Navy Department August 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of the Navy is amending its certifications and exemptions under the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate General (Admiralty and Maritime Law) has determined that USS PROVIDENCE (SSN 719) is a vessel of the Navy which, due to its special construction and purpose, cannot fully comply with certain provisions of the 72 COLREGS without interfering with its special function as a naval ship. The intended effect of this rule is to warn mariners in waters where 72 COLREGS apply.

The Department of the Navy hereby gives notice of its intent to grant to AmberWave Systems Corporation, a revocable, nonassignable, exclusive license to practice in the field of use of substrates for optoelectronic devices, radio frequency amplifiers and power transistors; and of optoelectronic devices in the United States, the Government-owned inventions described in U.S. Patent No. 6,323,108: Fabrication of Ultra-Thin Bonded Semiconductor Layers, Navy Case No. 78,980.//U.S. Patent No. 6,328,796: Single Crystal Material on Non- Single Crystalline Substrate, Navy Case No. 78,978.//U.S. Patent No. 6,497,763: Electronic Device with Composite Substrate, Navy Case No. 82,672.//U.S. Patent No. 6,593,212: Method for Making Electro-Optical Devices Using a Hydrogen Ion Splitting Technique, Navy Case No. 79,639.//U.S. Patent No. 7,358,152: Wafer Bonding of Thinned Electronic Materials and Circuits to High Performance Substrate, Navy Case No. 84,023.//U.S. Patent No. 7,535,100: Wafer Bonding of Thinned Electronic Materials and Circuits to High Performance Substrates, Navy Case No. 84,023 and any continuations, divisionals or re-issues thereof.
