Publication number: 20240068809Abstract: A monitoring system includes a reference station, a mobile station, a plurality of integrated sensing units, and a server. The reference station is configured to provide fixed reference coordinates to the server. The mobile station transmits multi-frequency electromagnetic wave signals to the integrated sensing units. Based on water depth and position information detected by sensors of the integrated sensing units in combination with information of electromagnetic wave signals as well as a propagation distance and time, displacement information of the integrated sensing units can be obtained. The data is transmitted to the mobile station, which further transmits the data to the server, to accomplish monitoring for the reservoir landslide water-level-fluctuation zone. Automated monitoring is achieved and the monitoring cycle covers the entire deformation and evolution phases of landslides.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: CHINA UNIVERSITY OF GEOSCIENCES (WUHAN)Inventors: Xinping ZHANG, Junrong ZHANG, Huiming TANG, Changdong LI, Xinli HU, Yongquan ZHANG

Patent number: 8368896Abstract: Configurations herein include a novel process, system, etc., to measure a concentration of sulfur trioxide in a gas sample including sulfur trioxide, sulfur dioxide, and water. An example system can include an optical radiation source that generates an optical signal at a plurality of vibration-rotation transitions around at least one frequency selected from the group consisting of 1396.889 cm?1, 1396.908 cm?1, 1396.962 cm?1, 1397.003 cm?1, 1397.037 cm?1, 1397.047 cm?1, and 1397.052 cm?1. The optical signal is transmitted along an optical path through the gas sample. Based on adjusting a pressure of the gas sample, each of the plurality of vibration-rotation absorption transitions associated with the sulfur trioxide can be substantially isolated from interfering absorption by the sulfur dioxide and the water vapor in the gas sample. Based on a spectral analysis, the system generates a value indicative of a concentration of sulfur trioxide in the gas sample.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.Inventors: Yongquan Li, Jeffrey S.

Patent number: 7891405Abstract: A water-cooled mold for continuous casting includes two water-cooled wide copper plates arranged opposite to each other in a front and back direction and two water-cooled narrow copper plates arranged opposite to each other in a left and right direction. The upper portion of the cavity of the mold is a sprue area and the lower portion of the cavity is a mold cavity area. The sprue area is gradually narrowed in the casting direction and smoothly transited into the mold cavity, corresponding to the shape of a slab to be cast. The inside surfaces of the water-cooled narrow copper plates are smooth planar surfaces.
