The fields of use may be limited to portable devices (excluding devices composed of threads, fabrics, textiles, and/or paper) for Human Performance (HP) measurement of body density (limited to body fat, muscle density, and bone density); body mechanics (limited to motion analysis, posture, and balance); physiological responses to physical activity, and energy usage (limited to lactic acid, blood glucose, blood oxygen, hydration, and electrolyte balance).

DATES:

The prospective partially exclusive license may be granted unless, within fifteen (15) days from the date of this published notice, NASA receives written objections including evidence and argument that establish that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements regarding the licensing of federally owned inventions as set forth in the Bayh-Dole Act and implementing regulations. Competing applications completed and received by NASA within fifteen (15) days of the date of this published notice will also be treated as objections to the grant of the contemplated partially exclusive license. Objections submitted in response to this notice will not be made available to the public for inspection and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act.

ADDRESSES:

Objections relating to the prospective license may be submitted to Patent Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel, NASA Langley Research Center, MS 30, Hampton, Virginia 23681. Phone [phone]. Facsimile [phone].
