99--TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY LOW-NOISE EXIT GUIDE VANES FOR TURBOFANJET ENGINES

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA 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: Scientists at NASA Langley Research Center have developed guide vanes with a segmented outer shell with porous regions, which are connected to resonant chambers within the guide vane interior. The porous shell provides for communication of the acoustic/aerodynamic disturbances outside of the blade with the interior resonant chambers. The guide vane can contain a number of resonant chambers in order to mitigate noise generated over a range of selected frequencies. The technology is protected under US Patent #7,334,998. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to [email protected] with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information. Please also provide the nature of your interest in the technology along with a brief background of your company. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at http://technology.nasa.gov/ . These responses are provided to members of NASA Langleys Office of Strategic Analysis and Business Development OSACB 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. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, OSACB will follow the required formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
