99--TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY MICRO LIDAR FOR FLOW VELOCIMETRY

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 developed a miniaturized light detection and ranging (LIDAR) velocimetry sensor to analyze high velocity and boundary layer flows in real-world conditions. Using Rayleigh scattering, as opposed to the more common particle scattering, the patent pending NASA sensors provide multiple flow parameters without the need for particle-seeded flows. The compact fiber optic sensor design can be embedded directly in a test surface and allows for a variety of near-surface measurement formats enabling real-time three-component flow velocity mapping, composition, gas density, and temperature data. The versatility of the NASA Micro-LIDAR sensor platform offers broad utility in advanced aerodynamic and fluid dynamic applications requiring boundary layer, unseeded flow measurements. 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. RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses are provided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the SRO for the purpose of promoting public awareness of our 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, SRO will follow the formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register as required. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
