It was invented to help blind people to learn Braille, which is a special system for the blind to read by touching. Shaking motors (震动马达) are put on each finger of the glove. They can make different sounds to tell a user which letter he is touching. Recently, two British college students have invented another special glove for the blind. It can make the user feel small and quick movements. An ultrasonic sensor (超声波传感器) with a battery is put on the back of the glove. When the user wearing the glove is close to an object (物体), ultrasonic waves (超声波) from the glove are sent out. As soon as they hit the object in front, the waves will return to the glove. Then the waves cause the glove to shake. And the ultrasonic sensor makes different kinds of sounds. The sounds make the user know how far he is from the object.In the college invention competition, the two students got first prize and won 1,540 pounds. One of the designers said, “Now the ultrasonic sensor on the glove is quite large. We, re going to use the money to develop a smaller and lighter ultrasonic sensor.”26.

But who first put the beef in between pieces of bread and called it a hamburger? Three different cities in the United States all say that they were the first to invent Americas favorite food.Some people say that Fletcher Davis, from Athens, invented hamburgers. “Old Dave”, as people called him, was selling minced beef sandwiches in his lunch bar as early as the 1880s. Some years later, they say that a group of Germans called his sandwich a “hamburger” because people from the German city of Hamburg ate this kind of beef.Other people believe that the hamburger came from a different American city. Coincidentally, its name was also Hamburg. The Menches brothers were selling pork sandwiches at a fair in 1885, but when there was no more pork, they used minced beef and gave it a new name, the “hamburger”.The third possible inventor of the hamburger was Charlie Nagreen, also known as “Hamburger Charlie”, from Seymour.
