  • Patent number: 11828177
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a comprehensive utilization method and test equipment for surface water, a goaf and geothermal energy in a coal mining subsidence area. The method comprises the following steps: determining a geothermal water collection area, arranging heat energy exchange equipment in a main roadway, and arranging a geothermal water extraction system, wherein the geothermal water extraction system comprises geothermal wells, extraction pipelines and tail water reinjection pipelines, the extraction pipelines are connected with the heat energy exchange equipment, and the tail water reinjection pipelines are connected with a water outlet of the heat energy exchange equipment; arranging a water channel on the surface, and arranging a drainage system on a subsidence trough to guide surface water to flow underground; and controlling directional and ordered flow of surface water through the coal mining subsidence area formed by ground mining to achieve sustainable mining of underground water.

  • Patent number: 11641208
    Abstract: A frequency locking method for a phase-locked loop comprises the following steps: S1, a frequency control module controls a numerically controlled oscillator to obtain an maximum output frequency and a minimum output frequency; S2, obtain a minimum frequency ratio and a maximum frequency ratio by means of a time-to-digital converter and the frequency control module; S3, calculate a first frequency control word and a first frequency ratio according to the minimum frequency ratio and the maximum frequency ratio; S4, the frequency control module uses the Newton's iterative method to recalculate a new frequency control word; S5, obtain a new frequency ratio according to the new frequency control word; S6, if the new frequency ratio is within an error range, end iteration and stably output the new frequency control word, and otherwise, jump to step S4.

  • Patent number: 7216593
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating waste includes a vessel and DC and/or AC plasma torches with a variable flame mounted with the vessel. The flames generated by the torches can be adjusted depending on the characteristics of the waste being treated. Waste can be introduced into the vessel and heated with energy from the flame. The energy can melt or vitrify the inorganic portion of the waste and gasify and dissociate the organic portion of the waste. This dissociation can destroy the hazardous or toxic constituency of the waste.
