Patent number: 12200054Abstract: The present disclosure provides a blockchain sharding method, system, and server based on locally repairable system codes. The blockchain sharding system includes k original shards and n?k encoding shards. In each round of consensus, each original shard and m corresponding encoding shards form a local verification group (m<<n?k), and each encoding shard and t original shards participating in generation of the encoding shard form local recovery groups (t<<k). The local verification group is responsible for verifying whether a to-be-verified transaction is legitimate. When a single shard in the verification group is corrupted, the remaining m shards can reach a consistent verification result. According to the principle that the minority is subordinate to the majority, the verification group can still correctly verify the legitimacy of the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2023Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignees: University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Sichuan Digital Economy Research Institute (Yibin), Hangzhou Yunphant Network Technology Co.

Publication number: 20240412203Abstract: The present disclosure provides a security protection method for a sharded blockchain system, and the sharded blockchain system includes one core shard and multiple common shards. A node in the common shard can additionally store historical blocks of other shards in addition to storing historical blocks of the shard in which the node is located. When a single shard in the system is corrupted, the corrupted shard cannot provide a valid verification result for a transaction that the corrupted shard is responsible for verifying. In this case, honest nodes that store historical blocks of the corrupted shard can submit reports on a transaction verification result to the core shard. The core shard confirms validity of the report, and the system performs reward or punishment on the node submitting the report according to whether the report is valid.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: Sheng CAO, Yifan TIAN, Butian HUANG, Xiaosong ZHANG

Publication number: 20240312571Abstract: A method for evaluating melt fragmentation in a sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), in which a high-order accurate particle method is adopted to discretely solve a corresponding model and calculate the melt fragmentation process in the SFR. A least-squares moving particle semi-implicit method with high-order accuracy for gradient and Laplace models is used, and a particle-shifting technique is used to maintain a more uniform particle distribution. A geometry-based free surface identification technique is adopted. An equation-of-state model is introduced to enable acquisition of more realistic physical parameters. The solid-liquid coupling model and the phase transition model are combined to carry out the high-order accurate discretization. An evaluation system is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2023Publication date: September 19, 2024Inventors: Bin ZHANG, Wenpeng WANG, Sheng CAO, Minghao HU, Jianqiang SHAN

Patent number: 12079300Abstract: A method for analyzing debris bed formation based on a multi-resolution multiphase particle algorithm, which uses the least-squares moving particle semi-implicit method with second-order computational accuracy and improves surface tension model and free surface particle identification model. The method also utilizes a particle-based gas-liquid phase transition model and a particle-based liquid-solid phase transition model with multi-resolution features, such that the coolant vaporization and melt solidification processes during the falling process of the melt can be calculated. Moreover, a solid-solid collision model is coupled to calculate the collision and debris bed deformation during the falling process of the debris particles. In this way, the momentum exchange, energy transfer and phase transition between different phases are taken into account, and the computational instability caused by the large physical difference between phases is mitigated.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2023Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Xi'an Jiaotong UniversityInventors: Bin Zhang, Sheng Cao, Wenpeng Wang, Xiaoxing Liu, Minghao Hu, Jianqiang Shan
