Structural discrimination indexes of an ordovician limestone top filling zone and a determination method, coal field-based ordovician limestone top filling zones of a buried depth of more than 300 m, according to structural discrimination indexes of the drilling unit water inflow q value, the underground drilling dewatering test Q value and the penetration test K value, are divided into three types of the ordovician limestone top water-resisting filling zones: a water-resisting filling zone, a weak water-resisting filling zone and a water-enriched zone. The water-resisting filling zone can be directly used as a water-resisting layer, the weak water-resisting filling zone can be used after having been improved into the water-resisting layer by grouting. The structural discrimination indexes of the method are obtained from conventional hydrological tests, and the method is relatively simple to obtain and easy to operate by field staffs.

A printed code associated with a product is illuminated with light having a first lighting characteristic, and is readable in a default mode of an imaging reader. An electronic code displayed on a mobile communication device is readable in another mode of the reader, with a different second lighting characteristic that is designed to minimize specular reflection from a screen of the device. When the presence of the device in close proximity to the reader is detected, the reader is automatically configured to switch from the default mode to the other mode to enable the electronic code to be read.

A process is provided for treating produced water resulting from an oil recovery operation. Produced water is subjected to a softening process wherein a caustic or other softening reagent is added to the produced water to increase the pH of the produced water. Downstream of softening, there is provided an evaporator for evaporating at least a portion of the produced water and producing steam and a concentrated brine. At least a portion of the concentrated brine is recycled upstream of the evaporator and mixed with the produced water and the softening reagent to enhance the softening process.

A modular mining-enrichment complex contains a preparatory module, an enrichment module and a finishing module, which are united by a control module. The complex can additionally contain a suction module and a disintegration module. A classifying sifter which is part of the preparatory module is in the form of a grate sieve inclined at a horizontal and vertical angle with the ability to change said angles. A conveyor line for above-sieve aggregate includes an inspection area. A hopper with a feeder feeds below-sieve aggregate into a crusher (or onto the classifying sifter) in order to prepare a machine class. A jigging sieve of a loading compartment of a jigging machine which is part of the enrichment module is installed at an angle. The operating surface thereof is longer than the operating surfaces of other sections. An unloading device, in the form of an elevator or funnel, is installed with the ability to unload products onto a dewatering screen.
