  • Patent number: 11979099
    Abstract: A fluid-induced vibration energy harvesting apparatus with a non-rotating bluff body is provided. The apparatus does not use a common design method of rigidly securing a bluff body to an elastic beam in a design of the bluff body, but adopts a manner of connecting the bluff body and the elastic beam through a rotating shaft and a connecting shaft. Because a kinematic pair at a connection position is a rotating pair, the bluff body will only vibrate transversely and will not rotate, thereby achieving an effect of increasing an amplitude at the same frequency, and finally realizing an increase of converted electric energy and improving the conversion efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20230410791
    Abstract: A text-to-speech synthesis method, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: obtaining prosodic pause features of an input text by performing a prosodic pause prediction processing on the input text, and dividing the input text into a plurality of prosodic phrases according to the prosodic pause features; synthesizing short sentence audios according to the prosodic phrases by performing a streamed speech synthesis processing on each of the prosodic phrases in the input text in a manner of asynchronous processing of a thread pool; and performing an audio playback operation of the input text according to the short sentence audios corresponding to the first prosodic phrase of the input text, in response to synthesizing the short sentence audio corresponding to the first prosodic phrase of the input text.

  • Patent number: 11813754
    Abstract: A grabbing method for an industrial robot is disclosed. The method includes obtaining an object information file. The object information file includes numbers and/or positions of detected objects. The method further includes determining collision boundary lines and collision representative objects according to the object information file. In addition, the method includes determining a collision-free grabbing path of a gripper of the industrial robot based on the determined collision boundary lines and the collision representative objects. The collision-free grabbing path is a linear path that satisfies joint limits of the industrial robot. The disclosure further relates to a grabbing device for an industrial robot, a computer storage medium, and an industrial robot.
