Title: Thermometer Based On
Dielectric Electromagnetic Resonators.
Abstract: The invention provides a
new and innovative sapphire
whispering gallery thermometer (SWGT)
that is very robust and resistant to
mechanical shock. The intrinsic
frequency temperature dependence of
the synthetic sapphire permittivity,
coupled with the ease of locating the
resonant frequency of a high-Q
resonator, allows for the use of a
whispering gallery mode resonator as a
thermometer rather than as a frequency
source. The temporal stability of
sapphire as the thermometry material
provides excellent long-term
thermometric reproducibility.
Temperature sensitivity and stability of
response, as exhibited by measurement
uncertainty determination, of less than
10 mK have been demonstrated.
[NIST Docket Number: 07–012US]
Title: Length Separation of Carbon
Nanotubes by Centrifugation in a Dense
Liquid.
Abstract: The invention provides a
method for separating carbon nanotubes
by length. The processes involve
forming highly dispersed systems of the
nanotubes followed by creating an array
of layers in a centrifugation vessel.
[NIST Docket Number: 07–013US]
Title: Microfluidic Passive Sorting
and Storage of Liquid Plugs Using
Capillary Force.
Abstract: A three-dimensional
microfluidic device for passive sorting
and storing of liquid plugs is provided
with homogeneous surfaces from the
exposure of a photopolymer through
binary masking motifs, i.e., arrays of
opaque pixels on a transparency mask.
The device includes sub-millimeter
three-dimensional relief microstructures
to aid in the channeling of fluids. The
microstructures have topographically
modulated features smaller than 100
micrometers.

Title: Fabrication Method of
Topographically Modulated
Microstructures Using Pattern
Homogenization With UV Light.
Abstract: The invention consists of a
photolithographic technique for the
fabrication of microstructures with
arbitrary topography, which utilizes UV
light and a binary transparency mask
designed to trigger a homogenization
effect on a photopolymer.

Notice of public meeting.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app.
2, notice is hereby given that the
Manufacturing Extension Partnership
(MEP) Advisory Board, National
Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) will meet Wednesday, October
22, 2008, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The
MEP Advisory Board is composed of 10
members appointed by the Director of
NIST who were selected for their
expertise in the area of industrial
extension and their work on behalf of
smaller manufacturers. The Board was
established to fill a need for outside
input on MEP. MEP is a unique program
consisting of centers across the United
States and Puerto Rico, with
partnerships at the state, federal, and
local levels. The Board works closely
with MEP to provide input and advice
on MEP’s programs, plans, and policies.
For this meeting, discussions will focus
on updates of MEP current key
initiatives, MEP’s next generation
strategic plan and opportunities for MEP
in emerging industries. The agenda may
change to accommodate Board business.
The meeting will convene
October 22, 2008 at 11 a.m. and will
adjourn at 5 p.m. on October 22, 2008.
DATES:
The meeting will be held at
The Inn & Conference Center, University
of Maryland University College, 3501
University Blvd E, Adelphi, Maryland
20783. Anyone wishing to attend this
meeting should submit name, e-mail
address and phone number to Susan
Hayduk (susan.hayduk@nist.gov or 301–
975–5615) no later than October 17,
2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July
15, 2008, the National Institute of
Standards and Technology’s (NIST)
Technology Innovation Program (TIP)
announced that it was soliciting highrisk, high reward research and
development proposals for financial
assistance (73 FR 40507). The due date
for submission of all proposals was 3
p.m. Eastern Time, Thursday,
September 4, 2008. Due to technical
difficulties some proposers were unable
