Abstract: A soil layer detection drilling device includes a drilling cylinder, and a soil-sampling assembly is provided inside the drilling cylinder. When the soil is drilled, equipment is in a vertical state, a controller is turned on to control a rotary motor to rotate, and the drilling cylinder is driven to drill the soil with the cooperation of drive wheels and a drive belt. Four slide blocks are evenly distributed around an outer circumference of a sliding disk and are matingly connected with slide grooves provided on an inner wall of the drilling cylinder, so when the drilling cylinder rotates, the soil-sampling assembly also rotates. A conical head first in contact with the ground starts to drill the ground, then the drilling cylinder gradually drills into a soil layer, and the drilling cylinder is idled as the drilling cylinder arrives at a certain depth, to clear soil on auger blades.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for processing workloads. The method includes determining a priority threshold for a task queue based on queue data of the task queue. The method further includes acquiring a priority of a workload at the queue head of the task queue. The method further includes processing the workload by using a processor in response to the priority being greater than the priority threshold. In addition, the method further includes processing the workload without using the processor in response to the priority being less than or equal to the priority threshold. Through the solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the priority threshold can be dynamically adjusted to prioritize high-priority loads by utilizing the processor when processor resources are insufficient, thereby ensuring that the high-priority workloads are prioritized for processing.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for extended and mixed reality experience adaptation, processing, and handover from one computing or processing entity to another. In response to a change in a condition impacting resource usage, delivery of content is transferred from one edge node to another. One or more changes in a viewing client, a first edge node, a second edge node, a communication network, and content signal a handover. Artificial intelligence systems, including neural networks, and models are trained and developed for improving the adaptation, processing, and handover.
