The patent rights in the inventions have been assigned to the United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

(15)days of the date of this published notice will be treated as objections to the grant of the contemplated partially exclusive license.

Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home address from public disclosure, which we will honor to the extent allowable by law. There may be circumstances in which we would withhold a respondent's identity from public disclosure, as allowable by law. If you wish us to withhold your name and/or address, you may state this prominently at the beginning of your comment. We will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public disclosure in their entirety. ADDRESSES: Inquires, comments, objections, and other material relating to the contemplated license may be submitted to Patent Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel, Johnson Space Center, Mail Code AL, 2101 NASA Parkway, Houston, Texas 77058.
