| ABSTRACT | As microbial drug-resistance increases, there is a critical need for new classes of compounds to combat infectious diseases. The Ixodes scapularis tick antifreeze glycoprotein, IAFGP, functions as an anti-infective agent against diverse bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Recombinant IAFGP and a peptide, PI, described herein and derived from this protein, bind to microbes and alter biofilm formation. Transgenic iafgp-expressing flies and mice challenged with bacteria, as well as wild-type animals administered IAFGP or PI, were resistant to infection, septic shock, or biofilm development on implanted biomaterials. Antifreeze protein controls bacterial infection and present new therapeutic strategies to counter pathogens. |

| ABSTRACT | Vaccines and methods of inoculation for conferring immunity to Cryptococcus infection are disclosed. Strains of Cryptococcus fungi, including Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii, can be administered to a human or animal subject via inhalation. Cryptococcus fungi that can be used to confer immunity can comprise one or more mutations in genes that contribute to chitosan production, such as genes encoding a chitin deacetylase (cda), a chitin synthase (chs) and/or a regulator of chitin synthase (csr). Inhalation administration of heat-killed Cryptococcus harboring deletions in cda1, cda2 and cda3 genes can confer immunity. In a murine model system, inhalation administration of Cryptococcus neoformans harboring deletions in cda1, cda2 and cda3 genes conferred immunity against subsequent exposure to wild type Cryptococcus neoformans in 100% of test animals. Inhalation administration of heat-killed Cryptococcus grown under conditions leading to reduced chitosan production can also confer immunity. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to biotechnology, more particularly, to water-soluble polymeric delivery systems for the imaging, evaluation and/or treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. Using modern MR imaging techniques, the specific accumulation of macromolecules in arthritic joints in adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats is demonstrated. The strong correlation between the uptake and retention of the MR contrast agent labeled polymer with histopathological features of inflammation and local tissue damage demonstrates the practical applications of the macromolecular delivery system of the invention. |

| ABSTRACT | Described are methods and apparatus, referred to as “temperature-lock,” which can control and stabilize the sample temperature in an NMR spectrometer, in some instances with a precision and an accuracy of below about 0.1 K. In conventional setups, sample heating caused by experiments with high-power radio frequency pulses is not readily detected and is corrected by a cumbersome manual procedure. In contrast, the temperature-lock disclosed herein automatically maintains the sample at the same reference temperature over the course of different NMR experiments. The temperature-lock can work by continuous or non-continuous measurement of the resonance frequency of a suitable temperature-lock nucleus and simultaneous adaptation of a temperature control signal to stabilize the sample at a reference temperature value. Inter-scan periods with variable length can be used to maintain the sample at thermal equilibrium over the full length of an experiment. |

| ABSTRACT | Vascular scaffolds and methods of fabricating the same are disclosed for tissue engineering of vascular constructs. By combining electrospun matrices with cell sheet technologies, vascular constructs with more mature cell layers can be obtained for reconstruction of blood vessels, heart valves and the like. A engineered smooth muscle cell sheet, wrapped around an electrospun vascular scaffold, is able to provide a mature SMC layer that expresses strong cell-to-cell junction markers and contractile proteins. In addition, preconditioning of the cell sheet covered vascular scaffold maintained cell viability and infiltration into the scaffold. |

| ABSTRACT | Ultrathin layers of organic polymers or organic-inorganic hybrid polymers are deposited onto a substrate using molecular layer deposition methods. The process uses vapor phase materials which contain a first functional group and react only monofunctionally at the surface to add a unit to the polymer chain. The vapor phase reactant in addition has a second functional group, which is different from the first functional group, or a blocked, masked or protected functional group, or else has a precursor to such a functional group. |

| ABSTRACT | A syntactic metal foam composite that is substantially fully dense except for syntactic porosity is formed from a mixture of ceramic microballoons and matrix forming metal. The ceramic microballoons have a uniaxial crush strength and a much higher omniaxial crush strength. The mixture is continuously constrained while it is consolidated. The constraining force is less than the omniaxial crush strength. The substantially fully dense syntactic metal foam composite is then constrained and deformation worked at a substantially constant volume. This deformation causes at least work hardening and grain refinement in the matrix metal. The resulting deformed syntactic metal foam composite has an energy absorption capacity that is at least 1.5 to 2 or 3 times or more the energy absorption capacity of the precursor substantially fully dense syntactic metal foam composite. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for controlling gene expression in yeast comprises a repressible gene expression plasmid that has a regulator binding sequence for camR and a target gene sequence. The system also includes a transcription enhancer expression plasmid; wherein said transcriptional activator protein binds to the regulator binding sequence in the absence of a transcriptional inhibitor. The system is used in a method for controlling expression of the target gene through the use of camphor. The target gene is expressed in the absence of camphor but unexpressed if camphor is added to a solution of cells containing the plasmids. |

