  • Patent number: 11383446
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing (AM) system, an AM method, and an AM feature extraction method are provided. The AM system includes an AM tool, a product metrology system, an in-situ metrology system, a virtual metrology (VM) system, a compensator, a track planner, a controller, a simulator and an augmented reality (AR) device. The simulator is used to find feasible parameter ranges, while the AR device is used to support operations and maintenance of the AM tool. The product metrology system, the in-situ metrology system and the VM system are integrated to estimate the variation of material on a powder bed of the AM tool. The compensator is used for compensating the process variation by adjusting process parameters. The product metrology system is used to measure the quality of products. The in-situ metrology system is used to collect features of melt pools on the powder bed.

  • Publication number: 20200020311
    Abstract: A low-cost and high-compatibility optical pickup including a light source, one set of optical sensors, and a controller. The light source illuminates a string assembled on an instrument. The set of optical sensors corresponding to the light source is provided to sense the shading of the string. The controller supplies the sensed data from the set of optical sensors to a system host for recognition of the melody played on the string. Considering the other strings assembled on the instrument, the optical pickup includes other sets of optical sensors to sense the shading of the other strings which are also illuminated by the light source. The controller also supplies the sensed data of the other sets of optical sensors to the system host for recognition of the melody played on the other strings.

  • Publication number: 20180339215
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) training system for a team sport, which implements tactical training in a VR environment. A server generates VR content based on target trajectories of a trainee in a tactic. A VR device (e.g., including a VR head-mounted display) receives the VR content to display the virtual environment and instructs the trainee to practice the target trajectories. The VR device further provides a motion sensor device that detects and returns the head pose, actions, and positions of the trainee to the server. The server updates the VR content according to the head pose, actions, and positions of the trainee. The target trajectories are further marked with timing and head orientation to instruct the trainee when to execute each trajectory and where to look for catching ball opportunity.
