  • Patent number: 12258860
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for predicting an amount of water-sealed gas in a high-sulfur water-bearing gas reservoir. The method solves the problem that no method has yet been proposed for predicting the amount of water-sealed gas in a high-sulfur water-bearing gas reservoir. According to the technical solution, the method includes: considering that the volume of the gas reservoir does not change during the production of the constant-volume gas reservoir, deriving, based on a material balance method, a material balance equation of the high-sulfur water-bearing gas reservoir in consideration of water-sealed gas and water-soluble gas, solving and drawing a chart of water-sealed gas in the high-sulfur water-bearing gas reservoir by an iterative algorithm, obtaining a recovery factor of the high-sulfur water-bearing gas reservoir in consideration of water-sealed gas and water-soluble gas, and further obtaining the amount of water-seal gas in the high-sulfur water-bearing gas reservoir.

  • Patent number: 10624525
    Abstract: An endoscopic system includes a mechanical arm, an endoscope and a control unit. The endoscope is held by the mechanical arm, and is configured to capture an image. The control unit is electrically connected to the mechanical arm and the endoscope, and is configured to receive and process the image captured by the endoscope, to determine whether the image has at least two specific instruments that are arranged in a specific configuration, and to drive the mechanical arm to move the endoscope when the determination is affirmative.

  • Patent number: 10463308
    Abstract: A lower limb spasticity measurement method includes the step of setting the lower limbs of the person in a lower limb orthotic device of a gait activity machine, the step of starting up a motor of the gait activity machine to drive the lower limb orthotic device for lower limb activity, the step of getting a statistical distribution data from the output torque of the motor within a predetermined time and then calculating the statistical distribution data to obtain a threshold, and the step of determining whether the output torque of the motor is greater than the threshold or not, and then stopping motor if the output torque of the motor is greater than the threshold. Thus, the method of the invention can accurately measures spasticity in the lower limbs of a person without the use of sensors, effectively saving the cost of equipment.

  • Patent number: 6889756
    Abstract: An isothermal heat sink use operational principles of heat pipes and includes a plate-like body including a housing, an interior partition and a wick. The housing has an inner chamber under a vacuum. The interior partition divides the inner chamber into an upper and lower half chamber and has a central through hole and multiple air passages. The wick containing a working fluid is held in the central through hole and has a lower evaporating section and an upper condensing section that are held respectively in the lower and the upper half chambers. Therefore, the working fluid in the evaporating section evaporates and produces a vapor that enters the upper half chamber from the lower half chamber through the air passages. The vapor condenses into liquid that enters the condensing section and returns to the evaporating section to improve cooling efficiency of the heat sink.
