  • Publication number: 20220135257
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of flying on the moon and a device for flying using the method. A medium on a surface of a moon and a medium accelerating module are used in the flying method. The medium is transferred into the medium accelerating module, accelerated by the medium accelerating module, and ejected out of the medium accelerating module by using a power supply. A counterforce is generated in accordance with the momentum conservation, and the counterforce overcomes the lunar gravity and drives a load to take off. The method is suitable for the environment of the moon where flight by means of atmospheric buoyancy is impossible due to the shortage of atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 11203798
    Abstract: A laser shock peening apparatus for the surface of a workpiece, said apparatus comprising a resonant cavity. When said apparatus is used to conduct laser shock peening, because of the presence of the resonant cavity, shock waves that would typically escape outward may instead be utilized, and composite shock waves may be formed as a result of the wave reflection and convergence effects of the resonant cavity. Said waves can then be used on the surface of a workpiece twice or multiple times, thereby greatly increasing energy utilization rates. In addition, a fluid-based confinement layer is limited to the inside of the resonant cavity and has a fixed shape, thereby effectively solving the problems of the poor stability of a fluid-based confinement layer and the difficulty with controlling the thickness of such a confinement layer.

  • Patent number: 10237174
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for establishing a hard pipe in a network. The network includes multiple routers and a network management system. The method includes: acquiring, by the network management system, bandwidths of a plurality of links in the network; instructing, a router to allocate a fixed bandwidth from a bandwidth of the link of the network topology, where a link to which the fixed bandwidth is allocated forms a sublink, and the sublink and the router that allocates the sublink form a hard pipe stratum, which is used to carry a leased line service; and allocating, a static MPLS label set to the hard pipe stratum. A service packet that has an MPLS label in the static MPLS label set is forwarded by using the hard pipe stratum, thereby ensuring that a bandwidth of the leased line service is not occupied by a non-leased line service.

  • Publication number: 20180057191
    Abstract: Disclosed are the thermal protection and drag reduction method and system for an ultra high-speed aircraft. A cold source is and a cold source driving device are arranged inside a cavity of the ultra high-speed aircraft. A plurality of micropores are arranged on a wall surface of the cavity. The cold source driving device comprises an air pump, a cold source reservoir and a buffer. The air pump supplies compressed air to a cold source reservoir during operation. The cold source enters the buffer and is vaporized under the action of air pressure. High-pressure gas is ejected from the micropores to form a gas film on the outer surface of the cavity. The gas film not only can perform thermal protection on the ultra high-speed aircraft, but also can effectively reduce viscous drag between the aircraft and the external gas, by virtue of which the thermal barrier phenomenon is alleviated or eliminated. Therefore, security of the ultra high-speed aircraft is improved and service life is prolonged.
