The fields of use may be limited to emissions detection and quantification, gas and liquid flow rate measurement, compositional analysis, and quantification for hydrocarbons and other substances, including but not limited to H2 S, CO2 and SO2, associated with the oil, gas and waste management industries at the well bore and/or below grade cavern, and associated above ground facilities for each; and/or similar fields of use thereto.

    DATES:

    The prospective partially exclusive license may be granted unless NASA receives written objections, including evidence and argument no later than June 22, 2018 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 no later than June 22, 2018 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 (757) 864-3221. Facsimile (757) 864-9190.
