- Description
- Opportunity: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its mechanical logic gates. Background: There is a need for passive sensors that can observe the environment for an extended period of time, then reliably respond to a specific state-change event.� While electronic sensors can accomplish these tasks, they tend to be large and require batteries, which eventually would run out of power.� To address this drawback, LLNL researchers have developed passive sensors that could monitor environmental conditions and register changes as they occur, without the need for electrical power. Description: LNL�s approach to designing logic gates uses heuristic as well as with the Freedom and Constraint Topologies (FACT) methods; these gates are then produced using existing additive manufacturing processes.� The 10,122,365 and 10,678,293 patents describe how to fabricate the gates; the 10,855,259 patent describes how the signals are propagated; and the 11,604,489 patent describes how the gates can carry out the logical AND operator. Advantages/Benefits:� Logic circuits with little or no electrical power source Negligible EM signature Potential Applications:� Long-term monitoring sensors in environments destructive to electronics Passive tags that confirm that a tagged item is in fact the original item, or if the item has moved/tampered Non-emitting sensors and computer systems that are difficult to detect Development Status:� Current stage of technology development:� TRL 2 LLNL has patent(s) on this invention: U.S. Patent No. 10,122,365 System and Method for Flexure-Based Microstructural Logic Gates published 11/6/2018 U.S. Patent No. 10,678,293 System for Mechanical Logic Based on Additively Manufacturable Micro-mechanical Logic Gates published 6/9/2020 U.S. Patent No. 10,855,259 Systems and Methods for Micromechanical Displacement-Based Logic Circuits published 12/1/2020 U.S. Patent No. 11,604,489 System and Method for Micromechanical Logical AND Gate published 3/14/2023 LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our licensees gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information.� Please visit the IPO website at https://ipo.llnl.gov/resources for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Note:� THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT.� Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's mechanical logic gates should provide an electronic OR written statement of interest, which includes the following: Company Name and address. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. A description of corporate expertise and/or facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Please provide a complete electronic OR written statement to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's mechanical logic gates. The subject heading in an email response should include the Notice ID and/or the title of LLNL�s Technology/Business Opportunity and directed to the Primary and Secondary Point of Contacts listed below. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Innovation and Partnerships Office P.O. Box 808, L-779 Livermore, CA� 94551-0808 Attention:�� IL-13156Plus
