Abstract: The invention provides, in one embodiment, a detector for a miner comprising a gamma sensing element and a light sensing element coupled to the gamma sensing element. According to the embodiment, the detector is mounted on a rotary cutter of a boring-type continuous miner such that the gamma sensing element has a view of a geologic formation being mined. A mining control system is also provided, comprising a miner having at least two rotary cutters and a gamma detector on each of the at least two rotary cutters for receiving gamma emissions from a geologic formation. The mining control system also provides an accelerometer and a rate gyro, wherein the accelerometer and the rate gyro correlate the received gamma emissions with positions of the at least two rotary cutters, and a central module that utilizes the correlated readings to determine whether the cutters should be moved.

Abstract: A rock avoidance control system for solid mineral mining using a forward looking rock/mineral interface detector and controlling the miner to cut to the detected rock/mineral interface. One or more armored gamma ray detectors are positioned near the cutter and move with the cutter such that the angular size of the field of view is not reduced. Angular movements of the cutter are measured and used for calculating the rock/mineral interface location. A device is incorporated within an armored rock detector to sense angular movements of the cutter boom and to correlate changes in gamma radiation to the angular movements, within selected energy ranges. The thickness of the remaining coal is calculated by measuring the rate at which the gamma radiation increases. In one embodiment, rock detectors are used to steer the cutting of the leading drum and/or the trailing drum a long-wall mining system.

Abstract: A photomultiplier tube and a method and apparatus for molding an optical coupler thereto are described. An optical coupler molding fixture includes a frame and a frame base. A photomultiplier tube is positioned within the frame between a spring and a shim. The optical coupler is formed with a mold which is positioned against the shim. A cavity is created radially interior to the shim between the photomultiplier tube and the mold. The optical coupler is molded to a faceplate of the photomultiplier tube with the fixture oriented so that its longitudinal axis L is parallel to the ground. A clamping structure presses the mold against the shim and provides the optical coupler material a non-leak space in which to cure. The optical coupler material is injected into the mold through a fill hole, and may be injected at ambient temperature. Curing time may range from one week at ambient temperatures to four hours at 65° C. The mold can be machined to create any form desired for the optical coupler. The shim can be sized and configured to allow for adjustment in the thickness of the optical coupler. The optical coupler may be as thin as less than 0.015 inches in thickness. If, for example, a thicker optical coupler is desired, the shim may be made thicker. The edge of the photomultiplier tube housing which abuts the shim is checked for its perpendicularity to the longitudinal axis L. Without perpendicularity, proper alignment of the photomultiplier tube is less likely.
