- Description
- 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: NASA Marshall Space Flight Center has developed an innovative radio frequency (RF) power load that absorbs high-power RF in a reliable, safe, and cost-effective way.� Conventional, high-power RF power loads consist of a water-cooled carbon pile and are costly, are prone to failure, and require constant maintenance.� By simplifying the system and using a liquid electrolyte as the resistive element, a new NASA technology reduces test load expenses substantially and requires little to no maintenance.� Initially designed as a dummy load to replace the broadcast antenna during diagnostic testing, tuning, and installation while absorbing full transmitter power, the system can also be used as a reject load to dissipate wasted power in a high-power RF system caused by mismatched voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).� Both balanced and unbalanced system prototypes have been developed and tested as proof of concept and are scalable for any high-power RF application. 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/MFS-TOPS-30 If you have any questions, please contact Cory Efird, Project Coordinator, Marshall Space Flight Center at cory.efird@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.
