Notice of Government Owned Inventions Available for Licensing

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce.

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 Partnerships, Building 820, Room 213, 
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The inventions available for licensing are:

NIST Docket No. 95-006

    Title: Use of Pre-Ceramic Polymers in Fabrication of 
Interpenetrating Phase Composites.
    Description: Ceramic composites are formed by a low cost, 
moderate temperature sintering process using a pre-ceramic precursor 
which, upon heating, decomposes to form ``necks'' between individual 
ceramic particles. The properties of the resulting porous ceramic 
bodies can be further modified to form a new class of composite 
materials.

NIST Docket No. 95-048D

    Title: Methods For Welding Cryogenic Alloys.
    Description: To weld metal parts intended for exposure to 
cryogenic temperatures, an austenitic welding electrode of nickel, 
chromium, molybdenum, manganese, nitrogen, and iron in specified 
amounts is used. This alloy and welding method form a weld metal 
with a superior tearing modulus, fracture toughness, and yield 
strength at temperatures of about 77 K to as low as 4 K.
