Abstract: A startup stage protection device used in Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) train coupler experiment is provided between two test cars. The startup stage protection device is arranged between and tightly abuts two test cars at the starting stage of the experiment to receive a compressing force in place of the coupler. The startup stage protection device separates from the two test cars after the end of the starting stage.

Abstract: The present application discloses a multi-region plasma shell-and-tube reactor comprising a shell body. At least two reaction regions are provided inside the shell body, and a horizontal separation panel is provided between any two adjacent reaction regions, used to separate the two and passing through the tubes. A central hole is provided in the center of any horizontal separation panel, and at least one auxiliary hole distributed around the central axis of the central hole is provided in any horizontal separation panel so as to cooperate with the central hole to cause a vortex state to be formed in a reaction region.

Abstract: An ankle prosthesis comprises a foot prosthesis. A lower ankle is pivotably secured to the foot prosthesis at an ankle joint. An upper ankle is connected to the lower ankle in a manner that permits vertical movement of the upper ankle relative to the lower ankle. A coupling spring is biased in an extended condition. The coupling spring is connected at a first end to the upper ankle. A second end of the coupling spring is movable in a first condition which is engaged to the lower ankle and in a second condition engaged to the foot prosthesis. Energy is stored in compression of the coupling spring when the coupling spring is in the first condition and energy is released from the coupling spring when the coupling spring is in the second condition.

Abstract: An image processing method is provided. The method includes obtaining a human facial image and providing a total of n number of source images in a preconfigured file, where n is an integer greater than 2, and each source image corresponds to adjusting parameters for the source image in the preconfigured file. The method also includes generating a synthesized human facial image for the each source image by adjusting the human facial image based on the adjusting parameters corresponding to the source image in the preconfigured file, individually synthesizing the each source image and the synthesized human facial image for the each source image to obtain n number frames of synthesized images, and combining the n number frames of synthesized images into a dynamic image in a time order.

Abstract: A mechanism capable of achieving an arbitrarily specified spatial compliant behavior is presented. The mechanism is a parallel connection of multiple individual elastic components that connect a support body to a single compliantly floated body. Each elastic component is, in itself, a low friction 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) mechanism that provides compliant constraint along and/or about a single axis. The elastic components are of three functional types: 1) a “line spring” which resists only translation along its axis, 2) a “torsional spring” which resists only rotation about its axis, and 3) a “screw spring” which resists a specified combination of translation along and rotation about its axis. Through proper selection of the connection geometry, spring constant, and functional type of each elastic component, a spatial compliant mechanism capable of passive force guidance is realized.
