Licensing
BILLING CODE 3510–13–P
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards
and Technology, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of jointly owned
invention available for licensing.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
SUMMARY: The invention listed below is
jointly owned by the U.S. Government,
as represented by the Department of
Commerce, and the University of
California, Berkeley, the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory, the
University of Colorado, and Protiro. The
Department of Commerce’s interest in
the invention is available for licensing
in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 207 and 37
CFR part 404 to achieve expeditious
commercialization of results of federally
funded research and development.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Technical and licensing information on
this invention may be obtained by
writing to: National Institute of
Standards and Technology, Office of
Technology Partnerships, Building 222,
Room A242, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.
Information is also available via
telephone: 301–975–2649, fax 301–975–
3482, or e- mail:
nathalie.rioux@nist.gov. Any request for
information should include the NIST
Docket number or Patent number and
title for the invention as indicated
below. The invention available for
licensing is:

Title: Integrated Microchip
Incorporating Atomic Magnetometers
and Microfluidic Channels for Detection
of NMR and MRI.
Abstract: A microfluidic chip
incorporating an alkali vapor cell and
microfluidic channel is described,
which can be used to detect the nuclear
magnetism of a polarized sample of
nuclei in a fluid. Small magnetic fields
in the vicinity of the vapor cell can be
measured by optically polarizing and
probing the spin precession in said
small magnetic field. This can then be
used to detect the magnetic field due to
the sample of nuclei in the adjacent
microfluidic channel. The nuclear
magnetism in the microfluidic channel
can be modulated by applying an
appropriate series of radio or audio
frequency pulses upstream from the
microfluidic chip to yield a sensitive
means of detecting nuclear magnetic
resonance and magnetic resonance
imaging.

Advisory Committee on Earthquake
Hazards Reduction Meeting
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards
and Technology, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of open meeting.
SUMMARY: The Advisory Committee on
Earthquake Hazards Reduction (ACEHR
or Committee), will hold a conference
call meeting on Tuesday, January 5,
2010, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time (EST). The primary
purpose of this meeting is to review the
Committee’s draft letter to the NIST
Director on achieving national
resilience. The draft letter will be posted
on the NEHRP Web site at https://
nehrp.gov/. Interested members of the
public will be able to participate in the
meeting from remote locations by
calling into a central phone number.
DATES: The ACEHR will hold a
conference call meeting on Tuesday,
January 5, 2010, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time (EST). The
meeting will be open to the public.
Interested parties may participate in the
meeting from their remote location.
Questions regarding the
meeting should be sent to National
Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program
Director, National Institute of Standards
and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Mail
Stop 8630, Gaithersburg, Maryland
20899–8630. For instructions on how to
participate in the meeting, please see
the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
Jack Hayes, National Earthquake
Hazards Reduction Program Director,
National Institute of Standards and
Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Mail
Stop 8630, Gaithersburg, Maryland
20899–8630. Dr. Hayes’ e-mail address
is jack.hayes@nist.gov and his phone
number is (301) 975–5640.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Committee was established in
accordance with the requirements of
Section 103 of the NEHRP
Reauthorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L.
108–360). The Committee is composed
of 15 members appointed by the

Director of NIST, who were selected for
their technical expertise and experience,
established records of distinguished
professional service, and their
knowledge of issues affecting the
National Earthquake Hazards Reduction
Program. In addition, the Chairperson of
the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
Scientific Earthquake Studies Advisory
Committee (SESAC) serves in an exofficio capacity on the Committee. The
Committee assesses:
• Trends and developments in the
science and engineering of earthquake
hazards reduction;
• The effectiveness of NEHRP in
performing its statutory activities
(improved design and construction
methods and practices; land use
controls and redevelopment; prediction
techniques and early-warning systems;
coordinated emergency preparedness
plans; and public education and
involvement programs);
• Any need to revise NEHRP; and
• The management, coordination,
implementation, and activities of
NEHRP.
Background information on NEHRP
and the Advisory Committee is available
at https://nehrp.gov/.
Pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. app., notice is
hereby given that the Advisory
Committee on Earthquake Hazards
Reduction (ACEHR) will hold a
conference call meeting on Tuesday,
January 5, 2010, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time (EST). There will
be no central meeting location. The
public is invited to participate in the
meeting by calling in from remote
locations. The primary purpose of this
meeting is to review the Committee’s
draft letter to the NIST Director on
achieving national resilience. The draft
letter will be posted on the NEHRP Web
site at https://nehrp.gov/.
Individuals and representatives of
organizations who would like to offer
comments and suggestions related to the
Committee’s affairs are invited to
request detailed instructions on how to
dial in from a remote location to
participate in the meeting.
Approximately fifteen minutes will be
