A NASA LENR-related patent application that lists Dr. Joseph Zawodny as Inventor, senior staff physicist
at NASA-LaRC, was published by the USPTO on October 20, 2011.

What is significant about this recently unveiled patent activity by a U.S. government agency is that NASA
clearly believes that LENRs are real phenomena, that they are potentially commercially valuable for
power generation applications, and that it is worth it for NASA to spend taxpayer dollars in an attempt to
secure an early patent position for the U.S. government. In addition, careful reading of US #20110255645
makes it abundantly clear that the device physics underlying NASA’s application is directly derived from
the Widom-Larsen theory of LENRs. In fact, Lattice patent US #7,893,414 B2, “Apparatus and Method for
Absorption of Incident Gamma Radiation and its Conversion to Outgoing Radiation at Less Penetrating,
Lower Energies and Frequencies”, inventors: Lewis Larsen and Allan Widom, issued February 22, 2011,
is cited in [0020] as prior art and incorporated in its entirety as part of NASA’s patent application.

The following quotes taken directly from this application are instructive and very revealing:

[0006] ...More recently, the energy associated with "low energy nuclear reactions" (LENR) has been
linked to the production of heavy electrons. Briefly, this theory put forth by Widom and Larsen states that
the initiation of LENR activity is due to the coupling of "surface plasmon polaritons" (SPPs) to a proton or
deuteron resonance in the lattice of a metal hydride. The theory goes on to describe the production of
heavy electron that undergo electron capture by a proton. This activity produces a neutron that is
subsequently captured by a nearby atom transmuting it into a new element and releasing positive net
energy in the process. See A. Widom et al. "Ultra Low Momentum Neutron Catalyzed Nuclear Reactions
on Metallic Hydride Surface," European Physical Journal C-Particles and Fields, 46, pp. 107-112, 2006,
and U.S. Pat. No. 7,893,414 issued to Larsen et al. Unfortunately, such heavy electron production has
only occurred in small random regions or patches of sample materials/devices. In terms of energy
generation or gamma ray shielding, this limits the predictability and effectiveness of the device. Further,
random-patch heavy electron production limits the amount of positive net energy that is produced to limit
the efficiency of the device in an energy generation application.

[0007] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of making a device that
produces heavy electrons.

[0021] ...The present invention provides a method of making devices that can produce heavy electrons in
a predictable/controllable fashion across an entire surface or volume of the device. In general, device 10
includes a selected material system 12 that is incorporated onto/into a tuned structure 14 that supports
propagation of SPPs and resulting heavy electron production that is sustained by device 10 across and/or
through the entirety thereof.

[0025]... That is, once established, SPP resonance will be self-sustaining so that large power output-to-
input ratios will be possible from device 10.
