Abstract: A computer-implemented method of vending air travel services comprises determining a plurality of published fares each associated with a respective one of a plurality of root booking classes, said published fares being applicable to the purchase of air travel at a root service level. The method further comprises determining a plurality of derived fares each associated with a respective equivalent booking class that is one of the root booking classes, said derived fares being applicable to the purchase of air travel at a non-root service level, the derived fare for which the equivalent booking class is a particular one of the root booking classes being computed from the published fare associated with the particular one of the root booking classes by applying a price differential that is common across multiple ones of the root booking classes.

Abstract: A booster compressor system modulates discharge pressure with a proportional regulator in fluid communication between the compressor discharge and a servo control for a valve to the compressor inlet. The servo control comprises a double acting piston connected to a valve control rod. In one embodiment, the proportional regulator is of a negative signal type and communicates to a side of the piston for urging the piston to a valve opening position. A valve closing pressure is applied by a non-relieving regulator in fluid communication between the compressor discharge and the other side of the servo control piston. As the discharge pressure increases, the proportional regulator out let pressure decreases thereby resulting in the servo control allowing the intake valve to the compressor inlet to close. This, in turn, reduces the compressor discharge pressure thereby resulting in the proportional regulator controlling the valve to partially open once more.
