STATUS REPORT OF THE ENERGY-RELATED

INVENTIONS PROGRAM AS OF OCTOBER 1, 1987

I . BACKGROUND

The Office of Energy-Related Inventions (OERI) was established within the

National Bureau of Standards ( NBS ) under the terms of Section 14 of the Federal

Nonnuclear Energy Research and Development Act of 1974. Section 14 directs NBS

to "give particular attention to the evaluation of all promising energy-related

inventions particularly those submitted by individual inventors and small

companies for the purpose of obtaining direct grants" from the Department of

Energy (DOE)

A separate office was established within DOE to coordinate financial and other

DOE support to be provided for inventions recommended by NBS. The NBS and DOE

offices together constitute the Energy-Related Inventions Program.

II . OVERVIEW OF PROGRAM OPERATION

The Energy-Related Inventions Program is jointly operated by NBS and the DOE.

Funding is provided through the DOE budget (Conservation and Renewable Energy,

Conservation, Energy Conversion and Utilization Technology).

Under the law NBS (OERI) is responsible for evaluation of inventions, whether

submitted directly to OERI or submitted to DOE or other agencies and forwarded

to OERI . OERI is also responsible for outreach activities aimed at bringing

the Program to the attention of inventors and small businesses.

OERI reviews and processes all evaluation requests. Evaluation is based on

three general criteria: technical feasibility, potential energy-conservation

or supply impact, and commercial feasibility. All inventors are informed of

the results of the evaluation of their invention. An invention which meets the

NBS criteria for recommendation is forwarded to DOE for possible support

action

Inventions forwarded by the OERI to DOE are recommended as "technically valid

and worthy of consideration for Government support" under the NBS/DOE

Inventions Program. An OERI report is furnished with the recommendation to

explain in detail the advantages of the technology as well as any

qualifications of the recommendations, such as required testing. It also

provides guidance to DOE and the inventor for deciding on the nature and extent

of support to be given.

Inventions recommended by OERI may be at any stage of their development; some

may be conceptual, others at the laboratory testing stage, while others may be

in production or in the process of being marketed. How much support will be

furnished will depend largely on what is required to move invention development

forward or to resolve the question of whether development should continue; the

latter question is of particular interest if the NBS evaluation is based on

data furnished by the inventor and the recommendation is qualified by an

expressed need for data validation under controlled testing conditions.
In general, DOE accepts the NBS recommendation and provides the appropriate

support. However, there have been and will continue to be cases in which DOE

cannot or will not provide support. DOE attempts to reach agreement with the

inventor on the nature and extent of support within constraints. Constraints

include the capabilities of the inventor and/or the company involved, possible

duplication of prior or on-going DOE-funded efforts, availability of private

sector support, and DOE fund limitations.

It should be noted that DOE performs no technical evaluation beyond that done

by NBS. DOE does reserve the right to question and reject the NBS

recommendation and to restrict support because of policy and/or funding

considerations

Each case is decided on the basis of its own merit and need. If DOE decides to

support the invention, support can include: a grant, a contract, or direct

assistance of a technical or business nature. DOE's objective is that, at the

completion of this support, the inventor will be in a position to do one or

more of the following:

Compete effectively in obtaining contracts from other sources

(including existing government programs) to permit further development

of the invention.

Assemble, with confidence of success, the people and capital necessary

to produce and market products derived from the invention through a business enterprise in which the inventor is a major participant.

Negotiate arrangements with an existing company that will develop the

inventor's product for commercialization.

Ill . EVALUATION PROCEDURES (NBS)

There are three principal steps in the evaluation process used by the National

Bureau of Standards' Office of Energy-Related Inventions. In the first step,

Disclosure Review and Analysis, invention disclosures are either accepted or

rejected for evaluation, depending upon whether or not the invention is within

program scope and the disclosure is sufficiently well-prepared to enable

evaluation. If accepted, a formal evaluation is initiated.

First-Stage Evaluation is a technical screening in which brief opinions are

obtained from OERI staff evaluators, other government scientists or engineers,

or consultants or contractors. If the invention is rated as "promising" in

this first-stage, Second-Stage Evaluation is initiated. ("Promising" means the

invention seems to be technically feasible, have significant energy

conservation or supply potential, and to be economically and commercially

practical .

)

In Second-Stage Evaluation a more in-depth analysis is conducted, resulting in

a formal report. If Second-Stage Evaluation confirms the finding of

"promising," the disclosure and evaluation results are forwarded with a recommendation for Government support to DOE.
Throughout the process, the inventor is kept informed of the status of the

evaluation. When evaluation is complete after either first- or second-stage, a letter of notification is sent to the inventor reporting the results of the

evaluation. If Second-Stage Evaluation has been conducted, a copy of the

second-stage invention review is also sent to the inventor. Statistics on NBS

evaluations since the inception of the program are attached. Attachment 1 describes the distribution of invention evaluation requests by State.

Attachment 2 describes the distribution of inventions submitted by subject

area. Attachment 3 describes the inventions by stage of invention development

at the time of submission. The lower total numbers in Attachment 3 reflect the

fact that this information was not collected during the first several years of

program operation.

