  • Publication number: 20240360894
    Abstract: A stirring component includes a body arranged in an internal chamber at a side of a circular spline away from a flex spline of the harmonic transmission system. The body includes a coupling hole through which the body is coupled to and rotated with an input shaft of the harmonic transmission system, and at least one stirring recess arranged on a side of the body adjacent to the circular spline and has a varying depth in an axial direction to stir and push lubricant medium within the internal chamber towards the flex spline during rotation of the body. With the stirring component arranged within the internal chamber, the plate-shaped body can block the lubricant medium from moving further. Furthermore, the stirring component can stir and push the lubricant medium away from the body towards the flex spline.

  • Publication number: 20240303219
    Abstract: Techniques monitor storage resource objects. Such techniques involve monitoring a first number of storage resource objects that have been consumed in a storage system, the consumed storage resource objects storing a system file and/or volume and snapshots of the system file and/or snapshots of the volume. Such techniques further involve determining a second number of remaining storage resource objects based on the first number and the performance of the storage system. Such techniques further involve sending the first number and the second number to a user device to display the first number and the second number by the user device. The second number decreases as the first number increases. Such techniques can directly and intuitively provide users with the usage of storage resource objects in a storage system from the perspective of number attributes, thus providing reference for users when creating protection policies, and further improving user experience.
