- 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: Innovators at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) have developed a Magnetically Damped Check Valve for eliminating chatter in passive valve systems. At low flow rates, passive valves often chatter (i.e., slightly open and shut at some frequency). Check valves, for example, are designed for full-flow conditions but oftentimes experience much lower flow levels. Over time, this chatter mechanism can degrade if not destroy a valve and/or the overall system. Valve experts have employed other damping solutions over time to minimize chatter, but such attempts would only work under certain flow conditions. NASA's Magnetically Damped Check Valve eliminated chatter under all flow conditions tested. The invention is applicable to check valves, but could also benefit other systems using passive valves. 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-101 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.
