SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Air Force intends to 
grant the exclusive patent license agreement for the invention 
described in: U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 18/539,778, filed 
December 14, 2023, and entitled ``Systems and Methods for Fault 
Detection and Mitigation Using Adaptive and Real-Time Degeneracy''.

Abstract of Patent Application

    Systems and methods disclosed herein provide training an artificial 
neural network (ANN) on buffered input and output samples of an 
original component within a system such that the ANN is configured to 
produce a degenerate component, the degenerate component configured to 
generate the same outputs as the original component; comparing the 
outputs from the original component to outputs of the degenerative 
component during actual component operation; and in the event of a 
failure of the original comment, replacing the original component with 
the degenerate component.
    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed 
license.
    Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404.

Tommy W. Lee,
Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
