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 Commercialization, 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. 90-026
Title: Novel Multifunctional Acrylates and the Synthesis Thereof.
Description: A new, facile synthetic technology developed at NIST
makes available a wide range of hydrophobic and hydrophilic
multifunctional acrylic monomers and oligomers that are not readily
available by other synthetic processes.
NIST Docket No. 93-003
Title: Method of Adhering Substrates.
Description: Two substrates can be joined together by exploiting
the natural attraction between acidic and basic molecules. A new acid-
base bonding technique developed at NIST permits strong (yet
reversible) adhesion without substantially altering material properties
near or across the interface.
NIST Docket No. 93-036
Title: Method of and Articles for Accurately Determining Relative
Positions of Lithographic Artifacts.
Description: In the 21st century, making a 4-gigabit computer chip
will require accurately stacking together many circuit layers with
nanometer-scale features. To help make such devices a reality, NIST
researchers have developed a procedure for measuring alignment flaws
smaller than 10 nanometers.
NIST Docket No. 93-054
Title: A Procedure for Digital Image Restoration.
Description: A fast procedure to improve the deblurring of images
incorporates a new type of a-priori constraint that sharply suppresses
noise contamination, is applicable in very diverse imaging contexts and
requires only a workstation-sized computer.
NIST Docket No. 93-060D
Title: High Speed Amplitude Variable Thrust Control.
Description: A new NIST invention provides a means of precisely and
rapidly varying the thrust produced by a high pressure fluid. The
control system uses a piezoelectric stack, displacement amplifier, and
high pressure axial valve assembly. A microprocessor (along with the
associated energy storage and power amplifier system) can change the
displacement of the piezoelectric stack in as little as ten
microseconds.
