  • Patent number: 11702936
    Abstract: A grouting device for high-coagulability grouting materialsincludes a grouting pipe, a connector and a self-sealing pipe head, wherein one end of the connector is connected with a grouting pump through the grouting pipe, the other end of the connector is connected with the self-sealing pipe head through the grouting pipe, and the grouting pipe is connected with the connector and the self-sealing pipe head in a fixed and sealed mode. The grouting device is easy to install, features reliable connection between the grouting pipe and the connector and the self-sealing pipe head, and can be reused. Because the inner diameter of the connector is consistent with the inner diameter of the grouting pipe, and a slurry outlet on an end cap of the self-sealing pipe head is a circular slurry outlet, pressure loss in the grouting process is effectively reduced, and the grouting effect is good.

  • Patent number: 11609342
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for calculating a location of an autonomous driving vehicle includes receiving new global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data. The method further includes identifying a first previously estimated location from a plurality of previously estimated locations with a timestamp that is closest to the timestamp of the new GNSS data and identifying a second previously estimated location from the plurality of previously estimated locations with a most recent timestamp. The method further includes calculating a difference between the first previously estimated location and the second previously estimated location, adjusting the new GNSS data based on the difference; and calculating a current estimated location of the ADV based on the adjusted GNSS data.

  • Patent number: 11306588
    Abstract: A method of treating tunnel collapse includes leveling a collapse body and moving a pavilion support under the collapse cavity, lifting a shield plate until a lower edge of the shield plate surpasses a contour line of an initial supporting arch of a tunnel, connecting a bottom column and inserting a padding plate under a column. If the hydraulic prop retracts, the column, the bottom column, the padding plate and the hydraulic prop bear a load from the shield plate. Mounting and connecting the initial supporting arch, welding the intersection point of the column and the initial supporting arch, cutting off the column in the initial supporting arch. Transferring the load of the shield plate from the pavilion support to an initial supporting shed, spraying fast-setting concrete to a grid arch to form a closed shell, and pumping filling material to fill the space of the collapse cavity.
