A -- SOURCES SOUGHT FOR LICENSING OF TECHNOLOGY FOR MEASURING THERMAL EMISSIVITY DUE 040593 POC Point of Contact -- Karen Gordon, 703-704-2279 SOURCES SOUGHT FOR LICENSING OF TECHNOLOGY FOR MEASURING THERMAL EMISSIVITY The U.S. Army CECOM RDE Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate is soliciting interest in the licensing of technology for measuring thermal emissivity, patented in 1989 (Docket # 4,884,896). Currently, infrared sensors cannot measure actual surface temperature. Infrared sensors measure what is called "apparent" temperature. Actual temperature must be measured by direct contact with the surface of the material being measured. The technology offered here allows the measurement of surface emissivity, in order to translate apparent temperature into actual temperature. It is envisioned that this capability has applications in many areas that employ, or rely on radiation heat transfer: thermal imaging devices, biomedical instrumentation, materials research (aerospace, military and others), heat flow and temperature measuring devices, environmental/climate monitoring, physical security and surveillance. For technical information regarding this technology, contact Mr. Tom Conway of US Army Materiel Command, 5000 Eisenhower Avenue, ATTN: AMCRDA-TF, Alexandria, VA 22333-0001; (703) 617-9438, tconway@hqamc.army.mil or Ms. Karen Gordon of US Army Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Directorate, 10221 Burbeck Road, STE 430, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5806; (703) 704-2279 or email at kgordon@nvl.army.mil. at (703) 360-6376, tconway@hqamc.army.mil.
