In Nepal, the two prototype FINDERs that arrived on April 29th (four days after the earthquake) detected the heartbeats of four men -- two each for two collapsed buildings. While NASA and Homeland Security already proved that it works, FINDER will still be demonstrated at the Virginia Task Force One Training Facility on May 7th. There, its creators will also announce that it's going to be commercialized and be available for purchase by various first responders around the globe.

As you've probably guessed, FINDER is another NASA spinoff, particularly of the agency's remote sensing technology. Many technologies the agency developed for space exploration helped advance invaluable and beneficial tech/tools over the years, such as the MRI, artificial limbs and robotic surgeons, among many, many other things.
