Sensing a new market, several companies have launched devices designed to streamline the selfie-taking experience. The selfie stick (produced by multiple brands), which enables users to position their smartphone beyond arms’ reach to get better photo angles, “adds genuine value,”says Van Baker, a mobile tech analyst at the research firm Gartner. “I’ve seen a lot of people using it.”
一些公司看到了其中的商机,纷纷推出各种帮助自拍的“神器”。自拍杆的出现避免了自拍的人用手举相机的不便,帮助提供更好的自拍角度。“这个发明非常实用,”Gartner研究公司的移动技术分析师范•贝克说,“我看到很多人都在用。”
The Filter that Fights Ebola
18.埃博拉病毒过滤器
What makes the Ebola virus so frightening is its speed. In a matter of days, it can pump out enough copies of itself to overtake the immune system. But the Hemopurifier, a specially designed cartridge that attaches to a dialysis machine, can tip the balance back in the body’s favor: its lectin filter attracts Ebola viruses and sucks them from the blood as it flows through. It’s been used only once, on a patient in Germany, but it did the trick—effectively curing his Ebola infection. In the future, doctors hope similar tech could be used on viruses like hepatitis.
埃博拉病毒之所以如此令人恐惧,原因就在于它的传播速度相当快。短短几天时间里,它就能疯狂自我复制到足以攻击免疫系统的地步。这款圆筒状的Hemopurifier是一款能与透析设备连接的特殊装置,它能够对已经感染埃博拉病毒血液进行过滤。目前它只在德国一名患者身上使用过一次,但它有效地治愈了病人的病毒感染。医生们希望类似的科技产品也能够应用在肝炎等病症上。
