- Description
- NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Scientists at NASA Langley Research Center have developed an ultraviolet and infrared radiation sensor system that can operate in extreme heat environments. The system was originally developed to monitor temperature and radiation during spacecraft re-entry. Thus, the design is survivable in a vacuum and can withstand temperatures over 3,500 Fahrenheit. The sensor system is designed to measure wavelengths ranging from a low limit of 180 or 200 nanometers in the ultraviolet through the infrared region of the electromagnetic region. The sensor system employs a cone-shaped ceramic conduit that is tipped with a transparent, amorphous, high-melting temperature window with high toughness. In a spacecraft reentry application, the sensor window is designed to remain above an ablating heat shield and thus not collect char that would otherwise interfere with measurements. The window material is custom tailored for the specific application of the technology, but in general is designed with a high melt-point and to minimize char interference. NASA is seeking to license this technology commercially. US Patent 7,742,663. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to LaRC-PatentLicensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information. Please also provide the nature of your interest in the technology along with a brief background of your company. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at http://technology.nasa.gov/. These responses are provided to members of NASA Langley’s Office of Strategic Analysis and Business Development “OSACB” for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, OSACB will follow the required formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
