  • Patent number: 11996112
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a voice conversion method. The method includes: obtaining a to-be-converted voice, and extracting acoustic features of the to-be-converted voice; obtaining a source vector corresponding to the to-be-converted voice from a source vector pool, and selecting a target vector corresponding to the target voice from the target vector pool; obtaining acoustic features of the target voice output by the voice conversion model by using the acoustic features of the to-be-converted voice, the source vector corresponding to the to-be-converted voice, and the target vector corresponding to the target voice as an input of the voice conversion model; and obtaining the target voice by converting the acoustic features of the target voice using a vocoder. In addition, a voice conversion apparatus and a storage medium are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11983916
    Abstract: A relocation method and a mobile machine using the same are provided. The method includes: obtaining a global map and a current scan map of a target scene where a mobile machine is located, and generating a local sub-map based on the global map; obtaining a black boundary in the local sub-map, determining a length and a curve complexity of the black boundary, and determining a weight of the black boundary based on the length and the curve complexity of the black boundary; determining an estimated pose and a target black boundary based on the local sub-map and the current scan image, and obtaining a matching value between the current scan image and the local sub-map based on a weight of the target black boundary; and determining the estimated pose as a relocated pose of the mobile machine in response to the matching value being larger than a preset threshold.

  • Patent number: 11946276
    Abstract: A joint for a swimming pool frame, and a swimming pool including the joint are provided. The joint includes a joint body including a leg pipe holder configured to have a leg pipe of the swimming pool frame inserted into the leg pipe holder. The joint also includes a side pipe holder configured to have a side pipe of the swimming pool frame inserted in the side pipe holder. A locking hole is formed through the side pipe holder. The joint body also includes a locking part including a locking pin configured to extend through the locking hole and through a corresponding connecting hole in the side pipe, thereby holding the side pipe to the side pipe holder.

  • Patent number: 7718742
    Abstract: A synthesis process of trans-1,4-polyisoprene, using bulk precipitation polymerization of isoprene catalyzed by supported titanium catalyst TiCl4/MgCl2. The process includes prepolymerizing carried out in a prepolymerization reactor with an anchor agitator; polymerizing carried out in a polymerization reactor with a helical ribbon agitator; and devolatilizing and drying carried out in a vacuum rake dryer. Not only does the process require lower energy consumption and thus a lower production cost, but it also eliminates the emission of three wastes.
