AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

ACTION: Notice of intent to grant a partially exclusive license.

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

SUMMARY: This notice is issued in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) 
and 37 CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i). NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to 
grant a worldwide partially exclusive license to practice the 
inventions described and claimed in NASA Case Numbers LAR-16571-2 
entitled ``Magnetic Field Response Sensor for Conductive Media,'' U.S. 
Patent Application Number 11/421,886; LAR-16571-3 entitled ``Magnetic 
Field Response Sensor for Conductive Media,'' U.S. Patent Application 
Number 12/533,520; LAR-16974-1 entitled ``Flexible Framework for 
Capacitive Sensing,'' U.S. Patent Number 7,047,807 B2; LAR-17116-1 
entitled ``System and Method for Wirelessly Determining Fluid Volume,'' 
U.S. Patent Number 7,506,541 B2; LAR-17155-1 entitled ``Wireless Fluid 
Level Measuring System,'' U.S. Patent Number 7,255,004 B2; LAR-17294-1 
entitled ``Wireless Sensing System Using Open-Circuit, Electrically-
Conductive Spiral-Trace Sensor,'' U.S. Patent Application Number 11/
671,089; LAR-17480-1 entitled ``Method of Calibrating a Fluid-Level 
Measurement System,'' U.S. Patent Application Number 11/930,222; LAR-
17480-1-PCT entitled ``Method of Calibrating a Fluid-Level Measurement 
System,'' PCT Patent Application Number PCT/US08/58332; LAR-17488-1 
entitled ``Wireless Sensing System for Non-Invasive Monitoring of 
Attributes of Contents in a Container,'' U.S. Patent Application Number 
12/015,626; and LAR-17488-1-PCT entitled ``Wireless Sensing System for 
Non-Invasive Monitoring of Attributes of Contents in a Container,'' PCT 
Patent Application Number PCT/US08/51258 to Kelvin International 
Corporation having its principal place of business in Newport News, 
Virginia. The field of use may be limited to cryogenic liquid product 
applications including flow, level, and fluid measurement applications. 
The patent rights 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

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 141, Hampton, VA 23681; (757) 864-9260 (phone),
