electrode disposed in the corresponding recess. Each central electrode has an exposed front surface flush with the ring and a rear surface aligned with and spaced from the opening. Electrical insulation is disposed in the recess to electrically isolate the electrode from the body and the tube. The two bodies and the tube define a common external electrical ground with respect to the central electrodes.

Abstract: An underwater pylon cleaning apparatus is disclosed in which a rigid suction conduit mounted on an oceangoing vessel includes an eductor therein for providing a suction or lower pressure at the conduit inlet when water under pressure is supplied by a pump to the inlet of the eductor. A flexible hose connects an intake nozzle having an opening adapted to conform to the lateral surface of a cylindrical pylon to the inlet of the suction conduit. A discharge hose is connected to the outlet of the suction conduit by a flexible hose so that a diver may position the intake nozzle against the marine growth attached to the pylon whereby the growth will be removed from the pylon, transported through the hose and suction conduit and expelled through the outlet hose.
