What is Technology Gateway?

Technology GatewayAt NASA Langley Research Center, we believe that "Technology" means more than a piece of hardware or software. It's also the people and facilities that make technologies take shape and be successful. That's why we are a "Technology Gateway." A place for the answers to your technology challenges and problems.



PARTNERSHIP MECHANISMS

When you've found the right technology, what's next? We have a number of options for working together. While each mechanism has unique terms and conditions, all are designed to help you get the most benefit from NASA's cutting-edge technologies and expertise.

This is just a short list. You don't have to make the decision, and we'll work with you to determine which one is appropriate.
  • Space Act Agreements
  • Cooperative R&D Agreements (CRADAs)
  • Licenses (patents, copyrights)
  • Software Usage Agreements
  • Small Business Contracts (SBIR/STTR)
  • Standard Procurements
  • Intergovernmental Personnel Act Mobility Program


PARTNERSHIP BENEFITS

What are the mutual benefits?
  • Reduces R&D costs by drawing on existing technology resources

Doing Business With Langley



NASA's Method for a Clean Nuclear Energy For Your Power Operated Technology


NASA's Method for Enhancement of Surface Plasmon Polaritons to Initiate & Sustain LENR in Metal Hydride Systems, a clean nuclear energy for your power operated technology.

While the world is drastically dependent on fossil fuel, researchers at NASA Langley Research Center are working on another way of producing energy efficient nuclear power.


Laser Remote Systems Specialist 3-D Super Resolution Algorithm for Flash LIDAR Image Enhancement


Laser Remote Systems Specialist 3-D Super Resolution Algorithm for Flash LIDAR Image Enhancement

To precisely navigate and safely land vehicles on planets and near earth objects, researchers at NASA Langley Research Center have developed a 3-D Super Resolution Algorithm for Flash LIDAR Image Enhancement.


Thermally-Activated Crack Healing Mechanism for Metallic Materials


Thermally-Activated Crack Healing Mechanism for Metallic Materials

To stop fatigue cracks from growing in metallic structures, researchers at NASA Langley Research Center have developed a heat-activated healing system.


Micro-Ring Thin-Film Spectrometer Array


Micro-Ring Thin-Film Spectrometer Array

For most conventional spectrometers-size is related to resolution. The higher the resolution you need, the larger the spectrometer you'll use. But, researchers at NASA Langley Research Center have developed an innovative system that provides rapid multi-spectral analysis and hyper spectral imaging at one time, yet the system is as small as the head of a pin.


Compact Active Vibration Control System


Compact Active Vibration Control System

While they work on improving the safety of flight systems, NASA scientists are also working hard to improve the comfort for passengers and crew who board aerial navigational structures. With the Compact Active Vibration Control System, researchers at NASA Langley Research Center have devised a way to suppress the vibration of flexible structures.


A Highly Accurate Position Detection and Shape Sensing with Fiber Optics


NASA Langley NASA Langley's Highly Accurate Position Detection and Shape Sensing with Fiber Optics

A Novel method for determining position, shape, and curvature. NASA Langley Research Center has demonstrated a patent pending method and apparatus for determining the position, in three dimensions, of any point on an optical fiber. The new method uses low reflectance Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) strain sensors in a multi-core fiber to determine how any point along that fiber is positioned in space...


NASA Langley Innovation Fund Projects


NASA Langley Innovation Fund Research Projects At Langley, we're not just working on innovative solutions for today. We're also looking ahead at the technical challenges we'll all face in the future. Recently, 10 of our researchers received funding to explore some very unique concepts from amorphous robots to wind energy harvesting.


Accelerating nanotechnology through computational guidance


Nanotechnology
To become a leader in the nanotechnology field, Langley has built state-of-the-art laboratories and assembled a highly skilled team of researchers. These resources are available to your organization through innovative partnership opportunities. Check out some of the cutting edge nanotechnology being worked at Langley right now!


Each year infants and small children die because they have been left in vehicles. As a result, Langley developed a safety device, called a "Child Presence Sensor," that would alert parents who inadvertently leave their infants and small children strapped in car seats.

Originally, inspired by aircraft flight test technology, the uses precision materials and electronics to sense when a child is seated in a car infant or booster seat after the driver has left the vehicle.
