Soybean Beverage Base — A. I. Nelson, Professor of Food Processing in Food Science, Urbana, M. P.,Steinberg, Professor of Food Engineering in Food Science, Urbana, and L. S. Wei, Associate Professor of Food Science, Urbana, inventors.

On June 20, 1973, the Board of Trustees approved a nonexclusive royalty-free license to G. B. Pant University to make, use, and sell the product in India. The Committee recommends 18 per cent of the Foundation's share of the net income from the invention be distributed to the three inventors (6 per cent each) based on past practice where multiple inventors exist. 2.

Stahl, formerly Graduate Research Assistant in the Coordinated Science Laboratory, Urbana, inventor; developed under the sponsorship of the Joint Services Electronics Program. University Patents, Inc., recommends that the rights be released to the inventor because the possible patent protection would not support licensing of the invention.

Syringe Injection Guide — Kenneth W. Boyer, Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Electron Microscope Facility and Fellow, School of Life Sciences, inventor; developed under the sponsorship of the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Science Foundation.
