NASA's Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, and Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan, announced they had concluded a two-year cooperative agreement for the transfer of NASA-developed technology to improve the design and engineering of Ford vehicles. This was the first broad technology transfer process between NASA and any automotive manufacturer. (NASA Release 94-166; H Post, Oct 7/94; CSM, Oct 13/94)
As an example of NASA's undertaking to transfer space technology to private industry a surgical instrument was cited. The device was an instrument designed to reduce the time required for surgeons to close sutures during abdominal endoscopic surgery.