IV. SUPPORT PROCEDURES (DOE)

Upon receipt of a recommendation from NBS, DOE contacts the inventor, provides

details of the support procedures, and requests a statement as to the nature

and extent of support desired, generally in the form of a proposal or grant

application. The DOE invention coordinator works with the inventor in proposal

preparation to ensure effective review of support options and to develop a satisfactory statement of work and support plan. DOE then decides whether or

not to provide support as well as the nature and extent of support.

If financial support is to be provided, DOE initiates procurement action,

monitors progress of the procurement action, and helps to expedite processing

of the paperwork until the award is made. As of September 1987 DOE had awarded

a total of $20,286,612 to 277 of the inventions recommended by NBS.

During the period that financial or other support is provided, the DOE

invention coordinator monitors and assists the inventor's efforts, maintaining

a status report for use by both DOE and NBS.

The following computerized report from OERI lists each recommendation by OERI

and briefly describes its status as of September 30, 1987. Status is described

in terms of the following steps in the DOE support process.

Analysis Recommendation received from NBS and processed, file

initiated, etc. Inventor asked to submit description of

proposed work. Receipt of inventor's preliminary proposal

initiates next stage. Formulate options for support, based

upon input from NBS, DOE program staff, and inventor.

Determination of the feasible options initiates next stage.

Decision Phase Statement of Work derived from above options. Inventor

requested to submit supporting documents for procurement

action. Prepare purchase request.

Other Assistance National Laboratory testing, or business planning assistance,

sometimes leading to a grant award.

Procurement Step-by-step processing of all documents leading to an award

of grant or contract.
Award

DOE Support

Complete

Inventor awarded grant or contract. Work commences. Final

report due at end of work period.

Inventor notified that sources of support within DOE have

been investigated, but recommendation will not be supported,

e.g., inventor not interested, no area of appropriate DOE

support could be identified, conflict with other DOE

contractors being supported.

Inventor has complied with all the requirements of his

Statement of Work, and/or DOE assistance in this program is

terminated

V. SUPPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES

National Innovation Workshops (NIW)

This project was initiated in early 1980 as a means of informing inventors

about the Program and increasing the percentage of higher-quality inventions

submitted to OERI . Another objective of the Workshop series is to assist

inventors (thus to stimulate innovation in general) by putting them in touch

with their community resources and by providing practical instruction in the

various elements of the innovation process.

Workshops are conducted in a standard format as 2-day seminars. On each day a plenary session and a luncheon session feature national-level speakers on

invention and innovation. Three 1 1/2 hour periods each day then are

designated for the conduct of 8 to 10 concurrent Workshop sessions.

The Workshops are organized as regional activities by a committee composed of

representatives from such regional organizations as universities, venture or

other financing groups, private sector institutions concerned with

technological innovation, state and local government agencies, patent law

associations, etc. Federal involvement is restricted to provide guidance and

financial support. The federal role is catalytic in nature in that Workshop

feasibility is demonstrated with the expectation that the regional committee

will continue Workshops and similar activities in the future without federal

involvement

Forty-one NIWs have held to date, five in calendar year 1987. Others scheduled

are: Tampa, FL - January 22-23, 1988; Los Angeles, CA - April 29-30, 1987.

Other possible areas for 1988 include Indiana, Pennsylvania, Minnesota,

Connecticut, and New York. Attendance has averaged about 250 inventors and

small businesses.

Commercialization Planning Workshops (CPW)

This series of workshops was initiated in June 1984 as a mechanism for

providing direct and immediate assistance to inventors whose inventions have

been recommended by NBS. Each workshop brings together a group of 10-14 such

inventors for a three day meeting with a "faculty" of six workshop leaders who

are selected on the basis of their expertise in at least one aspect of
innovation (business planning, marketing, finance, licensing, etc.). Workshop

attendance is limited to selected inventors and the faculty.

The three-day meeting is devised to provide a concentrated educational/informative experience for each recommendee; travel and other meeting expenses are

paid for by the Government. The objective in each case is for the recommendee

to develop, with the aid of the faculty, a detailed plan for commercialization

of his invention. The plan then serves as the principal basis for the DOE

office to conduct their initial review of the recommendation (Analysis).

Five such workshops were held during calendar 1987.

VI. NATURE OF THIS REPORT

Following the three attachments of statistics on the participation in the NBS

evaluation program there is an index of brief status reports on each invention

recommended by NBS since the program began, in the order that they were

recommended. The index lists the name of the inventor, the invention title,

the inventor's state or country of residence, the invention status at DOE (as

described in Section IV), and the page of this report with more details.

The body of the report (pages 1-205) contains brief descriptions of each of the

inventions recommended, a summary of its status, the identify of the DOE staff

coordinator for that invention, the date the invention was submitted to NBS and

the date recommended to DOE. The name and address of the person to contact

regarding the invention are also included whenever they are available, as are

the patent numbers and DOE grant numbers

The appendices at the end of the report include: a listing of the NBS

recommended inventions by technical category used by NBS (Appendix A) ; a listing of the NBS recommended inventions alphabetically by the inventor's last

name (Appendix B) ; and a listing of the NBS recommended inventions

alphabetically by the contact's last name (Appendix C).
