-
5/1/2000 - Reports of InvestigationsResearchers at NIOSH tested a number of commercially available and experimental sensors that monitor obstacles in a vehicle's blind spots.
-
10/1/1999 - Reports of InvestigationsAn analysis of the consequences of increasing longwall panel dimensions, particularly face width, in gassy coalbeds. Continuous longwall face emission monitoring studies were conducted at two adjacent mines operating in the Pocahontas No. 3 Coalbed, whe...
-
5/1/1998 - Reports of InvestigationsFull-scale testing and results are described for an automated system that continuously monitors the accumulation of coal dust in mine entries.
-
11/1/1997 - Reports of InvestigationsThe results of laboratory, field, and open pit accuracy and performance testing of the Honeywell Ring Laser Gyro Inertial Navigation System, a navigation system designed to provide the heading and location of a remote controlled miner, are presented.
-
5/1/1997 - Reports of InvestigationsThe article discusses the applicability of computerized signal analysis techniques to identify fault currents existing on coal mine direct-current trolley systems
-
11/1/1995 - Reports of InvestigationsLaboratory and field testing results are presented for reducing dust and/or gas ignitions associated with blasting operations in oil shale and sulfide ore mining applications.
-
1/1/1995 - Reports of InvestigationsDisplacement and stress changes in cemented backfill and ore pillars at the Buick Mine, near Boss, MO, were monitored by engineers from the U.S. Bureau of Mines and The Doe Run Co., St Louis, MO. Objectives of this research were to evaluate the effect ...
-
1/1/1995 - Reports of InvestigationsDust control modifications were implemented on small, truck-mounted rock drills at surface coal mines. The control techniques showed noticeable improvement in measured dust concentrations around the drills.
-
1/1/1993 - Reports of InvestigationsThe U.S. Bureau of Mines investigated the performance of portable power cables under transient conditions. This research had a twofold purpose: (1) to define the thermal characteristics of electrically overloaded trailing cables, and (2) to conceptuali...
