| ABSTRACT | The invention provides methods and materials for decontamination of surfaces and fabrics, such as non-woven fabrics, that are contaminated with infestations of microorganisms such as bacteria. Biocidal oligomers having conjugated oligo-(aryl/heteroaryl ethynyl) structures and comprising at least one cationic group can be used to decontaminate infested surfaces in the presence of oxygen and, optionally, illumination. Fibers incorporating biocidal oligomers having conjugated oligo-(aryl/heteroaryl ethynyl) structures and comprising at least one cationic group, wherein the oligomer is physically associated with or covalently bonded to, or both, the fiber-forming polymer can be used to form non-woven mats. Biocidal non-woven mats prepared by methods of the invention, incorporating the biocidal oligomers, can be used to suppress bacterial growth in wound and surgical dressings and personal hygiene products. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus can be provided which can include a laser arrangement which can be configured to provide a laser radiation, and can include an optical cavity. The optical cavity can include a dispersive optical first arrangement which can be configured to receive and disperse at least one first electro-magnetic radiation so as to provide at least one second electro-magnetic radiation. Such cavity can also include an active optical modulator second arrangement which can be configured to receive and modulate the at least one second radiation so as to provide at least one third electro-magnetic radiation. The optical cavity can further include a dispersive optical third arrangement which can be configured to receive and disperse at least one third electro-magnetic radiation so as to provide at least one fourth electro-magnetic radiation. For example, actions by the first, second and third arrangements can cause a spectral filtering of the fourth electro-magnetic radiation(s) relative to the first electro-magnetic radiation(s). The laser radiation can be associated with the fourth radiation(s), and a wavelength of the laser radiation can be controlled by the spectral filtering caused by the actions by the first, second and third arrangements. |

| ABSTRACT | Novel cellular solids and foams from amorphous materials with a glass transition temperature (Tg) and methods of forming such materials are provided. In particular, foams are formed by expanding or compressing hollow spheres made of a high strength amorphous material, which is defined as a material having high strength characteristics, but also possessing a glass transition within a confined space. Using such a method, it has been unexpectedly found that it is possible to make cellular structures, including both open and closed cell foams, with customizable properties from materials that have been inaccessible with conventional methods. Moreover, based on calculations high specific strengths and stiffnesses are expected. |

| ABSTRACT | Hydroprocessing can be performed at low pressure using acoustic energy. For example, hydroprocessing a feedstock having one or more hydrocarbon compounds carried in, or mixed with, a transport gas involves flowing the feedstock through a reaction zone in a reactor that has a bulk pressure less than 68 atm and applying acoustic energy through the reaction zone. The hydrocarbon compounds are chemically reacted with a hydrogen source in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the reacting occurs in the reaction zone. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided are modified microorganisms which are modified such that their growth can be controlled using exogenously provided compounds. The microorganisms can be modified by genetic alterations that include a promoter inducible by a first exogenously supplied compound. The promoter can be configured to drive expression of an RNA coding sequence that may be essential to growth of the microorganism. The microorganisms may also be modified to include site specific recombinase recognition sites flanking or within the RNA coding sequence so that expression of the corresponding site specific recombinase will disrupt transcription of the RNA. The site specific recombinase can be configured such that it expression and/or activity is suppressed by a second exogenously supplied compound. Methods of making the modified microorganisms and kits that contain reagents for making and using the modified microorganisms are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | In one aspect, the invention relates to a peptide that forms a calcium-dependent hydrogel using a rationally engineered beta roll peptide. In the absence of calcium, the peptide is intrinsically disordered. Upon addition of calcium, the peptide forms a corkscrew-like structure. In one embodiment, one face of the beta roll is mutated to comprise leucine residues. In some embodiments, a leucine zipper forming helical domain to the engineered beta roll forms hydrogels by physical cross-linking in calcium rich environments. |

