• Electromagnetic Detection of Trapped Miners
  2/1/1984 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  The Bureau of Mines has conducted field studies in coal mines throughout the United States to determine the effectiveness of electromagnetic techniques in locating miners trapped underground following a mine accident.
• Development of a Phase Difference of Arrival Technique for Location of Trapped Miners
  9/1/1983 - Open File Reports
  Current technologies for locating trapped miners from the surface are either simple direction finders or time difference pulse systems that have accuracy limitations. Developing technologies using full-vector field measurements at several receiving poin...
• Evaluation of Safety Assessment Methods for the Mining Industry. Volume II: User's Manual of Safety Assessment Methods for Mine Safety Officials
  5/1/1983 - Contract reports
  This study examines a cross section of formal safety analysis techniques developed for the nuclear and aerospace industries, recommending those methods suitable for application to the mining industry and including those methods in a user's manual.
• A Feasibility Study for the Detection of Weak Electromagnetic Signal/ Bursts With Hard-Limited Arrays
  11/1/1981 - Contract reports
  A prototype detector using electromagnetic signals for finding trapped miners has previously been built and tested. The signals are generated from transmitters carried on the miner's belt and powered by his head lamp battery and the receiver is a human ...
• Propagation of EM Signals in Underground Metal/Non-Metal Mines: Magma Copper Company - San Manuel Mine
  4/1/1981 - Contract reports
  This report presents test results, data evaluations, and typical system performance expectations based on wireless electromagnetic propagation measurements performed in the MAGMA Copper Company San Manuel mine near Tucson, Arizona during March 30 throug...
• The Implementation of UHF Radio Communications and CCTV Monitoring Systems in a Room and Pillar Metal/Non-metal Mine
  3/1/1981 - Contract reports
  This report describes the design and implementation of UHF radio and closed-circuit television systems in the Black River room and pillar limestone mine near Butler, Pendleton County, Kentucky.
• Propagation of EM Signals in Underground Metal/Non-Metal Mines
  1/1/1981 - Contract reports
  This report describes the results of a measurement and analysis program to characterize wireless radio transmission in metal-nonmetal mines over a wide frequency range from 0.2 to 1,000 mhz and over a variety of mine environments.
• Development of a Visual Display and Control System
  10/1/1980 - Contract reports
  The object of this program was to extend the capabilities of visual paging systems both in size and functions in mines. The system developed uses the mine pager phone line for communication, monitoring, and remote control. The system was designed to be ...
• Detection of Trapped Miner Electromagnetic Signals Above Coal Mines
  7/1/1980 - Contract reports
  This report assesses the expected detectability, on the surface above mines, of electromagnetic signals produced in the 630- to 3,030-hz frequency band by a rescue transmitter activated by miners trapped underground. The implications of the results and ...
• Electromagnetic Location Systems for Metal/Non Metal Mines
  1/15/1979 - Contract reports
  Characteristics of metal-nonmetal mines were evaluated to determine the suitability of applying the Bureau of Mines electromagnetic (em) location system to locating trapped miners.
