- Description
- NASA�s Technology Transfer Program 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: Innovators at NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed advanced hydrogen and hydrocarbon gas sensors capable of detecting leaks, monitoring emissions, and providing in situ measurements of gas composition and pressure.� These compact, rugged sensors can be used to optimize combustion and lower emissions and are designed to withstand harsh, high temperature environments.� Some of the sensors, based on silicon carbide, can operate at 600�C.� NASA Glenn is actively seeking industrial partners to develop and apply these cutting-edge sensors cooperatively in new applications. In conjunction with academia and industry, NASA's Glenn Research Center has developed a range of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based and Silicon Carbide (SiC)-based microsensor technologies that are well-suited for many applications.� The suite of technologies includes hydrogen and hydrocarbon leak detection sensors; emissions sensor arrays; and high-temperature contact pads for wire bond connections. Currently used to protect astronauts on the International Space Station, the hydrogen and leak detection sensors have many Earth-based applications as well.� They can function as a single-sensor unit or as part of a complete smart sensor system that includes multiple sensors, signal conditioning, power, and telemetry.� The system can comprise sensors for hydrogen, hydrocarbons, oxygen, temperature, and pressure.� The emissions sensor array features a gas-sensing structure that detects various combustion emission species (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides) over a wide range of concentrations.� In addition, the emissions sensor array remains highly sensitive and stable while providing gas detection at temperatures ranging from 450 to 600�C.� These new sensors provide a combination of responsiveness and durability that offers great value for a wide range of applications and industries. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA�s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/LEW-TOPS-112 If you have any questions, please contact NASA Glenn�s Technology Transfer Office at grc-techtransfer@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information.� For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA�s Technology Transfer Program 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.��No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
