Abstract
Abstract To obtain and store information about underground soil a cableless unit (2) including a memory storage device (2b) arranged to collect the information throughout the whole underground surveying process is inserted in the ground. <??>After completion of the process, the memory storage device (2b) is lifted to the surface of the ground and is coupled with a data processing unit (12) located on the ground.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A method for surveying a ground comprising - inserting into the ground a ground information collecting unit including a ground information sensor and a memory and control device for automatically recording the information from the sensor; - automatically recording the ground information obtained by the sensor at the memory and control device during a desired ground survey; - lifting the ground information collecting unit up to the surface of the ground; - connecting a data processing unit located on the ground to the memory and control device; and - conducting analysis of the ground information thus obtained through computation, tabulation, charting and the like.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
104 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
A ground surveying apparatus comprising a ground information collecting unit including a ground information sensor, characterized in that - said ground information sensor (2a) has a cone (21) attached to the fore end thereof and contains a memory and control device (2b) which is capable of automatically recording the ground information from said sensor (2a), - said ground information collecting unit (2) being removably attached to the fore end of a rod (1) as resistor body to be inserted into the ground.
Claim 4
