| ABSTRACT | The application features methods, devices, and systems for measuring blood flow in a subject. The computer-implemented methods include receiving functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data that provides information on at least one of volume or oxygenation of blood at one or more locations in a body over a first predetermined length of time. The methods also include receiving near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) imaging or measurement data representing at least one of blood concentration or oxygenation at a first portion of the body over a second predetermined length of time. The methods further include deriving, from the fMRI data corresponding to a second portion of the body, a time varying data set representing changes in blood oxygenation or volume or both blood oxygenation and volume at the second portion over the first predetermined length of time and determining, by a computing device, a time delay and a value of a similarity metric corresponding to a part of the spectroscopic imaging data that most closely matches the time varying data set. The time delay represents a difference between a first time in which blood flows from a third portion in the body to the first portion and a second time in which blood flows to the second portion from the third portion. The value of the similarity metric represents an amount of blood at the second portion. An estimate of a characteristic of at least one of blood flow or blood volume in the second portion at a given time is determined based on the time delay and the value of the similarity metric. |

| ABSTRACT | An ECG clock electrocardiogram based diagnostic device and method is disclosed. The ECG clock provides a clear visual indicator of heart related anomalies such as Long QT syndrome over a longer span of time than can otherwise be assimilated by a medical practitioner. A variable such as QT interval is represented by a variable length radial hand similar to a watch or clock hand. The circular face of the ECG clock represents the diagnostic time interval, typically 24 hours. The resulting output or plot of the ECG clock portrays a circular or polar mapping of the heart related variable such as QT interval over the diagnostic time interval, facilitating rapid diagnosis of volumes of electrocardiogram data by a medical practitioner that has heretofore not been possible. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are methods for differentiation of neuronal cells from stem cells, which produce a three-dimensional model of the neocortex structure. In some embodiments, the methods include culturing stem cells with at least one inhibitor of SMAD signaling and at least one inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor signaling for a period of time to result in formation of an embryoid body. The embryoid body is then cultured with at least one FGF (for example, basic FGF) for a period of time sufficient to produce a neuroepithelial (NE) rosette. The rosette is then isolated and cultured in suspension or adherent culture in the presence of at least one FGF for a period of time sufficient to produce cells with dorsal cortical identity and those cells are then cultured in the substantial absence of trophic factors for a period of time sufficient to form a neocortical organoid. |

| ABSTRACT | A novel peptide sequence that is a modified derivative of a neuron-specific tyrosine phosphatase is shown and described. Specifically, the novel peptide sequence is a modified derivative of striatal-enriched tyrosine phosphatase (STEP). The peptide sequence has been modified so as to be able to ameliorate and treat brain injury resulting from excessive glutamate release and/or oxidative stress. Examples of the types of brain injury which the presently disclosed peptide sequence is useful for treating includes acute brain injury resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury and chronic disorders such as Huntington's chorea and schizophrenia. Furthermore, the presently described peptide sequence may further be useful in the treatment and amelioration of disorders associated with fear memory such as post-traumatic stress disorder. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides a method for transforming an insect genome that has a much enhanced transformation frequency. The vectors and plasmids employed in the method are further described as transposition vectors that include a minimal amount of nucleotide sequence homologous to a 5′ region and a 3′ region of a native piggyBac nucleic acid sequence. The transformed cells or embryos may also be developed into transgenic organisms. Disclosed are minimal piggyBac-based plasmid constructs that comprises a minimal nucleic acid sequence homologous to a 5′ end of a piggyBac nucleic acid sequence (about 60-80 bp, particularly 66 bp) and a relatively long (300 to about 380 bp, particularly 311 bp or 378 bp) continuous nucleic acid sequence homologous to a 3′ end of a piggyBac native nucleic acid sequence. Methods employing these constructs include the use of a helper plasmid. Transformation frequencies employing the constructs are enhanced 100-fold or higher over that transformation frequency obtained using other than the herein described constructs. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are nanostructured gold films which may be produced by solution-phase depositions of gold ions onto a variety of surfaces. The resulting plasmonic gold films are used for enhanced spectroscopic-based immunoassays in multiplexed microarray format with detection mechanisms based on either surface-enhanced Raman scattering or near-infrared fluorescence enhancement. The preparation of the films and subsequent modifications of the gold film surfaces afford increased sensitivity for various microarrays. The films are discontinuous, forming gold “islands.” Sensitivity, size, shape, and density of the nanoscopic gold islands comprising the discontinuous nanostructured gold film are controlled to enhance the intensity of Raman scattering and fluorescence in the near-infrared, allowing for improved measurements in clinical diagnostic or biomedical research applications. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for providing SAR focusing at a target in a body using an MRI system is provided. A computed pulse is provided at a lower power to the body. A MR thermometry is performed. A map is created from the MR thermometry to determine if a hotspot aligns with the target. If the target does not align with the hotspot, then the steps are performed comprising, recomputing the computed pulse, providing the computed pulse at a lower power to the body, performing MR thermometry, creating a map from the MR thermometry to determine if a hotspot aligns with the target, and repeating these steps until the hotspot aligns with the target. The computed pulse is applied at a higher power to the body to provide the desired SAR at the target. Temperature change is monitored with MR thermometry the previous two steps are repeated until desired temperature is achieved. |

