- 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: NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed a groundbreaking method for using shape memory alloys (SMAs) to split apart rock formations without explosives or hydraulics. Conventional approaches present difficulties in transportation and operation and can badly damage underlying samples during use. Glenns innovation exploits cutting-edge SMA compositions to deliver controllable stresses in excess of 1500 megapascals (MPa), which is up to four times greater than the force exerted by commercial equiatomic SMAs. The SMA compositions are also tunable to multiple activation temperatures up to 400�C, depending on the usage environments. Glenns Shape Memory Alloy Rock Splitters (SMARS) device generates this power without any demolition damage to the surrounding environment, and in a package that combines reliability, ease of setup and activation, and cost-effectiveness. This technology could prove invaluable to enterprises as varied as oil drilling, mining, civil engineering, fossil collection, and search-and-rescue operations - any field that requires compact, but large, static forces. 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-122 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA�s Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this SAM.gov 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.
