Abstract

An encryption module and the decryption module cooperate with an identity-based key generator of users in a communication system in order to use an identity-based and certificate-based construction using two or more encryption schemes. An encrypted message is communicated between users of the communication system such that the encrypted message received by the device of the user needs keys from each of the two or more encryption schemes to be able to decrypt the encrypted message. The validation module cooperates with a limited-time of validity certificate issued from a certificate authority platform to decrypt the encrypted message via the limited-time of validity certificate. The validation module allows the decryption module to decrypt the encrypted message with the limited-time of validity certificate corresponding to an identity of the user when the user is determined to be actually validated for a period of time specified for the limited-time of validity certificate. The certificate authority platform grants the users validation.

Abstract

A computing system that receives an audio waveform representing speech from an individual and produces as output a modified version of the audio waveform that maintains the speaker's speech characteristics as well as prosody for specific utterances (e.g., voice timbre, intonation, timing, intensity). The system uses a bottleneck-based autoencoder with speech spectrograms as input and output. To produce the output audio waveform, the system includes a reconstruction error-based loss function with two additional loss functions. The second loss function is speaker “real vs fake” discriminator that penalizes for the output not sounding like the speaker. The third loss function is a speech intelligibility scorer that penalizes the output for speech that is difficult for the target population to understand. The produced modified audio waveform is an enhanced speech output that delivers speech m a target accent without sacrificing the personality of the speaker.

Abstract

A variety of transmission mechanisms are provided that include ‘radially inverted’ pulleys that are nested within each other or otherwise overlap in order to exert ‘inward’ forces onto a compressive belt that transmits power between the pulleys. By exerted forces ‘inward’ onto the belt, the belt can be subjected to net compression everywhere along its length. This allows the belt to be less complex and to have a lower cost than belts of transmissions that exert forces ‘outward’ from pulleys onto a belt, thus requiring expensive and technically challenging belt packs or other elements to sustain the longitudinal tensions experienced by such belts, even when such belts are operated as “push” belts. Transmissions that include such ‘radially inverted’ pulleys can exhibit reduced size and cost and increased power capacity compared to transmissions that employ ‘non-radially inverted’ pulleys.

Abstract

A robotic manipulator is provided that exhibits improved grip strength and dexterity. The manipulator includes multiple fingers, each of which includes a grip surface formed by a belt running along a. compliant member. Actuation of the fingers about axes of rotation that are not parallel to the grip surfaces can result in exertion of forces from the compliant member into an object, resulting in deformation of the compliant member, This deformation can improve the contact area and grip strength with which the object is held. The belt can be driven along the grip surface, allowing the object to also be rotated around an axis that is not parallel to the direction along the grip surface while still being held securely. Each finger may also include a compliant joint to allow the fingers to rotate passively when an object is held, orienting the grip surfaces toward the object to improve grip strength.

Abstract

Repulsive force created by actuated permanent magnets is used to levitate and transport heavy loads. A bed of permanent magnets is selectively actuated to levitate an array of magnets positioned above the bed, such that the magnets in the levitated array are opposed to the actuated magnets, and of the same magnetic pole, thereby creating a repulsive force. The actuated magnets are vertically offset from magnets in the bed of permanent magnets that have not been raised, thereby imparting maximum levitation forces to the magnets in the levitated array. These systems can levitate and transport objects over level or sloped surfaces, in a straight path or along curves and corners. A bed of magnets can be attached to the floor, or to a set of moving decks that rearrange themselves in a desired path. Our systems can simulate walking or running, similar to a treadmill or virtual gaming platform.

Abstract

A variety of bidirectional wrap spring clutch mechanisms, and improvements thereof, are provided. These mechanisms include a single wrap spring that is operable to bidirectionally couple an input shaft to an output shaft, a brake, or some other output member. Use of a single w rap spring for bidirectional clutching results in reduced size, weight, cost, and complexity. Each end of the wrap spring is coupled to a respective tang block that can be magnetically or mechanically controlled to prevent engagement of the wrap spring (by exerting forces to, e.g., expand the wrap spring) or to permit engagement of the wrap spring in one or both directions. This can include exerting magnetic forces onto the tang block(s) from a non-rotating coil or exerting axial mechanical forces, through a bearing, onto a rotating mechanism that converts the axial force into mechanical forces on the ends of the wrap spring.
