SUMMARY: In accordance with 37 CFR 404.7(a)(1), announcement is made of
the availability for licensing of the following U.S. Patents for
nonexclusive, exclusive or partially exclusive licensing. All of the
patents listed below have been assigned to the United States
[[Page 26161]]
of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army, Washington, DC.
``Controlled Multi-Purpose Chemical Agent Vapor Generator System'',
U.S. Patent 5,728,927, Issued 17 Mar 98
A system for generating a chemical agent airstream for testing
chemical agent detection devices. The system includes subsystems for
generating the chemical agent airstream, a parallel subsystem for
generating an airstream for preconditioning the detection device and a
subsystem for generating an interferant airstream for further
determining the reliability of the detection device.
``Super Toxic Analytical Glove Box System'', U.S. Patent 5,730,765,
Issued 24 Mar 98
The field of the invention is the detection and analysis of toxic
matter. More particularly, the invention relates to a portable
analytical glove box system used to analyze highly toxic chemical
samples.
``Method of Measuring the Decomposition of a Gaseous Material Under
Controlled Temperature and Time Conditions'', U.S. Patent 5,719,323
issued 17 Feb 98
A method and apparatus for measuring the decomposition of a gaseous
material under controlled temperature and time conditions. The method
is particularly useful for testing the decomposition of pyrotechnic
compositions useful in grenades.
``Oxidative Detoxification of Phosphonothiolates and Phosphonothioic
Acids'', U.S. Patent 5,710,358 Issued 20 Jan 98
A method for detoxifying substituted and unsubstituted
phosphonothiolates and phosphonothioic acids.
``Panoramic Infrared-Imaging Spectroradiometer with Reverse Phase
Modulation Beam Broadcasting'', U.S. Patent 5,708,503, Issued 13 Jan 98
A spectroradiometer for analyzing chemicals located within a
panorama comprised of hyperboloid mirrors for directing light received
from the panorama through a collimator and via an interferometer to an
array of detectors, the signals from which are subjected to parallel
discrete Fourier transform and parallel spectra pattern recognition
systems. Transmissions of data is achieved by using an interferometer
having modulated photoelastic modulators positioned between linear
polarizers, directing laser light through the interferometer to the
hyperboloid mirrors and providing a receiver comprised of a linear
polarizer, a detector, a plurality of band pass amplifiers, and a
processor for recognizing the different patterns in the output of the
amplifier that result from rotating at least one of the photoelastic
modulators and polarizers to a different position.
``Thermite Destructive Device'', U.S. Patent 5,698,812, Issued 16 Dec
97
This invention relates to destructive devices using thermite
reactions and in particular concerns improved means of utilizing such
reactions in the destruction of metallic targets.
``Multifuel Combustion Engine and Use in Generating Obscurant Smoke'',
U.S. Patent 5,665,272, Issued 9 Sep 97
This invention pertains generally to the field of combustion
engines and more particularly to combustion engines capable of
operating on diverse fuels. In general, modifications are made to a
combustion engine so that it is capable of operating on diverse fuels
such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene.
``Frustum Layered Canister'', U.S. Patent 5,660,173, Issued 26 Aug 97
This invention is a design improvement of the cylindrical canister
or respirator filter that is used in conjunction with a gas mask for
individual protection against respiratory hazards. This invention
improved the problem of sacrificing protection time, against chemical
and biological warfare agents, for pressure drop, in canister design.
``Earth Monitoring Satellite System with Combined Infrared
Interferometry and Photopolarimetry for Chemical and Biological
Sensing'', U.S. Patent 5,659,391, Issued 19 Aug 97
Apparatus for remotely sensing chemical and biological material
which produces interferograms and scattergrams on an array of light
detectors, and provides a means for determining the distance between
the apparatus and an area under examination.
``Neural Network Computing System for Pattern Recognition of
Thermoluminescence Signature Spectra and Chemical Defense'', U.S.
Patent 5,631,469, Issued 20 May 97.
The present invention is related to the use of a neural network
computing system recognizing the thermoluminescence signature spectra
of chemical compounds and finds particular utility in the recognition
of nerve and blister agent compounds.
``Competitor Primer Asymmetric Polymerase Chain Reaction'', U.S. Patent
5,627,054, Issued 6 May 97
This invention relates generally to the detection of nucleic acid
sequences by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). More particularly, this
invention relates to a process for efficiently producing single-
stranded PCR products in an amount proportional to the amount of a
target nucleic acid sequence present in a sample being analyzed.
``Apparatus and Method for Measurement of Offgassing Rate'', U.S.
Patent 5,606,111, Issued 25 Feb 97
This invention relates generally to testing apparatus and more
particularly to test cells for measuring the offgasses emitted from a
test sample.
