NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest 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. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Langley has a new technique for analyzing velocity components, temperature, and density of supersonic and hypersonic aerodynamic and combustion flows. By combining a unique direct view, signal-enhanced interferometric system with Rayleigh scattering detection, the NASA velocimeter can instantaneously measure two orthogonal flow velocity components with high temporal and spatial resolution. By detecting the Doppler shift of Rayleigh effects within the flow, the NASA approachunlike commercial Doppler velocimetry systemsdoes not require particle seeding, enabling a simpler and improved measurement. The developmental and patent pending velocimetry system has been successfully demonstrated in a variety of prototype and advanced working systems in laboratory and wind tunnel facilities. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, Research Triangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic Relationships Office (SRSO), 17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton, Virginia, E-mail:
[email protected], or phone: 757-864-5055. Please indicate the date and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at http://technology.nasa.gov/. RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses are provided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the 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.
