  • Publication number: 20210270592
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electrostatic self-powered strain grid sensor configured to measure strain of a component to be measured. The electrostatic self-powered strain grid sensor includes a slide groove and a slide sheet. The slide groove is fixed to a fixing end and a sensor array is arranged at an inside bottom of the slide groove. The slide sheet is fixedly connected with the component to be measured and a lower end part of the slide sheet is in contact with the inside bottom of the slide groove. A corresponding electric signal is output when the slide sheet sweeps over the sensor array. Based on the number and magnitude of the output current of a sensor unit of the sensor array indicated by the signal, the number of segments swept over by the slide sheet and a distance swept over the sensor units in a single sensor array by the slide sheet is obtained, thereby acquiring a structural strain.

  • Publication number: 20210249972
    Abstract: Provided is a rhomboid structured triboelectric nanogenerator based on a built-in U-shaped support. The device includes a diamond-shaped bracket and two U-shaped supports. The U-shaped supports is connected with the diamond-shaped bracket through four connecting rods, and the supporting plates of U-shaped supports are sequentially adhered with metal conductor layer and a dielectric material layer, which forms the power generation unit. When the diamond-shaped bracket is closed, the dielectric material layers on the two supporting plates come into contact to produce friction charge; and then subjected to the reverse force after compression of the spring, the two dielectric material layers are separated, so as to generate an induction electric field by the friction charge and form a potential difference. Compared with an existing vibration energy harvester, the advantages will be small space occupation, a long service life, simple fabrication, and a high energy conversion rate.

  • Publication number: 20210027470
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to utilizing a neural network having a two-stream encoder architecture to accurately generate composite digital images that realistically portray a foreground object from one digital image against a scene from another digital image. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a foreground encoder of the neural network to identify features from a foreground image and further utilize a background encoder to identify features from a background image. The disclosed systems can then utilize a decoder to fuse the features together and generate a composite digital image. The disclosed systems can train the neural network utilizing an easy-to-hard data augmentation scheme implemented via self-teaching. The disclosed systems can further incorporate the neural network within an end-to-end framework for automation of the image composition process.

  • Publication number: 20200333384
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for calculating a transient overvoltage at a direct current (DC) sending end by taking into account a dynamic process of a control system. First, a first reactive power consumed by a converter station is calculated based on system operation parameters and a DC closed-loop transfer function. Then, a transient voltage change rate is calculated based on the first reactive power and a second reactive power on an alternating current (AC) side. Finally, the transient voltage change rate is iterated to obtain the transient overvoltage. According to the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the transient overvoltage is determined based on the system operation parameters and the closed-loop transfer function of a DC line, the dynamic process of control parameter change caused by a control action of the control system after a fault occurs can be determined by the closed-loop transfer function of the DC line, whereby the transient overvoltage can be determined.
