Jingzhou YANG has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11922924
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating speech through multilingual neural text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis are provided in the present disclosure. A text input in at least a first language may be received. Speaker latent space information of a target speaker may be provided through a speaker encoder. Language latent space information of a second language may be provided through a language encoder. At least one acoustic feature may be generated, through an acoustic feature predictor, based on the text input, the speaker latent space information and the language latent space information of the second language. A speech waveform corresponding to the text input may be generated, through a neural vocoder, based on the at least one acoustic feature.

  • Publication number: 20210330431
    Abstract: The present invention provides a trabecular porous tantalum dental implant and a preparation method thereof. The trabecular porous tantalum dental implant provided by the present invention has a cylindrical structure, and sequentially includes a top functional area, a middle functional area and a bottom functional area from top to bottom. The top functional area has a compact structure. The middle functional area has a porous bionic trabecular structure. The bottom functional area has a compact structure. The trabecular porous tantalum dental implant is integrally prepared through an additive manufacturing technology by using pure tantalum or medical tantalum alloy powder as a raw material. The trabecular porous tantalum dental implant provided by the present invention has a high friction force, strength and modulus close to those of human bones, an excellent bone ingrowth effect, high implantation stability and long service life.
