Abstract: A processing method for automatically generating machining features is provided. A workpiece CAD file is obtained to perform a CAD numerical analysis on a blank body. With the workpiece CAD file being used as a target, a workpiece CAD appearance is compared with the blank body to obtain a feature identification result of a first to-be-processed blank body, which includes identifying data of a to-be-removed blank body and a feature of a first processing surface. A geometric analysis is performed on the first processing surface feature and a tool selection range is determined. A virtual cutting simulation is performed on the first processing surface to generate a processed area data and an unprocessed area data. A spatial coordinate mapping comparison between the unprocessed area data and a surface data of the workpiece CAD file is performed to obtain a feature identification result of a second to-be-processed blank body.

Abstract: A saline feed stream flows into a liquid-liquid extraction system; and a volatile organic solvent flows through a main compressor. The compressed volatile organic solvent then flows through a solvent regenerator, which can be a heat exchanger or a combination of a vaporization device and a condenser, to cool the volatile organic solvent. The cooled volatile organic solvent in liquid phase then flows into the liquid-liquid extraction system, where the saline feed stream contacts the volatile organic solvent to selectively extract water from the saline feed stream into the volatile organic solvent, producing a concentrated brine and an organic-rich mixture of water and the volatile organic solvent. The organic-rich mixture flows from the liquid-liquid extraction system into the solvent regenerator, where the organic-rich mixture is heated to produce an organic-rich vapor and desalinated water; and the organic-rich vapor is recycled as volatile organic solvent back into the liquid-liquid extraction system.

Abstract: A mining method for sample grouping is provided. The method includes the following steps. A field dataset including multiple samples is obtained, and each sample corresponds to an actual labeled result. The samples are respectively input to an existing model, so as to obtain the estimated results. An outlier sample set in the field dataset is removed based on a difference distribution of the estimated results and the actual labeled results, and the samples that remain in the field dataset form a remaining sample set. The remaining sample set is grouped into a hard sample set and an easy sample set based on the estimated results of the remaining sample set.
