Notice of Intent To Grant Exclusive License of U.S. Patent
Application No. 12/432,842 Filed April 30, 2009 Entitled: ``A Soil
Stabilization Soil Comprising Same, and a Method of Stabilizing Soil''
AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DOD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with 37 CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i), announcement is made
of a prospective exclusive license of the following U.S. Patent
Application No. 12/432,842 Filed April 30, 2009.
[[Page 15420]]
DATES: Written objections must be filed not later than 15 days
following publication of this announcement.
ADDRESSES: United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center,
Waterways Experiment Station, Attn: CEERD-ZA-T (Mr. Phillip Stewart),
3909 Halls Ferry Road, Vicksburg, MS 39180-6199.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Phillip Stewart (601) 634-4113,
FAX (601) 634-4180, e-mail: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This invention has non-government co-
inventors and this announcement pertains only to the licensing of the
Federal Government's rights, not to the rights of the non-government
inventors. The technology claimed in this patent application improves a
soil's resistance to deformation, prevents complete rewetting of the
soil which improves freeze-thaw resistance and durability, and reduces
fugitive dust. This method of stabilization provides for immediate use
with no curing time necessary and is particularly effective in extreme
cold climates with sandy, gravelly soils where emulsions and hydraulic
cements will not effectively cure. If damaged due to extreme traffic
loads or numbers, the system may be reworked and re-compacted with no
loss in effectiveness. It has been demonstrated to provide cost-savings
in remote locations where importation of crushed aggregate to construct
pavement is costly and impractical.
