- Description
- UT-Battelle, LLC, acting under its Prime Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the management and operation of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), is seeking a commercialization partner(s) for a promising commercial invention entitled, "Automatic Refilling System Liquid Helium Cryogenics." Technology: This device uses components and software to help automatically refill cryostats making decisions based on software logic and hardware inputs and outputs to minimize neutron production time loss in the Spallation Neutron Source. At research facilities, scientist know that filling with liquid helium can be a challenge from filling every day or twice a day depending on the level of consumption of cryo-fluid, the type of cryostat or superconducting magnets. Some research facilities have established standardized procedures for such filing operations, whereas others do not; they rather maintain the cryostat systems on a more ad hoc basis. This invention addresses the problem and automates the process. Intellectual Property: Provisional Patent Application: 62/614,555 has been filed with the USPTO. How to license ORNL technologies: https://www.ornl.gov/partnerships/how-license-ornl-technologies https://www.ornl.gov/partnerships/licensing-guidelines https://www.ornl.gov/sites/default/files/license_application.pdf Lead Inventor: Mariano M Ruiz-Rodriguez, Data Acquisition Engineer, ORNL Email: ruizmm@ornl.gov If your company has interest in licensing this technology please contact the commercialization manager listed below: A response date of Nov. 15, 2018 is required for your application to be considered. If more than one prospective partner seeks an exclusive license in the same field of use, the licensing applications are scored to objectively identify the prospective licensee most capable of commercializing the technology.
