SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract of Patent Application(s)

    A reversible electrochemical mirror is disclosed. The reversible 
electrochemical mirror includes a layer of transparent conducting oxide 
(TCO), a cation exchange membrane disposed on the layer of TCO, and a 
mesh layer which may include silver disposed on the cation exchange 
membrane. The mirror also includes a voltage source connected to the 
TCO layer and the mesh layer, the voltage source being configured to 
electrochemically deposit and dissolve silver on the TCO. A method of 
reversibly controlling reflectance and transmission of a mirror and a 
method for forming a reversible electrochemical mirror are disclosed.

Intellectual Property

    International Application No. PCT/US22/77021, filed 26 September 
2022 and entitled Reversible Electrochemical Mirror using Catio 
Conducting Membrane.
    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.
