the selection process. 

Timeframe for Recruitment and 

Applications 

Mission recruitment will be 

conducted in an open and public 

manner. Outreach will include posting 

on the Commerce Department trade 

mission calendar http:// 

www.ita.doc.gov/doctm/tmcal.html and 

other Internet Web sites, press releases 

to general and trade media, direct mail, 

broadcast fax, notices by industry trade 

associations and other multiplier 

groups, and publicity at industry 

meetings, symposia, conferences, and 

trade shows. The U.S. Commercial 

Service offices in Italy, Germany and 

Belgium, in cooperation with port area 

U.S. Export Assistance Centers and the 

Global Safety and Security, 

Environmental, and Europe Teams will 

lead recruitment activities. 

The mission will open on a first come 

first served basis. Recruitment will 

begin immediately and close March 23, 

2009. Applications received after March 

23, 2009, will be considered only if 

space and scheduling constraints 

permit. Interested U.S. firms may

Notice of Inventions Available for 

Licensing 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of inventions available 

for licensing. 

SUMMARY: The inventions listed below 

are owned in whole or in part by the 

U.S. Government, as represented by the 

Secretary of Commerce. The U.S. 

Government’s interest in these 

inventions is available for licensing in 

accordance with 35 U.S.C. 207 and 37 

CFR part 404 to achieve expeditious 

commercialization of results of 

Federally funded research and 

development. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Technical and licensing information on 

these inventions may be obtained by 

writing to: National Institute of 

Standards and Technology, Office of 

Technology Partnerships, Attn: Mary 

Clague, Building 222, Room A240, 

Gaithersburg, MD 20899. Information is 

also available via telephone: 301–975–

mary.clague@nist.gov. Any request for 

information should include the NIST 

Docket number and title for the 

invention as indicated below. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST may 

enter into a Cooperative Research and 

Development Agreement (‘‘CRADA’’) 

with the licensee to perform further 

research on the invention for purposes 

of commercialization. The inventions 

available for licensing are: 

NIST Docket Number: 08–008. 

Title: Solution-Processed Flexible 

Titanium Dioxide Memory Devices. 

Abstract: The invention provides a 

method of processing a nonvolatile 

memory device includes forming a first 

electrode, depositing a layer of sol-gel 

solution on the first electrode, 

hydrolyzing the layer of sol-gel solution 

to form a layer of variable electric 

resistance material, and forming a 

second electrode on the layer of variable 

electric resistance material. 

NIST Docket Number: 08–012. 

Title: Low Cost Multi-Channel Data 

Acquisition Systems. 

Abstract: This invention is jointly 

owned by the Department of Commerce 

and the University of Maryland. 

Embodiments of the invention provide 

an inexpensive and fast pulse 

characterization platform capable of real 

time operation, suitable for acquisition 

of single-photon data. Embodiments 

include both a digital multi-channel 

data acquisition instrument and an 

analog pulse acquisition instrument 

suitable for a wide range of applications 

in physics laboratories. A Field 

Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) 

performs multi-channel acquisition in 

real time, time stamps single events, and 

determines if the events fit a 

predetermined signature, which causes 

the events to be categorized as a 

coincidence. The indications of 

coincidences are then communicated to 

a host computer for further processing 

as desired. 

NIST Docket Number: 08–015. 

Title: A Mechanism for the 

Specification and Enforcement of 

Arbitrary Attribute-Based Access 

Control Policies. 

Abstract: Protection of enterprise 

resources in today’s access control 

paradigm requires the deployment of a 

multitude of access control mechanisms 

implemented at both the operating 

system and application levels. These 

mechanisms come in a wide variety of 

forms each with their individual

methods for authenticating users, 

configuring security policies, computing 

access control decisions, and enforcing 

these policies. A characteristic of 

dispersed heterogeneous access control 

mechanisms is a lack of interoperability 

that consequently results in a host of 

identity and privilege management 

issues. However, solving the 

interoperability problem alone is not 

sufficient in curing the problems of the 

existing access control paradigm. While 

there exists a diverse set of known 

access control policies, only a small 

subset of these policies is enforceable 

through existing mechanisms. In 

addition, policies independently 

implemented within applications can 

easily undermine one another as well as 

those implemented at the operating 

system level. To streamline identity and 

privilege management operations and 

provide comprehensive and flexible 

security policy enforcement, a 

standards-driven framework, called the 

Policy Machine, for the specification 

and enforcement of access control that 

can be adopted by future versions of 

operating systems and serve as a basis 

for the development of truly secure 

applications has been developed.
