## Rescue POD Safety System

- Gamma Services is a Safety and Production
- Assistance Company.

- Welcome !

- Patent Pending

## Why a Rescue POD

- Loss of our fallen colleagues.
- Modern technology is being pursued by the mining community as a result of the recent loss of lives.
- Seal-In-Bratticing has often been a last ditch effort to save your life when all other options have been exhausted to exit the mine, with very few successful attempts.
- Miners are among the most independent and self-reliant people in the world.
- Naturally, miners prefer self-rescue than to rely on a rescue party to reach them from the surface. Building a trust between the miners and the equipment.

- Patent Pending

## Key Components

- Rescue POD is a fully deployed rugged steel enclosure to help shelter miners from secondary explosions and roof falls while providing breathable oxygen.  A POD typically stays with a mining unit although additional POD’s can be located out-by the working sections.
- The standard size Rescue POD is designed to support life for 16 people for 96+ hours in a compact size: (16 feet long X 5.7 feet wide X 3.7 feet high).
- Incorporate Through-The-Earth, battery powered, Geosteering TG MinerTracker , while inside and/or near the Rescue POD.

- Patent Pending

## Key Components (Cont.)

- Mine atmosphere with as little as 4% oxygen can be used as an oxygen source.
- Temperature reduction support system.
- CO, CH4, CO2, N2, Ar, scrubber and H2O  dehumidifier inside the Rescue POD.
- Portable self contained breathing units adds to interior oxygen supply.
- Interior and Exterior monitoring CH4 and CO2 levels

- Patent Pending

## Key Components (Cont.)

- Nutrition and hydrating supplies for miners.
- Canister toilet with privacy curtain.
- Chem.-stick Lighting
- Introducing a Nitrogen foaming fire fighting technique while miners are down stream of the fire, regardless of the limited gas levels.

- Patent Pending

## Oxygen Transfer

## Conclusion

- Utilization of rescue PODs for each mining unit could be a useful method of saving lives during mining disasters.
- Gamma Services along with all the supporting companies believes our approach is one of the  answer’s to saving lives right now.
- However if new ideas or guidance arises in the future, we will change our direction to expedite the deployment for life saving devices to the mining community.

## Growth of All-Metal 3D Photonic Crystals With a Large Infrared Band Gap

- The tungsten 3D photonic crystal was made by selectively removing Si from already fabricated polysilicon/SiO2 structures, and back-filling the resulting mould with chemical vapour deposited (CVD) tungsten.

- This method could be extended to create almost any 3D single-crystal metallic photonic crystal at infrared wavelengths; such photonic crystals have not previously been achievable.

- Last 2 weeks

- Getting better

- MH2 Replaced

##  Shutdown Schedule

## Shutdown News

- Considering delaying shutdown 1-2 weeks to increase chance of reaching 225 pb-1 this fiscal year.
- Most contracts are still in the system.
- Decision will be made by next Wednesday or it becomes *very* expensive.
- Do we have any problems with this?
- Strong possibility that shutdown will be extended to 10 weeks.
- Decision will be made by Monday
- Might want to change our schedule
- Possibly wait a week to start anything??? (discuss)
- Delay dogleg work by 1 week?
- Come up after dogleg work complete, tune up a bit, then shut down again to install large aperture RF cavities?
- Any other ideas?

## ALARA, etc

- EDWA job

- dogleg job

- Collimator job

- RF  job?

- Will this be a problem?

-      What specialprecautions should we take and what special preparations can we make?

## Focus on Latin America

**Focus on Latin America**

- Emerging epidemics
- Significant ongoing activities
-  NIDA – new strategic approach (networks, needs)

**Notes:**
As I mentioned earlier this morning, the Latin America Initiative represents a significant focus for both NIDA and the International Program. The Institute’s goal is to increase training opportunities for health care workers and researchers to improve the diagnosis and treatment of drug abuse, advance regional surveillance efforts, enhance data analysis to better understand the prevalence and impact of drug abuse and drug-related consequences, and develop a research infrastructure to conduct multi-site clinical trials.
This plenary session and the Spanish-language session this afternoon add to the International Program’s efforts to help Latin American scientists create a regional network of drug abuse experts.

## Tracking Particles I

- Charged particle traversing the scintillator (plastic) produces light impulses (blue)

**Light ray bounces inside the scintillator reflected by the white coating**

**Until it hits the fiber (shown as green circle) in the middle. There...**

## Tracking Particles II

**Blue photons are absorbed by a waveshifting dye inside a fiber and  green photons are emitted. (Some of) Green photons are trapped inside the fiber. Fiber guides the green light to the photodetector. **

**A stack of scintillators with waveshifting fibers. A pattern of ‘hit’ fibers reveals a trajectory of a particle. **

## Test and Homework (Boothwork?)

- Test
- Q: What color us the green fiber?
- A: It depends! It appears green because it converts blue light entering it and emits green light. If there was no blue light (like inside a yellow filter box) the fiber would appear colorless.
- Homework
- We do not want to operate particle sources here to produce  light inside the scintillator. But an UV lamp will do as well. Go to the QuarkNet stand and illuminate the scintillator with the lamp. Look at the green light collected b the fiber. Notice that you can use the fiber ‘to bring’ the green like to a place of your choice.
