DEVELOPMENTS AT NIST Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a number of new devices and methods involving a variety of technologies. In certain cases, other parties have participated in the development of these technologies. NIST may enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with interested parties to perform further research on the invention for purposes of commercialization. NIST may grant CRADA Partners an option to negotiate for exclusive licenses to any jointly owned inventions which arise from the CRADA as well as an option to negotiate for exclusive royalty-bearing licenses for NIST employee inventions which arise from the CRADA. Anyone interested in the further development of any of these technologies or in applying for a license to commercialize these technologies should sent a written request for further information, referencing the NIST Docket Number and Title, to: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Industrial Partnerships Program, Building 820, Room 213, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899; Telecopy: 301-869-2751. NIST DOCKET NUMBER: 98-024PA, Title: Control Method Adaptations to Single Point Lift Mechanisms, Description: A load control method that can be adapted to single point lift mechanisms such as boom cranes can precisely control the position, velocity and force of a spreader bar or other tools (e.g. grippers, electromagnets, and/or saws) in six degrees of freedom. Winches can be controlled manually by a multi-axis joystick, or can be automatically controlled by computer. Various combinations of manual and automatic control can also be implemented.
