- 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: Although many in the literature have assumed that BMI is something of a fluke data ordering parameter for health standards, others have thought that it was fundamentally a scaling parameter for overall metabolic rate excess. BMI scales with volume to surface ratio (VSR). The bigger the VSR, the greater the metabolic rate excess. Body Mass Index (BMI) can be directly related to human radiation inefficiency as measured by the volume to surface ratio (VSR). To calculate this measurement, a subjects waist circumference is recorded along with the traditional data of weight, height and gender. Additionally, a populations waist size is assumed to scale with height. Utilizing this scaling factor, data correction factors have been derived to calculate BMI based on relative waist size, relative percent body fat, and average external environmental temperature. A simple formula resulting from these relationships is formed for computing a corrected BMI. 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/GSC-TOPS-245 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA�s Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this SAM.gov 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.
