- 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: Advances in fiber optic shape sensing developed at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center are enabling the development of next-generation flexible aircraft wings that maximize structural efficiency and reduce weight, improving fuel efficiency. These same advances will help engineers design stronger bridges, buildings, ocean vessels, and more. Fast algorithms use distributed fiber optic wavelength data to determine shape deformation of large curved and flexible structures. Dramatically improving upon earlier two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) shape-sensing tools by tracking multiple orientation angles�displacement, twist, and rotation�at the same time, Armstrong's technology converts distributed surface strain data into deformed shapes that can be displayed and analyzed in real time. Developed to help NASA researchers characterize complex test articles and design new aerospace structures, the innovations also will be useful for multiple applications in the transportation, infrastructure, and medical industries. 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/DRC-TOPS-24 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.
