Abstract: Described in detail herein is a system for determining the validity of a transaction in a distributed network environment. The system includes a plurality of peer servers. The system elects a set of peer leaders from the plurality of peer servers. The set of peer leaders broadcast a first set of indices associated with a first subset of transactions, received from the plurality of peer servers, to one or more of the plurality of peer servers. The set of elected peer leaders execute a first instance of a binary agreement protocol based at least in part on a second subset of indices associated with a second subset of the transactions. The set of elected peer leaders output a consensus vector comprising one or more of the transactions.

Abstract: A travelling-type tunnel hard-rock micro-damage cutting equipment and a construction method associated therewith are provided. The cutting equipment includes: a crawler-type trolley; and a hard-rock drilling construction apparatus, a hard-rock cutting construction apparatus, a self-unloading tipping bucket and a visual operation terminal all arranged on the crawler-type trolley. The hard-rock cutting construction apparatus includes: a cutting manipulation room, a rock-breaking power arm, and a hard-rock cutting device including a hydraulic steel robs, a signal sensor, an infrared lens and a light source assembly. The infrared lens and the light source assembly are arranged at the front end of the hard-rock cutting device, and a working image can be transmitted to the visual operation terminal through the signal sensor. The cutting equipment can accurately and efficiently cut a rock mass, and the cut rock mass can be reused according to secondary processing conditions of rock to improve economic benefits.
