英國(guó)正在研制一種未來(lái)冰箱，它可以告訴你如何用剩菜做出美味佳肴,而且還 可以根據(jù)新鮮程度自動(dòng)調(diào)整食物的擺放順序。
這種自潔式“未來(lái)冰箱”會(huì)自動(dòng)下訂單讓超市送貨上門(mén)，它還會(huì)根據(jù)需要，把接 近保質(zhì)期的食物放在擱架的最前面。
Researchers hope the fridge could clean itself, cut down on wasted food and offer up recipes ——which could be tailored to different countries, cuisines and seasons.
研究人員希望這種冰箱可以自動(dòng)清潔、減少食物浪費(fèi)并提供食譜,在這些方面 能夠滿足不同國(guó)家、不同烹飪風(fēng)格和不同的季節(jié)需求。
With Brits putting in 36 million hours every year of free overtime — leaving little time for household chores — the refrigerator could help save precious time during hectic modern-day lives.
由于英國(guó)人每年都得超時(shí)加班3600萬(wàn)個(gè)小時(shí)，幾乎沒(méi)有什么閑暇時(shí)間去做家 務(wù)，而這種冰箱則可以幫助人們?cè)诜泵Φ默F(xiàn)代生活中節(jié)省寶貴的時(shí)間。
These new developments are in the pipeline thanks to collaborations3 between scientists at the University of Central Lancashire and online supermarket Ocado.
英國(guó)中央蘭開(kāi)夏大學(xué)的科學(xué)家與網(wǎng)上“奧卡多”超市目前正在聯(lián)合開(kāi)發(fā)這種未來(lái)冰箱。
The planned new features include the ability for refrigerators to scan their shelves to see what is in stock and use this information to both plan meals and automatically place a supermarket food order.
按照計(jì)劃，未來(lái)冰箱的新特點(diǎn)包括能夠掃描擱架上的食物、清點(diǎn)庫(kù)存，利用這 些信息安排晚餐，并自動(dòng)創(chuàng)建一份超市食物訂單。
The smart fridge will use “nano-articulated technology” shelf surfaces which, whilst smooth to the touch, will have millions of independently controlled micro-tiles which will manoeuvre products which soon need to be eaten to the front of the refrigerator.
這種智能冰箱的擱架表面將采用“納米合成技術(shù)”，由數(shù)百萬(wàn)獨(dú)立控制的微型 瓷磚組成，手感細(xì)膩平滑，可以把必須盡快食用的食物挪到冰箱擱架最前面。
Ultrasound-scanning technology built into the door will allow the refrigerator to “swipe and capture” the food on a plate before and after mealtime, meaning it can assess what type and amount of food is wasted.
冰箱門(mén)所采用的超聲波掃描技術(shù)使得冰箱可以在餐前和餐后“捕捉”到盤(pán)子里 的食物,這也就意味著它可以對(duì)被浪費(fèi)的食物的種類(lèi)和數(shù)量做出評(píng)估。
Dr. Simon Somerville, an expert from the University of Central Lancashire, said: “Cookbooks are essentially inventory lists of food items. To this end the most available information that the refrigerator will have is a set of permutations that allow a setnumber of ingredients to produce alarge number of quite different dishes. The key concept in the successful implementation of this process is accurate inventory tracking.”
中央蘭開(kāi)夏大學(xué)專(zhuān)家西蒙?薩默維爾博士指出：“菜譜從本質(zhì)上說(shuō)是一份食品 的存庫(kù)清單。這樣說(shuō)來(lái)，未來(lái)冰箱的信息系統(tǒng)可對(duì)所有食材進(jìn)行排列組合，用有限 的原料做出許多不同的菜肴，而成功執(zhí)行這一程序的關(guān)鍵就在于對(duì)庫(kù)存的精確跟進(jìn)。
