Description

UT-Battelle LLC (UT-Battelle), the management and operating contractor for the United States Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), is seeking expressions of interest from companies interested in licensing and commercializing ORNL's intellectual property in the technology area of aerosol beam-focus laser-induced plasma spectrometry. ORNL has developed a field-portable prototype instrument for continuous in situ measurement of trace elements associated with airborne particulate matter or aerosols (U.S. Patent Number 6,359,687). This instrument involves the coupling of an aerosol technology, aerosol beam focusing, to a laser-induced plasma spectrometer to enable the development of a high-precision miniaturized system capable of detecting the elemental composition of aerosols at levels several folds lower than previously accomplished by researchers and academia around the world. The technology transfer process will be facilitated through appropriate licensing of UT-Battelle's intellectual property and associated research and development undertaken cooperatively between UT-Battelle and the licensee and funded by the licensee. Research and development will focus on transitioning the technology from the current laboratory demonstration stage to commercialization. Interested companies with experience and expertise commensurate with the requirements of this commercialization effort are invited to respond to this announcement. Companies interested in this opportunity may obtain more detailed technical information and a description of the licensing and cooperative research and development process by submitting a statement of interest, including a written description of their company and its activities and an explanation of their potential application of the technology. Expression of interest should be received by May 10, 2002. No licensing intermediaries please. This is not a procurement activity. www.ornl.gov/technology_transfer/
