SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Air Force intends to 
grant the exclusive patent license agreement for the invention 
described in: U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 63/109,883, entitled 
``Ice Detection and Precautionary System Shut-Down Event Reduction 
Systems and Related Methods'', filed November 5, 2020.
    Abstract of patent application: An ice detection and precautionary 
system shut-down event reduction system and related methods are 
provided. Embodiments include an ice detection sensor array positioned 
in proximity to a jet engine test cell inlet. The sensor array can 
include a plurality of ice detection sensor array sensors including 
ice, static pressure, total pressure, and temperature as well as a 
second set of sensors position in proximity with a jet engine air 
inlet, where the second set of sensors include another temperature, 
static pressure, and total pressure sensor. The embodiment further 
includes a control section that receives inputs from the sensor array 
sensors and second set of sensors and performs

[[Page 81456]]

comparisons of inputs from these sensors against each other and stored 
values to determine actual icing conditions then generate warnings on a 
display to an operator. The exemplary control section has multiple 
modes including manual, semi-manual and automatic.
    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed 
license.

Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
