First, parents to a newborn, Radhika and Bharath Patil, just like other parents with babies have faced disruptions in their sleep patterns. So, to find a solution to sooth their baby, and get better rest, they put their electrical engineering background to good use and built a smartcrib. The smartcrib is said to combine a baby monitor, rocker, bassinet and crib in one. Next story is about how Amazon is developing non-contact payment systems that could help retailers in these times where social distancing is required. Amazon is testing a palm-based detection system. Security level is similar to fingerprint scans, but palm scanning at a distance is more practical.原討論文章: https://www.15mins.today/blog/ep-983-about-technology-smart-crib-aims-to-help-rockabye-baby  Vocabulary and Sample sentences:Sth fly/go out the window ph. – something does not exist or disappeared Once you have a baby, your good night’s rest will go out the window.
