A heat-expandable microcapsule comprising a polymer shell formed by polymerizing (I) acrylonitrile, a main monomer component, (II) a monomer having carboxyl and (III) a monomer having groups reactive with the carboxyl of the monomer (II) and of a liquid having a boiling point lower than the softening point of the polymer and being encapsulated in the polymer shell. The heat-expandable microcapsules expand within high temperature range, 240° C. or above, and have heat-resistance.

A system, method, computer program product and propagated signal for an automatic parking system. The system includes a sensing subsystem for detecting an occupancy status of a vehicle parking space, said sensing subsystem providing a real-time occupancy status signal for said vehicle parking space wherein said occupancy status signal includes an occupied mode and an unoccupied mode; a communications subsystem, coupled to said sensing subsystem, for transmitting said occupancy status signal; and a management subsystem for receiving said occupancy status signal, said management subsystem processing a parking transaction for said vehicle parking space automatically upon a mode change of said occupancy status signal. A method includes automatically opening a parking transaction upon detecting an occupation of a parking space or area and automatically closing a parking transaction upon detecting a vacation of a parking space or area. Additional elements may include an authorization system and a notification system. The methods include identified parking methods for detecting automatically changes in an occupancy status of one or more parking spaces or areas and automatically initiating / closing, as appropriate, parking transactions responsive to appropriate detected changes in occupancy status signals associated with each of the one or more parking spaces, as well as methods of making and using the disclosed systems. Computer program products and propagated signals include computer-executable instructions for implementing the systems and methods.

A method for correlating tracking data associated with an activity occurring in a three-dimensional space with images captured within the space comprises the steps of: (a) locating a camera with respect to the three-dimensional space, wherein the camera at a given location has a determinable orientation and field of view that encompasses at least a portion of the space; (b) capturing a plurality of images with the camera and storing data corresponding to the images, including a capture time for each image; (c) capturing tracking data from identification tags attached to the people and / or objects within the space and storing the tracking data, including a tag capture time for each time that a tag is remotely accessed; (d) correlating each image and the tracking data by interrelating tracking data having a tag capture time in substantial correspondence with the capture time of each image, thereby generating track data corresponding to each image; (e) utilizing the track data to determine positions of the people and / or objects within the three dimensional space at the capture time of each image; and (f) utilizing the location and orientation of the camera to determine the portion of the space captured in each image and thereby reduce the track data to a track data subset corresponding to people and / or objects positioned within the portion of space captured in each image.

An operator telerobotically controls tools to perform a procedure on an object at a work site while viewing real-time images of the work site on a display. Tool information is provided in the operator's current gaze area on the display by rendering the tool information over the tool so as not to obscure objects being worked on at the time by the tool nor to require eyes of the user to refocus when looking at the tool information and the image of the tool on a stereo viewer.

An operator telerobotically controls tools to perform a procedure on an object at a work site while viewing real-time images of the object, tools and work site on a display. Tool information is provided by filtering a part of the real-time images for enhancement or degradation to indicate a state of a tool and displaying the filtered images on the display.

The invention relates to a robot positioning method based on a wireless sensor network and a geomagnetic map. wireless sensor network nodes, during the movement of the robot, by activating A wireless sensor network node, use RSSI to obtain the observation model of wireless sensor network nodes and robots; then use PSO and multi-sensor information fusion to obtain the particle likelihood; at the same time obtain the weight of particles in the particle swarm optimization method; Resampling and fitness function judgment are used to obtain the position of the optimal particle, obtain a local geomagnetic map, and use the geomagnetic matching method to achieve precise positioning, and finally obtain the absolute position. The present invention is easy to associate data, no wrong association occurs during observation, and the robustness and accuracy of the network are improved; at the same time, a more realistic system state distribution prediction is obtained, which makes the positioning of the robot more accurate and reduces the calculation amount of geomagnetic matching. The real-time performance of the method is increased.

A method for coordinating operation of motor vehicles with a coordination device having a sensor, a computing device and a communication device includes determining from sensor data location and movement information of the motor vehicles, calculating an expected trajectory for each motor vehicle from the location and movement information, checking whether trajectories of different motor vehicles spatially and temporally overlap so as to create a conflict, in the event of a conflict transmitting a driving instruction to at least one motor vehicle, and executing the driving instruction or displaying the driving instruction on a display device of the at least one motor vehicle.

A method and a valve arrangement are disclosed for pressure-sensor diagnosis of an operating state of a valve arrangement for controlling a process medium flow, in which a valve element, which is arranged such that it can move axially within a valve housing, is moved by application of control pressure, with the control pressure being determined in the starting and / or stopped phase of the valve element in order to determine static friction. A pressure rise value of control pressure required to start movement of the valve element is measured repeatedly and successively after the movement of the valve element has been stopped. The measured pressure rise values are temporarily stored in a memory unit. A diagnosis unit accesses the pressure rise values in order to determine a probable influence of the static friction on the movement of the valve element, by statistical analysis.
