| ABSTRACT | Provided herein are compositions and methods to improve treatment of chronic infections, and reduce, delay, or inhibit formation of biofilms, using specific combinations of aminoglycoside antibiotics and high, localized concentrations of one or more PMF stimulating compounds. These novel methods are easily adapted to clinical settings as toxicity and efficacy of the antibiotics and metabolites used have already been studied in vivo, and as dosing for both the antibiotics and metabolites are known. These approaches and therapeutic methods are also useful with non-metabolic chemicals that induce proton-motive force in bacteria. |

| ABSTRACT | The use of a purine nucleoside phosphorylase or nucleoside hydrolase or a vector encoding expression of one of these enzymes is detailed along with the use of a prodrug cleaved by the purine nucleoside phosphorylase or nucleoside hydrolase for the preparation of a direct injection inhibition of replicating or non-replicating targeted cells. The targeted cells do not normally express the introduced purine nucleoside phosphorylase or nucleoside hydrolase. The enzyme and prodrug are amenable to intermixing and injection as a single dose or as separate injection or administration to the targeted cells. The substance and prodrug efficacy are enhanced through exposure of the targeted cells to X-ray radiation. Administration of a prodrug regardless of administration route to the targeted cells is effective in combination with X-ray radiation therapy to kill or inhibit function of the targeted cells. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a class of wedge-type block copolymers having a plurality of chemically different blocks, at least a portion of which incorporates a wedge group-containing block providing useful properties. For example, use of one or more wedge group-containing blocks in some block copolymers of the invention significantly inhibits chain entanglement and, thus, the present block copolymers materials provide a class of polymer materials capable of efficient molecular self-assembly to generate a range of structures, such as periodic nanostructures and microstructures. Materials of the present invention include copolymers having one or more wedge group-containing blocks, and optionally for some applications copolymers also incorporating one or more polymer side group-containing blocks. The present invention also provides useful methods of making and using wedge-type block copolymers. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are methods that include separately differentiating stem cells to form cortical neural progenitor cells and differentiating stem cells to form dopaminergic neural progenitor cells. The cortical progenitor cells are transferred to a first compartment of a culture dish and the dopaminergic progenitor cells are transferred to a second compartment of the culture dish, separated by a removable barrier. The cortical progenitor cells and dopaminergic progenitor cells are cultured in medium that promotes differentiation of cortical neurons and dopaminergic neurons, respectively. The barrier is then removed, creating a single chamber containing the cortical progenitor cells and the dopaminergic progenitor cells, separated by a gap. The cortical progenitor cells and the dopaminergic progenitor cells are then cultured in a single medium, which promotes further differentiation of the neurons and also supports formation of connections (such as synapses or synapse-like structures) between at least some of the cortical neurons and dopaminergic neurons. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein is a system and method for increasing the fidelity of measured genetic data, for making allele calls, and for determining the state of aneuploidy, in one or a small set of cells, or from fragmentary DNA, where a limited quantity of genetic data is available. Poorly or incorrectly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed using expected similarities between the target genome and the genome of genetically related individuals. In accordance with one embodiment, incomplete genetic data from an embryonic cell are reconstructed at a plurality of loci using the more complete genetic data from a larger sample of diploid cells from one or both parents, with or without haploid genetic data from one or both parents. In another embodiment, the chromosome copy number can be determined from the measured genetic data, with or without genetic information from one or both parents. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of quantifying nucleic acids in a sample includes generating a plurality of droplets in oil within a microfluidic device, wherein at least some of the droplets comprise a nucleic acid, amplification reagents, and a fluorescent probe or dyes contained therein. The droplets are delivered to a collection chamber to form an array of droplets. The droplets are subject to thermal cycling within the collection chamber a plurality of times to perform nucleic acid amplification within the droplets. The array of droplets is imaged during the plurality of thermal cycles as well as at a thermal cycle endpoint. An initial concentration of nucleic acid in the sample is calculated based on at least one of: a ratio of aqueous phase droplets exhibiting fluorescence within the array at the thermal cycle endpoint or a cycle threshold (Ct) of one or more aqueous phase droplets within the array. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention a novel, general, and facile strategy for the creation of small molecules with high structural and stereochemical complexity. Aspects of the methods include ring system distortion reactions that are systematically applied to rapidly convert readily available natural products to structurally complex compounds with diverse molecular architectures. Through evaluation of chemical properties including fraction of sp3 carbons, ClogP, and the number of stereogenic centers, these compounds are shown to be significantly more complex and diverse than those in standard screening collections. This approach is demonstrated with natural products (gibberellic acid, adrenosterone, and quinine) from three different structural classes, and methods are described for the application of this strategy to any suitable natural product. |

