- Description
- Opportunity: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its in-situ electromagnetic diagnostics for real-time projectile characterization. Background: As additive manufacturing techniques become more and more sophisticated, in-situ diagnostics are becoming increasingly important to ensure optimal print performance.� Conventional methods uses high-speed cameras that acquire video during the entire printing, which result in huge video files that need to be processed.� Using a radio frequency (RF) device may significantly reduce in-situ diagnostic data and enable real-time processing. Description: LLNL�s novel approach is to use waveguide-based devices and microwave energy to perform characterization of the projectile or droplet.� Various embodiments of droplet devices can determine the size, motion (position, velocity, and acceleration), rate, and material elements of a moving element.� This invention uses a tubular housing having a first end (input port) and a second end (output port).� As a source of RF energy projects into the input port, a signal processing system detects the characteristics of a reflected RF signal.� LLNL researchers developed this technology for additive manufacturing, but it also has broad utility for the monitoring of projectiles in defense, agriculture, food, chemical, and manufacturing industries.� Advantages/Benefits:� Does not require huge amounts of video data Able to determine in-site characteristics of droplets while in motion without advance knowledge of the droplet dimensions. Not limited to non-metal projectiles or particles Potential Applications:� Droplet or inkjet-based additive manufacturing diagnostics Projectile diagnostics for defense applications Grain or seed characterization for agricultural applications Development Status:� Current stage of technology development:� TRL 3 LLNL has filed for patent protection on this invention. U.S. Patent Application No. 2021/0116473 SYSTEM AND METHOD USING IN-SITU ELECTROMAGNETIC DIAGNOSTIC FOR REAL-TIME PROJECTILE CHARACTERIZATION published 4/22/2021 LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our licensees gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information.� Please visit the IPO website at https://ipo.llnl.gov/resources for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Note:� THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT.� Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's in-situ electromagnetic diagnostics for real-time projectile characterization should provide an electronic OR written statement of interest, which includes the following: Company Name and address. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. A description of corporate expertise and/or facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Please provide a complete electronic OR written statement to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's in-situ electromagnetic diagnostics for real-time projectile characterization. The subject heading in an email response should include the Notice ID and/or the title of LLNL�s Technology/Business Opportunity and directed to the Primary and Secondary Point of Contacts listed below. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Innovation and Partnerships Office P.O. Box 808, L-779 Livermore, CA� 94551-0808 Attention:�� IL-13484
