ROTARY PIN-IN-MAZE DISCRIMINATOR Sandia National Laboratories desires to make available for commercialization a patent pending safety component called the rotary pin-in-maze discriminator (SD 4812). The device will find applications in areas of use control and as a safety component whose function is to isolate vulnerable and critical elements from accidental environments. The discriminator denies use of a system, or access to a system, until the proper unique code is executed. Given the incorrect code, both the maze wheel and the pin wheel lock in position and prevent unauthorizated access and use. The mechanism can be configured as either a single try or a multiple try device. It can also be used as part of a lock for which multiple attempts to unlock are not permitted. Sandia is committed to developing industrial partnerships through a number of mechanisms including licensing of intellectual property, cooperative research and development agreements (CRADA's) and small business assistance programs. Industrial partners interested in this technology commercialization opportunity should contact Sandia's Technology Transfer Office.
