Abstract: The grinder has a cylindrical casing containing a number of balls which, when the grinder is rotating at its nominal speed, takes up a position between two generatrices spaced by an angle between a minimal angle alphamin and a maximal angle alphamax. An amount of coal is also included which, when the grinder is rotating at its nominal speed, takes up a position between two generatrices spaced by an angle beta. An electromagnetic wave emitter is disposed inside the grinder and at least one wave receiver is disposed outside the grinder. The receiver is associated with an electronic circuit for determining at least one parameter of the grinder selected from the quantity of balls, the quantity of coal and the wear of the cylinder.

Abstract: A synchronisation signal generator (11) gives the clock start signal and a clock generator and synchroniser (12) produces transmission, coding and decoding signals as well as a low frequency clock. The decoder (13) samples during a reception phase. The coder (14) has its XOR-gate between the input signal for coding during the emission phase and the transmission clock. The coder clock is generated from a frequency divider and is synchronised after reception using the first falling edge of the received signal. The decoder clock uses the same divider and has a set delay, sampling the input line at the rising edge of the clock. The clocks may operate at 9600 bauds.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for locating an underground boring tool using a radar-like probe and detection technique. A boring tool is provided with a device which generates a specific signature signal in response to a probe signal transmitted from above the ground. Cooperative operation between the probe signal transmitter at ground level and a signature signal generator disposed within the boring tool provides for the accurate locating of the boring tool, despite the presence of a large background signal. The signature signal produced by the boring tool, may be generated either passively or actively, and in a manner which differs from the probe signal in one or more ways, including timing, frequency content, or polarization. A survey of a boring site, made either prior to or during the boring operation, provides data related to the characteristics of the ground medium subjected to the survey and the identification of underground hazards, such as buried utilities. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pressure sensitive adhesive sheet for the detection of
microorganisms, which comprises a laminate of an adhesive layer mainly
composed of a water-soluble polymer and a water-permeable membrane
which does not allow passage of the microorganisms; a pressure sensitive
adhesive sheet for the detection of microorganisms, wherein the surface
of the adhesive layer has a contact angle with water of not more than
90°; and a method for detecting a microorganism, which comprises
bringing the surface of an adhesive layer of a pressure sensitive
adhesive sheet into contact with the surface of a test object, and then
bringing the surface of the adhesive layer into contact with water,
wherein said adhesive layer or water contains a chromogenic reagent. 
     The use of a laminate of an adhesive layer mainly composed of a
water-soluble polymer and a water-permeable membrane makes it possible
to leave only stained microorganisms on the water-permeable membrane and
to precisely observe the color developed by the microorganisms. 
     The method for detecting microorganisms of the present invention
enables real-time monitoring without culture of microorganisms, and is
not limited to the detection of viable cells alone. Inasmuch as a
contact of the pressure sensitive adhesive sheet with a test face
results in accumulation of microorganisms, the manipulation is simple.
In addition, by properly determining a chromogenic reagent, a specific
microorganism alone can be detected and counted, so that it can be
applied to environmental investigation in the medical field, food
industry field and the like.
