Abstract: This disclosure describes an airport priority matching system that can utilize computer implemented models to dynamically match provider devices and priority requester devices in response to time priority airport transportation requests. In particular, in one or more embodiments the airport priority matching system identifies, utilizing global positioning data, provider devices within an airport boundary region and determines time metrics relative to an airport pickup location and/or a ranking order corresponding to an airport provider device tiered staging location. Moreover, prior to receiving a time priority airport transportation request, the airport priority matching system reserves a set of provider devices for airport time priority services based on the plurality of time metrics and/or the ranking order.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for intelligently determining to assess (or not assess) a cancellation penalty and notifying a requestor device of such a penalty in response to either a requestor's selection to cancel a single transportation request for a requestor or a requestor's selection to cancel a shared-transportation request associated with multiple requestors. For example, the disclosed systems can generate conversion probabilities for a requestor reflecting if a cancellation penalty is assessed—and if the cancellation penalty is not assessed—for a cancellation of a transportation request for transport of a lone requestor. Based on the conversion probabilities, the disclosed systems customize a cancellation notice for a requestor device to either include or exclude the cancellation penalty.

Abstract: A refuge shelter includes a container. The shelter includes a tent that is disposed in the container in an undeployed state. The tent includes an inflatable support structure which is inflatable from an undeployed state in the container to a deployed state, and a seal which seals the tent to the container in a deployed state. The support structure has a plurality of hoses interconnected by couplers. The hoses have an inside diameter of less than 5 inches. A gas flow apparatus. A refuge shelter for miners in a mine includes a container and a tent that is disposed in the container. The tent has a test support to which a sample of the external environment can be obtained from inside the tent when the tent is deployed. A method for providing a refuge chamber for miners in a mine.

Abstract: A plurality of upstanding bracket assemblies, pipe assemblies, and fasteners are assembled into a plurality of modular fire suppression stations for use in the fire suppression system for a conveyor in an underground mine. Each station includes an upstanding bracket assembly, a fastener, a pipe assembly, and at least one sprinkler head. The fastener attaches the bracket assembly to the conveyor. The pipe assembly is supported by the bracket assembly. The pipe assembly receives water under pressure and directs the water to the sprinkler head. The sprinkler head directs the water onto the conveyor.

Abstract: An air conditioning system for a mine that operates in a mine environment. A condenser. A refuge system for protecting users from a toxic environment. The system comprises a refuge shelter. An evaporator. A method for cooling a refuge shelter. An inflatable chamber having an airlock, the airlock includes a tube that extends from the chamber's outer surface into the chamber's interior.
