The United States of America is an assignee to the patent rights of these inventions. The contemplated exclusive license may be limited to devices for the detection of hematomas. Upon the expiration or termination of the start-up exclusive evaluation license, ArcheOptix will have the right to execute a start-up exclusive patent commercialization license with no greater field of use and territory than granted in the evaluation license. DATES: Only written comments and/or applications for a license that are received by the NIH Office of Technology Transfer on or before June 25, 2013 will be considered. ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of the patent application, inquiries, comments and other materials relating to the contemplated license should be directed to: Michael Shmilovich, Esq., Senior Licensing and Patent Manager, Office of Technology Transfer, National Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, MD 20852–3804; Telephone: (301) 435–5019; Facsimile: (301) 402–0220; Email: shmilovm@mail.nih.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The invention is a device and method for detecting hematomas based on near infrared light emitted perpendicularly into a tissue from a non-stationary emitter and on continuous detection of the reflected light with a non-stationary probe. The device is designed as a handheld detector that can be used either in an ER or at the scene of an accident, which will allow the Doctor or EMT to diagnose hematoma for patients with a traumatic brain injury at the scene. Furthermore, this device can be utilized to discriminate between subdural, epidural and bi-lateral hematomas. The specific combination and sequences of data analysis are performed to discriminate healthy tissue from tissue perfused with blood. This invention will result in a better triage and treatment for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and fills a must filled gap in TBI health care. The prospective exclusive evaluation option license is being considered under the small business initiative launched on October 1, 2011 and will comply with the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.
