    Abstract: A TBM-mounted system and method for quickly predicting compressive strength of rocks based on rock mineral composition and fabric characteristics. The system is mounted on gripper shoe's side surface of an open-type TBM, and includes a protective device, hydraulic device, servo motor, detection device, control system and a data comprehensive analysis platform. The hydraulic device is mounted on the protective device's side wall, for controlling movement of detection device horizontally. The servo motor controls rotation of detection device. The detection device collects a variety of geological parameters of target surrounding rock affecting compressive strength of rock and providing basic data for compressive strength prediction of rock. The control system controls work of hydraulic device, servo motor and each detection device. The data comprehensive analysis platform is connected to each detection instrument, receives geological parameters collected, processes and analyzes each parameter, and gives a prediction of compressive strength of rock.

    Abstract: An underwater detector includes a sealed enclosure, inside an infrared sensor module is disposed. The module rotates around a spindle at a fixed angular velocity along a horizontal plane. An electronic compass disposed on the module. A bottom of the sealed enclosure connected to an indicator through a rotary shaft, and the indicator rotates around the rotary shaft on the horizontal plane. The indicator includes a head and tail fin. A light source emits a light beam vertically upwards on the tail fin. The module is configured to trigger, when receiving the light beam, the electronic compass records a real-time direction relative to the spindle, which is processed by a processor module to obtain a direction of the water flow. A spring connects between the head and tail fin. The infrared sensor module transmits a moment of receiving the light beam to the processor module to calculate the water flow.