| ABSTRACT | Described here are systems and methods for efficiently simulating wave propagation in one or more viscoelastic media. The systems and methods described here implement an elastodynamic model that includes memory variables for one or more viscoelastic properties. Boundary conditions can also be generated based on a perfectly matched layer (PML) condition. A hybrid implicit/explicit method is used to generate wave simulation data. In this method, equations related to the memory variables and PML are solved using an implicit integrator, and other equations in the elastodynamic model are solved using an explicit method. |

| ABSTRACT | A non-pneumatic tire for supporting a load by working in tension comprising a generally annular inner ring, a generally annular outer ring, and an interconnected web having a plurality of web elements and comprising a plurality of generally polygonal openings. Web elements are sized, oriented and comprised of a material that facilitates buckling when subjected to a compressive load. By buckling, those elements in a deformed portion of the tire between a wheel and a footprint region where the tire contacts a surface can assume a significantly reduced portion of the load, if any. This causes web elements in other portions of the interconnected web to operate in tension to support the load. |

| ABSTRACT | An integrated “lab-on-a-chip” microfluidic device performs nucleic acid sample preparation and diagnostic analysis from test samples containing cells and/or particles. The device analyzes DNA or RNA targets, or both, from a common test sample. Dried and/or liquid reagents necessary for nucleic acid sample preparation and analysis are contained on the device, such that the device only requires addition of test sample. Clay mineral and alkaline buffer reagents are employed for overcoming the problems of nucleic acid degradation and contamination during sample preparation. The device may include a composite filter to separate plasma or serum from other blood constituents when the test sample is a blood product. The microfluidic device utilizes a plurality of microfluidic channels, inlets, valves, membranes, pumps, and other elements arranged in various configurations to manipulate the flow of the liquid sample, in particular, in order to prepare nucleic acids and perform further diagnostic analysis. |

| ABSTRACT | The munition employs an energetically initiated electromagnetic pulse through a coil which induces a voltage intended to be used for the operation of an electronic time delay circuit and subsequent ignition of a detonation device. Explosive energy from a primer is employed to move a generator core through a generator coil to induce the voltage. The voltage is supplied to a delay circuit. After a set time, the delay circuit supplies power to a laser igniter which detonates the munition. A striker assembly, in addition to initiating the primer, functions as an out of line safety as well as an electric safety. |

