Availability for Non-Exclusive, Exclusive, or Partially Exclusive 
Licensing of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Concerning Hybrid 
Inhalation System for Precious Materials


AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.


ACTION: Notice.


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


SUMMARY: In accordance with 37 CFR 404.6 and 404.7, announcement is 
made of the availability for licensing of U.S. Provisional Patent No. 
60/396,698 entitled ``Hybrid Inhalation System for Precious 
Materials,'' filed July 17, 2002. The United States Government, as 
represented by the Secretary of the Army, has rights in this invention.


ADDRESSES: Commander, U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, 
Attn: Command Judge Advocate, MCMR-JA, 504 Scott Street, Fort Detrick, 
Frederick, MD 21702-5012.


FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For patent issues, Ms. Elizabeth 
Arwine, Patent Attorney, (301) 619-7808. For licensing issues, Dr. Paul 
Mele, Office of Research & Technology Assessment, (301) 619-6664, both 
at telefax (301) 619-5034.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The invention is a method and associated 
system for generating a cycle of dynamic and static test atmospheres 
designed to be sued for aerosol characterization or exposing animals to 
all materials potentially aerosolized but especially limited production 
materials such as new chemical entities or biologics.
    This method will greatly reduce the cost and time required for 
evaluation of precious materials under testing. The method includes 
complete computer automated control of aerosol generation, 
characterization, and exposure duration and can be utilized with a 
variety of commercially-available aerosol generators, sampling devices, 
and material types.
