...does not transmit medical information to Harvard's disciplinary authorities. Dr. Farnsworth reiterated. He insisted that the confidential nature of the doctor-patient relationship is maintained in this area...
...crablike stabile Le Guichet (The Ticket Window) in the plaza of Manhattan's Lincoln Center. "I don't see the beauty of it," sniffed one worker. Neither had City Parks Commissioner Newbold Morris, who tried to veto the Calder stabile last spring because "art is supposed to transmit thought. Unless it does, I don't get it." But the art certainly transmits Calder, and he ventured the thought that his vertically planed piece was a lot more "pigeon-proof" than the giant Reclining Figure by Henry Moore, installed in a reflecting pool near by. "Poor Henry," said...
...containers to carry rock samples back to earth. Under an $88,000 contract, Martin is also making lunar tools, including a lightweight geological hammer, a hand lens and a scale to weigh rocks in the light gravity. Westinghouse is spending $4,800,000 to make tiny TV cameras to transmit live pictures of exploration back to earth. To shelter the moon explorers, Lockheed is planning surface living quarters in sausage-shaped tanks, and General Electric is working on an extensive underground base that would be blasted out of the moon's depths...
...traffic-jam trauma is under attack. For example, Detroit's John C. Lodge Expressway is testing an ingenious control system. Fourteen TV cameras, mounted on bridges over a particularly congested three-mile stretch, transmit pictures of cars to a 14-screen big-brother console near by. Technicians at the console can zoom in their lenses for closeup shots of any single suspicious vehicle; on several occasions they have watched on television while a smashup or a breakdown occurs. Then they call a policeman and throw switches that change speed-limit signs, block ramps, and turn...
Computers on Earth digested the pictures, digit by digit, and "developed" them by translating the numerical values into the correct shades of light to be projected onto a photographic film. All told, Mariner was programmed to take and transmit up to 21 such pictures of Mars. But excited Mariner engineers could not wait for the first transmission to be completed before they sneaked their first look. They processed the half picture received by the Johannesburg and Madrid tracking stations even before Goldstone, which had taken over tracking when the others lost contact, could supply its half of the tape...
