liberty

3
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:18,720
a tiny laser that unclogs arteries

4
00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:21,119
and for the disabled a vehicle control

5
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:23,279
system like the lunar rovers

6
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:25,199
these are just a few of many products

7
00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:31,750
this eye testing device in use at a

8
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:34,079
kinder care learning center has recently

9
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,000
been developed by the medical sciences

10
00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:38,719
corporation in wadaway alabama

11
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,040
called the ocular screening system it is

12
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:43,440
based on technology used by nasa's

13
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:44,960
marshall space flight center in

14
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:47,760
huntsville alabama to analyze pictures

15
00:00:53,430 --> 00:00:50,160
like this one of the sun taken during

16
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,440
skylab missions in the early 1970s

17
00:00:58,069 --> 00:00:55,680
ocular screening provides a simple

18
00:01:00,150 --> 00:00:58,079
reliable way to detect eye problems in

19
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:00,160
young children problems which could be

20
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:03,039
incurable if not treated early

21
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:05,040
the pictures produced by the system look

22
00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:08,240
like this a totally red eye is healthy

23
00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:10,159
white crescents or other variations

24
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,200
indicate problems eight to ten percent

25
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,360
of the children tested so far have been

26
00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:17,600
found to have serious eye diseases or

27
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:20,000
abnormalities according to kinder care

28
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:23,439
educational specialist jenny folsom

29
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:26,080
with young children it's virtually

30
00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:28,159
impossible to be able to tell you that

31
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:30,720
something is wrong but uh this technique

32
00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:32,720
is so innovative in that even our

33
00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:34,320
infants can

34
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:36,479
focus at the camera and the photograph

35
00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:39,280
will display any defects that are

36
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:41,600
apparent there with no response from the

37
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:43,439
child required

38
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:44,960
and how do the kids feel about the

39
00:01:47,429 --> 00:01:45,920
testing

40
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:47,439
it's just like you're having your

41
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:52,710
nasa technology is making an impact in

42
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:54,720
another area as well

43
00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:57,280
more accurately it's absorbing impact

44
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:00,240
and a new line of running shoes

45
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:03,040
running's popularity continues to grow

46
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:05,360
and the constant pounding can be broken

47
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:11,670
to help soften the blow the kangaroo

48
00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:13,760
shoe company headquartered in st louis

49
00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:16,239
missouri has developed a running shoe

50
00:02:25,110 --> 00:02:18,879
that incorporates a nasa material like

51
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:27,510
this springy fibrous material is filled

52
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:29,760
with polyurethane and placed in the

53
00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:36,070
dr joseph hamill assistant professor and

54
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:37,760
director of biomechanics at the

55
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:40,080
university of massachusetts amherst

56
00:02:44,949 --> 00:02:42,640
specializes in testing running shoes

57
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:44,959
according to dr hamel dynacoil not only

58
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:47,760
absorbs shock very well it also helps

59
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,280
control side to side movement

60
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:53,599
the high speed video system he uses in

61
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:57,120
his labs helps illustrate this point

62
00:03:01,750 --> 00:02:59,200
when we run our feet don't just hit the

63
00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:01,760
ground and bounce straight back up

64
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:04,879
they hit roll over from outside to in

65
00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:07,360
then come back up again this is called

66
00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:08,560
pronation

67
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:11,599
if a foot over-pronates injury can occur

68
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:13,519
and until now no shoe had ever

69
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:16,720
controlled this motion so well

70
00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:18,400
what we're always seeking is um new

71
00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:20,879
materials and if nasa has them and they
