11月3日口譯文章：華為電話推出新功效:可當電子稱使
電話漸漸代替咱們生存中許多器械。而今朝遭到威逼的器械便是稱。
近期，華為推出了一款新電話。這款電話運用壓力感到屏，可稱出小器械的重量。而如今，iPhone 6s也將在其體系中推出相似功效的運用軟件。
Gravity運用法式運用3D觸摸技巧，可將稱重物的重量轉化為數據。而蘋果貌似對這個法式不感興致，謝絕在運用市肆中上線。
Gravity運用法式創立者為加州計劃師瑞恩•麥克勞德。曾在其博客中揭櫫了序言的成長進程。
將硬幣(25分面值)放在托盤上就能夠完成電話稱的校訂事情。校訂後，重量在0.8磅(385克)內的物品均可以用此軟件上稱重。
麥克勞德師長教師稱，托盤必弗成少。“由於咱們須要一個傳感物。放在電話屏上，像咱們的手指觸摸屏幕同樣。如許電話稱就成為了家居用品。家裏的小器械就能夠拿來稱了。”
“小托盤完善地辦理了題目的關鍵。”
在演示視頻中，此運用法式事前用插頭和硬幣等小器械調試，使其表現數據為100克。
100克重量的稍微偏差為0.283克。對付一款不以“稱”為計劃理念的運用軟件而言，這個數據已很準確了。
9月29日麥克勞德師長教師將此運用法式推舉給蘋果運用市肆。然則，10月7日，蘋果謝絕此軟件上線。緣故原由是“稱重軟件的理念不適當。”
麥克勞德還推想緣故原由多是，稱量物品大概會破壞表現屏。但仍願望蘋果轉變主張。
“對蘋果挑選高質量運用軟件所持有的可觀立場咱們深表敬意，並等待上線別的3D觸摸類軟件。但仍願望Gravity成為一款觸手可及、婦孺皆知、可裝在口袋裏的蘋果體系軟件。”
在本年柏林召開的IFA集會上，華為宣告其Mate S系列電話也配備有內置壓力墊。
除支撐多款運用法式和選取，此表現屏經數據折換後可作為一款電子稱，乃至曾用來稱一個橘子的重量。

Phones are gradually replacing a large number of everyday items and the latest household gadget under threat is the weighing scale.
Huawei recently unveiled a phone that can be used to weigh small objects thanks to its pressure-sensitive screen, and now an app promises to add the same feature to the iPhone 6s.
Called Gravity, the app uses the handset's 3D Touch technology to turn the display into a scale, but Apple doesn't appear to be a fan of the app and has rejected it from the store.
Gravity was created by California-based design engineer Ryan McLeod who posted a blog about the development process on Medium.
It can be calibrated using quarter coins placed on a spoon and once calibrated, objects up to 0.8lbs (385g) can be weighed.
The spoon is necessary because, as Mr McLeod explained: 'We needed an object that was conductive, had finger-like capacitance, formed a single finger-like touch point, was a household item, and could hold items to be weighed.
'A spoon was the perfect solution we had been looking for.'
In a demonstration video, the app is shown being calibrated before a 100g weight, a US plug and coins are placed on the spoon.
The measurement for the 100g weight is shown as being slightly out - by 0.283g - but this is still remarkably accurate for a device not designed primarily as a weighing scale.
Mr McLeod submitted the app to the Apple App Store on 29 September, but it was rejected on 7 October because 'the concept of a scale app was not appropriate'.
He also speculated that the reason may be because weighing items using the screen could damage the display and is hoping Apple changes its mind.
'We have a strong respect for the subjective process Apple uses to maintain a selection of high quality apps and look forward to seeing other creative uses of 3D Touch, but do hope for a day when Gravity can be one of the hand-picked, who-knew-a-phone-could-do-that-apps anyone can download on the App Store and have in their pocket,' he concluded.
At this year's IFA conference in Berlin, Huawei announced its Mate S handset also has pressure pads built into the screen.
In addition to being able to control different apps and options, this screen was shown doubling up as a digital scale - and was even used to weigh an orange at the event.
