  • Publication number: 20250098922
    Abstract: An electric appliance includes a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to call and execute the instructions to control a first device to acquire a user instruction for a second device, generate an operation instruction for the second device based on the user instruction, and send the operation instruction to the second device to control the second device to perform a corresponding target operation. The first device is one of a clothes treatment device and a floor cleaning device, and the second device is another one of the clothes treatment device and the floor cleaning device.

  • Patent number: 12224151
    Abstract: An open microfocus X-ray source and a control method thereof are provided. The open microfocus X-ray source includes: an open X-ray tube, a high voltage power supply (HVPS) system, a vacuum system and a control system. The open X-ray tube includes a cathode system, a deflection system and a focusing system. The HVPS system is configured to provide an emission current I0, an accelerating high voltage U0 and a grid voltage UG for an electron beam. The vacuum system is configured to perform vacuumization. The control system is configured to control, according to a spot size of an electron beam for bombarding an anode target, the HVPS system to adjust the emission current I0, the accelerating high voltage U0, a deflection coil current IXY of the deflection system, and a focusing coil current IF of the focusing system, such that the spot size meets a preset requirement.

  • Patent number: 11360832
    Abstract: An operation method of robot operating system and a robot control method are provided in this invention. The operation method of robot operating system includes steps of: monitoring an operating state of the Linux kernel through the security kernel when the security kernel and the Linux kernel of the robot operating system are both started; and hosting the Linux kernel through the security kernel when the Linux kernel runs abnormally or crashes. The technical scheme of the present invention is able to improve stability and safety of the robot operation.

  • Patent number: 11216319
    Abstract: An Intelligent Real-Time Robot Operating System (IRT-ROS) architecture and an operation method thereof are provided. The IRT-ROS architecture includes a General-Purpose OS kernel, a Real-Time OS kernel, and an Inter-processor Interrupt interface. The General-Purpose OS kernel is configured to run a General-Purpose OS to execute a non-real-time process. The Real-Time OS kernel is configured to run a Real-Time OS to execute a real-time process. The IPI interface is connected between the General-Purpose OS kernel and the Real-Time OS kernel, and is configured to support communication between the non-real-time process and the real-time process. The AIRT-ROS architecture allows Linux and RTERS to respectively execute non-real-time process and real-time process, and to respectively respond IRQ of non-real-time devices and IRQ of real-time devices. Communications between non-real-time process and real-time process are supported.
