Abstract: Described in detail herein is a system for determining the validity of a transaction in a distributed network environment. The system includes a plurality of peer servers. The system broadcast a first transaction to the plurality of peer servers. The system further elects at least one peer leader from the plurality of peer servers. The system further broadcasts a first set of indices associated with a first subset of transactions, received from the plurality of peer servers, to one or more of the plurality of peer servers. The system further executes a first instance of a binary agreement protocol based at least in part on a second subset of indices associated with a second subset of the transactions. The system further outputs a consensus vector comprising one or more of the transactions.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes an affective interaction apparatus, comprising an affective interaction computing module including a user intention computing processor to receive emotion-related data and an emotion state of a user; and identify a user intention based on the emotion-related data and the emotion state, the user intention including an affective intention and/or an interaction intention, the affective intention corresponding to the emotion state and including an affective need of the emotion state, the interaction intention including one or more transaction intentions.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and an electronic device for recommending crowdsourced tester and crowdsourced testing. The method comprises: collecting a requirement description of a crowd testing task at a time point in a process of crowd software testing and historical crowd testing reports of each tester to be recommended; obtaining a process context and a resource context of each tester to be recommended; inputting the extracted features into a learning to rank model to obtain an initial ranking list of the recommended testers, and re-ranking the initial ranking list based on diversity contributions of expertise and device to obtain a final ranking list. The disclosure can more accurately recommend testers to take accuracy and diversity of the recommended testers into consideration, so that the testers can be dynamically planned during the crowd testing to improve the bug detection rate, shorten the completion cycle of the crowd testing task.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a LPC2468-based MVB-WTB gateway and associated operating methods in the field of train communications. The disclosed network gateway includes a MVB network card and a WTB network card. The WTB network card includes WTB-ARM and a WTB-FPGA module. The MVB network card includes MVB-ARM and MVB-FPGA module. The WTB-ARM module uses a LPC2468 processor to analyze data in the network layer and the data link layer based on gateway protocol. The WTB-FPGA module allows WTB to exchange data with other networks gateways, as well as between the WTB and MVB. The MVB-ARM module is responsible for executing protocols on the network cards. Via data communications on MVB, the MVB-FPGA module collects the process and message data of the MVB equipment, and exchange communication data between WTB within a network gateway. The present invention can increase speed and enhance reliability for communications between gateways.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of communications on rail trains. A PicoBlaze-based MVB controller includes a pMVB controller, a traffic memory, an ARM adapter, and a bus arbiter. The pMVB controller, the traffic memory, ARM adapter, and the bus arbiter are connected to an external bus BUS1. The pMVB controller is connected to the traffic memory. The ARM adapter is connected to an external ARM processor and the bus arbiter. The traffic memory can store network communication data and input control information, and send them to the pMVB controller. The pMVB controller responds to the control information, and sends the communication data, and after it is encoded, to the MVB bus via the external bus BUS1. The pMVB controller also decodes data received from the pMVB bus and triggers an interrupt. The bus arbiter is responsible for bus arbitration in accordance with the instructions from the pMVB controller.
