Ames
Laboratory, Iowa State University
Edward S. Yeung
For unusual devotion and effort in transferring
a new laser-based method for indirect fluorescence
of biological samples.
Lawrence
Berkeley Laboratory
Dariush Arasteh, Stephen Selkowitz
For development and transfer to the U.S. building
industry of the technology base for "superwindow,"
windows with better thermal performance than
insulating walls.
Mark Bednarski, Matthew Callstrom
For the development of a new polymeric material
which can significantly extend the active lifetime
of enzymes and allow their use in harsh industrial
environments.
Los
Alamos National Laboratory
Anthony A. Amsden, T. Daniel Butler,
Peter J. O'Rourke
For the nominees' efforts in the transfer of
the KIVA software, which has led to the widespread
use of the technology by U.S. engine manufacturers
such as General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and
Cummins Engine Company.
Albert Migliori, George Rhodes
(Quatro)
For the nominees' efforts in the transfer of
the resonant ultrasound inspection technology,
