TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER WITH JEOL

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 我们ACERT中心的一个主要目标是传播我们开发的最先进的仪器技术，以便其他实验室能够以更高的效率进行更广泛的实验。鉴于中心的资源有限，目前我们以委托其他研究小组进行光谱仪建设项目的形式传播我们专有的仪器开发成果是不现实的。为了解决这一局限性，我们与日本仪器公司JEOL进行了持续的对话，该公司表示有兴趣在我们的帮助下升级其现有的ESR光谱仪。他们与我们签署了保密协议，我们提供了适合商业传播的光谱仪设计的详细规格。这些包括8至18 GHz外差脉冲和FT光谱仪，高功率95 GHz连续波/脉冲光谱仪，连续波桥工作在140和240 GHz，以及相关的子系统。我们的目标是与JEOL进行技术转让，考虑到他们对仪器研究和开发的财政支持，这与我们的共同利益有关。虽然它们目前没有为此目的编列内部预算资金，但在今后一年里，它们正在积极寻找潜在的买家（在日本），以便为一项合作努力启动外部供资。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. A key objective of our ACERT Center is to disseminate the state-of-the-art instrumental technologies that we have developed, so that other laboratories can perform a wider range of experiments, and with greater efficiency. Given the limited resources of the Center, at this time it is not realistic for us to disseminate our proprietary instrumentation developments in the form of commissioned spectrometer construction projects for other research groups. To address this limitation, we have an ongoing dialogue with the Japanese instrument company JEOL, who has expressed interest in upgrading their current line of ESR spectrometers with our help. They have signed a non-disclosure agreement with us, and we have provided detailed specifications for designs of our spectrometers that would be appropriate for commercial dissemination. These include an 8 to 18 GHz heterodyne pulsed and FT spectrometer, a high-power 95 GHz cw/pulsed spectrometer, cw bridges operating at 140 and 240 GHz, and related sub-systems. Our objective would be technology transfer with JEOL in consideration of financial support from them for instrumentation research and deveolpment which is relevant to our mutual interest . While they do not presently have internally budgeted funds for this purpose, during the coming year they are actively seeking potential buyers (in Japan) to initiate external funding of a collaborative effort.
