A -- VIRTUALLY UNLIMITED AIRTIME, NON-RADIATING WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (INFICOMM) SOL LAUR-00-666-a DUE 042100 POC Laura Barber, Licensing Executive, Los Alamos National Laboratory, e-mail: ljbb@lanl.gov E-MAIL: ljbb@lanl.gov, ljbb@lanl.gov. This announcement is a modification of the Commerce Business Daily Notice that originally appeared on February 3, 2000. The purpose of this modification is to extend the deadline for submission of Letters of Intent. The University of California, which operates the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under contract to the Department of Energy, solicits expressions of interest from companies that would like to pursue exclusive or nonexclusive license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market specific fields of use for a new wireless communications system. The technology, entitled Virtually Unlimited Airtime, Non-Radiating Wireless Communications System (INFICOMM), is currently being developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory. The INFICOMM technology provides the following advantages: 1) An advanced wireless device, such as a cellular phone, that eliminates RF radiation exposure to its users, as generated by the cellular phone handset; 2) Extremely low battery power consumption resulting in essentially unlimited airtime; 3) Lower weight due to the reduced battery power requirements; 4) Reduced chance of spark discharges; and 5) Reduced hazardous waste generation from cell phone battery disposal. Key elements of the technology are in the process of being patented. Organizations interested in learning more about this technology and evaluating it for commercial applications may request a Non-Disclosure Agreement with LANL. Those organizations interested in licensing the INFICOMM technology or in partnering with Los Alamos National Laboratory to develop the INFICOMM technology for their specific application(s) must respond with a Letter of Intent. The Letter of Intent should briefly describe the organization's relevant technical expertise, manufacturing and marketing capabilities, commercial motivation, and willingness to support manufacturing operations in Northern New Mexico (if any). Depending upon the specific application(s) of this technology, a collaborative arrangement with LANL may be available to support the commercialization of this technology. For consideration, the Letter of Intent must contain the information requested above and must be postmarked no later than April 21, 2000. Subsequently, Los Alamos will formally invite those companies that provide a responsive Letter of Intent within the deadline, to submit additional information in the form of a Product Commercialization Plan. Such information will be used to evaluate and ultimately select the licensee(s) that will commercialize this technology. For questions or clarifications, contact Laura Barber, Licensing Executive, Los Alamos National Laboratory, e-mail: ljbb@lanl.gov. Posted 03/03/00 (W-SN430966). (0063)
