A -- LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY SEEKS LICENSEES TO COMMERCIALIZE X-RAY SPECTRAL ANALYZERS UNDER US PATENT 5,777,336 SOL CBD98-004 DUE 090998 POC Not Applicable Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Seeks Licensees to Commercialize X-Ray Spectral Analyzers under US Patent 5,777,336. LLNL, operated by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) intends to license its recently issued US Patent 5,777,336. The technology covered by this patent pertains to cryogenic, broadband, high resolution X-ray spectral analyzers based on X-ray absorption and thermalization, and measurement of the deposited energy by microcalorimetry. Such detectors are expected to be able to produce x-ray spectra between 0.2 and 7 kev with a resolution of 7-10 ev at real time count rates to 50 Hz. License terms are expected to include license issue fees, minimum annual royalties, and running royalties based on sales. Parties interested in applying for a license should submit a written description of their capabilities and experience relevant to the field of the invention, and their plans for bringing the detectors to a point of practical application.
