外企头条：“宅游”世界？爱彼迎中国开放“线上体验”服务
5月28日，美国共享民宿企业爱彼迎“线上体验”正式面向中国用户开放。
“线上体验”其实就是通过互联网向用户提供远程游览服务，让用户借由视频音频等在家“周游世界”。这一模式也可被称为“云旅游”“宅游”等。
“线上体验”反映了什么行业现状？当前，新冠疫情冲击全球，由于各种封锁措施，人流物流被大范围阻断。这对于全球旅游业来说，损失惨重。
据《世界旅游晴雨表》预测， 2020年全球国际游客数量将同比下降58%至78%，损失达9100亿至1.2万亿美元，一大批旅游相关企业及其就业受到影响。
为此，推出“在线旅游”成为众多旅游从业者面对市场危机的因应之策。爱彼迎此举无疑也是一种减少疫情冲击、开发新业态的有益尝试。

bp向威联化学授权最新一代PTA生产技术
bp Licenses Its Latest Generation PTA Technology To Weilian Chemical
bp与东营威联化学有限公司达成协议，向其技术授权bp最新一代PTA生产技术。
bp has entered into an agreement to license its latest generation technology for the production of purified terephthalic acid to Chinas Dongying Weilian Chemical Co。， Ltd。
PTA是用于生产聚酯产品的关键原材料。中国是世界上最大的PTA生产国，占全球总产量的一半以上。
China is the worlds largest PTA producer， a key feedstock for the production of polyester plastics， and accounts for more than half of global production。
此次授权威联化学的技术，其关键优势已在bp全球最大的PTA生产基地，即珠海PTA旗舰工厂，得到充分证明。
The key characteristics of the technology licensed to Weilian Chemical have been proven at bp‘s Zhuhai plant in southern China， bp’s largest PTA production facility worldwide so far。
根据内部调研，相较于其他PTA生产科技，bp的技术在运营成本与资本投入方面，不仅有显著优势，且能够帮助企业收到较高的投资回报。
Based on internal comparisons with conventional PTA technology， there are significant reductions in both operational costs and capital costs， which should help achieve high investment returns。
与此同时，该技术在生产过程中所产生的热能可被回收，用于余热发电。在满足工厂自用的同时，多余电力还可供给外部电网，助力满足当地社区的能源需求。
The electricity generated by the Zhuhai plant from applying bps technology is expected to result in a surplus that can be transmitted to the external power grid， supporting the energy needs of the local community。
除此之外，bp的厌氧废水处理技术处理能力更高， bp 世界领先的压缩工艺极大提高了土地利用率。
bps anaerobic wastewater technology allows for increased treatment capacity， while its world-class compression process reduces land use。
这架无人机可以玩躲避球
This Drone Can Play Dodgeball
苏黎世大学的研究人员通过使用新型摄像机，演示了飞行机器人如何可以检测并躲避快速移动的物体。
Using a novel type of cameras， researchers from the University of Zurich have demonstrated a flying robot that can detect and avoid fast-moving objects。
此次试验向研发出在恶劣环境下可以更快飞行的无人机又迈出了一步，这样它可以在更短的时间内完成更多工作。
A step towards drones that can fly faster in harsh environments， accomplishing more in less time。
对于在搜索和救援领域的应用，例如地震后，时间非常关键，因此需要无人机能够尽可能快地飞行，以便在其有限的电池寿命内完成更多工作。
For search and rescue applications， such as after an earthquake， time is very critical， so we need drones that can navigate as fast as possible in order to accomplish more within their limited battery life。
但是无人机飞行速度越快，他们与障碍物碰撞的风险就越高，而当障碍物在移动时，这个风险会更高。
However， by navigating fast drones are also more exposed to the risk of colliding with obstacles， and even more if these are moving。
为了解决这个问题，苏黎世大学的研究人员通过为四旋翼飞行器配备特殊的摄像头和算法，
In order to solve this problem， researchers at the University of Zurich have equipped a quadcopter with special cameras and algorithms that reduced its reaction time down to a few milliseconds –
将其反应时间缩短到几毫秒——这足以使它可以躲避从短距离投掷的球，这一结果将帮助无人机在自然灾害等情况下发挥更大的作用。
enough to avoid a ball thrown at it from a short distance。 The results can make drones more effective in situations such as the aftermath of a natural disaster。
此项目由瑞士国家科学基金会通过国家机器人技术能力研究中心资助。
The work was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation through the National Center of Competence in Research Robotics。
迪士尼7月重开佛罗里达州主题公园
