Abstract: A gas permeable metal with a porosity gradient and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. A second lamination layer and a third lamination layer are respectively connected to two opposite sides of a first lamination layer. A pore diameter of the first lamination layer is larger than that of the second lamination layer. Thereby while being applied to molds, a mold cavity is mounted in the second lamination layer with smaller pore diameter so that products formed have fine and smooth surfaces. The arrangement of the first lamination layer with larger pore diameter is used for effective escape of gas generated during product production process. According to production requirements for products, a pore diameter of the third lamination layer can be adjusted to be not larger than that of the first lamination layer. Thus mechanical strength and gas exhaust capacity can be balanced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implementation method for graphic-blockchain-orientated hybrid consensus, at least comprising: calling at least one module to generate a new data block and broadcast it; calling at least one module to check and validate the received new block based on predetermined rules; calling at least one module to generate a void block; and calling at least one module to update a committee member list. The existing graphic blockchain can only achieve probabilistic consensus, yet the present invention achieves deterministic consensus on graphic blockchain for the first time, thereby reaching consensus faster. The present invention decouples generation and consensus of blocks for the first time, so that the two parts can be designed separately in a modularized manner. The present invention provides the first totally decentralized hybrid consensus algorithm in the graphic blockchain. This is unachievable to many existing graphic blockchain such as IOTA and Obyte.
