AGENCY: U.S. Army Chemical and Biological Defense Command, DoD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with 37 CFR 404.6, announcement is made of the
availability of the following U.S. patents for non-exclusive,
exclusive, or partially exclusive licensing. All of the patents listed
below have been assigned to the United States of America as represented
by the Secretary of the Army, Washington, DC.
Title: Neural Network Computing System for Pattern Recognition of
Thermoluminescence Signature Spectra and Chemical Defense.
Description: The present invention is related to the use of neural
network computing system recognizing the thermoluminescence signature
spectra of chemical compounds and finds particular utility in the
recognition of nerve and blister agent compounds.
Patent Number: 5,631,469.
Issue Date: May 20, 1997.
Title: Competitor Primer Asymmetric Polymerase Chain Reaction.
Description: The present invention relates generally to the
detection of nucleic acid sequences by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
More particularly, this invention relates to a process for efficiently
producing single-stranded PCR products in an amount proportional to the
amount of a target nucleic acid sequence present in a sample being
analyzed.
Patent Number: 5,627,054.
Issue Date: May 6, 1997.
Title: Apparatus and Method for Measurement of Offgassing Rate.
Description: This invention relates generally to testing apparatus
and more particularly to test cells for measuring the offgasses emitted
from a test sample.
Patent Number: 5,606,111.
Issue Date: February 25, 1997.
Title: Focal Plane filtered Multispectral Multidetector Imager.
Description: This invention relates to a focal plane filtered
multispectral multidetector imager which can be used for target
acquisition and recognition and for the ability to detect and classify
chemical vapors or any target with a spectral signature.
Patent Number: 5,568.186.
Issue Date: October 22, 1996.
Title: Method for Testing the Toxicity of Chemicals Using
Hyperactivated Spermatozoa.
Description: This invention relates to a method for the in vitro
testing of chemicals to determine reproductive toxicity using
hyperactivated spermatozoa. In addition, a method is provided for the
in vitro production of rabbit spermatozoa of hyperactivated motility
useful in said testing.
Patent Number: 5,569,580.
Issue Date: October 29, 1996.
Title: Method for Determining Elongational Viscosity and Dynamic
Surface Tension in Liquid Solutions.
Description: This invention relates to methods and apparatus for
measuring and testing the physical properties of materials and more
particularly for measuring the elongational viscosity and dynamic
surface tension of liquid solutions.
Patent Number: 5,559,284.
Issue Date: September 24, 1996.
Title: Hermetically Sealable Reusable Container.
Description: This invention relates to a container having a
reusable hermetic seal. The container includes polished surfaces,
multiple O-rings and removable fasteners for preventing leaks of toxic
substances.
Patent Number: 5,560,511.
Issue Date: October 1, 1996.
Title: Remote Control Adaptor for a Detonator System.
Description: This invention relates to a device which converts the
demolition firing device into a remote control actuator. The object of
this invention is to permit modification of a demolition firing device
previously used only to set off blasting caps to remotely control smoke
generators or any other device or system.
Patent Number: 5,546,862.
Issue Date: August 20, 1996.
Title: Solid Fuel Ramjet Tubular Projectile.
Description: This invention relates generally to tubular
projectiles and more particularly to a solid fuel ramjet tubular
projectile comprising multiple longitudinal combustion chambers and an
inlet turbulence generator.
Patent Number: 5,544,586.
Issue Date: August 13, 1996.
Title: Method and Apparatus for Suspending Microparticles.
Description: This invention relates to the detection and
identification of micron-sized particles including liquids, biological
microorganisms, chemical particles and unknown analytes. It also
pertains to the construction of special particles for test or
manufacturing purposes.
Patent Number: 5,532,140.
Issue Date: July 2, 1996.
Title: Apparatus for Growing Microorganism Cultures.
Description: This invention relates to using a culture that
provides a continuous supply of nutrients and a continuous removal of
waste products so as to result in greater growth. At the same time the
cultures are formed on a surface such that they are isolated and easily
identified optically or by phage technique. Most importantly, however,
the different colonies can be easily removed by transferring them to
absorbent material.
Patent Number: 5,523,235.
Issue Date: June 4, 1996.
Title: On-The-Move Surface Sampling Head For A Mass Spectrometer.
Description: This invention relates to an on-the-move surface
sampling probe used in conjunction with a mass spectrometer for the
purpose of detecting chemical contaminated areas.
Patent Number: 5,517,026.
Issue Date: May 14, 1996.
Title: Method for Detection of Microorganisms.
Description: This invention relates to microorganism detection and
sorting systems.
Patent Number: 5,290,707.
Issue Date: March 1, 1994.
Title: Detection of Yersinia Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction.
Description: This invention relates to classification of
microorganisms, and more particularly to a comprehensive identification
scheme for pathogens.
