The research of engineers at NASA's Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, was featured, together with its applications to industry. Specifically, pistons were discussed and the benefits of making them from car-bon instead of aluminum. NASA had "working agreements" with Ford, General Motors, lawn mower engine maker Briggs & Stratton Inc., and engine maker K&B Manufacturing Company, that would allow them to use Langley piston technology if they should decide to make the pistons.

NASA was among the agencies making presentations at the briefing on women's health sponsored by the Public Health Service and the Congressional Caucus on Women's Issues. Public Health Service officials predicted that high-contrast digital detectors would be capable in the next one or two years of finding breast cancers at early stages when they were still too small to be detected by today's radiology equipment. NASA and the National Cancer Institute were funding research that should produce the new detectors. (W Times, Oct 23/94)
