  • Publication number: 20240283801
    Abstract: The invention discloses a blockchain-based intrusion detection system for railway signal, which is built on a blockchain's distributed chain structure, without a central, trusted control center. This design mitigates the vulnerabilities associated with centralized intrusion detection centers. Additionally, by utilizing a blockchain-based distributed structure, it also eliminates the risk of a single point of failure for the intrusion detection center. Moreover, the data within the blockchain-based intrusion detection system is highly resistant to malicious tampering. This is achieved by leveraging the consensus mechanism inherent in the blockchain, which can achieve consensus among intrusion detection nodes. The current invention solves the internal evil attacks and avoid the inability to reach consensus between nodes due to internal evil, thereby affecting the intrusion detection performance; at the same time, the intrusion detection model can resist external network attacks.

  • Publication number: 20240263349
    Abstract: The present invention provides a general salt-assisted chemical vapour deposition method for phase-controllable synthesis of 1T? and 2H-phase transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayer crystals. The method comprises: mixing a transition metal compound powder and a salt powder to form a precursor; placing a substrate on top of the precursor; placing the precursor and the substrate at a center position in a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) furnace; placing a chalcogen powder at an upstream position relative to the precursor along a gas-flow direction in the CVD furnace; heating up the CVD furnace to a growth temperature within the heat-up time; keeping the CVD furnace at the growth temperature for a growth time under a mixed gas flow of H2 and Ar. The optical and electrical characterizations reveal the phase-dependent in-plane isotropy and anisotropy of the as-synthesized 2H and 1T?-phase crystals. The 1T?-TMD monolayer crystals demonstrate much-improved phase transition temperatures.
