Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of rock mechanics, and in particular to a method for accurately measuring a reopening pressure of hydraulic fracturing induced fracture in a deep borehole. The method includes: pumping a fluid into a sealed inner space of a drilling pipe for energy storage; and opening a valve at a lower end of the drilling pipe such that energy is released from the fluid in the inner space of the drilling pipe under the action of pressure to inject the fluid into a test interval. In the method according to the present disclosure, a fluid is pumped into an inner space of a drilling pipe so that the inner space of the drilling pipe is used as a high-pressure fluid pump to inject the fluid in the inner space of the drilling pipe to the test interval until the closed fracture is reopened.

Abstract: Facilitation of determination of detailed location of a source signal is provided. In one embodiment, a device comprises a memory that stores computer executable components; and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise: a low-resolution computation logic component that implements a coarse algorithm and determines an approximate direction of arrival (DOA) of a source signal of an input signal, wherein the coarse algorithm uses both a coarse spatial grid and input data received from the input signal to determine the approximate DOA; and an error estimation logic component that estimates an estimation error of the coarse algorithm, and wherein the error estimation logic component uses the estimation error and the approximate DOA to determine a spatial interval range.

Abstract: A facial recognition method for video conferencing requiring a reduced bandwidth and transmitting video and audio frames synchronously first determines whether a 3D body model of a first user at a local end has been currently retrieved or is otherwise retrievable from a historical database. Multiple audio frames of first user are collected and audio frequency at a specific range are filtered out. An envelope curve of the first audio frames and multiple attacking time periods and multiple releasing time periods of the envelope curve is calculated and correlated with lip movements of first user. Information packets of same and head-rotating and limb-swinging images of the first user are transmitted to a remote second user so that the 3D body model can simulate and show lip shapes and other movement of the first user.

Abstract: An inexpensive method of rapidly fabricating reactive metal (Zn, Al, Al-alloy, etc.) microscale structures including high-aspect-ratio microscale structures is disclosed. A high precision process uses conformal bond inhibitor coating and high temperature compression molding techniques to produce high quality, high aspect ratio metal structures. In one embodiment, following fabrication of an initial metallic microscale mold insert, an adhesion-promoting metal precursor layer and a ceramic bond inhibitor coating are conformally deposited onto the microscale mold insert. The microscale mold insert and a preselected reactive metal are then heated to an optimum temperature and compressed together. The mold insert is then extracted from the molded metal to produce a reverse image of the mold insert.
