    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for determining structural change in a mining operation. A first scan of gateroad surfaces is obtained and information of the scan profile is stored. At a later time a second scan of the gateroad surfaces is then obtained. Information of the scans can be registered and any difference noted. If the difference exceeds a threshold a warning can be provided indicating a gateroad structural change that may be hazardous. The scans can be made from a single sensor, or from multiple sensors (301, 303). In the case where the sensors (301, 303) are mounted on a gateroad traversing structure (109), the distance of spacing of the sensors (301, 303) can be used to determine when the sensor (303) has reached a position of movement or travel of the gateroad traversing structure (109) where the scan from sensor (301) was made. A distance sensor (309) can be provided to determine the distance of movement and where the scans coincide.

    Abstract: A device that may be worn by a person, or fitted to an apparatus for monitoring, sensing or controlling one or more parameters such as, but not limited to, moisture, temperature, heart rate or respiration rate, or controlling various parameters of electronic functions. The device includes; a) a flexible substrate (10) that can be worn by a person or fitted to an apparatus and wherein the flexible substrate requires disposal or replacement with a fresh flexible substrate or requires maintenance that prevents continuous use of the device. b) An electrical circuit having separate first (11) and second (16) parts, where the first part (11) is carried by the flexible substrate (10) and the first (11) and second parts (16) can be connected together to form an electrical connection (13,14) and disconnected to allow the parts to be reused or disposed as desired.

    Abstract: A method for selectively enriching for a microorganism able to metabolise a test substrate, and/or the enrichment of an enzyme involved in the metabolism of the test substrate, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a population of microorganisms in a vessel, b) feeding fluid into the vessel at a controlled flow rate commencing with an initial flow rate, the fluid comprising a nutrient medium and, for at least part of the feed period, the test substrate, c) producing a signal indicative of the level of a metabolism indicator over the time-frame of the enrichment, and d) providing an output based on the signal to enable assessment of selective enrichment of a microorganism that metabolises the test substrate, and/or the enrichment of an enzyme produced by the microorganism that is involved in the metabolism of the test substrate. To accelerate the enrichment process, conditions may be set to increase the flow rate in stages as a steady state is detected. This may be achieved by presetting conditions to be met by the signal output to result in a change in the fluid flow rate, and changing the flow rate at which fluid is fed into the vessel when the conditions are met, wherein the preset conditions are a combination of a predetermined period of time and a preset value range within which the signal must remain for the predetermined period of time.
