SUMMARY: This notice is issued in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1)

grant an exclusive license worldwide to practice the inventions 
described and claimed in U.S. Patent No. 6,046,398, entitled

Goodrich Corporation, having its principal place of business in Ithaca, 
New York. The fields of use may be limited to sensor applications for 
FTIR spectroscopy, aerospace, automotive, industrial process control,

Administration. The prospective exclusive license will comply with the 
terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.

of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. Competing applications completed and 
received by NASA within fifteen (15) days of the date of this published 
notice will also be treated as objections to the grant of the 
contemplated exclusive license. Objections submitted in response to 
this notice will not be made available to the public for inspection 
and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released under the 
Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.
