10、nology to remotely monitor heart rates isnt new.These days most smartwatches and fitness trackers are capable of it.The good thing here is that researchers have figured out a way to use the microphones in smart speakers to do it without requiring physical contact.In a study published inCommunication
11、s Biology,the researchers had the smart speakers send out signals that couldnt be heard which were then reflected off a persons body.They then analyzed these signals to identify small chest wall motions related to heartbeats,as well as separate those signals from surrounding noise and breathing.For
12、this particular proof of concept setup,the researchers tested this smart speaker on 26 healthy participants and 24 hospitalized patients with various heart conditions,including atrial fibrillation（心房颤动）and heart failure.In both cases,the smart speaker was within 28-30 milliseconds of an ECG（心电图）,the
13、 gold standard used in hospitals to discover arrhythmia（心律不齐）.Like smartwatches with advanced heart features,using smart speakers in this way opens up the possibility for passive,remote heart monitoring.ECGs,while highly accurate,require a visit to the doctor and several electrodes（电极）to be placed o
14、n the body.They,re not capable of continuous monitoring so youre limited to what it picks up at that exact moment in time one reason why heart arrhythmia can be so hard to discover.Smartwatches are capable of passive,remote,continuous monitoring,but they require you to wear the device at all times t
15、o be effective.Its not something thats comfortable for everyone,especially when it comes to sleep and for those with highly sensitive skin.Another issue is that these advanced smartwatches are expensive,while smart speakers are much cheaper.“If you have a device like this,you can monitor a patient o

29、 is made of a material that makes it nearly invisible underwater.Every year,hundreds of thousands of seabirds die when they get caught in gillnets.Some estimates suggest that up to a half-million birds are caught in them each year.Over the years,researchers have created devices（装置）to prevent the bir
30、ds from trying to catch fish near or in gillnets,but those didnt work well.To find a way that would work for all seabirds,the researchers first studied seabirds in a general sense,looking to find things that they would avoid.They noted that seabirds avoided eye contact with other creatures.Then the
31、researchers came up with a simple ideathey put a small pole to a regular buoy and then attached a pair of googly eyes（金鱼眼）to the top of it.They made the eyes big enough so that even birds with poor eyesight,such as geese,would see them.Adding to the effectiveness of the device,waves made the eyes mo
32、ve back and forth.And the wind made the buoy spin very slowly,making sure that birds from every direction would get a good look at the eyes.To test their idea,the researchers selected several sites near gillnets and counted how many birds approached and how many attempted to catch fish near the nets
33、.They then set up their googly-eyed buoys and once again counted birds.Over the course of 62 days,they found the number of birds that tried to catch fish near the gillnets dropped by approximately 25%for a distance of up to 50 meters.They also found that the birds were less likely to fish near where
