Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 30, 2023 / Notices
Abstract of Patent
A load carriage connector and system
for rapid mounting and demounting of
a user-carried load. The connector
utilizes two mating halves comprising a
male connector half and a female
connector half. The connector is
configured to allow mating under
various angles of approach, allowing the
user to reliably couple the system even
under conditions in which the user is
unable to view the orientation of the
connectors. Additionally, the
configuration of the connector system
allows the user to quickly and
efficiently decouple the connector
halves, even while under tensile or
shear load.
The Department of the Air Force may
grant the prospective license unless a
timely objection is received that
sufficiently shows the grant of the
license would be inconsistent with the
Bayh-Dole Act or implementing
regulations. A competing application for
a patent license agreement, completed
in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and
received by the Air Force within the
period for timely objections, will be
treated as an objection and may be
considered as an alternative to the
proposed license.
Tommy W. Lee,
Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison
Officer.