| ABSTRACT | An “air-data probe” system measures at least one component of freestream velocity by tracking the motion of a laser-induced breakdown (“LIB”) spark created in a freestream flow. Neutral density filters are positioned or deployed so that the brightness of the initial LIB spark doesn't over saturate the LIB sensor system. This allows for more consistent tracking of the LIB spark throughout the duration of the LIB spark, including the later stages where the LIB spark is not nearly as bright as the initial LIB spark, thereby allowing all or substantially all of the light generated by the LIB spark to reach the sensors. This provides for enhanced visibility and more accurate detection of the LIB spark over time and as air density changes. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for data compression and transmission includes receiving sensor data which is digitized and transformed into a spectrogram. The spectrogram is filtered and converted into a binary representation. A Hough transform is used to find lines in the representation. Related lines are combined, and then converted back into time frequency space. Lines are optimized and composed into a binary message. The binary message can be transmitted and received at a remote location. A reconstructed spectrogram can be created at the remote location from the lines. In other embodiments, parameters such as power, stability, width, and wander can be calculated and transmitted. The reconstructed spectrogram can be displayed along with the parameters. |

| ABSTRACT | A ranging and tracking system and method employs a Coherent Array Reconciliation Tomography (CART) approach that benefits from a series of samples gathered from deployed receivers in an area of interest, and applies a sequence of matrix operations and transformations to data defining locations in a Cartesian grid space for summing constructive characteristics in a received waveform for identifying a leading edge indicative of a time of arrival (TOA) from a signal source, and computing a metric based on the distance to the signal source. Sampled waveform information (data) from multiple locations in the area of interest allows computation of a likelihood metric for each location in the grid space of containing the signal source. Rendering of the grid space location having the highest likelihood metric illustrates a position of the signal source, and may be graphically depicted clustering of the locations depicting a high likelihood. |

| ABSTRACT | An optical switching system comprising a switching cell having first and second fixed-position bus waveguides and a moveable shunt waveguide is disclosed. The first bus waveguide includes an input and a first output. The second bus waveguide includes a second output. When the switching cell is in its unswitched state, the shunt waveguide is not optically coupled with either bus waveguide and a light signal can pass from the input to the first output while remaining in the first bus waveguide. When the switching cell is in its switched state, the shunt waveguide is optically coupled with both bus waveguides such that the light signal is coupled out of the first bus waveguide and into the second bus waveguide via the shunt waveguide. As a result, the light signal can pass from the input to the second output while bypassing the first input. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and methods store initial states and unsafe states (e.g., safety requirements) of a non-linear model of a control system that interacts with a physical system. The system performs simulations of the non-linear model using a set of sampled initial states, to first generate trajectories (numerical approximations of actual behaviors) over bounded time. The system further determines, for respective pairs of neighboring trajectories: an over-approximation of reachable states as an upper bound of a distance between a pair of neighboring trajectories; a linear over-approximation of the reachable states as piece-wise linear segments over a plurality of time intervals; and whether the linear over-approximation overlaps in any of the piece-wise linear segments with the unsafe states, to verify the non-linear model of the control system is safe. |

| ABSTRACT | A communication system comprises a signal generator, polarizer, signal combiner, transmitter, positioning device, and controller. The signal generator converts first and second received data streams into respective first and second orthogonal linearly polarized signals. The polarizer is at a first rotation angle and converts first and second orthogonal linearly polarized signals into, respectively, a first right-hand-circularly polarized (RHCP) signal and first left-hand circularly polarized (LHCP) signal, which are combined in signal combiner into a signal sent by transmitter to a receiver. The positioning device adjusts the first rotation angle to substantially increase isolation between third and fourth orthogonal linearly polarized signals at the receiver. The controller performs the real-time analysis of transmission loss and directs the positioning device to adjust the first rotation angle. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques for treating a tumor and vaccinating against cancer are described. The techniques include treating the tumor by positioning electrodes over an interface between the tumor and non-tumor tissue and applying sub-microsecond pulsed electric fields. The positioning is facilitated by an imaginary contour line of a threshold value of the electric field. In an example, the imaginary contour line is overlaid over images that include the tumor such that the electrodes are properly positioned over the tumor. The techniques also include vaccinating against cancer by passing sub-microsecond pulsed electric fields through tumor cells of a subject sufficient to cause the tumor cells to express calreticulin on surface membranes. The tumor cells are extracted and introduced with the expressed calreticulin into the subject or another subject, thereby providing a vaccination. |

