Newsletter #20

Words From The Editor

Dear Colleague,

    Please find the first Eucass newsletter for Fall 2016. In addition to the usual materials, you will find enclosed a couple of communications directly from our Eucass about our upcoming events.

    The regular section about recently published patents of interest takes a hiatus this issue since we draw your attention to theretofore unreported news concerning the release of many NASA patents into the public domain.

NASA releases some of its patents into public domain

News from Eucass

    The last Advanced Thematic Workshop on Fundamentals of Collisions of Fast Particles with Surfaces has been held in Aussois this September. 

 

    It had recourse to a novel way of treating the topic, by gathering leading specialists in completely different applications, ranging from detonation of energetic materials to reentry physics, plasma propulsion or tokamak confinement. All have recourse to very similar theoretical, experimental and numerical approaches and yet had so far never interacted with one another. In the end, exceptionally interesting lectures were given and scientific exchange was extremely lively and fertile.

    This workshop formula will  now be generalised to other cutting edge domains of interest to aerospace.

 

    Prior publications of the invited speakers and some of the presentations are available for registered participants at the event webpage. Not all the contributions have already been uploaded, so make sure to check the page from time to time..

ATW 2017

    Next year ATW (the 6th), on the other hand, goes back to the classical thematic of the previous workshops (2009-2011-2013-2015), focusing on the Fundamentals of Aerodynamic Flow and Combustion Control by Plasmas.

   

    You can find the first announcement on our website at the address https://www.eucass.eu/atw17. 

 

    For the first time the workshop moves out of France to St Petersbourg, Russia. The local organiser website is available at http://onlinereg.ru/ATW-2017.

Eucass 2017

    For the 7th edition of our main congress, registrations and abstracts submissions are open at the organiser website https://eucass.eu/2017.

 

    Abstracts submissions will close the 15th of December, for a conference that will highlight advances in aeronautics and space sciences in five parallel symposia dealing with aspects of:

  • System Integration
  • Flight Physics
  • Flight Dynamics/ GNC and Avionics
  • Structures and Materials
  • Propulsion Physics​

NASA releases some of its patents into public domain

    NASA has released recently up to 56 currently valid patents into the public domain to benefit the U.S. Industry.

 

    An excerpt of the announcement is the following:

By making these technologies available in the public domain, we are helping foster a new era of entrepreneurship that will again place America at the forefront of high-tech manufacturing and economic competitiveness, said Daniel Lockney, NASA s Technology Transfer program executive. By releasing this collection into the public domain, we are encouraging entrepreneurs to explore new ways to commercialize NASA technologies. 

    To search the database of NASA-developed technologies now in the public domain, visit:

http://technology.nasa.gov/publicdomain

 

    To learn more about the Technology Transfer Program, visit:

http://technology.nasa.gov

 

    It is not the first time that a major actor in some technological sector acts in such a way, even if the aims could be different.

 

    Last year Toyota announced to the world that everybody could use its over 5000 patents related to Hydrogen car without paying any royalty. 

 

    In the case of Toyota, the aim was to jump-start the development of Hydrogen powered cars: they depend massively from a distribution network of Hydrogen that is simply not existent at the moment. 

 

    Opening their massive patent portfolio to the competitors, Toyota hopes that other car manufacturers would follow suit and that a critical mass for the deployment of a vast distribution network of the combustible gas could be reached.

 

    In the case of NASA opening their patents is possibly a way to encourage even more the private sector to invest massively into space, in a moment where governmental subsidies are being reduced.
