Portable kayak
便携皮划艇

A folding, portable, 18-kilogram “backpack” can be inflated (充气) into a kayak. The safe, lightweight ITIWIT X500 Kayak makes kayak racing, an extreme sport, accessible to the majority.
重18千克的便携式折叠“行李背包”充气后就变成了一艘皮划艇。这款安全、轻便的ITIWIT X500皮划艇令赛艇这项极限运动走进大众。

It consists of five “air chambers”, so even if two of them don’t work, the inflatable kayak will help passengers safely return to land.
这款皮划艇由五个“气囊”组成，因此即便其中两个无法正常工作，可充气皮划艇仍然可以安全地将乘客送回陆地。

This product, made by Decathlon, a French sports goods group, is currently the world’s “hardest” inflatable kayak. To solve long-standing problems in the kayak industry – from lack of durability to overall insufficient performance – the company applied a special metal processing technology to its product. The ITIWIT X500 Kayak’s V-shaped bottom makes this product long-lasting and tough.
这款由法国运动用品集团迪卡侬制造的产品是目前世界上“最坚固”的可充气皮划艇。为解决不耐用、整体性能不足等皮划艇产业内长期存在的问题，该公司在产品上应用了一种特殊的金属加工技术。ITIWIT X500皮划艇的V型底部设计能让产品耐用且牢固。

Quick coronavirus test machine
快速新冠检测仪

Nucleic acid testing could be faster in the future. KingFisher Apex, made by the Finnish tech company Thermo Fisher Scientific, can complete the extraction of 96 nucleic acid samples in just 15 minutes.
核酸检测的速度将来会变得更快。芬兰科技公司赛默飞世尔科技制造的KingFisher Apex全自动磁珠提取纯化系统能在短短15分钟内完成96个核酸样品提取。

The tester can purify nucleic acid and protein automatically to save researchers time spent on additional steps, significantly improving nucleic acid test efficiency. It adopts a unique technology to ensure that contaminants are removed from samples so as to improve the accuracy of test results.
这款检测仪能够自动提取核酸与蛋白质，节省研究人员进行额外步骤的时间，并极大地提高核酸检测效率。仪器使用了一种独特技术，从而确保样本中除去了污染物，提高检测结果的准确性。

Also, the system eliminates manual intervention. The risk of exposure to harmful re-agents or biological samples, such as blood, is greatly reduced for medical staff.
此外，该系统还消除了人工干预。医护人员接触有害试剂或者血液等生物样本的风险大大降低了。

Myopic prevention glasses
近视防控镜片

Here comes a lifesaver for teenagers with poor eyesight – a myopic control lens. Whether it’s a classroom blackboard or a tablet, an outdoor activity or a mobile phone game, the lens from Essilor, a French company, keeps the same control effect, with changeable viewing angles and constant visual clarity.
青少年近视的救星来了 —— 一款近视控制镜片。不论是面对教室黑板还是平板电脑，在户外活动还是玩手机游戏，来自法国公司依视路的这款镜片能够达到同样的控制效果，并且视角多变，视野清晰。

The lens can create a beam in front of the retina that will slow down the increase of the eye axis. Therefore, the development of myopia can be contained.
这款镜片能够在视网膜前形成光束带，减缓眼轴增长，从而达到减缓近视发展的效果。

“After more than two years of clinical research, the results show that the Stellest lens has an obvious effect on slowing down myopia progression in children,” said Lü Fan, a professor at Eye Optical Hospital Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University.
“经过两年多的临床研究，结果表明星趣控镜片对缓解儿童近视进展有比较明显的作用，”温州医科大学附属眼视光医院教授吕帆如此说道。
