Government Owned Inventions Available for Licensing
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Government Owned Inventions Available for Licensing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The inventions listed below are owned by the U.S. Government,
as represented by the Department of Commerce, and are available for
licensing in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 207 and 37 CFR Part 404 to
achieve expeditious commercialization of results of federally funded
research and development.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Technical and licensing information on
these inventions may be obtained by writing to: Marcia Salkeld,
National Institute of Standards and Technology, Office of Technology
Partnerships, Physics Building, Room B-256, Gaithersburg, MD 20899; Fax
301-869-2751. Any request for information should include the NIST
Docket No. and Title for the relevant invention as indicated below.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The inventions available for licensing are:
NIST Docket No. 93-044
Title: Anti-Ferromagnetically Coupled Double-Layer Magnetic Force
Microscope Probe.
Description: The magnetic force microscope probe of this invention
features two magnetic layers separated by a nonmagnetic layer. The
magnetic layers are preferably of different thicknesses and are
strongly anti-ferromagnetically coupled. This configuration provides
uniform magnetization and small stray magnetic fields.
NIST Docket No. 93-064
Title: Atomic Force Microscope Using Piezoelectric Detection.
Description: This atomic force microscope, using piezoelectric
detection, determines surface properties of insulator and conductor
samples without the snap-in related errors common to cantilever probe
mounts.
NIST Docket No. 94-009
Title: Coupling Apparatus for Multimode Infrared Detectors.
Description: NIST researchers have invented an optical coupling
device that is useful in infrared (IR) laboratory instrumentation and
industrial process control. The invention combines two existing IR
optical coupling devices in such a way as to overcome their individual
deficiencies.
NIST Docket No. 94-039
Title: Infrared Neutral-Density Filter Having Copper Alloy Film.
Description: The infrared neutral-density optical filter of this
invention has a film consisting essentially of copper and nickel,
preferably using the alloy Constantan, on a dielectric substrate. The
filter achieves a high optical density with a low spectral variation.
NIST Docket No. 95-011
Title: Non-Destructive Method for Determining the Extent of Cure of
a Polymerizing Material and the Solidification of a Thermoplastic
Polymer Based on Wavelength Shift of Fluorescence.
Description: This NIST invention uses the change in the peak
fluorescence wavelength of a small amount of a fluorescent compound, a
fluorophore,
[[Page 62393]]
which has been dissolved in a polymerizing material or a thermoplastic
polymer to determine non-destructively the extent of cure or
solidification, respectively. Fluorophores can also be immobilized on
the surface of the optic fiber probe window in lieu of being added to
the polymerizing material. The invention also identifies a new class of
suitable fluorophores.
