  • Patent number: 11938623
    Abstract: A ground simulation device and method for an on-orbit manipulation of a space manipulator is provided. The ground simulation device includes: a dual-arm robot, configured to simulate the space manipulator operating a target object; a suspension device, including a fixed post and passive rods, where the passive rods are movably connected with a top end of the fixed post, and the target object is suspended to the passive rods; and a simulation platform, configured to fix the dual-arm robot and the suspension device thereon. The ground simulation device provides the passive rods on the suspension device and suspends the target object to the passive rods, thus overcoming the gravity of the target object. In addition, the passive rods can drive the target object to move under an influence of an external force, achieving a similar suspension effect to that in space, and providing a desired, safe, and reliable implementation effect.

  • Patent number: 11525889
    Abstract: A non-contact method for detecting and distinguishing a human and an animal based on IR-UWB bio-radar signals includes: step 1, transmitting a radar pulse to a target by a transmitting antenna of an IR-UWB bio-radar; and obtaining, by a receiving antenna of the IR-UWB bio-radar, a radar echo signal E(n,m) generated from the radar pulse reflected on the target; step 2: performing signal preprocessing on the radar echo signal E(n,m) obtained in step 1, to obtain a first energy signal E6(l); step 3: removing a direct wave from E6(l) obtained in step 2 to obtain a second energy signal E7(l), and obtaining a maximum amplitude E7max of E7(l) and a position lmax corresponding to the maximum amplitude in a slow time direction; step 4: calculating a peak-to-background ratio VEtoB of E7(l), calculating an average correlation coefficient rm, and determining a type of the target through a target detection and distinction rule.

  • Patent number: 11435470
    Abstract: Provided is a multi-target life detection method based on radar signals. The method includes: performing time accumulation in a slow time direction on a preprocessed echo signal to obtain a first echo signal; performing an envelope extraction of inflection points on the first echo signal to obtain a second echo signal; calculating an average value of all amplitude signals in the second echo signal other than M marked amplitude signals; and in response to a ratio of a marked amplitude signal to the average value being greater than a threshold, determining that a living target exists at a radar detection distance corresponding to the marked amplitude signal. According to the life detection method of the present disclosure, a normalization method is adopted to normalize signal amplitudes of the radar in a dimension of fast time (distance). In addition, two envelope extractions of inflection points may be performed.

  • Patent number: 10157000
    Abstract: A data operation method and device, relate to the storage field is presented. The data operation method and device can implement, during modification of a data strip in a storage device, data sending and receiving performed only for a storage device that requires modification. Other irrelevant storage devices do not consume a disk throughput and traffic, thereby reducing a disk throughput and usage of a network resource, that is, reducing a write penalty. A client sends both new and old version numbers to a storage device corresponding to a data strip that does not need to be modified, so that the corresponding storage device compares a version number of the data strip stored by the storage device with the old version number sent by the client. When the two version numbers are consistent, the version number in the storage device is updated to the received new version number.
