Abstract: A method for desalinating a brine includes the use of a cooled intermediate-cold-liquid (ICL), which combines with the brine in a crystallization or freezing tank to produce a slurry of ice, brine, and ICL. The method includes steps for separating the ICL, ice and brine, and returning the separated ICL to the source of cooled ICL tank. The method concludes with the steps of passing the separated brine to the crystallization tank, and melting the separated ice to form desalinated water. The method is significant in that it produces desalinated liquid water and solid salts. The combination of superior heat transfer with high quality purified water and competitive desalination economy makes the disclosed freeze desalination technology an attractive solution for desalination of highly concentrated brines produced in a variety of industries, including but not limited to the oil and gas industry and reject brine management.

Abstract: An ultrasonic non-destructive testing method and system for detecting lithium precipitation in lithium-ion batteries are provided. The method includes the following steps: acquiring full matrix capture data of the lithium-ion battery using an ultrasonic phased array transducer; inputting the measured ultrasonic data into the initial fully convolutional network (FCN), which outputs a predicted ultrasonic velocity model; using the predicted model as the initial input for an acoustic wave equation that outputs reconstructed ultrasonic data; constructing a loss function using the deviation between the measured and reconstructed ultrasonic data, and iterating until the loss function converges. This process completes the training of the unsupervised FCN. The trained FCN then outputs an accurate reconstructed ultrasonic velocity model that represents the lithium precipitation in the battery.

Abstract: A feed-forward equalizer includes a shift register, a look-up table circuit, a selection circuit and an output terminal. The shift register temporarily stores and shifts input data based on a clock signal to obtain multiple shifted input data. The look-up table circuit has multiple processed signals. The processed signals are obtained by logical operation of multiple coefficients. An input terminal of the selection circuit is coupled to the look-up table circuit. A control terminal of the selection circuit receives the shifted input data. The selection circuit selects at least one of the processed signals of the look-up table circuit as a selected signal based on the shifted input data. The output terminal provides an output signal according to the selected signal.
