  • Patent number: 11423260
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an anomaly detection method and apparatus for multi-type data. According to the anomaly detection method for multi-type data, an adversarial learning network is trained, so that a generator in the adversarial learning network fits a distribution of a normal training sample and learns a potential mode of the normal training sample, to obtain an updated adversarial learning network, an anomaly evaluation function in the updated adversarial learning network is constructed according to a reconstruction error generated during training, and the updated adversarial learning network is constructed into an anomaly detection model, to perform anomaly detection on inputted detection data by the anomaly detection model, to obtain an anomaly detection result. A mode classifier is introduced to effectively resolve difficult anomaly detection when a distribution of detected data is similar to that of normal data, further improving the accuracy of anomaly detection.

  • Publication number: 20210007874
    Abstract: Wearable devices protect against musculoskeletal injuries and enhance performance. Systems and methods provide wearable devices to assist with human motion during physical activities, such as performing movements (e.g., lifting) and holding static poses (e.g., crouching, or holding a tool while working overhead). Materials, constructions, and system architectures allow the wearable devices to be worn over, under, or integrated into clothing for extended periods of time to improve performance or reduce risk of injury. Sensors may be included in the wearable devices to detect various activities, motions, and postures of the wearer, and various active and semi-active controls approaches may leverage sensor information to provide tailored assistance to individual users. Various controls optimization techniques ensure the wearable devices operate at peak efficiency.

    Abstract: A motion control system includes an actuator having an actuation member, the actuation member having a proximal end attached to the actuator on a first side of a joint and a distal end attached to an anchor element attachment point on a second side of the joint. A first sensor is configured to output signals defining a gait cycle and a second sensor is configured to output signals representing a tensile force in the at least one actuation member. A controller receives the output signals from the sensors and actuates the actuator, during a first portion of the gait cycle, to apply a force greater than a predetermined threshold tensile force to the anchor element attachment point via the actuation member to generate a beneficial moment about the joint and to automatically actuate the actuator.
