TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER WITH JEOL

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 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，以便其他实验室可以进行更广泛的实验，并提高效率。鉴于该中心资源有限，目前我们不可能以委托光谱仪建设项目的形式向其他研究小组传播我们的专有仪器开发成果。为了解决这一限制，我们正在与日本仪器公司JEOL进行对话，该公司已表示有兴趣在我们的帮助下升级他们目前的ESR光谱仪系列。他们已经与我们签署了保密协议，我们已经提供了适合商业传播的光谱仪设计的详细规格。其中包括一台8-18 GHz外差脉冲和FT光谱仪、一台高功率95 GHz连续波/脉冲光谱仪、在140 GHz和240 GHz工作的CW桥，以及相关的子系统。我们的目标是与JEOL进行技术转让，考虑到他们为仪器研究和开发提供的财政支持，这与我们的共同利益有关。虽然他们目前没有用于这一目的的内部预算资金，但在未来一年里，他们正在积极寻找潜在的买家(在日本)，以启动合作努力的外部资金。

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.
