SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract of Patent

    Personal hydration systems with cooling and/or warming capability, 
and the components thereof are disclosed. The personal hydration 
systems may include a liquid transport system for transporting cooling 
or heating fluid between a reservoir and a pad, which pad is configured 
for wearing adjacent to a wearer's body. A pump is provided for pumping 
the liquid through the system. A drinking tube is connected to the 
system for removing liquid from the system. Liquid can be removed from 
the system for drinking by sucking on the end of the drinking tube. A 
check valve is used to bypass the pump so the user will not have to 
suck the liquid through the pump. Alternatively, liquid can be removed 
by spraying the liquid out of the drinking tube using the power of the 
pump.

Intellectual Property

    U.S. Patent No. 11,717,074, issued on August 8, 2023, and entitled, 
``Personal Hydration System With Cooling or Warming Capability.''
    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 part 404.

Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
