9/18/2012 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to design a prototype two-way, through-the-earth (TTE) emergency communication system, fabricate the hardware, and test the system at an underground coal mine.
-
9/18/2012 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to address issues associated with battery selection, use, and charging for the underground coal mining environment, specifically with respect to MINER Act requirements for mine communications and personnel tracking technology.
-
9/17/2012 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to develop and demonstrate a modified, fiber optic-based perimeter security system to track personnel in an underground coal mine.
-
12/1/2011 - Technology NewsA surface network system using off-the-shelf components successfully established strategic communications links in a limited mine-simulated environment. The system could be expanded to link other communication devices and a command center.
-
11/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesEmergency training for miners can use inoculation theory, which explains how people can resist persuasion attempts by preparing counterarguments in advance. The theory may be used to prepare workers to react quickly by preparing responses in advance.
-
11/1/2011 - Reports of Investigations, Training materialsNonverbal Communication for Mine Emergencies is a training program that teaches miners a series of nonverbal hand signals to use in the event of an emergency. These hand signals can be used by miners if they are unable to communicate verbally.
-
9/1/2011 - Technology NewsPossible benefits of the use of reverse RFID for personnel tracking are: improvements in accuracy, the ability to interface to a variety of mine communications infrastructures, better system survivability, and easier installation and maintenance.
-
8/1/2011 - Reports of Investigations, Training materialsRadio 101 is a program to train miners in the use of two-way radio communication in the mines.
-
9/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the results of initial testing of the NIOSH Multifit4 system that was designed to be used as a tool by qualified researchers to evaluate hearing protector training and fit interventions at worksites.
-
4/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper presents an acoustic assessment of pneumatic and electric jackleg drills involving Noise Source Identification (NSID), penetration rate measurements, operator’s cumulative noise dose measurements, and determination of sound power levels.
