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.
-
1/1/2010 - Conference papersThis paper describes two algorithms that can provide greater accuracy for underground miner tracking systems.
-
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.
