an exclusive license in the United States to practice the inventions 
described and claimed in U.S. Patent No. 7,341,883 B2 entitled 
``Silicon Germanium Semiconductive Alloy and Method of Fabricating 
Same,'' U.S. Patent No. 7,514,726 B2 entitled ``Graded Index Silicon 
Germanium on Lattice Matched Silicon Germanium Semiconductive Alloy,'' 
U.S. Patent No. 7,558,371 B2 entitled ``Method of Generating X-Ray 
Diffraction Data for Integral Detection of Twin Defects in Super-
Hetero-Epitaxial Materials,'' U.S. Patent No. 7,906,358 B2 entitled 
``Epitaxial Growth of Cubic Crystalline Semiconductor Alloys on Basal 
Plane of Trigonal or Hexagonal Crystal,'' U.S. Patent Application No. 
12/254,134 entitled ``Hybrid Bandgap Engineering for Super-Hetero-
Epitaxial Semiconductor Materials, and Products Thereof,'' U.S. Patent 
Application No. 12/288,379 entitled ``Rhombohedral Cubic Semiconductor 
Materials on Trigonal Substrate with Single Crystal Properties and 
Devices Based on Such Materials,'' U.S. Patent No. 7,769,135 B2 
entitled ``X-ray Diffraction Wafer Mapping Method for Rhombohedral 
Super-Hetero-Epitaxy; and U.S. Patent Application No. 12/254,016 
entitled ``Thermoelectric Materials and Devices,'' to innoEpi 
Incorporated having its principal place of business in Santa Clara, 
California. The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned to 
the United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The prospective 
exclusive license will comply with the terms and conditions of 35 
U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.

available to the public for inspection and, to the extent permitted by 
law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 
U.S.C. 552.