| ABSTRACT | Nanocrystals, compositions, and methods that aid particle transport in mucus are provided. In some embodiments, the compositions and methods involve making mucus-penetrating particles (MPP) without any polymeric carriers, or with minimal use of polymeric carriers. The compositions and methods may include, in some embodiments, modifying the surface coatings of particles formed of pharmaceutical agents that have a low water solubility. Such methods and compositions can be used to achieve efficient transport of particles of pharmaceutical agents though mucus barriers in the body for a wide spectrum of applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostic applications. In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition including such particles is well-suited for administration routes involving the particles passing through a mucosal barrier. |

| ABSTRACT | This application discloses nucleoside analogs that when incorporated into a oligonucleotide, forms a nucleobase pair with either thymidine or cytidine that are present in a complementary strand at the paired position. These analogs are called “purine biversals”. Such compounds and their associated processes have utility in processes that detect complementary oligonucleotides, in particular oligonucleotides from natural sources and in complex biological mixtures, where the sequence of the complementary oligonucleotide being detected is not known precisely. The invention also includes compositions of matter that are oligonucleotides that contain purine biversals of the instant invention, and duplexes of said oligonucleotides. |

| ABSTRACT | A magnetic resonance method and system are provided for providing improved multi-band (MB) magnetic resonance imaging. The adaptive MB imaging can be achieved by providing one or more modified multi-band excitation pulse sequences that include at least either one nullified “dummy” slice within a slab that is not excited simultaneously with the other slices during a single multislice acquisition sequence, or one excitation slice group that utilizes a non-uniform slice spacing between simultaneously excited slices. Adaptive GRAPPA or slice-GRAPPA kernel sizes can also be used during image reconstruction to improve speed without excessive point spread blurring or MB reconstruction failure. A total leakage factor (TLF) can also be determined based on test images using modified MB excitation sequences, and used to improve the adaptive MB procedure. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention relates to methods and devices to define and control the design of a configurable chip module, instrument or systems, for example, for measurement, control and communication systems or any portion thereof. The module may include one or more chip elements. This can be achieved using, for example, a Graphical User interface (GUI), that transforms selections made by the user to a hardware and/or software configuration for the system in a process transparent to the user. This enables implementation of a plurality of devices and larger subsystems on a chip or chip module without specific semiconductor design knowledge from the user. This transformation process is thus accomplished transparently to the user, who operates the GUI to define the measurement or action which needs to be performed thereby resulting in an automatic combination of hardware and/or software elements available to create a specific configuration. |

| ABSTRACT | A risk-based patient monitoring system for critical care patients combines data from multiple sources to assess the current and the future risks to the patient, thereby enabling providers to review a current patient risk profile and to continuously track a clinical trajectory. A physiology observer module in the system utilizes multiple measurements to estimate Probability Density Functions (PDF) of a number of Internal State Variables (ISVs) that describe a components of the physiology relevant to the patient treatment and condition. A clinical trajectory interpreter module in the system utilizes the estimated PDFs of ISVs to identify under which probable patient states the patient can be currently categorized and assign a probability value that the patient will be in each of the identified states. The combination of patient states and their probabilities is defined as the clinical risk to the patient. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides pneumatic shuttering of a focused or collimated aerosol particle stream. The aerosol stream can be collimated by an annular sheath of inert or non-inert gas. The apparatus propagates a sheathed aerosol stream through a series of aerodynamic lenses along the axis of a flow cell. The final lens is typically positioned above a substrate, so that direct material deposition is provided. A substantially perpendicularly-flowing gas external to the aerodynamic lens system is used to redirect the particle stream away from the flow axis and through an exhaust port, thereby shuttering the collimated aerosol stream. The pneumatic shutter enables printing of discreet structures, with on/off shuttering times of approximately 1 to 100 milliseconds. |

