- Description
- This is a sources sought synopsis for the commercialization and licensing from NASA?s Goddard Space Flight Center of the revolutionary Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) for use in US and foreign markets for acoustical signal processing applications. THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. NASA?s Goddard Space Flight Center has filed for foreign patent protection of the HHT for acoustical signal processing applications. This synopsis provides a unique opportunity for US companies to license the HHT for this application in foreign markets. NASA?s Science and Technology Board recognized the HHT as ?one of the most important discoveries in applied mathematics in NASA history.? HHT has also won the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Excellence in Technology Transfer Award, NASA Space Act Award, R&D 100 Award and Government Executive Leadership Award, and its innovator has been elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering--the highest honor that can be bestowed to an engineer. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center developed this highly efficient, adaptive, user-friendly tool specifically for the analysis of nonlinear, non-stationary data--a difficult problem confronting many industries. Previous to the HHT, there were no suitable methods to analyze these data. Unfortunately, few energy-frequency data sets, from either natural phenomena or artificial sources, are truly linear or stationary. Therefore, an algorithm was needed for these pervasive circumstances. The state-of-the-art HHT provides previously unavailable analysis of nonlinear and non-stationary data as well as linear and stationary data enabling better results and labor savings. The HHT algorithms are coded in C and accurately analyze energy frequencies via a three-step process: ?Sifting: Based on the empirical mode decomposition method, HHT's sifting process generates a collection of simple mode functions (SMFs) for the complicated data, allowing instantaneous frequencies to be defined. ?Hilbert transformation: Performing a Hilbert spectral analysis on the SMFs converts the energy-based signals to frequency- and time-based signals. ?Spectral presentation: The results are presented within the context of the Hilbert spectra. The HHT shows more physical meaning and enables users to conduct more precise analysis of signal data than can be obtained from conventional Fourier-based methods. Further, when used as a filter, provides sharper analysis than Fourier-based filters. This proven technology has been used to analyze under-water acoustic signals and several other commercial applications exist. This technology is part of NASA?s Commercial Technology Program, which seeks to stimulate commercial use of NASA-developed technology. NASA invites companies interested in licensing the HHT technology for commercialization in foreign markets for acoustic signal processing applications to submit their interests by Friday, February 28, 2003 to Ms. Evette Conwell, Code 504, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771. Your submission of interest must include: (1) your name, (2) name of authorized company representative, (3) company name, (4) company address, (5) company business, and (6) place of incorporation. All responsible sources may reply. This synopsis should not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose.*****