| ABSTRACT | The methods and apparatus described herein are designed and configured to allow one user to test cable continuity using a wire-configurable directional connector. The methods and apparatus may transmit a first and second voltage pulse through a first and second wire of a cable under test, respectively, having a wire-configurable directional connector attached. Both voltage pulses travel through the wire-configurable directional connector. The first voltage pulse selectively leaves at least one of the second wire and a third wire of the cable under test and the second voltage pulse selectively leaves the third wire. The methods and apparatus may store a pre-determined pattern of a returning voltage pulse specific to the cable under test, and determine a state of the first, second, and third wires in response to receiving the first and second voltage pulses. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments relate to characterizing underwater turbulence. Initially, multispectral laser light (MLL) is generated and then converted to output laser light (OLL). The OLL is received at a polarization rotator that causes the OLL to be emitted in one of multiple modes of polarization. Next, the OLL is directed toward a target medium, where the OLL causes backscattered light to be emitted from the target medium. While using the polarization rotator to switch between the multiple modes of polarization, Stokes parameters of the backscattered light are detected and then used to characterize the underwater turbulence of the target medium. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and method are provided for producing portable, high power, broadband terahertz emitters based on arrayed terahertz photoconductive antennas. After such an arrayed structure is made, the phase of terahertz signals that are produced by each photoconductive antenna can be adjusted, and the terahertz signals can be added such that the signals are added constructively. Terahertz emitters based on terahertz photoconductive antenna arrays are advantageously small in size and scalable, allowing for terahertz power to be increased by adding more photoconductive antenna arrays. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure provides a closed-loop controller for a controlled system comprising a comparison element generating an error e, a compensator generating a control uN value based on the error e, and a control allocator determining a manipulated parameter uM value based on the control uN. The control allocator typically utilizes a control effectiveness function and determines uM value by selecting one or more specific system x0 signals from the system state xi or system input yj values or system parameters values pk reported, defining a plurality of distributed xD around each specific system x0 signal, and minimizing an error function E(zi), where the error function E(zi) is based on errors which arise from use of the plurality of distributed xD in the control effectiveness function rather than one or more specific system x0 signals. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for isolating vibrations from a source on a structure includes modeling the structure as a beam having a portion for isolation. A sensor is positioned proximate to the source, and at least one actuator is positioned on the structure between the source and the portion for isolation. A controller receives signals from the sensor and calculates vibrational inputs for each actuator that will isolate the structure portion. Driving signals are provided to each actuator by the controller in response to the calculated vibrational inputs, and each actuator is vibrated accordingly, isolating the structure portion from the source. This method can be implemented in multiple configurations to isolate the structure portion. |

| ABSTRACT | Under one aspect, a method for performing a linear algebra operation includes imposing matrix elements onto a chirped optical carrier; inputting into a multi-mode optic the matrix elements imposed on the chirped optical carrier; outputting by the multi-mode optic a speckle pattern based on the matrix elements imposed on the optical carrier; and performing a linear algebra operation on the matrix elements based on the speckle pattern. The matrix elements can be from matrix A and a vector b, and the multi-mode optic can optically transform each of matrix A and vector b by a speckle transformation S, so as to output a speckle pattern including elements of a matrix SA of dimension p,n and matrix elements of a vector Sb of dimension p. The linear algebra operation can include generating {tilde over (x)}=(SA)†Sb, wherein † indicates a pseudo-inverse operation. |

| ABSTRACT | A portable x-ray computed tomography (CT) system may utilize algebraic reconstruction techniques (ART) to produce 3D volume images from tens of shots or less. The system may be deployed as desired where x-ray source and detector positions are not known beforehand. A fast, accurate matrix may be formed relating voxels to detector pixels via a modified ray tracing algorithm, eliminating artifacts caused by approaches using rough approximations. Masking or recombination may be performed to remove detector pixels that are not part of a region of interest (ROI) or lump the pixels together as one unknown, significantly reducing matrix size, and hence, computation time. The positions and orientations of the x-ray source and detector may be treated as unknowns and refined to optimize a volume image metric. For example, the optimized metric could be image contrast, image sparsity, or total variation. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for controlling epidural spinal cord stimulation. Using an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), the system receives sensed physiological signals from a subject and, based on the sensed physiological signals, estimating an unobservable state of a target area on the subject. A central pattern generator is then used to generate a stimulation pattern based on the unobservable state. The stimulation pattern is applied to the target area (e.g., spinal cord) of the subject using an electrode array. Receiving feedback, the UKF continuously updates a model of the spinal cord, which results in adjustment of the stimulation pattern as necessary. |

