Jubilee Committee is revealing all its plans today, and freshmen who restart working themselves up for the Big Weekend in May can get it 6 p.m. tonight in the Union...
...odds are high against the occurrence of another hard start, NASA is not taking any chances. The rocket will be modified if it is still to be used as planned in the flight of Gemini 8. On that mission, Astronauts Neil Armstrong and David Scott are scheduled to restart the engine of an orbiting Agena after docking with it. Another backfire could destroy not only the Agena but Gemini 8 and its occupants as well...
...Johns Hopkins team did this in 1959, when it devised a system in which one rescuer does the mouth-to-mouth work while another puts his hands on the lower part of the victim's breastbone and presses down smartly, 60 to 80 times a minute, to restart the heart. All Baltimore fire and emergency crews use this method, and it has saved many lives...
...ward off delay if a more vital component should fail-something that cannot be so easily replaced-Bell engineers have built into the system many alternative ways for the central to restart itself after a few millionths of a second of hesitation. While testing these precautions recently, they made a disquieting discovery: the loyal and resourceful machine was using an emergency procedure that had not been programmed into it by human brains. Poking into the mazes of wires with their clumsy human hands, the engineers found one wire that had been connected accidentally to a terminal that led nowhere. Says...
...machines to restart a stopped heart have been devised on the West Coast. Both rely on the principle of pulsating pressure on the breastbone, thus avoiding the risks of penknife surgery and heart massage. One, built at the University of Oregon by Drs. Charles Dotter and Kurt Straube. is of model-T simplicity: an electric motor on a small table set up above the patient drives a plunger with a padded end that pounds the chest at a set speed up to 120 times a minute. It must be shut off as soon as a natural heartbeat returns, to avoid...