| ABSTRACT | A phase-resolved heterodyne shearing interferometer has been developed for high-rate, whole field observations of transient surface motion. The sensor utilizes polarization multiplexing and multiple carrier frequencies to separate each segment of a shearing Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Post-processing routines have been developed to recombine the segments by extracting the scattered object phase from Doppler shifted intermediate carrier frequencies, providing quantitative relative phase changes and information to create variable shear, phase resolved shearographic fringe patterns without temporal or spatial phase shifting. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for estimating the position of a mobile device. Initializing an Extended Kalman Filter. Moving mobile device from a first unknown position (xt1, yt1) at a first time t1 to a second unknown position (xt2, yt2) at a second time t2. Measuring distance traveled d and angle traveled θ between the first unknown position and the second unknown position. Calculating a first possible position (x1, y1) at the first time and a second possible position (x2, y2) the second time. Using the Extended Kalman Filter, a predicted first unknown position ({circumflex over (x)}, ŷ) is calculated at the first time. A first final value is calculated according to √{square root over (({circumflex over (x)}−x1)2+(ŷ−y1)2)}. A second final value is calculated according to √{square root over (({circumflex over (x)}−x2)2+(ŷ−y2)2)}. If the first final value is less than or equal to the second final value, the first possible position (x1, y1) is output. Otherwise, the second possible position (x2, y2) is output. |

| ABSTRACT | A device for measuring body core temperature includes a light guide. The light guide is coupled to an earpiece. A first sensor is positioned at a first end of the light guide, and a second sensor is positioned at a second end of the light guide. A processor is coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor. The first sensor senses infrared radiation from an infrared source at the second end of the light guide, and the second sensor measures a temperature of the light guide at the second end of the light guide. The processor determines a temperature of the infrared source at the second end of the light guide by compensating for infrared radiation due to a thermal gradient of the light guide via a regression analysis across a range of ambient temperatures of the light guide. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention relates to hydrogel and organogel sensors as well as their application to continuous analyte monitoring. The sensor can include a hydrogel or organogel matrix. Standard and inverse designed are provided. In one embodiment, the matrix can include a molecular recognition agent for an analyte (e.g., a glucose analyte), and a volume resetting agent that reversibly binds with the molecular recognition agent. Reversible crosslinks between the molecular recognition agent and volume resetting agent can change the volume of the matrix upon interacting with the analyte via a competitive binding process. In various embodiments, the invention provides a hydrogel-based glucose sensor and sensors for continuous glucose monitoring. The glucose sensor can be based on a glucose-responsive hydrogel with a volume linearly correlated with glucose concentrations, such as about 0.05-50 mM, under physiological conditions. The invention thus provides a blood glucose monitor suitable for use in clinical settings. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method is described to measure the magnetic field gradient using an optically pumped magnetometer configured as an intrinsic gradiometer. Atoms are prepared in a freely precessing coherent superposition of the magnetically sensitive hyperfine ground states in two or more physically separated locations. A probe laser beam is used to interrogate atoms in both locations. As the probe light beam passes through the coherent atoms, optical sidebands are self-generated at the ground state hyperfine frequency of the magnetically sensitive states. Each of the two sets of atoms produces distinct sidebands at a frequency separation proportional to the magnetic field experienced by each set of atoms. The probe light is captured using a photodetector. The self-generated probe optical sidebands interfere to produce a beat note whose frequency is proportional to the magnetic field gradient between the two sets of atoms. Measuring the frequency of the beat note therefore provides an accurate reading of the magnetic field gradient. An optical filter or a polarizer can be additionally used to remove the central frequency of the probe light, thus removing the noise produced by the residual probe beam. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for estimating ego-motion of a moving camera for detection of independent moving objects in a scene. For consecutive frames in a video captured by a moving camera, a first ego-translation estimate is determined between the consecutive frames from a first local minimum. From a second local minimum, a second ego-translation estimate is determined. If the first ego-translation estimate is equivalent to the second ego-translation estimate, the second ego-translation estimate is output as the optimal solution. Otherwise, a cost function is minimized to determine an optimal translation until the first ego-translation estimate is equivalent to the second ego-translation estimate, and an optimal solution is output. Ego-motion of the camera is estimated using the optimal solution, and independent moving objects are detected in the scene. |

