- 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 valve developed consists of a solid piston floating in a medium to control the flow stream. The piston is designed to be axially and radially balanced within the flow stream whether the valve is in the open or closed position. The only force imparted onto the piston is that which the operator chooses to input on to it. The advantages to this design are (1) the elimination of a conventional actuator, which is replaced by one or two simple solenoid valves; (2) elimination of valve actuator adjustments; (3) consistent seating force regardless of the pressure drop across the valve; (4) elimination of the valve stem and stem seals; and (5) elimination of most flow induced thrust forces. Additionally, the valve consists of only five parts with a few simple seals incorporated into a well protected design. The simple design allows for use in nominal or extremely high pressures and for the use of soft or hard metal seats; this valve design reduces downtime and maintenance costs, while increasing valve reliability and seat life. 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/SSC-TOPS-2 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA�s Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this SAM.gov 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.
