AI Contract Overview

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, managed by the University of California for the U.S. Department of Energy, is seeking a licensee to commercialize a Miniature X-ray Source technology. This device is notable for its millimeter-scale size, making it small enough for potential medical applications inside the human body, such as within arteries. It produces a broad range of X-ray energies (5-40 keV or higher) and incorporates innovative design features including high voltage operation in extremely compact dimensions, high vacuum in a tiny volume, and a miniature high voltage connector. The rugged device comprises a vacuum housing transparent to X-rays, high voltage feed-throughs, and electrodes, making it suitable for medical applications like arterial disease treatment, restenosis, cancer, as well as material analysis. The technology is patented under two U.S. patents, with some foreign rights available, indicating a protected and unique design that can enable further advancements in medical diagnostics and treatment. Interested companies must submit a written statement within 30 days detailing their corporate expertise, facilities, and contact information to be considered for licensing. This call is not a procurement opportunity but a licensing invitation to those capable of producing and marketing this innovative miniature X-ray source.

Full Description

LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY SEEKS LICENSEE TO PRODUCE A MINITURE X-RAY SOURCE Announcement: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), wants to license the technology to build a Miniature X-ray Source. Researchers at LLNL built a working Miniature X-ray Source having a millimeter scale size, which is small enough to fit into a human body (for example into an artery). The device can produce a broad spectrum of x-ray emissions over a broad range of energies (5-40 keV or higher). The devices? design features the following achievements: ? High voltage in extremely small dimensions (1 mm). ? High vacuum in extremely small volume (cubic mm). ? Extremely small high voltage connector. The Miniature X-ray Source has a number of potential medical applications. These applications include the following: ? Arterial disease ? Restenosis ? Cancer ? Material analysis The device consists of a vacuum housing which is highly transparent to x-rays, a high voltage feed-through, a high voltage connection, an anode, and a cathode (hot or cold). This unit features a rugged design and has practical potential for medical applications. The design of this device resulted in two U.S. Patents; 6,353,658 and 6,134,300. In addition, some foreign rights are available. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's Miniature X-ray Source should provide a written statement of interest, which includes the following: 1. Company Name and address. 2. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. 3. A description of corporate expertise and facilities relevant to commercializing the this technology. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization P.O. Box 808, L-795 Livermore, CA 94551-0808 Attention: FBO00005-03 Please provide your written statement within thirty (30) days from the date this announcement is published to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's Miniature X-ray Source.