| ABSTRACT | A modular space vehicle chassis may facilitate convenient access to internal components of the space vehicle. Each module may be removable from the others such that each module may be worked on individually. Multiple panels of at least one of the modules may swing open or otherwise be removable, exposing large portions of the internal components of the space vehicle. Such chassis architectures may reduce the time required for and difficulty of performing maintenance or modifications, may allow multiple space vehicles to take advantage of a common chassis design, and may further allow for highly customizable space vehicles. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to a system for repairing a damage site on a surface of an optical material. The system may have an Infrared (IR) laser which generates a laser beam having a predetermined wavelength, with a predetermined beam power, and such that the laser beam is focused to a predetermined full width (“F/W”) 1/e2 diameter spot on the damage site. The IR laser may be controlled to maintain the focused IR laser beam on the damage site for a predetermined exposure period corresponding to a predetermined acceptable level of downstream intensification. The laser beam may heat the damage site to a predetermined peak temperature which causes melting and reflowing of material at the damage site to create a mitigated site. |

| ABSTRACT | Hydroprocessing can be performed at low pressure using acoustic energy. For example, hydroprocessing a feedstock having one or more hydrocarbon compounds carried in, or mixed with, a transport gas involves flowing the feedstock through a reaction zone in a reactor that has a bulk pressure less than 68 atm and applying acoustic energy through the reaction zone. The hydrocarbon compounds are chemically reacted with a hydrogen source in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the reacting occurs in the reaction zone. |

| ABSTRACT | A heat pipe augmented passive solar space heating system modulates the temperature inside a building structure, particular during heating seasons when the ambient temperature is below levels customarily associated with adequate room comfort, and in some embodiments comprises a solar absorber, a heat pipe surrounding wholly or partially by insulation, the heat pipe having three main sections which are an evaporator at one end proximal to the solar absorber, a condenser at the other end proximal to an interior room being heated, and a rubber adiabatic section between those. Additional aspects such as a mechanical valve in the adiabatic section are disclosed to limit unwanted thermal gains when cooling is needed because the ambient temperatures already exceed room comfort. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments are directed to comparison-based methods of conditionally assessing the excess in correlation of an unknown neutron count measurement compared to the correlation present in a data defined as background, and to providing a technical definition of excess correlation intended to properly handle the measured excess correlation. The degree of correlation between an unknown source and background can be used to prevent masking of neutron count data for the source by background radiation. |

| ABSTRACT | A system or method for a physical intrusion detection and assessment system is provided for determining a deliberate motion intrusion. The system includes first and second sensing device to sense physical data set within a predetermined space. A transducer module receives the first sensor physical data set and the second sensor physical data set and converts the first and second physical data sets into analog signals representative of the first and second physical data sets. A signal conditioning layer converts the first and second physical data analog signals to digital signals. A processor device correlates the first physical data set and the second physical data set and generates an alarm in response to identification of an intrusion in the space. A method and algorithms are applied to the data sets for determining whether a detected intrusion is associated with deliberate motion rather than random motion. |

| ABSTRACT | The various technologies presented herein relate to mitigating or reducing sidelobe levels during operation of an antenna array. Power coefficients operating across an antenna array are tapered to facilitate a power concentration at central region of the antenna array while power coefficients of a lower magnitude are generated at the periphery of the antenna array. Power coefficient variation can be effected by at least one of electrical path length, number of antennas being powered in a particular antenna subarray, a number of T-splitters incorporated into an electrical path servicing an antenna, etc. Electrical coupling of a pre-T/R stripline and a post-T/R stripline can be achieved in conjunction with operation with a dielectric layer, wherein the dielectric layer acts as a dielectric at the Ku frequency band. Further, phase delay can be applied to at least one electrical signal to facilitate concurrent delivery of power across the antenna array. |

