SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract of Patent

    Methods, architectures, mechanisms and/or apparatus configured to 
manufacture a component (and components manufactured thereby) by 
optimizing a location of an internal feature of the component to be 
manufactured using powder fusion additive manufacturing (PFAM) based on 
an energy release rate being proportional to the third derivative of a 
component shape function and the shape function itself; the internal 
feature comprising one or more cavities having unfused powder disposed 
therein to provide vibration dampening.

Intellectual Property

    U.S. Patent No. 11,305,352 by Onome Scott-Emuakpor et al. and 
entitled Powder fused components with unique internal structures for 
damping.
    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.
    Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404.

Tommy W. Lee,
Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