| ABSTRACT | A laser communication apparatus is provided for sending and receiving messages. A processor encodes user messages for a modulator. The modulator provides control signals related to the encoded message to a plurality of seed lasers. Each seed laser can provide light at a different wavelength. Amplifiers are joined to amplify light from the seed lasers. Amplified light is multiplexed together. Multiplexed light is transmitted by a collimating lens along a target vector. A portion of the light can be monitored by a first detector. A telescope receives light from the target vector and provides focused light to a second detector. The second detector provides a signal responsive to the received light to the processor. The processor decodes this signal to provide the received message. |

| ABSTRACT | An integrated laser that provides multiple outputs includes a reflective silicon optical amplifier (RSOA) having a reflective end with a reflective coating and an interface end. It also includes an optical waveguide optically coupled to the RSOA. A distributed-Bragg-reflector (DBR) ring resonator is also optically coupled to the optical waveguide, wherein the DBR ring resonator partially reflects a wavelength of the optical signal from the optical waveguide, thereby causing balanced light to flow in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions inside the DBR ring resonator. The integrated laser additionally includes an output waveguide having 2*N ends that function as two outputs, wherein the output waveguide is optically coupled to the DBR ring resonator, which causes balanced light to flow in two directions in the output waveguide, thereby causing the 2*N outputs to provide balanced power. |

| ABSTRACT | Dynamic risk communication associated with a computer device may include automatically detecting one or more security risk factors for the computer device based on current context information associated with the computer device. Whether an attempt is being made via the computer device to manipulate the one or more risk factors in an attempt to reduce a security level of a computer-implemented authentication procedure may be determined. Responsive to determining that the attempt is being made to manipulate the one or more risk factors, a new challenge for additional identification may be communicated for presentation on a user interface device of the computer device while suppressing one or more security risk factors from being presented on the user interface device. Responsive to determining that an attempt is not being made to manipulate the one or more risk factors, the new challenge and one or more security risk factors may be communicated. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are methods for CO2 capture that use phase change ionic liquids (PCILs) to remove the CO2 from flue gas or other gas streams containing CO2. PCILs have high CO2 uptake and form a liquid PCIL-CO2 complex when they react with C( )2. When the liquid PCIL-CO2 complex is heated to regenerate the solid PCIL material by removing the carbon dioxide, part of the heat needed to release the CO2 can be supplied by the heat of fusion of the PCIL as it solidifies. Utilization of the heat of fusion of the PCIL to assist in its own regeneration can substantially reduce the parasitic energy loss associated with post-combustion CO2 capture. |

| ABSTRACT | Alkali metals and sulfur may be recovered from alkali monosulfide and polysulfides in an electrolytic process that utilizes an electrolytic cell having an alkali ion conductive membrane. An anolyte includes an alkali monosulfide, an alkali polysulfide, or a mixture thereof and a solvent that dissolves elemental sulfur. A catholyte includes molten alkali metal. Applying an electric current oxidizes sulfide and polysulfide in the anolyte compartment, causes alkali metal ions to pass through the alkali ion conductive membrane to the catholyte compartment, and reduces the alkali metal ions in the catholyte compartment. Liquid sulfur separates from the anolyte and may be recovered. The electrolytic cell is operated at a temperature where the formed alkali metal and sulfur are molten. |

| ABSTRACT | An Optical Information Transfer Enhancer System includes a first system for producing an information bearing first optical wave that is impressed with a first information having a first information strength wherein the first optical wave has a first shape. A second system produces a second optical wave. An information strength enhancer module receives the first and said second optical waves and impresses the first optical wave upon the second optical wave via cross-phase modulation (XPM) to produce an information-strength-enhanced second optical wave having a second information strength that is greater than the first information strength of the first optical wave. Following a center-wavelength changer by an Optical Information Transfer Enhancer System improves its performance. |