| ABSTRACT | A case for cooling a portable electronic device, the case including a housing and a removable cartridge. The housing holds the electronic device and has a cartridge compartment for retaining the removable cartridge. The removable cartridge includes a set or sets of compartments for retaining substances configured to generate an endothermic reaction when mixed or combined. Pairs of compartments are separated by a divider configured to be selectively breached. The duration of the cooling effect may be extended by periodically breaching dividers of additional compartment pairs. The magnitude of the cooling effect may be increased by breaching multiple compartment pairs at once. The case may also include electronic components for monitoring the temperature of the electronic device and automatically initiating an endothermic reaction when the temperature reaches a predetermined threshold. |

| ABSTRACT | Gas-filled microbubbles can be synthesized using a continuous flow chamber and a sonicator. The resulting microbubble solution can be size-sorted for a particular application, such as injection into a patient for gas delivery thereto. The microbubble solution may be concentrated to have greater than 50% volume gas while maintaining microbubble sizes below 10 μm. Control of the microbubble generation process can yield highly stable microbubbles. The microbubbles may retain over half of their original gas payload for over three weeks while exhibiting minimal change in microbubble size. The systems, methods, and devices described herein thus allow for continuous or batch-wise continuous production of gas-filled microbubbles that readily release their gas payload when introduced into an under-saturated or de-saturated solution. |

| ABSTRACT | A microwave impedance microscope including a tuning fork having a high-aspect ratio etched metal tip electrode extending transversely to one tine of the fork and having a high aspect ratio to thereby reduce parasitic capacitance. The metal tip may be electrochemically etched from a wire, then bonded to the tine. The fork is slightly inclined from the surface of the sample and the tip electrode projects transversely to the fork. A microwave signal is impressed on the tip. Microwave circuitry receives microwave signals reflected from the sample back into the tip and demodulates the reflected signal according to the impressed signal. Further circuitry further demodulates the reflected signal according to the lower-frequency signal causing the fork to oscillate at its mechanically resonant frequency. A multi-wavelength matching circuit interposed between the microwave circuitry and the probe includes a coaxial cable of length half a fundamental microwave wavelength. |

| ABSTRACT | An optical switching system comprising a switching cell having first and second fixed-position bus waveguides and a moveable shunt waveguide is disclosed. The first bus waveguide includes an input and a first output. The second bus waveguide includes a second output. When the switching cell is in its unswitched state, the shunt waveguide is not optically coupled with either bus waveguide and a light signal can pass from the input to the first output while remaining in the first bus waveguide. When the switching cell is in its switched state, the shunt waveguide is optically coupled with both bus waveguides such that the light signal is coupled out of the first bus waveguide and into the second bus waveguide via the shunt waveguide. As a result, the light signal can pass from the input to the second output while bypassing the first input. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques and systems are disclosed for receiving user input related to three co-optimized objectives, factors, or parameters, and translating the user input into weight factors for a tri-variable weighting function. In various embodiments, a triangular user interface element is displayed that allows a user to assign importance weights to three interrelated decision optimization objectives using a single user input selection gesture. Each side of the triangular user interface element presents a factor of the weight function. When the user selects a single position on the perimeter or within the field of the triangular figure in the user interface, weight factors for each of the three interrelated optimization objectives are determined that can be used as weight factors in the tri-variable weighting function. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and methods store initial states and unsafe states (e.g., safety requirements) of a non-linear model of a control system that interacts with a physical system. The system performs simulations of the non-linear model using a set of sampled initial states, to first generate trajectories (numerical approximations of actual behaviors) over bounded time. The system further determines, for respective pairs of neighboring trajectories: an over-approximation of reachable states as an upper bound of a distance between a pair of neighboring trajectories; a linear over-approximation of the reachable states as piece-wise linear segments over a plurality of time intervals; and whether the linear over-approximation overlaps in any of the piece-wise linear segments with the unsafe states, to verify the non-linear model of the control system is safe. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure shows a hybrid regulator topology that can be more easily integrated and that can maintain high efficiency across a wide output and input voltage range, even with a small inductor. The hybrid regulator topology can include two types of regulators: a flying switched-inductor regulator and a step-down regulator that divides the input voltage into an M/N fraction of the input voltage. The disclosed embodiments of the hybrid regulator topology can reduce the capacitive loss of the flying switched-inductor regulator by limiting the voltage swing across the switches in the flying switched-inductor regulator. The disclosed embodiments of the hybrid regulator topology can reduce the inductor resistive loss of the flying switched-inductor regulator by operating the flying switched-inductor regulator at a high switching frequency and with a small amount of current flow through the inductor. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for preparing asymmetric 3,4′-(hexafluroisopropylidene) dipthalic anhydride (a-6FDA) and asymmetric 3,4′-(methylene)diphthalic anhydride (a-MDPA) from asymmetric 2,3,3′,4′-benzophenone dianhydride (a-BTDA). First, a-BTDA is converted to its corresponding N-alkyl or N-phenyl bisimides by reacting with either methylamine or aniline. The sequential addition of two trifluoromethyl (CF3) groups to the carbonyl unit of a-BTDA produce the corresponding bisimides of asymmetric 6FDA, which is hydrolyzed to the asymmetric 6F-tetracarboxylic acid followed by cyclodehydration to obtain asymmetric 6F-dianhydride (a-6FDA). Separately, the carbonyl unit of bisimides of a-BTDA is reduced to a methylene unit to afford the corresponding bisimides of asymmetric 3,4′-(methylene)diphthalic anhydride, which is hydrolyzed to the asymmetric methylene tetracarboxylic acid followed by cyclodehydration to obtain 3,4′-(methylene)diphthalic anhydride (a-MDPA). |

