1/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper introduces algorithms to locate miners with no need for external reference sensors. There are definitions of useful mathematical operations that can be performed on the node coordinates and includes a description of the algorithms.
-
9/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper discusses changes that new legislation and regulations are making to the U.S. coal mining industry, and current research that is producing technologies to make mining safer.

4/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesIn this study, the operators of a limestone mine retrofitted a loader used for clean-up operations with a passive DPF that was lightly catalyzed and used a fuel additive to initiate regeneration at low exhaust temperatures.
-
2/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThe results of this study by NIOSH have served to provide performance data in support of the procedures described in the international standard methods, for which such results were previously unavailable in the peer-reviewed literature.

1/1/2009 - Conference papersThis paper introduces two position adjustment methods for mine tracking systems which use a coplanar node-path network mine model as the foundation for their development.
-
10/1/2008 - Information CircularsThis NIOSH pilot project demonstrated that most US mines have the capability to successfully implement an MHRA. The basic requirement for a successful MHRA is the desire to become more proactive in reducing risks associated with catastrophic events.
-
7/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper will review current and historic work practices used internationally to minimize the hazard to miners from mining in conditions which could produce a bump.
-
6/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes research conducted to compare the performance, including response time and accuracy, of selected instruments using infrared and catalytic sensors.
-
6/1/2008 - Unpublished documents and reportsThis document supports Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) proposed rule making for the CPDM.
