-
2/1/2018 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to reduce the noise generated by the scrubber fan system present on continuous mining machines.
-
6/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing the intelligent proximity detection system that uses zones to keep mine workers safe around continuous mining machines.
-
3/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article by NIOSH reports and analyzes dust concentrations measured for remote-controlled continuous mining machine operators as well as haulage operators at 10 U.S. underground mines.
-
2/15/2016 - Conference proceedingsThis article discusses the development of an intelligent proximity detection (iPD) system which continually tracks the location of miners near a continuous mining machine and disables only those machine that might cause a pinning accident.
