DESCRIPTION
Over $5 billion of federal R&D funds are spent each year at the national laboratories located in New Mexico. These Federal research institutions are a key driver of the economy in New Mexico. This panel will feature representatives from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories and the Air Force Research Laboratory in NM to discuss how each supports initiatives to influence national, state, and local economic competitiveness. The panel will touch on how national laboratories are reducing the barriers to working with industry, better connecting lab technologies to the marketplace, and helping build a vital economy in New Mexico.TRANSCRIPT

Market Transition
Strategic licensing aligns the commercialization effort with the programmatic mission of the Laboratory
Express Licensing provides business access to Laboratory inventions and software to determine if there is a market
Laboratory inventions and software with commercial potential have a better chance of making a transition to the market when an industrial partner
undertakes future development and marketing.
Industry Partner: Chevron ETC and GE
What is the technology? Using swept frequency acoustic interferometry (SFAI), Safire translates sound propagation measurements made at many frequencies into the volumetric flow rate for each component of the fluid, continuously revealing the well’s proportion of oil, gas, and water.
Industry Partner: Engine manufactures (originally Cummins)Over 400 licenses
What is the technology? KIVA is a family of Fortran-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that predicts complex fuel and air flows as well as ignition, combustion, and pollutant-formation processes in engines.
