SUBJECT CATEGORY:
Notice of Inventions Available for Licensing
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
The inventions listed below are owned in whole or in part by the U.S. Government, as represented by the Secretary of Commerce. The U.S. Government's interest in these inventions is available for licensing in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 207 and 37 CFR part 404 to achieve expeditious commercialization of results of Federally funded research and development.
SUMMARY:
Inventions Available for Licensing
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
NIST may enter into a Cooperative Research
and Development Agreement (``CRADA'') with the licensee to perform
further research on the invention for purposes of commercialization. The inventions available for licensing are:
NIST Docket Number: 08008.
Title: SolutionProcessed Flexible Titanium Dioxide Memory Devices.
Abstract: The invention provides a method of processing a
nonvolatile memory device includes forming a first electrode,
depositing a layer of solgel solution on the first electrode,
hydrolyzing the layer of solgel solution to form a layer of variable
electric resistance material, and forming a second electrode on the layer of variable electric resistance material.
NIST Docket Number: 08012.
Title: Low Cost MultiChannel Data Acquisition Systems.
Abstract: This invention is jointly owned by the Department of
Commerce and the University of Maryland. Embodiments of the invention
provide an inexpensive and fast pulse characterization platform capable
of real time operation, suitable for acquisition of singlephoton data.
Embodiments include both a digital multichannel data acquisition
instrument and an analog pulse acquisition instrument suitable for a
wide range of applications in physics laboratories. A Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) performs multichannel acquisition in
real time, time stamps single events, and determines if the events fit
a predetermined signature, which causes the events to be categorized as
a coincidence. The indications of coincidences are then communicated to a host computer for further processing as desired.
NIST Docket Number: 08015.
Title: A Mechanism for the Specification and Enforcement of Arbitrary AttributeBased Access Control Policies.
Abstract: Protection of enterprise resources in today's access
control paradigm requires the deployment of a multitude of access
control mechanisms implemented at both the operating system and
application levels. These mechanisms come in a wide variety of forms each with their individual
[[Page 10556]]
methods for authenticating users, configuring security policies,
computing access control decisions, and enforcing these policies. A
characteristic of dispersed heterogeneous access control mechanisms is
a lack of interoperability that consequently results in a host of
identity and privilege management issues. However, solving the
interoperability problem alone is not sufficient in curing the problems
of the existing access control paradigm. While there exists a diverse
set of known access control policies, only a small subset of these
policies is enforceable through existing mechanisms. In addition,
policies independently implemented within applications can easily
undermine one another as well as those implemented at the operating
system level. To streamline identity and privilege management
operations and provide comprehensive and flexible security policy
enforcement, a standardsdriven framework, called the Policy Machine,
for the specification and enforcement of access control that can be
adopted by future versions of operating systems and serve as a basis
for the development of truly secure applications has been developed.
