362 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 12 the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Mr. Steger, Governor Walker. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY PATENT COMMITTEE (30) The University Patent Committee submits the following recommendations relating to patentable inventions by members of the staff. I concur in these recommendations. The Committee on Patents of the Board of Trustees has examined the disclosure documents and other background materials related to these inventions and recommends approval. 1. Non-Stop Scanning Technique for Use on an Infra-red Light Beam x-y Touch-Activated Position Encoder for Computer—Frederick A. Ebeling, Graduate Research Assistant in the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory, Urbana-Champaign, James H. Parry, Research Associate in the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory, Urbana-Champaign, and Roger L. Johnson, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Research Assistant Professor in the Coordinated Science Laboratory and in the Computer-based Education Research Laboratory, Urbana-Champaign, inventors. A patent application has been filed on this idea, and University Patents, Inc., reports that the potential market for this invention is great, since it is related to the PLATO invention. Accordingly, the University Patent Committee recommends that the rights of the University in this invention be transferred to the University of Illinois Foundation for commercial exploitation. 2. One-step Process for Preparation of Biodegradable Asymmetrical Analogues of DDT — Robert L. Metcalf, Professor of Biology in the School of Life Sciences and Professor of Entomology and Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology and Research Professor in the Institute of Environmental Studies, Urbana-Champaign, and Ashalata S. Hirwe, Research Associate in Entomology, Urbana-Champaign, inventors; developed under the sponsorship of the Rockefeller Foundation. A patent application has been filed on this idea and University Patents, Inc., feels that it has great potential. Accordingly, the University Patent Committee recommends that the rights of the University in this invention be transferred to the University of Illinois Foundation for commercial exploitation, subject to the rights of the sponsor. 3. (a) Use of Radiodense Fluorocarbon Molecules as X-ray Contrast Material and (b) Emulsion System of Perfluorocarbon Compounds — David M. Long, Jr., inventor. The second invention was developed under the sponsorship of the 3M Company. On March 20, 1970, the Board of Trustees assigned its rights in the first invention to the University of Illinois Foundation and, on January 19, 1972, it assigned its rights in the second invention to the Foundation, subject to the rights of the 3M Company. The University Patent Committee recommends that Dr. Long, who has worked on these inventions since 1957, be awarded 20 per cent of the net cash income to the Foundation. 4. Persistent, Biodegradable Analogues of DDT Insecticide — Robert L. Metcalf, Professor of Biology in the School of Life Sciences and Professor of Entomology and Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology and Research Professor in the Institute of Environmental Studies, Urbana-Champaign, Ashalata S. Hirwe, Research Associate in Entomology, Urbana-Champaign, and Inder P. Kapoor, formerly Research Associate in Zoology, Urbana-Champaign, inventors; developed under the sponsorship of the Rockefeller Foundation. On April 21, 1971, the Board of Trustees transferred the rights of the University in this invention to the University of Illinois Foundation. The Committee feels that the invention was developed in the course of the inventors' normal activities as employees of the University. Accordingly, the Committee recommends 18 per cent of income be distributed to the three inventors (6 per cent each) based on past practice where multiple inventors exist. On motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved.
