Abstract: An adapter for a conventional conductor locator allows the locator to additionally detect the presence of passive, electronic markers. The adapter includes an electronic marker locator and a wireless interface housed in a common body which may be releasably attached to the conductor locator. The electronic marker locator, which may comprise conventional circuitry, outputs a marker detection signal to the wireless interface, which conditions the signal so that it is compatible with the input sensor of the conductor locator.     The wireless interface includes an output antenna which is positioned adjacent the input sensor of the conductor locator when the adapter is attached thereto. If the conductor locator is of the type which may receive test signals at different operating frequencies, then the wireless interface also includes a modulator to selectively convert the marker detection signal to one of these operating frequencies. The electronic marker locator portion of the adapter may also be selectively adjusted to detect different discrete marker frequencies. The adapter may operate in a sleep mode, wherein the output signal of the wireless interface is disabled, but the wireless interface may still alert the user to the presence of an electronic marker by an audible alarm.

Abstract: A component of an aluminium production cell, in particular a cathode or a cell lining of an electrolytic cell for the production of aluminium by the electrolysis of alumina in cryolite, having an aluminium-wettable refractory coating on a heat-stable baked carbon-containing body, is produced from a part-manufactured cell component which is a layered composite of two precursors. A precursor layer of the aluminium-wettable refractory coating contains at least one aluminium-wettable refractory material in particulate form, or a particulate micropyretic reaction mixture which when ignited reacts to form at least one aluminium-wettable refractory material, or a mixture thereof, and non-carbon fillers and binders. A non-baked or part-baked precursor of the heat-stable carbon-containing body comprises particulate carbon compacted with a heat-convertible binder which when subjected to heat treatment binds the particulate carbon into the heat-stable carbon-containing body of the fully-manufactured cell component. This layered composite is convertible to the fully-manufactured cell component by heat treatment to form the aluminium-wettable refractory coating and simultaneously bind and heat-stabilize the carbon-containing body.