| ABSTRACT | This invention is for a new molecular recognition system, where DNA-like molecules comprising segments built from nucleotides that carry only a small which comprises process by which one molecule interacts with a specific second molecule, or by which a portion of a single molecule interacts specifically with another portion of the same molecule. Further, this invention relates to molecular recognition that follows simple rules. Further, this invention relates to molecular systems that are linear biopolymers that are analogs of DNA and RNA, in that they are built from a small set of building blocks that are linked together by phosphate groups, where the building blocks comprise a sugar (ribose, 2′-deoxyribose, or an analog) attached to a heterocycle. The molecular recognition that they display differs from that displayed by DNA and RNA, in that the rules governing molecular recognition break the rules of size complementarity followed in molecular recognition displayed between and within strands of DNA and RNA. |

| ABSTRACT | Photon absorption, and thus current generation, is hindered in conventional thin-film solar cell designs, including quantum well structures, by the limited path length of incident light passing vertically through the device. Optical scattering into lateral waveguide structures provides a physical mechanism to increase photocurrent generation through in-plane light trapping. However, the insertion of wells of high refractive index material with lower energy gap into the device structure often results in lower voltage operation, and hence lower photovoltaic power conversion efficiency. The voltage output of an InGaAs quantum well waveguide photovoltaic device can be increased by employing a III-V material structure with an extended wide band gap emitter heterojunction. Analysis of the light IV characteristics reveals that non-radiative recombination components of the underlying dark diode current have been reduced, exposing the limiting radiative recombination component and providing a pathway for realizing solar-electric conversion efficiency of 30% or more in single junction cells. |

