Definitions

  • Sedimentation or the deposition of sediments, may be measured. This is desirable, and may well be essential, in a number of circumstances. This may include monitoring of the environmental impact of certain activities undertaken in marine environments, such as dredging. These measurements may be mandated in certain circumstances, such as those in which environmental approvals are required for the conduct of certain activities in or around marine and estuarine environments.
  • the scanner is positioned so as to rotate within the housing and capture an image of the surroundings of the apparatus through the transparent portion thereof.
  • the housing has provided thereon a nose portion that facilitates it being received and settled in sediment.
  • the nose portion may be provided in the form of either a cone or truncated cone.
  • a rear housing attached to the housing, the rear housing having provided therein apparatus for the storage and/or transmission of images.
  • the images taken of the surroundings of the apparatus are stored in the apparatus.
  • the images taken of the surroundings of the apparatus are available for access remotely.
  • a battery housing in which is located at least one battery means, the battery housing arranged so as to allow functional interaction with the rear housing.
  • the housing 12 is provided in generally cylindrical form and comprises a nose 16, an intermediate portion 18 and a rear portion 20.
  • the nose 16 is generally conical in shape so as to facilitate the location, and retention, of the sedimentation monitoring apparatus 10 in position in use.
  • the nose 16 is sealingry engaged with the intermediate portion 18 by way of a plurality of 0-ring seals 22 received in grooves 24, best seen in Figure 2.
  • the intermediate portion 18 comprises an outer section 26, in which are provided four cut-aways 28, and a transparent cylinder 30.
  • the cylinder 30 is positioned within the outer section 26 and seals the cut-aways 28.
  • the mounting 32 comprises a central shaft 34 arranged to extend longitudinally within the housing 12 in a manner that is generally co-axial with regard to the housing 12, and at least with respect to the intermediate portion 18 thereof.
  • the shaft 34 is located at each end by a support member 35.
  • the scanner element 40 captures an image of the lithography of the surrounding sediment that is transferred to an external location by way of apparatus such as the modem and antenna located in the circuit box 60.
  • the circuit box is powered by the batteries 124 located in the battery housing 120. It is envisaged that the batteries 124 will be replaceable and easily accessible by a user, through the removal of the end plate 62, without the need to disassemble any further components of the sedimentation monitoring apparatus 100.
