Abstract: A cross-coupling control method for moving beam of gantry machine tool is disclosed, which relates to the technical field of CNC machine tool control. The cross-coupling control method includes: Step 1: establishing a crossbeam dynamics model considering a ram on the crossbeam, and at the same time simplifying the model for an observer design; step 2: realizing a PID control parameter adjustment of motors at both ends in accordance with a method of parameter tuning of a unilateral servo control system; using a servo system with the same control parameters to jointly drive the crossbeam up and down, realizing the synchronous control and realizing PID control parameter tuning for both end motors. The disclosure not only reduces the synchronization error caused by the torsion of the crossbeam, but also solves the synchronization error caused by the asymmetric load on both sides, and improves the system robustness and stability.

Abstract: Techniques are described for transaction-based read and write operations in a distributed system. In an embodiment, an authorization protocol overlaid onto a transaction to control access to each of the data pools. Using the techniques described herein, the DTRS provides authorization mechanism to ensure that the entity, which hosts the data pool, may only access the data set from an originating entity based at least upon the access rules of the originating entity set for the data set. Additionally, the DTRS's read/write transactions keep the data pools of the DTRS in synch with each other, so each data pool stores the same data sets as another data pool of the DTRS. When a data integrity service of an entity generates a new data entry from a user transaction with a client application, a new write request is generated for the DTRS to which the data integrity service belongs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing latency of probing operations of remotely located linear hash tables are described herein. In an embodiment, a system receives a request to perform a probing operation on a remotely located linear hash table based on a key value. Prior to performing the probing operation, the system dynamically predicts a number of slots for a single read of the linear hash table to minimize total cost for an average probing operation. The system determines a hash value based on the key value and determines a slot of the linear hash table to which the hash value corresponds. After predicting the number of slots, the system issues an RDMA request to perform a read of the predicted number of slots from the linear hash table starting at the slot to which the hash value corresponds.

A pull-up pressure rod and a pull-down pressure rod are allowed to rotate circumferentially and move axially.

An independent tensile testing machine is utilized to achieve high-load loading. The in-situ measurement of internal deformation and damage information of a specimen under tensile or compressive load in a high-temperature environment is implemented. By taking advantage of the miniaturization design of the high-temperature device, the accuracy of the damage test using the laboratory X-ray source is increased.