| ABSTRACT | According to an aspect, a method for triggering creation of a checkpoint in a computer system includes executing a task in a processing node and determining whether it is time to read a monitor associated with a metric of the task. The monitor is read to determine a value of the metric based on determining that it is time to read the monitor. A threshold for triggering creation of the checkpoint is determined based on the metric. A monitoring block size is determined for the checkpoint. A checkpoint interval is determined based on the monitoring block size, a checkpoint bandwidth, and a failure rate of the computer system. Based on determining that the value of the metric has crossed the threshold and the checkpoint interval has elapsed, the checkpoint including state data of the task is created to enable restarting execution of the task upon a restart operation. |

| ABSTRACT | A magnetoelectric memory cell with domain-wall-mediated switching is implemented using a split gate architecture. The split gate architecture allows a domain wall to be trapped within a magnetoelectric antiferromagnetic (MEAF) active layer. An extension of this architecture applies to multiple-gate linear arrays that can offer advantages in memory density, programmability, and logic functionality. Applying a small anisotropic in-plane shear strain to the MEAF can block domain wall precession to improve reliability and speed of switching. |

| ABSTRACT | The generation of photocurrent in an ideal two-dimensional Dirac spectrum is symmetry forbidden. In sharp contrast, a three-dimensional Weyl semimetal can generically support significant photocurrent due to the combination of inversion symmetry breaking and finite tilts of the Weyl spectrum. To realize this photocurrent, a noncentrosymmetric Weyl semimetal is coupled to a pair of electrodes and illuminated with circularly polarized light without any voltage applied to the Weyl semimetal. The wavelength of the incident light can range over tens of microns and can be adjusted by doping the Weyl semimetal to change its chemical potential. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrochemical cell includes a negative electrode comprising a first active metal, a positive electrode comprising a second active metal, and an electrolyte comprising salts of the two active metals, a salt of the cathodic metal and a salt of the anodic metal. In operation, the electrolyte composition varies such that in a charging mode the salt of the anodic salt decreases, while the salt of the cathodic salt increases, and in a discharging mode the salt of the anodic salt increases, while the salt of the cathodic salt decreases. The cell is operational for both storing electrical energy and as a source of electrical energy as part of an uninterruptible power system. The cell is particularly suited to store electrical energy produced by an intermittent renewable energy source. |

| ABSTRACT | A Hamiltonian surface shaping power flow control (HSSPFC) method is used to analyze the meta-stability and adjust pulsed power loads on a DC electric power distribution network. Pulsed power loads are nonlinear, time-variant systems that cause nonlinear limit-cycles. During the on periods of a pulsed load, the system can be in an unstable state and is damped back to stability during the off state of the load. Therefore, over the entire period of the pulse the system may only be assessed as meta-stable. As shown through simulation, HIL and hardware results, the HSSPFC method is more accurate than the other small-signal approaches, such as Eigenvalues, Nyquist, and Floquet theory, and can reveal important details about the transient responses and performance. |

| ABSTRACT | Various technologies pertaining to a high-impedance current source are described herein. The current source outputs a substantially constant current by way of a first transistor that draws current from a supply. The current source is configured to feed back noise from the supply to a feedback resistor at an input of an operational amplifier (op-amp) by way of a second transistor. The feedback resistor and the op-amp are configured such that responsive to receiving the supply noise feedback, the op-amp drives a gate voltage of the first transistor to cause the first transistor to reject the supply noise and cause the output of the current source to remain substantially constant. |

