我国最大的导弹制造企业中国航天科工集团公司的研究人员,用他们的专业技能为主妇等食品市场顾客设计和制造了一款手持神器。
Researchers at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, the nation's largest missile-maker, have turned their expertise to designing and producing a handheld gadget meant for homemakers and other food market shoppers.
“鲜鼻子”是一个尺寸不大的电子设备,它能鉴别你要购买的肉的新鲜度。
The small "freshness sniffer" is an electronic device that determines the freshness of meat you are about to buy or cook.
其工作原理是基于感应和测量技术,这些技术早已被应用于导弹和太空设备中。
It's based on sensor and measurement technologies long employed in missiles and space equipment.
在该企业主要负责产品开发的工程师牛晔表示:“该设备可以告诉你肉是新鲜的还是不新鲜的、需要煮熟,亦或是它已经变质了。”
"It can tell you whether the meat is fresh, or not so fresh and needs to be cooked well, or if it has already become spoiled," said Niu Ye, an engineer at the institute who is in charge of the product's development.
“你要做的就是打开该设备和手机上的应用程序,然后将其放置在离肉很近的地方大约10秒钟的时间。”
"You open the device and an application on your mobile phone and then place the device very close to the meat for about 10 seconds."
“鲜鼻子”是通过蓝牙与手机相连的。它通过对氨气以及挥发性有机物的浓度的检测,从而判断生肉中的细菌活跃度。
The "freshness sniffer" is connected to the mobile phone via Bluetooth. It detects and measures the presence of ammonia and volatile organic compounds to determine bacteriological activity in uncooked meat.
接着它就会分析出肉类新鲜度,并将结果显示在手机上。
Then it analyzes the results to judge the meat's freshness and displays its verdict on the phone.
