Abstract: In an approach to building a file system for multiple architectures, responsive to receiving a manifest for a file system build, a base layer is retrieved for each platform to be built, where the base layer is an operating system base. Responsive to determining that any layer to be built has not been built, the next layer to be built is retrieved. Responsive to the next layer to be built is platform-independent, the next layer is retrieved from a cache, where the next layer supports each platform. Responsive to the next layer to be built is platform-dependent, the next layer is built, where a copy of the next layer is built for each platform. The above steps are iteratively repeated until each layer is built. A single image of a completed file system build is stored, where the single image supports each platform.

Abstract: A segmented grouting method for ramp drivage in an aquifer is provided. Concerning grouting reinforcement for a ramp in an aquifer, a grouting process is divided into four stages according to a pressure change, that is, micro-pressure filling, low-pressure diffusion, medium-pressure reinforcement, and high-pressure fracturing. In the micro-pressure filling, an initial pressure of a grouting orifice is 0, and a low-concentration single-component grout is used to fill an original fissure of the aquifer. In the low-pressure diffusion, a low-concentration bicomponent grout is used for grouting, the original fissure is expanded, and a grouting radius is increased. In the medium-pressure reinforcement, a high-concentration bicomponent grout is used for grouting, thereby reinforcing the aquifer. In the high-pressure fracturing, a high-concentration bicomponent grout is used to reinforce a new fractured fissure of the orifice caused by a high pressure and the original fissure, thereby forming a confining bed.

Abstract: An audio data transmission method. An electronic device transmits audio data to a first earbud of a TWS headset by using a first CIS of a first CIG, and transmits audio data to a second earbud of the TWS headset by using a second CIS of the first CIG. The electronic device determines that the TWS headset is switched from a double-earbud mode (namely, a mode in which the first earbud and the second earbud are used together as audio input/output devices of the electronic device) to a first single-earbud mode (namely, a mode in which the first earbud is independently used as an audio input/output device of the electronic device). In response to the determining, the electronic device deactivates the second CIS, stops transmitting audio data to the second earbud by using the second CIS, and continues transmitting audio data to the first earbud by using the first CIS.
