Publication number: 20230298567Abstract: Implementations of the subject matter described herein provide a solution for speech synthesis and speech recognition. In this solution, a Text to Speech (TTS) model and an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model supporting at least one language are obtained. The TTS model and the ASR model are adjusted, based on a first set of paired data in a target language, to support the target language. The TTS model is optimized based on the first set of paired data and a first set of synthesized paired data in the target language generated by the ASR model while the ASR model is optimized based on the first set of paired data and a second set of synthesized paired data in the target language generated by the TTS model. As such, the solution can provide TTS and ASR models with high accuracy for languages lacking training data by using less training data.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2021Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Xu Tan, Tao Qin, Jun-Wei Gan, Sheng Zhao, Tie-Yan Liu

Publication number: 20210252283Abstract: A fixation mechanism of an implantable medical device is formed by a plurality of tines fixedly mounted around a perimeter of a distal end of the device. Each tine may be said to include a first segment fixedly attached to the device, a second segment extending from the first segment, and a third segment, to which the second segment extends. When the device is loaded in a lumen of a delivery tool and a rounded free distal end of each tine engages a sidewall that defines the lumen, to hold the tines in a spring-loaded condition, the first segment of each tine, which has a spring-biased pre-formed curvature, becomes relatively straightened, and the third segment of each tine, which is terminated by the free distal end, extends away from the axis of the device at an acute angle in a range from about 45 degrees to about 75 degrees.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Xin Chen, Michael D.

Patent number: 10292892Abstract: A pneumatic lower extremity gait rehabilitation training system includes a support device for reducing the burden of supporting a user's body weight by lower extremity in a walking therapy, an exoskeleton rehabilitation device for adjusting the user's walking coordination at a treadmill, a center-of-gravity adjusting device for adjusting a change of upper and lower centers of gravity, and a remote monitoring device for receiving and capturing a signal of an angle displacement of a joint mechanism in a walking cycle. The user may support her/his body weight by the support device and the center-of-gravity adjusting device to reduce the gravity exerted onto the user's legs. The exoskeleton rehabilitation device improves the flexibility, safety and lightweight of walking and requires fewer driving elements. The remote monitoring device sends analyzed signals to the treadmill to adjust the user's walking speed, so as to improve the rehabilitation effect.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Lunghwa University of Science and TechnologyInventors: Ching-Sheng Lee, I-Hsun Li, Hsin-Han Chiang, Lian-Wang Lee, Fu-Chen Hong, Rui-Peng Chen, Wei-Gan Chen
