  • Patent number: 11958186
    Abstract: Structural members and methods for manufacturing a plastic-based, bulk, antimicrobial structural member of a robot. Such bulk antimicrobial plastic solution can meet the hygienic requirement and the mechanical performance requirement of a structural member of a robot simultaneously. Meanwhile, it may reduce the overall weight of the robot.

  • Publication number: 20230184319
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a gearbox housing. The gearbox housing has a housing body and an annular gear. The housing body comprises an annular support and a lateral portion provided at a side face of the annular support. The lateral portion has a hole formed thereon for an input shaft to pass through. The annular gear is provided inside of the housing body along a radial direction and adapted to couple to the annular support, wherein a plurality of teeth are circumferentially provided at an inner side of the annular gear. A gear wheel with an output shaft is adapted to couple to the plurality of teeth.

  • Patent number: 11381651
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating interpretable user modeling system. The interpretable user modeling system can use an intent neural network to implement one or more tasks. The intent neural network can bridge a semantic gap between log data and human language by leveraging tutorial data to understand user logs in a semantically meaningful way. A memory unit of the intent neural network can capture information from the tutorial data. Such a memory unit can be queried to identify human readable sentences related to actions received by the intent neural network. The human readable sentences can be used to interpret the user log data in a semantically meaningful way.

  • Patent number: 11342095
    Abstract: An insulation material for a DC electrical component. The insulation material includes a thermoset or thermoplastic matrix and a functional filler component. The functional filler component has a non-linear DC conductivity depending on an applied electrical field strength. At least in a temperature range of 0° C. to 120° C., the functional filler component has a bandgap in the range of 2 to 5 eV, and optionally in the range of 2 to 4 eV. Furthermore, a method for producing an insulation material, a use of an insulation material for a high voltage DC electrical component, a DC electrical component comprising the insulation material and the use of a DC electrical component comprising the insulation material in a high voltage DC gas insulated device are suggested.

  • Patent number: 11209078
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a transmission gear and a deceleration mechanism including the same. The transmission gear includes a metal ring; and a plastic gear member integral with the metal ring by injection molding, the metal ring is coaxially wrapped in the plastic gear member and provided with a locating portion for locating the metal ring in an injection mold, the plastic gear member having an outer circumference that is tooth-shaped, and the plastic gear member being formed with an input hole thereon through which an input shaft passes, an outer ring surface of the metal ring being adjacent to the outer circumference, and an inner ring surface of the metal ring having a diameter greater than or equal to that of the input hole. Since almost no shrinkage occurs to the plastic gear member during injection molding, such a transmission gear has good dimensional accuracy, strength and rigidity.
