Frame 1 Graphic: animation of spinning turbo engine blades  
Frame 2 Bulleted slide titled goal. Bulleted text reads, develop and transfer revolutionary propulsion technologies. Graphic image of a trophy cup underneath text.  The goal of the Ultra-Efficient Engine Technology (UEET) Project is to develop and transfer revolutionary propulsion technologies that will enable future generations of commercial, military, and access to space air-breathing propulsion systems.
Frame 3 Bulleted slide titled UEET Intellectual Property Management Handbook. Bulleted text reads, provides broadest dissemination of technologies. Graphic image of the cover of handbook.   The UEET Intellectual Property Management (IPM) Handbook provides the strategy, in a balanced way, to adequately protect technologies which are deemed to be sensitive from either a military or economic-competitiveness standpoint. This technique allows us the broadest dissemination of non-sensitive technologies.
Frame 4 Graphic: Slide titled management and administration. Graphic image of highlighted box emphasizing the project manager's overall responsibility. Furthermore, the UEET Intellectual Property Management Handbook details the required strategy, implementation and supporting policies and procedures to all NASA personnel, on-site performance-based contractors (PBCs) and on-site university contractors and grantees.
Frame 5 Bulleted slide titled UEET handbook objectives . Bulleted text reads, protects technologies and provides a reference. Graphic image of the cover of handbook.  The objectives of the handbook are clear. The handbook ensures that reasonable efforts are exerted to protect the sensitive project information developed by NASA or the project's industry and academia partners. It also provides a reference for all participants. Note: All participants must implement IPM measures to ensure adequate protection of "sensitive" information.
Frame 6 Bulleted slide titled UEET online course. Bulleted text reads, developed from the UEET handbook. Graphic image of the cover of handbook.  In order to ensure the highest quality, this online course was developed directly from the UEET Intellectual Property Management Handbook.
Frame 7 Bulleted slide titled training. Bulleted text reads, intellectual property officer provides training. Graphic image of the cover of handbook.  This course implements, and is in accordance with, all applicable U.S. government regulations, NASA Policy Directives and NASA Procedures and Guidelines by which sensitive information is controlled and accessed with a minimum effect on the UEET Project goal.
Frame 8 Bulleted slide titled UEET online course. Bulleted text reads, access is restricted. Graphic image of the cover of handbook. Access to sensitive information generated in this course will be restricted to the extent permitted by applicable federal law. This course does not supersede any existing U.S. government regulations or provisions of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended.
Frame 8 Graphic: Titled note. Graphic image of computer screen emphasizing the acronym list section on the screen. Please note that we have developed an acronym list to help you when reviewing this course. Please click on the Acronym icon now to become familiar with the format and contents.

Content of Button Product Overview

Frame Graphic Text
Frame 1 Bulleted slide titled project overview. Bulleted text reads, objective one, address local air-quality concerns. Graphic image of spinning turbine blades in background. The first objective of the UEET Project is to address local air-quality concerns by developing technologies to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by 70 percent at landing and takeoff (LTO) conditions, from the 1996 International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, with comparable reduction of NOx emissions in cruise operation.
Frame 2 Bulleted slide titled project overview. Bulleted text reads, objective two, address potential of long-term climate impact. Graphic image of spinning turbine blades in background. The second objective of the UEET Project is to address the potential of climate impact on long-term aviation growth by providing critical propulsion technologies to reduce overall fuel burn by 15 percent for large subsonic transport and by 8 percent for high-speed and/or small subsonic aircraft, based on 1997 production capabilities.

Content of Button Training
Frame Graphic Text
Frame 1 Bulleted slide titled training. Graphic image of professor pointing to a blackboard. Text on blackboard reads Intellectual Property Officer provides training. All NASA personnel, on-site PBCs and on-site contractors and grantees supporting the UEET Project will be trained by the IPO, supported by the TCS and TSS, in the UEET IPM strategy, approach and supporting policies and procedures in the Intellectual Property Management Handbook.
Frame 2 Bulleted slide titled training. Graphic image of professor pointing to a blackboard. Additional text on blackboard reads Technology Security Specialist provides training material. The appropriate subproject manager will contact the TSS, who will furnish all new personnel the UEET IPM Handbook and UEET IPM Training package. All new project participants must review the material, complete and sign the UEET Participant Agreement and return it to the TSS.
Frame 3 Bulleted slide titled training. Graphic image of professor pointing to a blackboard. Additional text on blackboard reads Participant signs agreement after receiving training. Each UEET Project participant is required to sign an agreement after receiving training. This agreement documents that UEET Project participants understand their responsibilities and agree to use reasonable efforts to protect sensitive project information from unauthorized disclosure. All participants are accountable for providing appropriate and adequate protection of IP.
Frame 4 Bulleted slide titled access to information. Graphic of PDA entitled UEET Workbook. Clicking on graphic sends student to workbook.pdf As we mentioned, each UEET Project participant is required to sign an agreement after receiving training. Please click the above icon and print the Participant Agreement in your UEET Workbook. Upon successful completion of the course, you are required to fill out this document and return it to your TSS.
Frame 5 Bulleted slide titled training. Graphic image of professor pointing to a blackboard. Additional text on blackboard reads annual training refreshers. An annual training refresher will capture any changes made to the UEET IPM Handbook or to the Project's IPM policies and procedures. Furthermore, the annual training refresher will remind all personnel of their responsibilities and the importance of protecting the Project's sensitive information.
