Abstract: A method for determining a consistency coefficient of a power-law cement grout includes: determining a water-cement ratio of the power-law cement grout; according to engineering practice requirements, determining a time required to determine the consistency coefficient of the power-law cement grout; and obtaining the consistency coefficient of the power-law cement grout. The method is accurate and reliable, requires less calculation, etc.; and has very high practical value and popularization value in environmental protection and ecological restoration.

Abstract: A device-verification system is configured to verify the authenticity of an electronic device using a digital signature of the electronic device verified by a certificate authority. In some examples, the electronic device includes a NFC tag storing device hardware information, device public and private keys, and a device digital signature ciphertext. A user may utilize a personal device to read the information from the NFC tag and the personal device may include a software application configured to communicate the information to a cloud-based certificate authority. The certificate authority may include a distributed system (e.g., a blockchain ledger) utilized to verify, store, and subsequently retrieve data corresponding to the electronic device. The certificate authority is configured to utilize the device digital signature to verify the authenticity of the device.
