Abstract: An apparatus for protecting a miner from injury by a machine in a mine includes an explosion-proof housing. The apparatus includes a proximity sensing portion disposed in the explosion-proof housing having a magnetic field source which produces a magnetic field that is used to sense a location of the miner relative to the machine. The apparatus includes a wireless communication portion disposed in the explosion-proof housing through which the magnetic field produced by the magnetic field source is changed remotely and wirelessly from outside the explosion-proof housing. A method for protecting a miner from injury by a machine. A system for protecting a miner from injury by a machine in a mine.

Abstract: The invention comprises systems and methods for making a prediction utilizing admissions-based or personal information. The invention receives information associated with the prospective student or person via a network. The invention determines one or more predictive factors based upon selected prospective student information or selected personal information. Finally, the invention determines a likelihood of a decision such as an enrollment decision based upon at least one predictive factor. Information utilized by the invention consists of at least one of the following: static data, biographical data, statistical data, historical data, behavioral data, preferential data, circumstantial data, demographic data, or other data that permits an observation to be made about a person such as the prospective student. The invention develops and updates a predictive algorithm that correlates one or more predictive factors based upon selected prospective student information or personal information.
