A -- MULTI-MODAL DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROL SYSTEM SOL LAUR-99-6288 DUE 123099 POC David J. Salazar, Licensing Executive, Los Alamos National Laboratory, (505)665-6697 or email davidj@lanl.gov E-MAIL: davidj@lanl.gov, davidj@lanl.gov. The University of California, which operates the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under contract to the Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining LANL license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market: MULTI-MODAL DATA ACQUISITION AND CONTROL SYSTEM M87, hereinafter referred to as "Technology". The Technology involves a single board data acquisition system with a PCI host interface. It provides high throughput rates (132 to 528 Mbps), allowing efficient access to data. The Technology significantly outperforms currently available data acquisition and control solutions by providing increased system performance, the ability to synchronize data, a real-time display, as well as data analysis, data archiving, and high level processing. The Technology can control several different kinds of CCD cameras, and allows user defined pixel areas. Simultaneously, it can efficiently acquire different data input channels at different rates, and can control a variety of different types of hardware. CCD images are acquired at 1k to 10k fps, and up to 65,000 separate analog input channels are digitized at an aggregate rate of 30 MSPS. The Technology performs complex digital I/O functions with a granularity of 15ns for controlling the CCD camera or other hardware. Although the Technology was developed for LANL programs, it can be adapted easily to any environment. For example, it can acquire and control video images of electrophysiological data, medical diagnostic practices, and industrial processes, while monitoring other data points associated with the particular application. In fact, it could be used anywhere video or process data is to be imaged, monitored or controlled. An important aspect of the Technology is its low cost and minimal component count compared to existing solutions. LANL desires to license this patent disclosure to at least one instrument supplier who will manufacture, distribute and maintain the device. Interested organizations must demonstrate prior professional experience in the fields of data control and acquisition instrument manufacturing, system integration and maintenance. Evidence of related inventions, products, services and/or publications must be provided. Any organization interested in licensing the above mentioned Technology must respond with a statement of intent describing the organization's technical expertise, manufacturing and marketing capabilities, financial resources (e.g., annual report or corporate resume) and commercial motivation. Upon receipt of a licensee applicant statement, LANL may determine whether applicant(s) will be selected for license negotiations. A business or product commercialization plan may be required prior to licensee(s) selection and negotiation. The statement of intent to license is requested to be submitted by COB December 30, 1999.
