SLURRIES
Description:
SOL: 11760-E-12817-B

Pacific  Northwest  National  Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle =
Memorial
Institute under contract to the U.S.  Department of Energy, solicits  =
interest
from  companies  interested  in  obtaining  license  rights to  =
commercialize,
manufacture and market the following technology.  License rights may be =
issued
on an exclusive or nonexclusive  basis and may include specific fields =
of use.
PNNL may also be available to  licensee(s)  to assist in further  =
research and
development of the technology  under a sponsored  research  agreement or =
CRADA
program. =20

The technology is a versatile,  non-invasive, on-line, and accurate =
method and
apparatus for measuring the viscosity and other physical properties of =
liquids
and slurries  flowing in pipes or other  conduits.  The technology is =
based on
combined  spatially-resolved  ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry and =
sophisticated
local  speed-of-sound  measurements.  The technology is ideally suited =
for the
food  processing,  consumer  products, and polymer  industries  where  =
process
fluids  or  products  with  complex  physical  properties  (e.g.,  those =
 that
determine  texture and  consistency)  need to be measured or monitored =
in real
time for quality  control.  The  technology  helps take the  guesswork  =
out of
quality-related issues and supplants  labor-intensive sampling =
procedures.  It
provides desirable  performance  features in terms of automation,  =
resolution,
penetration,  and speed.  The device meets plant  operating  =
requirements  for
physical size and  robustness by integrating  advanced  sensors,  =
miniaturized
electronics,  and digital signal  processing  technologies.  The device =
can be
mounted on the outside of piping for continuous or intermittent =
monitoring.

The base  technology  is patented (U.S.  Patent No.  6,067,861  issued =
May 30,
2000)  and  related  improvements  are  patent  pending.  Note:  THIS IS =
NOT A
PROCUREMENT.  Any company interested in licensing this technology must =
respond
with a letter of interest  (may be  submitted by e-mail) no later than =
60 days
from the publication  date of this Notice  summarizing the company?s  =
business
and  technical   expertise  and  motivation  for  pursuing  this  =
opportunity.
Companies deemed appropriate will be provided with further  information =
on the
technology.  Such information may require an executed Nondisclosure =
Agreement.
Respondents  wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial  =
license will
be  required  to  submit  a  business  plan for the  commercialization  =
of the
technology  prior to  licensee(s)  selection  and  negotiations.  Please =
 send
letters of interest to the attention of the POC identified within this =
Notice.
