Abstract: A request response processing unit calculates, based on observation information about the agent, at least one other agent near the agent, and the task, a request parameter as to whether or not to request help, and a response parameter as to whether or not to respond to a request from the at least one other agent. An importance processing unit performs processing for calculating, based on at least the request parameter of the at least one other agent and the response parameter of the agent, importance of each of the tasks for the agent. A task selection unit selects the task to be performed by the agent according to the importance. A task execution unit controls the agent so that it performs the selected task.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a display program including a set of program instructions for a display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a camera, a display, and a controller. The set of program instructions, when executed by the controller, causes the display apparatus to perform: acquiring a shot image representing a real space, the shot image being an image shot by the camera; acquiring target information indicating a thread spool of a detection target; detecting a thread spool position on the shot image for the thread spool of the detection target, based on the shot image and the target information; generating a display image based on the shot image, the display image indicating the thread spool position; and displaying the display image on the display.

Abstract: The sewing system includes a device and a sewing machine including a movement mechanism to move an embroidery frame. The device identifies reference point coordinates representing a position of a reference point provided in a range prescribed by an inner frame of the embroidery frame and transmits the reference point coordinates to the sewing machine. The sewing machine notifies a notification position, using a notification portion, with respect to the range prescribed by the inner frame and acquires a relative movement amount of the embroidery frame with respect to the notification portion, for aligning the notification position and the reference point provided in the range prescribed by the inner frame. The sewing machine decides, on the basis of a relationship between the movement amount and the reference point coordinates, a deviation from a prescribed state of a positional relationship between the inner frame and the movement mechanism.

Abstract: An embroidery data generation system includes a terminal apparatus and an embroidery data generation apparatus. A terminal controller acquires a generation condition of embroidery data inputted via an input device, transmits the acquired generation condition to the embroidery data generation apparatus via a terminal communication interface, and controls a display to display a preview image indicating an embroidery finish of an embroidery pattern based on image data transmitted from the embroidery data generation apparatus. An apparatus controller receives the generation condition transmitted from the terminal apparatus via an apparatus communication interface, generates the embroidery data for sewing the embroidery pattern based on the received generation condition, generates the image data for displaying the preview image on the display based on the received generation condition, and transmits the generated image data to the terminal apparatus having transmitted the generation condition.

Abstract: A memory of a sewing machine stores a plurality of notification conditions for notifying an information processing device of an extent of progress of sewing of the embroidery pattern. The notification conditions include a first notification condition for notifying that the extent of progress is a first extent and a second notification condition for notifying that the extent of progress is a second extent. The sewing machine transmits, to the information processing device, first extent information indicating the first extent, when the sewing machine determines that the first notification condition is satisfied. The sewing machine transmits, to the information processing device, the second extent information indicating the second extent, when the sewing machine determines that the second notification condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A heat conducting sheet has an overall sheet structure with a plurality of heat conducting regions. Each heat conducting region is continuous between the two primary surfaces of the heat conducting sheet, and connecting regions connect adjacent side-walls of the plurality of heat conducting regions stacked laterally between the primary surfaces. The heat conducting regions include vacancies. The connecting regions consist of material that includes flexible resin material and unfilled layers are formed in part of the connecting regions. Some of the resin material can ingress into part of heat conducting region vacancies. This structure can achieve a highly elastic and flexible heat conducting sheet due to vacancies in the heat conducting regions and unfilled layers in the connecting region.

Abstract: A surveillance performance (information expressing uncertainty of information relating to a potential risk area in a region that requires monitoring) and a tracking performance (information expressing the product of an importance level of a potential risk area and a coverage ratio (an overlap rate between potential risk areas and moving bodies)) are mutually analyzed, and plural moving bodies are allotted to either surveillance or tracking. Potential risk areas that require monitoring are determined such that the surveillance performance and the tracking performance respectively satisfy predetermined levels. The plural moving bodies are allocated to potential risk areas determined to be potential risk areas that require monitoring (simultaneous optimization). The respective moving bodies subject to simultaneous optimization start moving toward their allocated potential risk areas to monitor the potential risk areas.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll. An orbiting angle of the orbiting scroll when a compression chamber is formed and compression of fluid is initiated is referred to as an orbiting initiation angle. An orbiting angle of the orbiting scroll when the compression of the fluid is terminated is referred to as an orbiting termination angle. An orbiting angle of the orbiting scroll when an end of the orbiting spiral wall initiates contact with an arcuate portion of the fixed spiral wall is referred to as a distal end contact initiation angle. The formation point distance is a peak in at least one of orbiting angles obtained by subtracting integer multiples of 360° from an orbiting angle in a range from the distal end contact initiation angle to the orbiting termination angle.

Abstract: A counter is synchronized with a counter within a communication device and measures, as a first count value, a timing before a PTP packet is input to a processing unit that performs processing on the PTP packet. A multiplexing unit multiplexes the first count value into the PTP packet. The counter measures, as a second count value, a timing when processing by a processing unit that performs processing on the PTP packet is completed. A count extraction unit extracts the first count value from the PTP packet. A modification unit modifies a correction field by calculating a modification value based on the second count value, the first count value, and a value of the correction field within the PTP packet, the value of the correction field indicating a total amount of delay in a relay device.

Abstract: A blind spot coverage device that includes: a sensor section that senses external environmental information; a definition section that defines an external environmental region, in which sensing information is unobtainable, as a blind spot region; a determination section that determines whether or not the blind spot region is to be covered; and an instructing section that, in a case in which the determination section determines that the blind spot region is to be covered, instructs an actuator to move such that the blind spot region is covered. The determination section determines that the blind spot region is to be covered in a case in which determination is made that the blind spot region lacks global coverage.
