Notice of Government Owned Inventions Available for Licensing

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Government Owned Inventions Available for Licensing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The inventions listed below are owned by the U.S. Government, 
as represented by the Department of Commerce, and are available for 
licensing in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 207 and 37 CFR Part 404 to 
achieve expeditious commercialization of results of federally funded 
research and development.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Technical and licensing information on 
these inventions may be obtained by writing to: Marcia Salkeld, 
National Institute of Standards and Technology, Office of Technology 
Commercialization, Physics Building, Room B-256, Gaithersburg, MD 
20899; Fax 301-869-2751. Any request for information should include the 
NIST Docket No. and Title for the relevant invention as indicated 
below.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The inventions available for licensing are:
NIST Docket No. 91-020CIP
    Title: Electrical Test Structure and Method for Measuring the 
Relative Locations of Conducting Features on an Insulating Substrate.
    Description: NIST researchers have invented a new electrical test 
structure to provide measurements of the separations of conducting 
features on an insulating substrate with uncertainties typically below 
10 nm. Measurement dynamic repeatability is nominally less than 1 nm. 
Absolute accuracy has been determined by comparing measurements of the 
same feature separations with those made by the NIST line-scale 
interferometer which has traceability to absolute length standards.
NIST Docket No. 92-013
    Title: Aerosol Mass Spectrometer.
    Description: The analysis of aerosol particle mass is important in 
a number of fields including chemical process control, air pollution 
analysis and ceramic powder production and use. Current devices used to 
classify aerosol particles do so based on size and then make some 
assumptions to estimate the weight. This new device is capable of 
classifying the particles according to specific weight and thereby 
particle mass.
NIST Docket No. 94-016
    Title: A Simple, Effective Method for Bonding to Mineralized Dental 
Tissue Using N-Phenyliminodiacetic Acid.
    Description: The wider applicability of conservative and preventive 
dentistry depends on the availability of simple, effective dental 
bonding procedures. Such dental adhesive systems have been developed 
based on N-phenyliminodiacetic acid, a unique amino acid with 
conditioning, cleansing and polymerization-initiating properties.