| ABSTRACT | A high voltage radio frequency (RF) coaxial cable connector. The high voltage RF coaxial cable connector may withstand high voltages (e.g., above 200 kV) and may provide impedance matching at RF frequencies. The high voltage RF coaxial cable connector may comprise a bulkhead connector and coaxial cable connector, both of which may be adapted to electrically couple a coaxial cable to a bulkhead. As the bulkhead connector matingly engages the coaxial cable connector, a first air gap may form therebetween, having an impedance determined, at least in part, by an air gap distance between the dielectrics inserts of the bulkhead connector and the coaxial cable connector. A second air gap may also be formed between the center conductor plug portion and shield portion of a coaxial cable coupled by the coaxial cable connector. The second air gap may have approximately the same air gap distance as the first air gap. |

| ABSTRACT | A radio frequency receiver subject to a large in-band interferor employs active cancellation with coarse and at least one fine cancellation signal, each with a respective radio frequency combiner, in order to increase the effective dynamic range of the receiver for weak signals of interest. One or both can be digitally synthesized. This is particularly applicable for co-site interference, whereby the interfering transmit signal is directly accessible. A similar system and method may also be applied to external interferors such as those produced by deliberate or unintentional jamming signals, or by strong multipath signals. An adaptive algorithm may be used for dynamic delay and gain matching. In a preferred embodiment, a hybrid technology hybrid temperature system incorporates both superconducting and semiconducting components to achieve enhanced broadband performance. |

| ABSTRACT | Advanced combustion modes, such as PCCI, operate near the system stability limits. In PCCI, the combustion event begins without a direct combustion trigger in contrast to traditional spark-ignited gasoline engines and direct-injected diesel engines. The lack of a direct combustion trigger encourages the usage of model-based controls to provide robust control of the combustion phasing. The nonlinear relationships between the control inputs and the combustion system response often limit the effectiveness of traditional, non-model-based controllers. Accurate knowledge of the system states and inputs is helpful for implementation of an effective nonlinear controller. A nonlinear controller is developed and implemented to control the engine combustion timing during diesel PCCI operation by targeting desired values of the in-cylinder oxygen concentration, pressure, and temperature during early fuel injection. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a hybrid memory module bridge network and buffers are disclosed. A system includes one or more host processors and multiple memory modules. Each memory module includes a relatively low pin count, high-bandwidth serial link to one or more other memory modules to perform inter-memory data transfers without consuming host-memory bandwidth. In one embodiment, a first memory module acts as a cache and a second memory module acts as the main memory for the system. The traffic between the host and the first memory module utilizes a first interface, and the cache traffic between the first and second memory modules utilizes a second interface. Cache line fill and writeback transfers between the first and second memory modules occur in parallel with timing-critical cache demand accesses from the host, in a latency-tolerant and buffered manner, without interfering with the cache demand accesses. |

| ABSTRACT | Various technologies presented herein relate to forming one or more heat dissipating structures (e.g., heat spreaders and/or heat sinks) on a substrate, wherein the substrate forms part of an electronic component. The heat dissipating structures are formed from graphene, with advantage being taken of the high thermal conductivity of graphene. The graphene (e.g., in flake form) is attached to a diazonium molecule, and further, the diazonium molecule is utilized to attach the graphene to material forming the substrate. A surface of the substrate is treated to comprise oxide-containing regions and also oxide-free regions having underlying silicon exposed. The diazonium molecule attaches to the oxide-free regions, wherein the diazonium molecule bonds (e.g., covalently) to the exposed silicon. Attachment of the diazonium plus graphene molecule is optionally repeated to enable formation of a heat dissipating structure of a required height. |

| ABSTRACT | A processor includes a transistor pair of a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor of the transistor pair is coupled to a Spaser and configured to output a drive current to the Spaser to pump the Spaser. Responsive to the drive current, the Spaser outputs surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) which are fed to a plasmonic interconnect wire. The plasmonic interconnect wire propagates the SPPs. Further, the SPPs propagated on the plasmonic interconnect wire are detected by a phototransistor. Responsive to detecting the SPPs, the phototransistor generates an output current that is fed to a gate terminal of the second transistor to charge the second transistor. |

