In May of 2004, Nytec, Inc. of Seattle, Washington, licensed Goddard's capaciflector technologies to enhance its customers' products. Technology Description Goddard’s capaciflector is used to sense distance between objects. The technology is highly precise, rugged, and durable. It has performed flawlessly on several NASA missions in extreme environments. It also is useful in a wide range of industries, including automotive, industrial robotics, and security. Technology Transfer/Partnership Success Nytec has a prototype license agreement for the capaciflector. Under this agreement, Nytec may make prototype capaciflectors for its customers’ applications, such as collision avoidance and “smart” valves, airbags, and other devices. If those customers find that the technology meets their needs, they will license it directly from Goddard “Nytec does the best capaciflector sensor work I have seen to date,” said inventor John Vranish (Code 544). “They achieved the highest sensitivity and stability yet and all in record time. Equally important, the sensor array input, output, and management is all digital, which shows exceptional software and digital expertise.” Contact Innovative Partnerships Program Office