| ABSTRACT | Software-managed resources are used to utilize effective-to-real memory address translation for synchronization among processes executing on processor cores in a multi-core computing system. A failure to find a pre-determined effective memory address translation in an effective-to-real memory address translation table on a first processor core triggers an address translation exception in a second processor core and causes an exception handler on the second processor core to start a new process, thereby acting as a means to achieve synchronization among processes on the first processor core and the second processor core. The specific functionality is implemented in the exception handler, which is tailored to respond to the exception based on the address that generated it. |

| ABSTRACT | Sensory processing of visual, auditory, and other sensor information (e.g., visual imagery, LIDAR, RADAR) is conventionally based on “stovepiped,” or isolated processing, with little interactions between modules. Biological systems, on the other hand, fuse multi-sensory information to identify nearby objects of interest more quickly, more efficiently, and with higher signal-to-noise ratios. Similarly, examples of the OpenSense technology disclosed herein use neurally inspired processing to identify and locate objects in a robot's environment. This enables the robot to navigate its environment more quickly and with lower computational and power requirements. |

| ABSTRACT | A multivariate digital separation of classes and display device and method for generating pictures of data set comprised of points in hyperspace. An input device may include a keyboard, a laboratory instrument such as a mass spectrometer, a reader of computer readable medium, or a network interface device. An output device may include a monitor used in conjunction with either a 2D or 3D printer or both. A computer processor receives data from the input device and performs a series of steps to create a 2D or 3D image of the pairs-hyperspace of all pairs of classes in data set. The resulting image is then produced in a non-transitory medium by at least one of the output devices. The processor steps include the use of maximizing the degree of separation between all classes in the data set as well as transformation of separated data points of all classes into pairs-hyperspace. |

| ABSTRACT | An arrangement for making electrical contact to a vertical capacitor having top and bottom metal layers separated by a dielectric, and at least one trench. Recesses are formed in an oxide layer over the capacitor to provide access to the top and bottom metal layers. The recesses include contacting portions preferably positioned such that there is no overlap between them and any of the trenches. Metal in the recesses, preferably copper, forms electrical contacts to the vertical capacitor's metal layers and enables reliable bonding to copper metallization on other layers such as an ROIC layer. ‘Dummy’ capacitors may be tiled on portions of the IC where there are no vertical capacitors, preferably with the top surfaces of their top metal at a height approximately equal to that of the top surface of the vertical capacitor's top metal, thereby enabling the IC to be planarized with a uniform planarization thickness. |

| ABSTRACT | A plasmon-enhanced terahertz graphene-based photodetector exhibits an increased absorption efficiency attained by utilizing a tunable plasmonic resonance in sub-wavelengths graphene micro-ribbons formed on SiC substrate in contact with an array of bi-metallic electrode lines. The orientation of the graphene micro-ribbons is tailored with respect to the array of sub-wavelengths bi-metallic electrode lines. The graphene micro-ribbons extend at the angle of approximately 45 degrees with respect to the electrode lines in the bi-metal electrodes array. The plasmonic mode is efficiently excited by an incident wave polarized perpendicular to the electrode lines, and/or to the graphene micro-ribbons. The absorption of radiation by graphene is enhanced through tunable geometric parameters (such as, for example, the width of the graphene micro-ribbons) and control of a carrier density in graphene achieved through tuning the gate voltage applied to the photodetector. |

| ABSTRACT | A broad area quantum cascade laser subject to having high order transverse optical modes during operation includes a laser cavity at least partially enclosed by walls, and a perturbation in the laser cavity extending from one or more of the walls. The perturbation may have a shape and a size sufficient to suppress high order transverse optical modes during operation of the broad area quantum cascade laser, whereby a fundamental transverse optical mode is selected over the high order transverse optical modes. As a result, the fundamental transverse mode operation in broad-area quantum cascade lasers can be regained, when it could not otherwise be without such a perturbation. |

The AC coupling capacitor removes a DC voltage from an input bi-level drive signal that does not have the appropriate high and low drive levels needed to switch a FET in the switch-based circuit between fully ON and fully OFF states. The first diode or first series of diodes and the second diode or second series of diodes clamp the resulting AC-coupled drive signal to produce an output bi-level drive signal having the high and low drive levels needed to switch the FET between fully ON and fully OFF states. The driver interface maintains the high and low drive levels of the output bi-level drive signal irrespective of any changes made to the duty cycle or pulse density of the input bi-level drive signal. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques that facilitate two-phase liquid cooling of an electronic device are provided. In one example, an apparatus, such as a cold plate device, comprises a first stackable layer and a second stackable layer. The first stackable layer comprises a first channel formed within the first stackable layer. The first channel comprises a first channel width and the first channel receives a coolant fluid via an inlet port of the apparatus. The second stackable layer comprises a second channel that provides a path for the coolant fluid to flow between the first channel and an outlet port of the apparatus. A width of the second channel increases along a flow direction of the coolant fluid that flows between the inlet port and the outlet port. |

