  • Publication number: 20240184960
    Abstract: The invention provides a calculation method for dike breach development process, which relates to the field of flood disaster prevention. In this method, the influence of hydrodynamic on the development rate of the breach is considered, and the unit discharge of the breach is taken as the main parameter. The parameter expression between the hydrodynamic factors and the development process of the breach is established for both lateral widening and vertical downcutting. According to the invention, the whole development process of dike breach can be calculated with only a few parameters, and the main parameter unit discharge can be directly obtained by the discharge formula of broad crested weir. As the calculation incorporating as much physical mechanism as possible and simple calculation procedure, the method has high practicability, good repeatability and scientificity.

  • Patent number: 11184319
    Abstract: A method, a device, an apparatus and a computer-readable storage medium for MAC address conflict detection. The method includes: in response to detecting a wireless local area network, transmitting, at a first device, a dummy MAC address of the first device to a second device in the wireless local area network, the dummy MAC address being different from a real MAC address of the first device; transmitting an address conflict detection request for the dummy MAC address to the second device; and in response to an address conflict detection response from the second device indicating that there is no conflict for the dummy MAC address, establishing a connection with the wireless local area network. The method may effectively protect privacy information for a user of a terminal device, while avoiding a MAC address conflict, such that the user can communicate in a secure network environment.

  • Patent number: 9197550
    Abstract: A method and corresponding device for determining forwarding rule for data packet in Virtual Private LAN Service with Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB-VPLS) network are disclosed. In the method, a value in a backbone service instance identifier (I-SID) field of the received data packet is firstly examined, then a virtual split horizon group corresponding to the data packets is determined based on the I-SID value, wherein the virtual split horizon group defines a forwarding rule for the data packets between different pseudo wire ports of the PBB-VPLS network. With the dynamic split horizon group, the method dynamically adapts to different forwarding rules for multiple I-VPLS instances with different tree topologies, and is capable of supporting multiple I-VPLS instances with different root sites and tree topologies in one B-VPLS instance, thereby ensuring the stability of the backbone network and reducing the network operation cost.

  • Publication number: 20050254062
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for detecting the presence or amount or rate of binding of an analyte in a sample solution is disclosed. The apparatus includes an optical assembly having first and second reflecting surfaces separated by a distance ā€œdā€ greater than 50 nm, where the first surface is formed by a layer of analyte-binding molecules, and a light source for directing a beam of light onto said first and second reflecting surface. A detector in the apparatus operates to detect a change in the thickness of the first reflecting layer resulting from binding of analyte to the analyte-binding molecules, when the assembly is placed in the solution of analyte, by detecting a shift in phase of light waves reflected from the first and second surfaces.
