    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.
