8、ier said than done, of course.I didnt realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process （过程）that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes （样机）.By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was bom.

9、my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were gettingfurther and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different,
10、however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model with bags. No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides o

18、d. The gold was covered in a protective material. He says the particles attract cancer cells. Those cells are far more affected by lower levels of heat than healthy cells.Once the particles travel to and connect with the cells, they are heated with a laser. That destroys the cancer cells, but the he
19、althy ones around them live.The patient will be administered with these nano particles. Within a couple of hours, the patient will be treated with lasers, and then the patient can go home.So,there is no radioactivity. There is no harmful waste.

27、 robot react to them in the best way, we have developed a system where robots can work along with humans as humans do.”To successfully apply game theory to the interaction of a robot and its human users, the researchers had to overcome the problem that the robot cannot know the humans9intentions. Th