How To Use This Page
THE FEDINVENT PATENT DETAILS PAGE
Each week, FedInvent analyzes newly granted patents and published patent applications whose origins lead back to funding by the US Federal Government. The FedInvent Patent Details page is a companion to the weekly FedInvents Patents Report.
This week's information is published in the FedInvent Patents report for Tuesday, August 28, 2018.
The FedInvent Weekly Patent Details Page contains a subset of patent information to provide a deeper dive into the week’s taxpayer-funded patents to help the reader better understand where a patent fits in the federal innovation ecosphere.
HOW IS THE INFORMATION ORGANIZED?
Patents are organized by the funding agency. Within each group, the patents are organized in numeric order. A patent funded by more than one agency will appear in the section of each of the agencies that funded the research and development that resulted in the invention. This approach gives the reader a complete view of the department or agency activity for the week.
WHAT INFORMATION WILL I FIND?
THE PANEL
There is a panel for each patent that contains the patent number and the title of the patent. When you click the panel, it opens to reveal the following information:
FUNDED BY
The agencies that funded the grants, contracts, or other research agreements that resulted in the patent. FedInvent includes as much information on the source of the funding as possible. The information is presented in a hierarchy going from the Federal Department down to the agencies, subagencies, and offices that funded the work. Here are two examples:
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
Department of Defense (DOD)
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
Army Research Office (ARO)
We do our best to provide detailed information about the funding. In some cases, the patent only reports limited information on the origins of the funding. FedInvents presents what it can confirm. We add the patents without the information required by the Bayh-Dole Act to our list of patents worthy of further investigation.
APPLICANT(S) and ASSIGNEES
FedInvent includes both the Applicants and the Assignees because having both provides more information about where the inventive work was done and by what organizations. Many organizations — universities, corporations, and federal agencies — standardize the Assignee/Owner information by the time a patent is granted. In the case of federal patents, many of the patents use the agency headquarters information for patent assignment.
Showing just the headquarters address would make Washington, DC the epicenter of all taxpayer-funded research and development. Providing both the applicant information and the assignee information provides a more accurate picture of where important taxpayer funded innovation is happening in America. Here are two examples from two different patents:
APPLICANT: U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD
ASSIGNEE: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army Washington, DC
APPLICANT: Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)
ASSIGNEE(S): The Regents of the University of California (Oakland, California); Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)
INVENTOR(S)
The inventors appear in the same order as they appear on the patent. FedInvents presents the names in first name/last name order because they are easier to read than the last name/first name order of the names on the USPTO patent documents.
ABSTRACT
The abstract as it appears on the patent.
FILED
The date of the patent application including the day of the week.
APPL NO
This is the patent application serial number. If you’d like to learn more about how application serial numbers work you can go to the Lists Page.
ART UNIT
Patent data includes the Art Unit where a patent was examined. (The Art Unit isn’t available for published patent applications.) The Art Unit provides insight into what group of patent examiners prosecuted the patent application and the subject matter that the examiners work on. For example:
3793 — Medical Instruments, Diagnostic Equipment, and Treatment Devices
You can learn more about ART UNITS on the FedInvent Patents Weekly panel called About Tech Center or you can find information on the FedInvent Lists Page.
CURRENT CPC
Current CPC provides a list of the Cooperative Patent Classification symbols assigned to the patent. These are the CPC symbols assigned at the time the patent was granted.
The FedInvent Project is a patent classification maximalist endeavor or put another way, we believe that more you understand about patent classification the more you'll learn about the nature of the invention and the types of work that the federal government is funding.
The symbol presented in BOLD is the symbol identified as the "first" classification which is the most relevant classification on the patent. The date that follows the symbol is the date of the most recent revision to the art classed there.
- A61B 1/149 (20130101)
- A61B 1/71 (20130101)
- A61B 1/105 (20130101)
The CPC symbols match the classifications found on the PDF version of the patent. Over time, the classifications on the full-text version of the patent change to reflect how USPTO organizes patent art to support its examiners. The two sets of CPCs don’t always match.
VIEW PATENT
As of June 2021, we include two ways to view a patent at USPTO. FedInvent provides a link to the Full-Text Version of the patent and a link to the PDF version of the patent.
HOW DO I FIND A SPECIFIC PATENT ON A PAGE?
You can use the Command F or Control F to find a specific patent you are interested in.
HOW DO I GET HERE?
You navigate to the details of a patent by clicking the information icon that follows a patent on the FedInvent Patents Weekly Report.
You can also reach this page using the weekly page link that looks like this:
https://wayfinder.digital/fedinvent/patents-2018/fedinvent-patents-20180828.html
Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
