Availability for Non-Exclusive, Exclusive, or Partially Exclusive 
Licensing of U.S. Patent Concerning System and Method for Rapid 
Dissemination of Image Products

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, 
announcement is made of the availability for licensing of the invention 
set forth in U.S. Patent No. 9,106,715 titled ``System and Method for 
Rapid Dissemination of Image Products,'' issued on August 11, 2015. The 
United States Government, as represented by the Secretary of the Army, 
has rights in this invention.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Joan Gilsdorf, Patent Attorney, 
SDMC-JA, Bldg. 5220, Von Braun Complex, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898, 
email: [email protected] (256) 955-3213.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The invention pertains to rapid 
dissemination of image products. A data consumer display device sends a 
geospatial request for a map image of a specific area of interest to a 
rapid image distribution system (RIDS), which forwards the request to a 
sensor ground station. The sensor ground station processes data 
received from a sensor platform and sends the processed data to a 
georectification processor. The georectification processor creates 
georectified data and sends the georectified data to the RIDS, which 
further processes the data, exposing it to data consumers using network 
optimized data services (e.g., KML/KMZ, TMS, GeoRSS, image chipper) 
based on geographic coordinates provided in the query that is a smaller 
subset of the sensor data. The RIDS sends the image product to the data 
consumer display device for display.
