  • Publication number: 20250031975
    Abstract: A temperature measuring method and apparatus based on creatine chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging. The method comprises the following steps: (1) performing creatine CEST imaging on a creatine phantom, and analyzing a chemical shift of creatine relative to water in the creatine phantom; (2) fitting a mathematical relation between the chemical shift of the creatine relative to water and the temperature; and (3) performing CEST imaging on creatine in a sample, and calculating the temperature according to the mathematical relation, fitted in step (2), between the chemical shift of the creatine relative to water and the temperature. In the temperature measuring method, the creatine is taken as an endogenous reference, and highly-spatial-resolution, highly-sensitive, and non-invasive absolute temperature measurement can be implemented by means of temperature dependence of a CEST effect of Cr and water.

  • Patent number: 11524927
    Abstract: Monoethylene glycol (MEG) may be reclaimed by a process that includes contacting a MEG-water-salt stream with a heat transfer fluid and then flash separating the MEG and water in the flash separator vessel where the pressure is higher than 0.3 barA (0.03 MPa), the temperature is in the range of above 120° C. to about 250° C., and the residence time of the MEG and water ranges from about 1 second to about 10 minutes, and then removing the MEG and water in an overhead of the flash separator vessel and removing the salt from the flash separator vessel. In some embodiments it is expected that the temperature of the process may range from above 165° C. to about 250° C. and/or that the pressure may be atmospheric.

  • Patent number: 11025417
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cross-blockchain data access method, apparatus and system, and a computer readable medium. The method comprises: sending an authorizing blockchain apparatus a block data request carrying a requesting blockchain apparatus identifier and authorization information, so that the authorizing blockchain apparatus verifies whether the authorization information corresponding to locally-stored requesting blockchain apparatus identifier is matched with the authorization information in the block data request; receiving block data sent by the authorizing blockchain apparatus and corresponding to the block data request, the block data being sent after the authorizing blockchain apparatus verifies that the authorization information corresponding to locally-stored requesting blockchain apparatus identifier is matched with the authorization information in the block data request.

  • Patent number: 9578613
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for determining clock desynchronization. The method includes: detecting a cell with exceptional IN information or power information among all cells of base stations throughout a network according to network measurement data sent by a base station, and using the cell as a first cell, where the network measurement data includes interference and noise (IN) information or power information; and sorting the first cell according to different types of exceptions of the IN information or power information, so as to determine that one or more of the base stations throughout the network are in clock desynchronization.
