AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant partially exclusive license.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is issued in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(e) and 
37 CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i). NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant 
a partially exclusive license in the United States to practice the 
inventions described and claimed in U.S. Patent No. 7,075,295 B2, 
``Magnetic Field Response Sensor for Conductive Media,'' NASA Case No. 
LAR-16571-1; U.S. Patent No. 7,589,525 B2, ``Magnetic Field Response 
Sensor for Conductive Media,'' NASA Case No. LAR-16571-2; U.S. Patent 
No. 7,255,004 B2, ``Wireless Fluid Level Measuring System,'' NASA Case 
No. LAR-17155-1; U.S. Patent No. 7,086,593 B2, ``Magnetic Field 
Response Measurement Acquisition System,'' NASA Case No. LAR-16908-1; 
U.S. Patent No. 7,159,774 B2, ``Magnetic Field Response Measurement 
Acquisition System,'' NASA Case No. LAR-17280-1; U.S. Patent No. 
8,430,327 B2, ``Wireless Sensing System Using Open-Circuit, 
Electrically-Conductive Spiral-Trace Sensor,'' NASA Case No. LAR-17294-
1; and U.S. Patent No. 7,711,509 B2, ``Method of Calibrating a Fluid-
Level Measurement System,'' NASA Case No. LAR-17480-1 to Caplan Taylor 
Enterprises LLC (DBA Tidewater Sensors LLC) having its principal place 
of business in Newport News, Virginia. The fields of use may be limited 
to, but not necessarily limited to, fluid level measurement in 
automotive (including cars, trucks, recreational vehicles, and 
motorcycles) and train applications limited to gasoline, diesel fuel, 
biodiesel fuel, fuel oil, waste water, and liquid waste. The patent 
rights in these inventions have been assigned to the United States of 
America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics 
and Space Administration. The prospective partially exclusive license 
will comply with the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 
404.7.

DATES: The prospective partially exclusive license may be granted 
unless, within fifteen (15) days from the date of this published

argument that establish that the grant of the license would not be 
consistent with the requirements 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 partially exclusive 
license.

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.

ADDRESSES: Objections relating to the prospective license may be 
submitted to Patent Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel, NASA Langley 
Research Center, MS 30, Hampton, VA 23681; (757) 864-3230 (phone), 
(757) 864-9190 (fax).
