Abstract: A casting-rolling side sealing device with an electromagnetic stirring function is provided and includes a pair of side sealing plates covering two side ends of a casting-rolling zone from a casting-rolling starting end to a casting-rolling ending end respectively, a pre-tightening force is formed between one of the side sealing plates and adjacent casting rolls. A pulse end of a first electromagnetic assembly releases first pulses along a first axis direction parallel to a direction from the side ends to a center of the casting-rolling zone. The first pulses are configured to generate an electromagnetic stirring effect in the casting-rolling zone. A second electromagnetic assembly is arranged on each of the side sealing plates, a pulse end of the second electromagnetic assembly releases second pulses along a second axis direction perpendicular to the first axis direction.

Abstract: A fault-tolerant asset transferring method is provided to prevent financial losses caused by human errors, specifically unintentional mistakes made by the payer. The system introduces a new definition for blockchain transaction parameters, allowing for multi-input transactions. Each payment transaction includes the payee's signature for confirmation and the payer's signature. In addition, a system is designed to handle multi-input asset transfer transactions which incorporate the payer's confirmation. Upon reaching an agreement on the transaction content, each participant generates an independent off-chain signature on the transaction's content. In the event that participants generate a signature on the erroneous content of a transaction, the transaction will be accepted in the blockchain with very low probability due to transaction validation.

Abstract: A system for enabling escrow-free, secure, and convenient atomic asset swaps between blockchains are provided. In detail, when any group of users reach an agreement on the content of cross-chain asset swap transactions, each participant creates an individual signature on the content of each transaction, employs a reversible signature aggregate function to produce an aggregate signature from all his/her individual signatures, and optionally generates a proof to prove the relationship between the aggregated signature and the transaction contents. Sequentially, all the participants exchange these aggregated signatures and optional proofs. Once a participant publishes one of his/her individual signature, the other parties can use both signatures—one from the sender and the other from the recipient—to construct a complete transaction. Once a transaction is broadcast, its corresponding transactions are constructed, and broadcast.

Abstract: A method for heating a blank in a first heating furnace and a second heating furnace. The first heating furnace includes a first chamber and a second chamber communicating with the first chamber. The method includes: 1) heating the blank in the first chamber to the temperature of less than 300° C.; 2) transferring the blank heated in the first chamber to the second heating furnace, and heating the blank to the temperature of between 350° C. and 850° C., where the temperature of the second heating furnace is detected using a thermocouple, and the temperature of the blank is detected by an optical thermometer; 3) transferring the blank heated in the second heating furnace to the second chamber, and measuring the temperature of the blank using a contact thermometer; and 4) transferring the blank from 3) to a rolling mill.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose an audio file play control method, including: obtaining, by an audio play apparatus, identification information corresponding to an audio file; determining, by the audio play apparatus, a play probability of the audio file according to the identification information corresponding to the audio file; and playing, by the audio play apparatus, the audio file according to the play probability of the audio file. The embodiments of the present invention further provide an audio play apparatus. In the embodiments of the present invention, in a random play mode, a quantity of play times of the audio file is determined according to the identification information corresponding to the audio file, that is, according to a degree to which a user likes the audio file, with no need to play multiple audio files at an equal probability. This improves user experience and increases solution flexibility.

Abstract: A method is described for protecting photovoltaic cells. During the fabrication process, a photovoltaic cell can be received from a first processing station. The photovoltaic cell can have at least one exposed surface, which may include crystalline silicon or oxidized crystalline silicon. The photovoltaic cell can then be placed in a controlled microenvironment with controlled chemical content, which can protect the exposed surface of the photovoltaic cell from contamination. Subsequently, the photovoltaic cell can be moved toward and delivered to a second processing station in the controlled microenvironment.
