A -- THIN FILM FIBER OPTIC HYDROGEN AND TEMPERATURE SYSTEM POC Doug Rabold, Telephone (803) 725-4185 E-MAIL: click here to contact Doug Rabold via e-mail, douglas.rabold@srs.gov. This notice is being issued by Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina. The purpose of this notice is to determine public interest in licensing the Thin Film Fiber Optic Hydrogen and Temperature System. This system combines thin film, composite, and fiber optic technologies. The sensor system detects changes in the optical, or reflective, characteristics of thin film coatings at the end of a fiber optic cable. The absence of electrical current opens up two broad application areas: electromagnetic environments and explosive environments. The system produces trending data, provides positive verification that the sensor is operational, and is not corrupted by other gases or vapors. Respondents will receive a technology brief, further details on the patent, and instructions for preparing and submitting a business plan, an integral part of the licensing process. Please respond to this notice by April 30, 1999, and submit business plans by May 28, 1999. However, WSRC will accept inquiries and business plans at later dates if licensing opportunities remain available. Please contact Doug Rabold by telephone at 803-725-4185; by fax at 803-725-4988; by e-mail at douglas.rabold@srs.gov; or by U.S. Mail at Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Attn: Douglas Rabold, Building 773-41A, Aiken, SC 29808. This is not a request for a formal procurement; it is a request for expressions of interest in licensing only. Posted 04/05/99 (W-SN316176). (0095)
