Abstract: The invention relates to a rock anchor including an elongate, hydraulically inflatable anchor tube made of a ductile material and defining a closed leading end, a trailing end, and a tube cavity extending between the ends. The rock anchor of the invention includes an end cap on a trailing end of the tube, defining a feed aperture in communication with the tube cavity for pressure feeding a liquid substance into the tube cavity for inflating the tube. The end cap includes pressure indicator means configured for indicating when, as a result of pressure feeding of a liquid substance into the tube cavity, a predetermined installation pressure is reached in the tube cavity. The pressure indicator means typically includes a pressure indicator formation displaceable under pressure in the tube cavity, with such displacement being visible from the outside of the end cap.

Abstract: An enclosure cover for collecting and disposing of unwanted moisture within honeybee hives during periods of temperature and humidity conditions that promote alternate freezing and thawing. An internal cover surface collects and condenses moisture produced by the bees' metabolism which otherwise may be deposited on the internal surface of the cover as frost and later thaw, causing droplets of cold water to fall on the clustered bees. The enclosure cover is arranged to direct and channel collected water from the condensation surface and discharge the same outside of the hive.

Abstract: An apparatus for use with a digital field sensor comprises a digital communication circuit. The digital communication circuit is operative to output a digital signal indicative of calibration information for the digital field sensor. A processor is connected in operational communication to the digital communication circuit. The processor is operative to receive a value communicated to the processor by the digital field sensor. The processor is also operative to calculate calibration information based on the value and to provide the calibration information to the digital communication circuit.
