• Performance Evaluation of Electromagnetic Techniques for the Location of Trapped Miners
  1/1/1982 - Reports of Investigations
  The Bureau of Mines (NIOSH Mining) 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.
• A Communication and Monitoring System for an Underground Coal Mine, Iron Ore Mine, and Deep Underground Silver Mine
  11/1/1981 - Contract reports, Open File Reports
  Advanced communication and monitoring systems were developed and demonstrated in three underground mines representing different mining techniques, geographical areas, and material mined.
• 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 ...
• An Electromagnetic System for Detecting and Locating Trapped Miners
  1/1/1976 - Reports of Investigations
  The theory of electromagnetic fields indicates such fields could be used to detect and locate trapped miners. To be useful, the hardware of the system must meet a number of requirements, including small size, intrinsic safety, and rugged construction. S...
