The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless, within thirty days from the date of this published Notice, NIST receives written evidence and argument which establish that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.

U.S. Patent No. 5,620,857 is owned by the U.S. government, as represented by the Secretary of Commerce. Tightly focused beams of laser light are used as ‘‘optical tweezers’’ to trap and manipulate polarizable objects such as microspheres of glass or latex with diameters on the order of 4.5 .mu.m. When analytes are allowed to adhere to the microspheres, small quantities of these analytes can be manipulated, thus allowing their detection and quantitation even when amounts and concentrations of the analytes are extremely small. Illustrative examples include measuring the strength needed to break antibody-antigen bonds and the detection of DNA sequences.

ACTION: Request for workshop recommendations. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) invites interested parties to submit recommendations for workshops covering specific sectors and targeted countries or regions of the world where training in the U.S. system of standards development, conformity assessment, PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and metrology may facilitate trade. Prospective workshops will be scheduled for a one week period. This notice is not an invitation for proposals to fund grants, contracts or cooperative agreements of any kind. NIST will offer a limited number of workshops, based upon the availability of resources. Recommenders are encouraged to consider Administration priorities outlined in the 2006 National Export Strategy. NIST will consider recommendations based upon which workshops would be most useful to intended audiences. DATES: All recommendations must be submitted no later than 5 p.m., June 21, 2007. ADDRESSES: All recommendations must be submitted to Ellen Emard via email(ellen.emard@nist.gov) or by mail to 100 Bureau Drive, Mail Stop 2100, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. The National Export Strategy is available at https:// www.ita.doc.gov/media/publications/. Additional information about the NIST Standards in Trade Workshops, including schedules and summary reports for workshops held to date and participant information, is available at https://ts.nist.gov/standards/global/ sitdescr.cfm. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen Emard (301) 975–4038, ellen.emard@nist.gov. The Standards in Trade Workshops are a major activity of the Global Standards and Information Group in the NIST Standards Services Division. The workshops are designed to provide timely information to foreign standards officials on U.S. practices in standards and conformity assessment. Participants are introduced to U.S. technology and principles in metrology, standards development and application, and conformity assessment systems and procedures. Each workshop is a one week program offering an overview of the roles of the U.S. Government, private sector, and regional and international organizations engaged in standards development and conformity assessment practices. Specific workshop objectives are to: (1) Familiarize participants with U.S. technology and practices in metrology, standardization, and conformity assessment; (2) describe and understand the roles of the U.S. Government and the private sector in developing and implementing standards; (3) understand the structure of the standards and conformity assessment systems in the invited country or countries and the role and responsibilities of organizations SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\22MYN1.SGM 22MYN1
