Abstract: A method uses web servers to promulgate information from one server to another, instead of promulgating the information by the user to each server individually. A first server receives a first request for promulgating web-information from a user, locally promulgates the web-information, and sends a second request to at least one second website server to instruct the second website server to locally promulgate the web-information. The selection of the second server is done according to a preset configuration file which includes a relationship mapping between the first website server and the second website server. The relationship mapping may provide the user information related to the second website server based on the user information related to the first website server. The present disclosure further discloses a communication apparatus and a communication system.

Abstract: An industrial visual stethoscope system and a detecting method are provided. The system has a base, a workpiece support, a single-color lighting device, a camera module, a rotating device, and an analyzing device. When the single-color light irradiates the workpiece, if the single-color light irradiates into the crack which is relatively deep and narrow, the single-color light is rarely to be reflected out of the crack. But if the single-color light irradiates into the scar, the single-color light is reflected out of the scar due to the specular reflection. During the relative rotation, when the reflected light enters the camera module in parallel, the energy of the light is concentrated, causing overexposure and forming obvious white light. Thus, the analyzing device can identify the recess is a scar formed by hit rather than a crack formed by heat.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a social graph by a social-networking system. The social graph includes a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes. The social-networking system may receive a trigger action from a first user. In response to the trigger action, the social-networking system may generate reaction-cards based at least in part on the trigger action where each reaction-card is associated with a structured query referencing nodes and edges of the social graph. The social-networking system may calculate a reaction-card score for each reaction-card, where the reaction-card score is based on a relevance of the structured query associated with the reaction-card to the trigger action and user-engagement factors. The social-networking system may then send each reaction-card having a reaction-card score greater than a threshold reaction-card score to the first user for display on a page currently accessed by the first user.

Abstract: Techniques for repair and/or recovery of computer program(s) installed on a programmable device using a distributed ledger that is based on cryptography and blockchain technology are described. One or more self-reliance logic/modules can commit, to a distributed ledger that resides on interconnected devices, records of watchdog communications between the devices. One or more of interconnected devices may include a respective self-reliance logic/module. The logic/modules can use the records of the distributed ledger to check that computer program(s) on the interconnected devices are operating as expected. When a self-reliance logic/module fails to respond to a watchdog communication, the distributed ledger can be updated to include this failure. A self-reliance logic/module can determine, based on the distributed ledger and/or the failure, that an installed computer program is faulty. Furthermore, a self-reliance logic/module can initiate one or more software recovery services based on the determination.

Abstract: A crawling device is used for surrounding a cylinder and crawling along the extension direction of the mentioned cylinder. The kind of crawling device may include at least two-nodes crawling modules, a telescopic mechanism, and a control circuit. The telescopic mechanism connects with two-nodes crawling modules, and the crawling modules have an elastic mechanism and a drawstring respectively. In creeping movement, the at least two-nodes crawling modules are set in turn that one crawling module as a fixed section and the other crawling module as a mobile section. When the crawling module is set as a fixed section, the crawling module adjusts the drawstring through the elastic mechanism to make the fixed section close to the cylinder. Producing friction by keeping close to the cylinder let the fixed section maintain the fixed state relatively close to the cylinder.
