Future Fashion: Biometric Bodysuits

A team of the Applied NanoBioscience Center at Arizona State University has built prototypes (原型) of biometric bodysuits. They can detect chemical attacks, deliver drugs to their 1 , or even perfume scents if your body temperature rises too much. The 2 version of the Scentsory Chameleon Bodysuit incorporates fuel cells to provide a lightweight source of power for the soldier’s equipment. The civilian one can monitor your heart or blood pressure, deliver interactive games or simply work as a wearable computer. You will even be able to download new colors and patterns from the Web to change your appearance according to this article from East Valley Tribune in Arizona. Both versions should 3 the market within a few years.

Frederic Zenhausern, director of the Applied NanoBioscience Center at ASU, has joined with Ghassan Jabbour, a professor at the University of Arizona, to develop two prototypes of “biometric bodysuits” that contain embedded sensors, power sources, microfluidic devices and other gadgets not normally associated with the latest Paris fashions. Such “smart” clothing could 4 future soldiers early warning of chemical attacks or automatically deliver insulin to diabetics, Zenhausemn said. “The biometric bodysuit shows how electronics and fluidics (流体学) can be incorporated into clothing to perform a wide range of 5 tasks, from highly functional to the aesthetic.” he said.

The civilian Chameleon will have somewhat different 6 . Its biometric outfit demonstrates how miniature electronics could be embedded in clothing to promote health. It is made of clear vinyl (乙烯基) and white plastics to show the placement of various electronic and fluidic devices. In the future, such an outfit could diagnose diseases and deliver medications to the wearer, monitor heart rate or blood pressure, deliver interactive games and other forms of entertainment or 7 as a wearable computer.

Another possibility would be to download different designs from the Internet so the fabric could change colors and patterns, Zenhausern said. And it could all be made to look stylish by the 8 of electronics and high-fashion designs, he said. In fact, the concept of embedding microelectronics in fabrics has 9 far beyond clothing. Sheila Kennedy, a Boston-based architect and visiting professor at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, sees possibilities to 10 the technology in building design. As an example, she said window shades containing organic light emitting diodes (二极管) could produce electricity from sunlight that would help generate power.

Inspired by Arctic Life

Polar bears are warm-blooded animals with heavy fat and fur that can survive in freezing Arctic temperatures. A team of students from the Royal Danish Academy, inspired by polar bears, designed a pop-up igloo (弹出式冰屋)—an emergency tent that might make survival in sub-zero areas much more 1 .

Led by Henry Glogau, the team said that their design can help those lost or 2 in extreme conditions. With little visibility and no phone coverage, people may face severe 3 while waiting for rescue in cold polar areas. Rather than fight against the extreme conditions, the team looked to use them to its advantage. “Inspired by snow caves and the 4 winter-used tents, we treat snow as a building material rather than a burden,” the team told Vigour Times website.

The pop-up igloo adopts a mylar (聚酯薄膜) material, which works similarly to polar bears’ skin. Besides their thick fat and fur, polar bears have black skin underneath, which is ideal for absorbing 5 from the Arctic sun. In the same way, the mylar material reflects heat into the area within the tent to keep people feeling comfortable. The pop-up igloo also features an origami-like (像折纸的) design, which helps to trap the snow and 6 the tent. The origami pockets create areas where snow can 7 up on the outside. It prevents heat from escaping from the tent, while holding the tent to the ground. This adds another protective 8 to everything inside.

To check its capabilities and limits, the team put the design through intensive testing for one month in Alaska. The analysis indicates that an average 37°C 9 in temperature between indoors and outdoors could be maintained. In the future, the pop-up igloos could be 10 along hiking routes in cold areas like the Arctic, where they could be set up in seconds when needed.

A small robot may help children who are recovering from a long-term illness in the hospital or at home.

These children may feel 1 from their friends and classmates. The robot takes their place at school. Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends.

Norwegian researchers have 2 a clever way to keep children recovering from long-term illness connected to their friends and their education. Now, these children may have a high-tech friend.-a robot.

The robot is called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is 3 while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk.

A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. Karen Dolva was one of the co-founders. She explains how the robot AV1 works. From home, the child uses a tablet’ or phone to start the robot. Then they use the same device to control the robot’s 4 . At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child.

The student can take part in classroom 5 from wherever they are recovering, whether at home or from a hospital bed. The robot is 6 with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy.

The robot was designed to be 7 . It is water resistant and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to a 4G network A small camera 8 up to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same.

AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is 9 to be a friend to the children. And robots are, quite simply, cool. The robot just became 10 to the public. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class.

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者去海滩旅行，发现海滩有很多塑料，于是发明了一种新型包装并获得环境创新奖。

【推荐3】Choose the correct options to complete her presentation.

I recently came back from a trip to the beach and was very upset to see the amount of 1 scene/plastic on the beach and in the water. It’s disappointing to see the 2 ingredient/environment destroyed like this. Even though many people are trying to 3 reorganise/recycle, there is 4 hopefully/unfortunately still so much plastic waste that ends up being thrown away. Then I thought about doing something. As a result, I invented a new type of packaging. It is made from plant leaves and it is as light as plastic. It can be made into either bags or other types of 5 packet/shape. It is very convenient for 6 scientists/consumers to use. I am so happy that I have won an award for this 7 integrating/innovation for the environment. I hope that everyone can do something for the environment.
