having its principal place of business in Minnesota City, MN. The 
fields of use may be limited to portable devices (excluding devices 
composed of threads, fabrics, textiles, and/or paper) for Human 
Performance (HP) measurement of body density (limited to body fat, 
muscle density, and bone density); body mechanics (limited to motion 
analysis, posture, and balance); physiological responses to physical 
activity, and energy usage (limited to lactic acid, blood glucose, 
blood oxygen, hydration, and electrolyte balance).

DATES: The prospective partially exclusive license may be granted 
unless, within fifteen (15) days from the date of this published 
notice, NASA receives written objections including evidence and 
argument that establish that the grant of the license would not be 
consistent with the requirements regarding the licensing of federally 
owned inventions as set forth in the Bayh-Dole Act and implementing 
regulations. Competing applications completed and received by NASA 
within fifteen (15) days of the date of this published notice will also

exclusive license. Objections submitted in response to this notice will 
not be made available to the public for inspection and, to the extent 
permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information 
Act.

ADDRESSES: Objections relating to the prospective license may be 
submitted to Patent Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel, NASA Langley 
Research Center, MS 30, Hampton, Virginia 23681. Phone (757) 864-3221. 
Facsimile (757) 864-9190.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robin W. Edwards, Patent Counsel, 
Office of Chief Counsel, NASA Langley Research Center, MS 30, Hampton, 
Virginia 23681. Phone (757) 864-3221. Facsimile (757) 864-9190.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is issued in accordance with 35
