Jack Quint, Janie Carr, Bob Helen,
Chris Baumgart, Jim Creager, Dick Neyer, Tim
Troupe, Dave Mauntjoy, Kim Linder
For development and transfer of the detection
of Karnal bunt (a fungal disease of wheat) using
digital optics and a pattern recognition system.
Tom E. Hand, George W. Bohnert,
Mike Powers
For the development and transfer of Synergy
CCS precision cleaning agent; An Elegant Solution
To A Complex Environmental Problem.
Argonne
National Laboratory
G.W. Crabtree, U. Welp, V.K. Vlasko-Vlasov,
V.I. Nikitenko
For the development and transfer of a noninvasive
technique for the evaluation of the performance
of superconducting components using magneto-optical
imaging of the magnetic fields in superconductors.
Mitchell D. Erickson, Kent Orlandini,
Lesa Smith, Gary Goken, Keith M. Hoffman, Ron
L. Bruening
For the development and transfer of Empore Rad

sample preparation methods, reducing the number
of steps and therefore reagent and waste volumes
and overall costs.
Brookhaven
National Laboratory
Peter Z. Takacs, Manfred Grindel
For the commercialization of the Long Trace
Profiler, and ultraprecision optical surface-profiling
instrument.
Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory
Thomas E. McEwan, Patrick Welsh,
Gregory Dallum
For the development and transfer of an electronic
dipstick which determines fluid level by measuring
the time it takes for an electrical impulse
to reflect from the surface of liquid in a container.
Booth R. Myers, Hao-Lin Chen,
Glenn Meyer, Dino Ciarlo
For the development and transfer of a sealed-tube
electron-beam gun for material processing.
Luis E. Zapata, Lloyd A. Hackel,
Damon Mateo
Transferred high-power, high-uniformity diffuse
reflector technology for a rapid thermal processor
for semiconductor crystallization, activation,
and annealing.
National
Renewable Energy Laboratory
Dave Benson, Steve Burch, Matt
Keyse, Tom Potter, Ed Tracy, Robert Rehn, Terry
Penney, Richard Boss, Andreas Vlahinos
For the development and transfer of a variable-conductance
vacuum-insulated catalytic converter to eliminate
cold-start automotive pollution.
Jerry Olson, Sarah Kurtz, Alan
Kibbler, Charlene Kramer, Daniel Friedman

an innovative took kit that makes the Model
Energy Code understandable and accessible to
thousands of users.
David W. Koppenaal, Charles J.
Barinaga, Gregory C. Elden
For coupling ion-trap spectrometry with plasma
ionization, then convincing an industrial partner
that this revolutionary technology would be
a valuable produce line.
Pittsburgh
