Does there exist a nontrivial triangular weak Hopf algebra?

Quasitriangular weak Hopf algebras (QWHAs) are defined in Nikshych-Turaev-Vainerman (2000): A QWHA is a pair ($H,\mathcal{R}$) where $H$ is a WHA and $\mathcal{R} \in \Delta^{op}(1)(H\otimes H)\Delta(...

Are the Drinfeld doubles of twist equivalent Hopf algebras twist equivalent?

Let $H_1$ and $H_2$ be finite dimensional Hopf algebras that are twist equivalent, i.e. $H_2$ is obtained from $H_1$ using a Drinfeld twist. My question is: are the Drinfeld doubles $D(H_1)$ and $D(...
