Publication number: 20230053646Abstract: The disclosure provides a photodegradant for carbamazepine, a method and an apparatus for degrading carbamazepine, and relates to the technical filed of degradation of organic pollutants. The photodegradant provided by the disclosure includes a composite solution of a persulfate and a sulfite. In the disclosure, ultraviolet (UV), the persulfate (PS) and the sulfite (S(IV)) are combined to degrade carbamazepine, during which hydrogen sulfate (HSO3?) generated by the hydrolysis of sulfite in water participates in the reaction to produce a large amount of SO4?? and HO?, thus improving the degradation rate and degradation efficiency of carbamazepine. The composite advanced oxidation system, i.e., the ultraviolet/persulfate/sulfite (UV/PS/S(IV)) system, provided by the disclosure has stronger oxidizability than the ultraviolet/persulfate (UV/PS) system and the ultraviolet/sulfite (UV/S(IV)) system, and results in high degradation rate and high degradation efficiency of carbamazepine.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2021Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: Yingzi LIN, Hao YANG, Siwen LI, Gen LIU, Hao LI, Mingliang ZHOU, Yuhang WEI

Publication number: 20220155196Abstract: This disclosure describes an in-situ surrounding rock testing device and method. The testing device includes a collection device and a control terminal. The collection device includes a pressure cell, displacement meters and a magnetic base. When mechanical properties of surrounding rock are tested, the collection device is only necessary to be installed on an outer surface of a gripper of a TBM. The outer surface of the gripper is coupled to a rear end surface of the magnetic base; a front end surface of the pressure cell and displacement meters are in contact with the surrounding rock. The pressure cell measures pressures undergone by the surrounding rock. The displacement meters measure a total compaction displacement of the surrounding rock relative to the collection device. A pressure-displacement curve of the surrounding rock can be obtained by the testing device while pressing the gripper tightly against the surrounding rock.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2021Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Yadong Xue, Rundong Zhang, Jiaxuan Wang, Yongqiang Fan, Hongfei Zhang, Mingliang Zhou, Liyun XUE

Patent number: 11025914Abstract: A method for video coding with global rate-distortion optimization-based rate control (RC) is provided. By using this video coding method, an RC scheme for High dynamic range (HDR) in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is provided. Briefly, considering the characteristics of HDR image content, a rate-distortion (R-D) model based on HDR-Visual Difference Predictor (VDP)-2 for performance optimization is provided. In the optimization process, the ? is directly utilized rather than the bit rate to obtain the globally optimal solution. Finally, the model parameter estimation method is used to reduce errors. The video coding method of the present invention is verified that bit rate reduction on average can be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2020Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: TFI Digital Media LimitedInventors: Yiu Fai Yuen, Mingliang Zhou, Xuekai Wei, Shiqi Wang, Sam Tak Wu Kwong, Chi Keung Fong, Hon Wah Wong
