Department
of Energy
Argonne
National Laboratory
Richard Hitterman, David Kupperman,
Saurin Majumdar, Jim Richardson, Jitendra P.
Singh
Transferred neutron diffraction techniques that
have been developed to determine strains and
stresses in engineering composites for validation
of analytical models and optimization of fabrication
procedures.
Idaho
National Engineering Laboratory
John E. Flinn
For outstanding achievement in the development
and successful implementation of cooperative
research and development agreements (CRADAS)
for transfer of rapid solidification technology.
Lawrence
Berkeley Laboratory
John Clarke
Developed and transferred a highly sensitive
device, the SQUID magnetometer, using the new
high temperature super-conducting materials
for medical and geophysical applications.
Wayne R. McKinney
Synchrotron-radiation research depends upon
optics formed into complicated shapes with unprecedented
precision. McKinney and industry collaborators
made several breakthroughs in manufacturing
and characterizing these devices.
Shih-Ger Chang
Transferred the LBL Phosnox process for combined
removal of SO² and NOX from flue gas.
Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory
Anthony F. Bernhardt, Robert J.
Contolini, Steven T. Mayer
For the transfer of electrochemical planerization
and electro-polishing technology to a computer
manufacturer.
Lloyd A. Hackel
For outstanding development and transfer of
state-of-the-art solid state laser technology
to Hampshire Instruments for use in the Hi model
3500 x-ray system.
Los
Alamos National Laboratory
Betty Jorgensen, Howard Nekimken
For transferring the technology of their optical
high-acidity sensor to industry which may result
in the transfer being completed in one year's
time.
George I. Bell, James H. Jett,
Richard A. Keller, Babetta L. Marrone, John
C. Martin, Brooks E. Shera
For transferring the rapid DNA sequencing technology
to industry, resulting in a patent issued, a
patent applied for, and a CRADA with Life Technologies,
Inc.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
A.L. Compere, J.M. Googin, W.L.Griffith, W.P.
Huxtable
For significant contributions to the invention,
development, licensing, and commercialization
of the CL2EAN OUT process for dechlorination
of waste streams.
Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory
L. Roy Bunnell, Frank P. Hungate,
William F. Riemath
For determination in transferring the portable
blood irradiator technology to an international
center for treatment of leukemia and blood diseases,
where it can help save lives.
L. Loren Eyler, Donald S. Trent
For dedicated and innovative technology transfer
of the TEMPEST software for three-dimensional
transient hydrothermal analysis.
John W. Cary, Glendon W. Gee,
Randy R. Kirkham, John F. McVride, Carver S.
Simmons
For their vision and persistence in transferring
the electro-optic liquid soil sensor, a simple
inexpensive device with environmental and agricultural
applications.
Pittsburgh
Energy Technology Center
Mahendra P. Mathur, Franklin D.
Shaffer
For their outstanding efforts in transferring
an advanced flow diagnostic technique developed
for fossil fuels to assist the medical community
in improving artificial heart pumps.
Sandia
National Laboratories (NM)
Theodore A. Dellin
For combining the vision, industry needs, and
laboratory resources into a microelectronics
quality/reliability center to transfer quality
technologies to the IC industry.
