- Description
- NASA�s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries 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.��NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: The development of the self-diagnostic accelerometer (SDA) is a critical enabling technology for future automated malfunction diagnostic systems. NASA Glenn has developed a Self-Diagnostic Accelerometer Field Programmable Gate Array (SDA FPGA), a small, highly customizable electronics system that is more energy efficient, and more cost effective than previously used diagnostic tools.� The SDA FPGA utilizes programmed health algorithms that can automatically determine sensor structural health and attachment condition in-flight and remotely with no delay due to post-processing of data.� This system is an improvement over previous sensor health monitoring systems which include large signal analyzers that require attached computers to post process the diagnostic data, or visual examination of sensors to detect problems.� The system can also be made as a portable and temporary diagnostic system which could be plugged in while leaving the previous sensor system installation unaffected. NASA Glenn's self diagnostic accelerometer field programmable gate array is a sensor system that utilizes a small and efficient yet customizable electronics system to capture accelerometer diagnostic data. Newly developed health algorithms were programmed into the SDA FPGA and utilize cross-correlation pattern recognition to discriminate a healthy from a faulty SDA.� The diagnostic components of the system actively determine the accelerometer structural health and attachment condition.� The SDA FPGA system sends an electrical signal to the accelerometer's piezoelectric crystal. The physical state of the crystal and its surroundings influence the electrical response that is correspondingly received by the SDA FPGA.� Changes in the response are correlated to changes in the accelerometer health and attachment condition.� The results of the diagnostics are reported in real time on the LCD display of the FPGA. Recent aircraft ground testing has demonstrated for the first time the robustness of the SDA in an engine environment characterized by high vibration levels. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA�s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/LEW-TOPS-98 If you have any questions, please contact NASA Glenn�s Technology Transfer Office at grc-techtransfer@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information.� For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA�s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities.��No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
