For the last couple of months I’ve been involved with a small group of students (David Burela, Edward Hooper, Dimaz Pramudya) in Melbourne to participate in Microsoft’s worldwide对于过去数月我已经涉及与一小群学生（朱burela ，何承天hooper ， dimaz pramudya ）在墨尔本参加在微软的全球 Imagine Cup畅想杯 Software Design contest for students and our hard work has finally paid off today when we were judged out of four finalists as the Australian Imagine Cup winner to compete at the world finals in France early July.软件设计竞赛的学生和我们的艰苦工作，终于支付了今天，当我们判断出4决赛，作为澳大利亚想象杯赛冠军竞争，在世界总决赛在法国7月上旬。
I’ve only had a couple of hours sleep today so I’ll just share with you briefly what our project is about.我已经只有几个小时的睡眠，所以今天我将与你分享简略什么我们的项目是有关。
SOAK which stands for “Smart Operational Agriculture toolKit” is an integrated hardware and softwares platform that aims to help farmers make the most of the water (and other) resources on their land.浸泡主张“智能业务的农业工具包”是一个集成的硬件和软件平台，旨在帮助农民，使大部分的水（和其他）的资源，在他们的土地上。 It does this through an integration of a wide range of sensors which gathers data about the environment in real time, provide rich visual information to end-user about the status of the farm, and electronically controls various systems such as sprinklers.它通过一个一体化的范围广泛的传感器搜集的数据对环境进行实时，提供了丰富的视觉信息到最终用户约地位的农场，和电子控制各种系统，如洒水。
None of the individual components are exceptionally revolutionary, but it’s the integration that we deliver that separates SOAK from other traditional systems.没有个别组成格外革命，但它的一体化，我们提供分隔浸泡从其他的传统系统。
For example by gathering online weather forecasts about the property, if the weather is predicted to rain in the next 48 hours and the current soil moisture is adequate till then, our system can conserve water usage by not watering before the rain falls.例如搜集在线天气预报有关的财产，如果天气，预计降雨，在未来48小时和当前土壤水分是足够的到，然后，我们的系统可以节约用水，使用不浇水前下雨。 Also as a precaution, is the rainfall is inadequate, the watering system will resume operations to compensate for the difference.此外，作为一项预防措施，是降雨量不足，灌溉系统将恢复作业，以弥补差额。
