Space Work Provides Ideas for Public Use
NASA through its Office of Technology Utilization reports over 2,500 new ideas from a decade of space research with hundreds more under review for commercial use. Tech Briefs announce about two dozen innovations weekly, ranging from a Greenwich Mean Time dial to a tiny under skin radio transmitter for血 pressure and brain waves. Regional centers disseminate information to industry, universities, and the press as NASA teams work with hospitals and schools to apply aerospace findings to medical problems.
