Abstract: A method of forming an article comprises placing a first material and a second material in a die of a direct current sintering apparatus. The second material directly contacts the first material. An electric current and pressure are applied to the first material and the second material to form an article. An additional method comprises placing a nickel-based material in direct contact with one or more other nickel-based materials to form a stack of nickel-based materials. An electric current and pressure are applied to the stack of nickel-based materials to join the nickel-based material and the one or more other nickel-based materials. Related articles are also disclosed.

Abstract: The resource allocation method and apparatus are based on edge computing. The method includes: decomposing all application systems in a server into a plurality of meta-service units according to the coupling degree between different service modules in the application systems, and obtaining the quality of experience (QoE) index parameter value of each meta-service unit; clustering the plurality of meta-service units by using a clustering algorithm based on the QoE index parameter value of each meta-service unit; and allocating resources to each cluster according to the QoE index parameter values of all meta-service units in each cluster, so that all meta-service units in each cluster share the allocated resources. According to the invention, the resource allocation is more reasonable, the QoE value of a user is increased, and the resource use is more effective.

Abstract: The data caching method and a storage medium includes acquiring, by receiving the request of caching service data sent by the UE, the network status data between an SBS corresponding to UE and the UE, the network status data between an MBS corresponding to the SBS and the UE, and the network status data between the UE and a data source of the service data. According to the types of the three pieces of network status data and the service data, three corresponding QoE values are acquired, and whether the cache is configured for the UE is determined according to the three QoE values. The quantification of the three QoE values is realized, and whether the cache is configured for the UE is determined according to the quantized QoE values, thereby achieving the effect of improving the quality of user experience.
