A -- ADVANCED VIDEO SYSTEM FOR REMOTE CONTROL OPERATIONS SOL CBD101 DUE 061998 POC Paul Grahovac WEB: Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory Procurement Homepage, http://www.inel.gov/procurement/litco/index.html. E-MAIL: Paul Grahovac, pg2@inel.gov. ADVANCED VIDEO SYSTEM FOR REMOTE CONTROL OPERATIONS. Contact Mr. Paul Grahovac or Mr. Bill Inman. Potential technology development and licensing opportunity with Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies Company (LMITCO), the prime contractor for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). LMITCO has developed a new technology for use in complex video observation applications such as: medical procedures, deep-sea operations, manufacturing, movie and television production studios, hazardous material and unexploded ordinance handling, and military, space, and nuclear operations. Additional possible applications include security surveillance operations. Possible computer applications include Internet use, virtual enterprises, and distributed workforce environments. The system has been developed, tested and utilized in dismantling a nuclear reactor. It allows the technicians to observe and manipulate the remote environment without using their hands to operate the video cameras present there. This frees them to operate the manual controls for the remote operations equipment. The system eliminates the extensive manpower, training, and experience requirements for operating the difficult conventional video equipment controls. The system also (1) provides the critically needed depth perception lacking in conventional video technology and (2) gives operators the important ability to adjust their point of view to observe areas that are outside the direct viewing area as if standing to the side of a window and looking through it diagonally. LMITCO has filed a patent application on this system and is soliciting a written indication of interest from industry partners who would consider funding collaborative technology development and or entering into a license agreement for the purpose of developing and commercializing this technology. License terms will include an up-front licensing fee and a running royalty based on a percentage of sales. This is not an opportunity to provide goods or services to LMITCO or the Department of Energy. This Request for Interest will close to response 30 days after publication. Interested parties should send a description of their company and their ability to commercialize this technology to the address below.
