Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-leakage device for a hydrogen storage container. A sealing assembly is connected to a right side of a tank body of an anti-leakage device, an impurity removing assembly is connected to a lower side of the tank body, and the impurity removing assembly is connected to the sealing assembly. By adopting the technical solution above, if the leakage occurs from the hydrogen storage container, hydrogen leaks into an inner cavity of the tank body, and an anti-leakage effect is achieved by intercepting and collecting the hydrogen. With the increase of the amount of hydrogen collected in the inner cavity of the tank body, an air pressure in the tank body increases, and a high-pressure gas pushes a first linkage block and a sealing sleeve to move to the right, making the contact between the sealing sleeve and a first cylinder closer.

To reduce crosstalk the connector pins include pins with three different pin shapes, including two differently shaped signal pins and a ground pin that combines the shapes of the signal pins. The shaped pins enables them to be positioned in a connector so that each signal pin can have its own independent and separate signal return path on a single ground pin. In this manner, crosstalk can be significantly reduced.

Abstract: A method for reinforcing soft ground by post-grouting combined with pressurized vacuum preloading is proposed, by pre-burying prefabricated vertical drains and air-boosted pipes in granular material piles, and the air-boosted pipes are used as grouting pipes to reduce the number of times of piling, which not only improves the construction efficiency, but also reduces the structural disturbance of the soil and the influence of smear effect, thus reducing the impact on the radial permeability and the radial consolidation coefficients. The method does not use geotextile bags for granular materials, which can avoid the problem of forming a localized clogging area around the geotextile bags, and the method not only improves the efficiency of vacuum transfer in a pre-consolidation stage, but also improves the grouting effect in the later stage, effectively enhances the strength of soft soil and makes granular material piles and the surrounding soil form composite ground.
