99--TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY - A DURABLE REDUNDANT JOINT TO BUILDSTRUCTURES FROM SECTIONS OF COMPOSITE SANDWICH PANEL OR SHELL

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companiesinterested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market thefollowing technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basisand may include specific fields of use. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Langley has developed a new adhesively bonded joint concept for curved and flatpanel sandwich architectures. A woven preform, inserted into the seam between sandwichpanels, provides a larger total bonding area and multiple load paths for an improveddistribution of load through the joint. NASA is able to create structures by joiningsections of sandwich panels or curved shells. The new joint provides more durable loadtransfer and redundant load paths compared to current state-of-the-art adhesively bondedstrap joints.To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, ResearchTriangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic RelationshipsOffice (SRSO), 17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton,Virginia, E-mail: contact@example.gov, or phone: +1 (555) 000-0000. Please indicate thedate and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information.RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses areprovided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the SRO forthe purpose of promoting public awareness of our technology products, and conductingpreliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for futurelicensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, SRO willfollow the formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register as required. Nofollow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
