1/1/1982 - Reports of InvestigationsThe 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.
-
11/1/1981 - Contract reports, Open File ReportsAdvanced communication and monitoring systems were developed and demonstrated in three underground mines representing different mining techniques, geographical areas, and material mined.
-
7/1/1980 - Contract reportsThis 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 ...
-
1/1/1976 - Reports of InvestigationsThe 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...

11/1/1974 - Contract reportsThe report describes the design and building of 15 mancarried and 5 helicopter receivers that are used for trapped miner location during a mine disaster. Helicopters are equipped with six-channel receivers and used to detect transmitters carried by mine...
-
9/1/1974 - Contract reportsVolume I of this report deals with theoretical, experimental, and practical implementation aspects of the federal Bureau of Mines programs related to present and planned, emergency and operational, mine communications and miner location systems for unde...
-
7/1/1974 - Contract reportsVolume II of this report (Contract No. H0122026) presents the findings of a short intensive assessment performed during the fall of 1972. This assessment provided the federal Bureau of Mines with independent technical judgments regarding the potentials ...
-
3/1/1972 - Contract reports, Open File ReportsThis report comprises three working memoranda that present preliminary performance estimates for baseband voice and narrowband through-the-earth electromagnetic communications systems of principal interest to the Bureau of Mines for operational/emergenc...
