  • Patent number: 11580942
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for matching performance with score. The method may include acquiring performance information in a preset time period, wherein the performance information is related to a musical device. The method may also include analyzing the performance information and obtaining a played music score in the preset time period, wherein the played music score contains the performance information. The method may further include comparing the played music score with one or more standard music scores. The method may still further include identifying a standard music score from the one or more standard music score based on the comparison of the played music score with the one or more standard music scores, wherein a matching degree between the played music score and the identified standard music score reaches a preset value.

  • Patent number: 11533071
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses, including electronic devices and computer-readable storage media, for adaptively switching wireless connections between antennas of a wearable electronic device and a host electronic device. One device includes a wearable electronic device with a first and second housing, each housing including two or more antennas. The wearable electronic device is configured to establish and monitor a wireless cross-link between two antennas in different housings, or between antennas in one housing and antennas of a host electronic device. The wearable electronic device can monitor the integrity of the wireless cross-link, and establish an updated cross-link in response to the wireless cross-link not meeting a predetermined integrity threshold. The wearable electronic device can monitor a wireless cross-head link between housings of a wearable electronic device at the same time as a wireless cross-body link between the wearable electronic device and the host electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20220181769
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a metal structure, or antenna radiator, for an accessory that is configured to function as both an antenna and an input control. The device may be a wearable device with a first surface shaped to be in contact with the human body and a second surface shaped to be exposed when the device is being worn. The antenna radiator may be located internally within the housing of the device and coupled to a printed circuit board (“PCB”). The PCB may be located between the antenna radiator and the surface of the housing such that the PCB may shield the antenna radiator from antenna loss due to the human body. An electric field may extend between the PCB and the antenna radiator. The fringe electric field may improve cross-head and cross-body connectivity between the accessory and another device.

  • Patent number: 10854897
    Abstract: Temperature control system and method for a fuel cell system are disclosed. The temperature control system includes a state detector, a control selector, a normal controller and an internal model controller. The state detector determines whether the fuel cell system is in a leakage condition based on a dynamic transfer function from an air flowrate provided to the fuel cell system to a fuel cell temperature. The control selector selects to switch between the normal controller and the internal model controller based on a determined result. The normal controller is configured for controlling an air flowrate of the fuel cell system which is not in the leakage condition. The internal model controller is configured for controlling the air flowrate of the fuel cell system in the leakage condition to control the fuel cell temperature. A fuel cell system with the temperature control system is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180172567
    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED Under conventional methods, calculation for determining the extent of damage progression inside a structural body by computation is difficult to apply in actual practice, and also time consuming. In addition, detection of damage occurring in objects with complicated shapes or infinitesimal damage is particularly difficult. SOLUTION When pressure applied from one surface of an object to be measured to another surface thereof is pressurized or depressurized, the distance d1 between two distorted sections R1, R2 due to damage formed on the other surface S, is detected and the extent of the said damage progression is measured.
