NASA ROBOT 'BRAIN SURGEON' TO VISIT NEW YORK CONVENTION

     A revolutionary new NASA robotic device, developed at the 
Ames Research Center, Mountain View, CA, that could help 
surgeons avoid dangerous hemorrhaging during delicate brain 
operations, will be unveiled at the Medical Design and 
Manufacturing Show, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New 
York, NY, June 3-5.  The device also could lead to "smart" 
surgical tools that will increase the safety, accuracy, and 
efficiency of neurosurgical, exploratory surgical and breast 
and prostate cancer surgical procedures.  Many more NASA 
medical innovations also will be featured at booth 941.

and other NASA inventions can be obtained by calling 1-800-678-
