Abstract: A borehole wall spin-shearing device includes a load applying assembly, a soil shearing assembly, and a data acquisition assembly, where the load applying assembly is configured to apply a vertical load and an axial rotational load to the soil shearing assembly; the soil shearing assembly includes a plurality of shear plates; the plurality of shear plates are configured to penetrate into undisturbed soil after being ejected due to the vertical load and then shear the undisturbed soil due to the axial rotational load; and the data acquisition assembly is configured to acquire torque values of the plurality of shear plates during a process of shearing the undisturbed soil. The borehole wall spin-shearing device can directly conduct an in-situ borehole shear test in an exploration borehole with a conventional diameter in China, reducing the cost of drilling. The borehole wall spin-shearing device achieves a high degree of automation throughout the test.

Abstract: A nickel-titanium file root canal preparation instrument, including a nickel-titanium preparation system and a water flushing system. The nickel-titanium preparation system includes a nickel-titanium file, a handheld device head, a handheld device body, an electric motor, and a power controller; the water flushing system includes a conduit, a conduit fixing device, a liquid pump, and a liquid pump controller. The existing theory and study regarding root canal preparation has misled people about the root canal preparation method, and this leads to the result that the existing nickel-titanium root canal preparation is implemented in a dry-drilling manner. By providing a water flow to perform flushing during the root canal preparation of the nickel-titanium file root canal preparation instrument, the service life of the nickel-titanium file is prolonged.

Abstract: Methods and systems for methods and systems for performing GNSS orbit and clock augmentation and position determination are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method for performing GNSS augmentation and position determination includes obtaining orbit/clock initial parameters with a receiver device, generating a numerically-integrated orbit and extrapolated clock in response to the orbit/clock initial parameters with a processing device, and processing the observations of a GNSS receiver and the numerically-integrated orbit and extrapolated clock to derive an improved positioning solution with a processing device.
