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: This advanced fiber optic sensing innovation developed at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center offers a unique combination of high-resolution processing and flexibility. The algorithm was originally developed to enhance Armstrong's multi-patented Fiber Optic Sensing System (FOSS). With over 2,000 sensors per fiber, FOSS enables thousands of high-resolution measurements at once, including strain, shape, temperature, pressure, and more. The new adaptive spatial resolution innovation allows users to specify resolution and accuracy requirements. By making it possible to optimize data transmission bandwidth and adjust processing to minimize extraneous computations, this technology effectively provides the right resolution in the right place at the right time. This new capability opens up myriad new applications for fiber optic sensing systems, including in civil engineering, transportation, oil and gas, medical, aerospace, and many more industries.
