SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEASURING MINE TUNNEL ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
The present invention discloses systems and methods of measuring environmental information in a mine tunnel. The system may comprise an ultrasonic anemometer, a multi-parameter monitor, a data acquisition module, a central control platform, a data communication module, a flexible manipulator, a power conversion module, a display and alarm module, and a computer. The multi-parameter monitor may comprise at least one of an infrared detector, a CH.sub.4 detector, a CO gas sensor, an O.sub.2 gas sensor, a CO.sub.2 gas sensor, and a temperature and humidity sensor. The system may also measure the airflow in large sections of a mine tunnel through the flexible manipulator. The method may be able to remote measure the underground environment and airflow during normal production of the mine, which helps improve the abilities of mine disaster response and relief while ensuring the safety of emergency rescue personnel.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FIRE VENTILATION AND SMOKE EVACUATION IN RUNNING TRAIN TUNNEL
A method and apparatus for fire ventilation and smoke evacuation in a running train tunnel are provided. The method includes: acquiring a traveling position of the train and a fire position on the train detected by the fire positioning device; predicting all possible stop positions of the train next in various sections of a subway tunnel according to a traveling direction and the traveling position of the train; according to the fire position, listing working state options of the air supply and smoke evacuation subsystems at both ends of each stop position, analyzing each working state option, and screening out a target air supply and smoke evacuation subsystem which only carries out smoke evacuation or air supply control from all the air supply and smoke evacuation subsystems; and performing linkage control on the target air supply and smoke evacuation subsystem.
Train station, in particular a tunnel-type train station, and use of a filter unit in a train station
A train station has at least one transportation route for traffic of vehicles, wherein the at least one transportation route is provided with a vehicle tunnel. At least one public waiting area is arranged adjacent to the at least one transportation route. An enclosure is provided in which the at least one public waiting area is arranged, wherein the enclosure has at least one side wall. At least one ambient air purification arrangement for purifying ambient air is provided that has one or more filter units for separating solid, liquid or gaseous ambient air pollutants from the ambient air. The one or more filter units are arranged at and/or in the at least one side wall of the enclosure.
Methane watchdog system, a cost effective approach to longwall methane monitoring and control
Various examples are provided related to methane detection in harsh environments. In one example, a method includes drawing a sample of air from at least one first location; delivering the sample to a volume within a sensor block at a second location, where the sensor block includes a gas concentration sensor in communication with the volume; and where a vacuum is applied to the volume within the sensor block to facilitate delivery of the sample to the second location. In another example, a system includes a sampling unit that houses a sensor block, where a sample tube is coupled to an inlet of the sensor block, which includes a gas concentration sensor; an ejector that facilitates delivery of a sample of air from the first location via the sample tube; and a control unit that can receive a gas concentration sensor output from the sampling unit for processing.