| ABSTRACT | Catalysts prepared from abundant, cost effective metals, such as cobalt, nickel, chromium, manganese, iron, and copper, and containing one or more neutrally charged ligands (e.g., monodentate, bidentate, and/or polydentate ligands) and methods of making and using thereof are described herein. Exemplary ligands include, but are not limited to, phosphine ligands, nitrogen-based ligands, sulfur-based ligands, and/or arsenic-based ligands. In some embodiments, the catalyst is a cobalt-based catalyst or a nickel-based catalyst. The catalysts described herein are stable and active at neutral pH and in a wide range of buffers that are both weak and strong proton acceptors. While its activity is slightly lower than state of the art cobalt-based water oxidation catalysts under some conditions, it is capable of sustaining electrolysis at high applied potentials without a significant degradation in catalytic current. This enhanced robustness gives it an advantage in industrial and large-scale water electrolysis schemes. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a class of wedge-type block copolymers having a plurality of chemically different blocks, at least a portion of which incorporates a wedge group-containing block providing useful properties. For example, use of one or more wedge group-containing blocks in some block copolymers of the invention significantly inhibits chain entanglement and, thus, the present block copolymers materials provide a class of polymer materials capable of efficient molecular self-assembly to generate a range of structures, such as periodic nanostructures and microstructures. Materials of the present invention include copolymers having one or more wedge group-containing blocks, and optionally for some applications copolymers also incorporating one or more polymer side group-containing blocks. The present invention also provides useful methods of making and using wedge-type block copolymers. |

| ABSTRACT | The system described herein provides a sensor-based assessment of attention interruptibility. In a driving scenario, this system solves a persistent safety issue with regard to dangerous interruptions as they increase driver workload and reduce performance on the primary driving task. Being able to identify when a driver is interruptible is critical for building systems that can mediate these interruptions. The present invention utilizes sensor data collected from wearable devices and on-board diagnostics which can be used as input to build a machine learning classifier that can determine driver interruptibility in real-time. |

| ABSTRACT | Catalysts prepared from abundant, cost effective metals, such as cobalt, nickel, chromium, manganese, iron, and copper, and containing one or more neutrally charged ligands (e.g., monodentate, bidentate, and/or polydentate ligands) and methods of making and using thereof are described herein. Exemplary ligands include, but are not limited to, phosphine ligands, nitrogen-based ligands, sulfur-based ligands, and/or arsenic-based ligands. In some embodiments, the catalyst is a cobalt-based catalyst or a nickel-based catalyst. The catalysts described herein are stable and active at neutral pH and in a wide range of buffers that are both weak and strong proton acceptors. While its activity is slightly lower than state of the art cobalt-based water oxidation catalysts under some conditions, it is capable of sustaining electrolysis at high applied potentials without a significant degradation in catalytic current. This enhanced robustness gives it an advantage in industrial and large-scale water electrolysis schemes. |

| ABSTRACT | Hall thrusters with conductive coatings are disclosed. A Hall thruster comprises magnetic shielding in order to avoid collisions with the inner walls of its discharge chamber. By removing the source of erosion, the walls of the chamber can be removed reducing mass, cost and complexity of the thruster. A conductive coating, such as an aluminum coating, is deposited on inner screens between the discharge chamber and the magnetic poles of the thruster. The magnetic field within the chamber shields the conductive coating deposited on the inner and outer screens of the chamber. |

| ABSTRACT | Sensory processing of visual, auditory, and other sensor information (e.g., visual imagery, LIDAR, RADAR) is conventionally based on “stovepiped,” or isolated processing, with little interactions between modules. Biological systems, on the other hand, fuse multi-sensory information to identify nearby objects of interest more quickly, more efficiently, and with higher signal-to-noise ratios. Similarly, examples of the OpenSense technology disclosed herein use neurally inspired processing to identify and locate objects in a robot's environment. This enables the robot to navigate its environment more quickly and with lower computational and power requirements. |

| ABSTRACT | The system described herein provides a sensor-based assessment of attention interruptibility. In a driving scenario, this system solves a persistent safety issue with regard to dangerous interruptions as they increase driver workload and reduce performance on the primary driving task. Being able to identify when a driver is interruptible is critical for building systems that can mediate these interruptions. The present invention utilizes sensor data collected from wearable devices and on-board diagnostics which can be used as input to build a machine learning classifier that can determine driver interruptibility in real-time. |

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, September 25, 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:
