  • Patent number: 11897128
    Abstract: A modular multi-hinge retractable rigid-flexible coupling space manipulator based on origami structure includes a plurality of folding units and a manipulator base. The modular design idea is adopted for the manipulator, which is formed by combining multiple folding units. the driving motors installed on each folding unit drive the folding units to stretch out, draw back and fold over, so that the manipulator can stretch out and draw back flexibly and bend in any direction to complete the work tasks in a variety of complex environments. For the manipulator, the flexible materials are added to the links of the folding units, and deformation can be effectively compensated, the mechanism is simplified, and impact is relieved. The torsional spring is additionally arranged in the folding units to play a supporting role, so that the manipulator can be placed in forward or in inverted direction to match with various bases.

  • Publication number: 20230384920
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring through graphical user interfaces are disclosed. In one aspect, a system is disclosed that includes a processor and data storage including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations. The operations include maintaining an input file including predetermined criteria for a plurality of factors, receiving a model dataset generated using a model, based on the input file and the model dataset, generating a first graphical user interface that includes a graphical illustration of a subset of the plurality of factors, a model risk for the model, and a selectable feature associated with a selected factor in the subset and a selected time period. The operations further include receiving through the first graphical user interface a selection of the selectable feature, and, in response, generating a second graphical user interface that recolors a portion of the first graphical user interface.
