United States - TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Enhanced Fabrication Improves Temperature Sensing in Cryogenic Humid Environments (DRC-TOPS-25)

Description

Added: Aug 28, 2019 1:58 pm

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:
 
Researchers at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center have developed a new manufacturing process that improves the ability of fiber optic sensing systems to measure temperature and liquid levels when operating in humid environments.  The process involves eliminating moisture from the optical fiber coating, then completing the sensor assembly within humidity-controlled conditions.  The resulting sensor hardware provides precise and accurate measurements even when operating in a humid environment.  Originally designed to monitor a rocket's cryogenic fuel levels in conjunction with NASA's patented Fiber Optic Sensing System (FOSS), this technology can be used in many industrial, food, and medical applications. 

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/DRC-TOPS-25

If you have any questions, please contact NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center's Technology Transfer Office at AFRC-TTO@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.