| ABSTRACT | An ECG clock electrocardiogram based diagnostic device and method is disclosed. The ECG clock provides a clear visual indicator of heart related anomalies such as Long QT syndrome over a longer span of time than can otherwise be assimilated by a medical practitioner. A variable such as QT interval is represented by a variable length radial hand similar to a watch or clock hand. The circular face of the ECG clock represents the diagnostic time interval, typically 24 hours. The resulting output or plot of the ECG clock portrays a circular or polar mapping of the heart related variable such as QT interval over the diagnostic time interval, facilitating rapid diagnosis of volumes of electrocardiogram data by a medical practitioner that has heretofore not been possible. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention provides a thermal energy battery having an insulated tank containing a multitude of densely packed plastic tubes filled with a phase-change material (PCM, such as ice) that changes from solid to liquid and vice-versa. Energy is stored when the PCM transitions from liquid to solid form, and released when the PCM transitions back from solid to liquid form. The tubes are arranged vertically, span the height of a well-insulated tank, and are immersed in heat transfer fluid (HTF) contained within the tank. The HTF is an aqueous solution with a freezing point temperature below the freezing point temperature of the chosen PCM. The HTF remains in liquid form at all times during the operation of the battery. Diffusers located allow the HTF to be extracted uniformly from the tank, pumped and cooled by a liquid chiller situated outside the tank and then and inserted back into the tank. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides methods and systems for managing power in a processor having multiple cores. In one implementation, a microarchitecture of a core within a general-purpose processor may include configurable lanes (horizontal slices through the pipeline) which can be powered on and off independently from each other within the core. An online optimization algorithm may determine within a reasonably small fraction of a time slice a combination of lanes within different cores of the processor to be powered on that optimizes performance under a power constraint budget for the workload running on the general-purpose processor. The online optimization algorithm may use an objective function based on response surface models constructed to fit to a set of sampled data obtained by running the workload on the general-purpose processor with multiple cores, without running the full workload. In other implementations, the power supply to lanes can be gated. |

| ABSTRACT | A magnetoelectric memory cell with domain-wall-mediated switching is implemented using a split gate architecture. The split gate architecture allows a domain wall to be trapped within a magnetoelectric antiferromagnetic (MEAF) active layer. An extension of this architecture applies to multiple-gate linear arrays that can offer advantages in memory density, programmability, and logic functionality. Applying a small anisotropic in-plane shear strain to the MEAF can block domain wall precession to improve reliability and speed of switching. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of forming a low dielectric constant (low-k) dielectric is disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate and forming a dielectric including porogens over the substrate. While subjecting the dielectric to a first pressure, the dielectric is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The dielectric is also subject to a second pressure less than 1×10−3 Torr. While subjecting the dielectric to the second pressure, the dielectric is exposed to vacuum UV (VUV) radiation having one or more photon energies greater than 7 eV. Since it is difficult for VUV radiation to travel through a medium at a pressure greater than 10 Torr without being absorbed by intermittent materials, subjecting the dielectric to the second pressure creates a medium wherein the dielectric can be exposed to the VUV radiation. By exposing the dielectric to UV and VUV radiation, the dielectric can achieve a reduced dielectric constant and increased mechanical properties. |

| ABSTRACT | Non-crystalline silicon non-volatile resistive switching devices include a metal electrode, a non-crystalline silicon layer and a planar doped silicon electrode. An electrical signal applied to the metal electrode drives metal ions from the metal electrode into the non-crystalline silicon layer to form a conducting filament from the metal electrode to the planar doped silicon electrode to alter a resistance of the non-crystalline silicon layer. Another electrical signal applied to the metal electrode removes at least some of the metal ions forming the conducting filament from the non-crystalline silicon layer to further alter the resistance of the non-crystalline silicon layer. |

| ABSTRACT | The generation of photocurrent in an ideal two-dimensional Dirac spectrum is symmetry forbidden. In sharp contrast, a three-dimensional Weyl semimetal can generically support significant photocurrent due to the combination of inversion symmetry breaking and finite tilts of the Weyl spectrum. To realize this photocurrent, a noncentrosymmetric Weyl semimetal is coupled to a pair of electrodes and illuminated with circularly polarized light without any voltage applied to the Weyl semimetal. The wavelength of the incident light can range over tens of microns and can be adjusted by doping the Weyl semimetal to change its chemical potential. |

