Title: Optimized mine ventilation system
Inventor: MASSE MICHEL
IPC: E21F1/00
Filed: 2008-09-01
Granted: 2013-05-16
Abstract: The optimized mine ventilation system of this invention supplements mine ventilation basic control systems composed of PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers with human machine interfaces from vendors such as Allen- Bradley™, Modicon™ and others) or DCSs (Distributed Control System from vendors such as ABB™ and others) with supervisory control establishing a dynamic ventilation demand as a function of real-time tracking of machinery and/or personnel location and where this demand is optimally distributed in the work zones via the mine ventilation network and where the energy required to ventilate is minimized while totally satisfying the demand for each work zones. The optimized mine ventilation system operates on the basis of a predictive dynamic simulation model of the mine ventilation network along with emulated control equipment such as fans and air flow regulators. The model always reaches an air mass flow balance where the pressure and density is preferably compensated for depth and accounts for the natural ventilation pressure flows due to temperature differences. Model setpoints are checked for safety bounds and sent to real physical control equipment via the basic control system.

Title: Part-throttle performance optimization
Inventor: SOPKO THOMAS M
IPC: B60W50/06
Filed: 2008-12-03
Granted: 2013-06-20
Abstract: A system and method for optimizing machine performance using speed shaping in a machine having an engine (11) and a drivetrain implementing engine underspeed module (16) receives a throttle command requesting an increase in engine speed (27) and transmits the throttle command to the engine (11). If the requested increase exceeds a predetermined function, the predetermined function is forwarded to the engine underspeed module (16) as a speed standard (22). The engine underspeed module determines whether the actual engine speed (27) attained by the engine (11) is less than the speed standard (22) by more than a predetermined gap value and, if so, reduces the power required by the drivetrain to avoid lugging of the engine (11).
