(c) Applications for license should be addressed to the Administrator, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, D.C. 20456. The application must fully identify the patent or patent application, and state the type of license requested together with proposed terms and conditions thereof. (d) The conduct of negotiations with prospective licensees will be the responsibility of the General Counsel, NASA. In the conduct of such negotiations, due regard shall be had for the possible interests of NASA program and staff offices, and their coordination will be obtained as deemed appropriate. (e) NASA will publish notice in the FEDERAL REGISTER, and elsewhere as may be appropriate, of its intention to grant an exclusive license under an identified patent or patent application. An exclusive license will not be granted until the expiration of 60 days from the date of notice in order to provide a suitable time interval for interested persons or other Government agencies to interpose comment or objection. (f) All licenses shall become effective upon the written acceptance by the licensee of a license instrument specifying the type of license and terms and conditions thereof. Effective date. The provisions of this Subpart 4 are effective upon publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER. JAMES E. WEBB, Administrator. [F.R. Doc. 66-8920; Filed, Aug. 17, 1966; 8:45 a.m.] FEDERAL REGISTER, VOL. 31, NO. 160-THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1966 (A) Listed below are abstracts of various NASA-owned inventions which are available for foreign licensing in the identified countries in accordance with the NASA Foreign Patent Licensing Regulations, published on August 18, 1966, in 31 Federal Register 10958-10959. Inquiries and all requests for licenses should be directed to Assistant General Counsel for Patent Matters, Code GP, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, D.C. 20546. SYSTEM FOR RECORDING AND REPRODUCING NASA Case No. XGS-01021 Canada [Corresponding to U.S. Patent No. 3,277,373] In pulse code modulated magnetic tape recording and reproducing (playback) systems, the playback head tends to alter the shape of the recorded signal. Accordingly, the reproducing system must reconstruct the proper signal from the altered one. This invention eliminates the need for this reconstruction function by the design. of the playback head in which the head gap is approximately one-half the wave length of the recorded pulse code modulated data at its fundamental pulse repetition frequency. The playback head thus provides an output signal which is an integral of the recorded signal and contains all of the recorded information. The invention also allows a higher packing density of the recorded information on the magnetic tape. MAGNETOMOTIVE METAL WORKING DEVICE NASA Case No. XMF-03793 Canada, France, Holland, Italy, Japan, Sweden, United Kingdom, West Germany [Corresponding to U.S. Patent No. 3,360,972] A portable magnetic hammer, a metal working device developed in the course of the Saturn program, wherein energy for manipulating a metal workpiece is acquired by creating a high-intensity magnetic field from a controlled electrical discharge into a conductor coil. This compact, lightweight device performs sizing, blanking, and stress removal functions without surface marring of the metals. It is expected that the magnetic hammer would find use in many environments particularly in removing dents, deformed or depressed surfaces from vehicles, fenders and bodies, tanks, etc. APPARATUS PROVIDING A DIRECTIVE FIELD NASA Case No. XGS-02607 Australia, Canada, France, Holland, United Kingdom, West Germany [Corresponding to U.S. Patent No. 3,341,151] A satellite, adapted to spin about an axis, having antenna elements for communicating with a remote body and a beam collimator rotatable with respect to the spin axis. The beam collimator is rotated at the same rate and in the opposite direction as the spin of the satellite to provide a directional beam stationary in space. Ejection apparatus enables the collimator to be jettisoned in event of rotational malfunction so that an omnidirectional beam may be provided about the spin axis. Signal processing circuitry operating in conjunction with the antenna elements provides information concerning the attitude of the satellite. LIGHT DETECTION SYSTEM NASA Case No. XMS-01059 Canada, France, Italy, [Corresponding to U.S. Patent No. 3,354,320] A system for determining the position of a light source about two axes of a reference position. The system, originally developed for orienting antenna on the Mariner spacecraft, utilizes a single movable part, a vibrating reed shutter, for alternately blocking and passing light from the source projected onto a photosensitive detector at the position of reference. |