| ABSTRACT | The analysis tool employs a computer-implemented algorithm that uses homotopy-based approaches to map the solution from the exit point to the controlling unstable equilibrium point (UEP). The computational time is reduced significantly by using an approximate exit point rather than computing an accurate exit point as it is required in finding the controlling UEPs using traditional transient stability direct methods. In addition, this method eliminates the necessity of computing the minimum gradient point (MGP) which is a key element in using Newton methods. These properties provide an advantage to homotopy-based approaches over traditional iterative methods in terms of both speed of computation and reliability of finding solutions. |

| ABSTRACT | A power-delivery system may comprise a load device and a direct-current converter configured to deliver current to the load device when the direct-current converter is in an on state. The power-deliver system may comprise a voltage-measurement system configured to measure, at a beginning of each measurement cycle in a cyclic measurement pattern, a voltage at the load device. The power-deliver system may comprise a power controller configure to receive, at the beginning of each measurement cycle, the measurement of the voltage, and to perform, at the beginning of a control cycle in a cyclic control pattern, a voltage-control decision in response to a change in the measurement of the voltage being below a voltage-change threshold. The voltage-control decision may comprise whether to switch the state of the first direct-current converter. The cyclic control pattern may operate at a first frequency, and the measurement pattern may operate at a second frequency. |

| ABSTRACT | The described embodiments include an apparatus that controls voltages for an integrated circuit chip having a set of circuits. The apparatus includes a switching voltage regulator separate from the integrated circuit chip and two or more low dropout (LDO) regulators fabricated on the integrated circuit chip. The switching voltage regulator provides an output voltage that is received as an input voltage by each of the two or more LDO regulators, and each of the two or more LDO regulators provides a local output voltage, each local output voltage received as a local input voltage by a different subset of the circuits in the set of circuits. During operation, a controller sets an operating point for each of the subsets of circuits based on a combined power efficiency for the subsets of the circuits and the LDO regulators, each operating point including a corresponding frequency and voltage. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments of the invention pertain to the use of alloyed semiconductor nanocrystals for use in solar cells. The use of alloyed semiconductor nanocrystals offers materials that have a flexible stoichiometry. The alloyed semiconductor may be a ternary semiconductor alloy, such as AxB1-xC or AB1-yCy, or a quaternary semiconductor alloy, such as AxByC1-x-yD, AxB1-xCyD1-y or ABxCyD1-x-y (where A, B, C, and D are different elements). In general, alloys with more than four elements can be used as well, although it can be much harder to control the synthesis and quality of such materials. Embodiments of the invention pertain to solar cells having a layer incorporating two or more organic materials such that percolated paths for one or both molecular species are created. Specific embodiments of the invention pertain to a method for fabricating nanostructured bulk heterojunction that facilitates both efficient exciton diffusion and charge transport. Embodiments of the subject invention pertain to a solar cell having an architecture that allows for efficient harvesting of solar energy. The organic solar cell architecture can incorporate a host/guest (or matrix/dopant) material system that utilizes the long diffusion lengths for triplet excitons without compromising light absorption efficiency. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for identifying and quantifying wrinkles in a composite structure by processing infrared image data. The intensity and first and second time derivatives thereof at a particular time can be displayed as thermography line profiles on a graph in which the horizontal axis represents the pixel number across the field of view of an infrared camera. The spatial derivatives of the foregoing thermography line profiles can also be calculated and displayed as a graph. The maximum amplitude (i.e., height) of an out-of-plane wrinkle can be determined using a correlation/calibration curve that is constructed by correlating infrared image data with optical measurement data. In addition, the wavelength and maximum amplitude of an in-plane wrinkle can be measured directly from the thermography line profiles. |

| ABSTRACT | A laser beam expander has at least two negative lenses with adjustable collimation. The amount of required motion can be reduced by an order of magnitude over single negative lens approaches by splitting the input lens in two and adjusting the small remaining air gap between the lenses. The change in collimation may be accomplished by heating/cooling (i.e., thermal), mechanical motion (e.g., motors), electro-optical means (e.g., applying or reducing an electric current), any combination thereof, or any other suitable mechanism. |

| ABSTRACT | Various embodiments may provide a low temperature (i.e., less than 850° C.) method of Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) on sapphire (Al2O3) (SiGe/sapphire) growth that may produce a single crystal film with less thermal loading effort to the substrate than conventional high temperature (i.e., temperatures above 850° C.) methods. The various embodiments may alleviate the thermal loading requirement of the substrate, which in conventional high temperature (i.e., temperatures above 850° C.) methods had surface temperatures within the range of 850° C.-900° C. The various embodiments may provide a new thermal loading requirement of the sapphire substrate for growing single crystal SiGe on the sapphire substrate in the range of about 450° C. to about 500° C. |

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 09, 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 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.