| ABSTRACT | A Forwarding Information Base (FIB) caching system and scheme that selects and generates a minimal number of non-overlapping prefixes for the FIB cache to improve computer-based network communications and operations efficiency, accuracy and speed. Because the cached prefixes do not cover any longer prefixes in the full FIB, the present invention thus avoids cache-hiding issues. The system further comprises a FIB caching updating component that systematically handles cache misses, cache replacement, and routing updates. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are processes for converting an unsaturated fatty acid into a saturated branched-chain fatty acid through a zeolite-catalyzed process and methods of economically regenerating and reusing the zeolite catalyst. The processes include subjecting the unsaturated fatty acid to an isomerization reaction to result in a selective conversion of the unsaturated fatty acid into the saturated branched-chain fatty acid. The reaction occurs in the presence of (i) an activated zeolite catalyst, (ii) an effective amount of water, and (iii) optionally an oligomerization reducing agent. The spent zeolite catalyst may be regenerated by heating to create a regenerated zeolite catalyst that is functional for use as the activated zeolite catalyst. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides a method for transforming an insect genome that has a much enhanced transformation frequency. The vectors and plasmids employed in the method are further described as transposition vectors that include a minimal amount of nucleotide sequence homologous to a 5′ region and a 3′ region of a native piggyBac nucleic acid sequence. The transformed cells or embryos may also be developed into transgenic organisms. Disclosed are minimal piggyBac-based plasmid constructs that comprises a minimal nucleic acid sequence homologous to a 5′ end of a piggyBac nucleic acid sequence (about 60-80 bp, particularly 66 bp) and a relatively long (300 to about 380 bp, particularly 311 bp or 378 bp) continuous nucleic acid sequence homologous to a 3′ end of a piggyBac native nucleic acid sequence. Methods employing these constructs include the use of a helper plasmid. Transformation frequencies employing the constructs are enhanced 100-fold or higher over that transformation frequency obtained using other than the herein described constructs. |

| ABSTRACT | A magnetoelectric memory cell with domain-wall-mediated switching is implemented using a split gate architecture. The split gate architecture allows a domain wall to be trapped within a magnetoelectric antiferromagnetic (MEAF) active layer. An extension of this architecture applies to multiple-gate linear arrays that can offer advantages in memory density, programmability, and logic functionality. Applying a small anisotropic in-plane shear strain to the MEAF can block domain wall precession to improve reliability and speed of switching. |

| ABSTRACT | A quantum mechanical radio frequency (RF) signaling system includes a transmission line that receives and conducts an RF pulse signal operating at a radio frequency, a first qubit having a quantum mechanical state that is a linear combination of at least two quantum mechanical eigenstates, and a first network of reactive electrical components having an input that is coupled to the transmission line for receiving the RF pulse signal and an output that is coupled to the first qubit. The first network of reactive electrical components attenuates the amplitude of the RF pulse signal and produces a first attenuated RF pulse signal that is applied to the first qubit. The first attenuated RF pulse signal operates at the radio frequency and has a first attenuated amplitude that causes a predefined change in the linear combination of at least two quantum mechanical eigenstates within the first qubit. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a method for obtaining a broadly neutralizing antibody (bNab), including screening memory B cell cultures from a donor PBMC sample for neutralization activity against a plurality of HIV-1 species, cloning a memory B cell that exhibits broad neutralization activity; and rescuing a monoclonal antibody from that memory B cell culture. The resultant monoclonal antibodies may be characterized by their ability to selectively bind epitopes from the Env proteins in native or monomeric form, as well as to inhibit infection of HIV-1 species from a plurality of clades. Compositions containing human monoclonal anti-HIV antibodies used for prophylaxis, diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection are provided. Methods for generating such antibodies by immunization using epitopes from conserved regions within the variable loops of gp120 are provided. Immunogens for generating anti-HIV1 bNAbs are also provided. Furthermore, methods for vaccination using suitable epitopes are provided. |

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, October 02, 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.
