| ABSTRACT | A method for providing vision correction to a patient. The method includes: (a) measuring the degree of vision correction needed by the patient and determining the location and shape of refractive structures that need to be positioned within the cornea to partially correct a patient's vision; (b) directing and focusing femtosecond laser pulses in the blue spectral region within the cornea at an intensity high enough to change the refractive index of the cornea within a focal region, but not high enough to damage the cornea or to affect cornea tissue outside of the focal region; and (c) scanning the laser pulses across a volume of the cornea or the lens to provide the focal region with refractive structures in the cornea or the lens. Again, the refractive structures are characterized by a change in refractive index, and exhibit little or no scattering loss. |

| ABSTRACT | Core-shell particles have a hydrophobic core and a shell formed of or containing hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG). The HPG can be covalently bound to the one or more materials that form the core or coated thereon. The HPG coating can be modified to adjust the properties of the particles. For example, unmodified HPG coatings impart stealth properties to the particles which resist non-specific protein absorption. Alternatively, the hydroxyl groups on the HPG coating can be chemically modified to form functional groups that react with functional groups on tissue or otherwise interact with tissue to adhere the particles to the tissue, cells, or extracellular materials, such as proteins. Such functional groups include, but not limited to, aldehydes, amines, and O-substituted oximes. Topical formulation for application to the skin contain these HPG coated nanoparticles. In some embodiments, the particles include therapeutic, diagnostic, nutraceutical, and/or prophylactic agents such as those used as sunblock compositions. |

| ABSTRACT | Biopharmaceuticals, such as vaccine agents and probiotics, are encapsulated in carbohydrate-glass particles and embedded in an amorphous polymer substrate to produce polymeric compositions containing ambient-temperature stable biopharmaceuticals for syringeless administration to patients such as via dissolvable films, micro-needle patches and similar medical delivery devices. The amorphous polymer substrate is soluble in both water and volatile organic solvents, yet the carbohydrate-glass particles are insoluble in organic solvents. A method for formulation of the polymeric compositions containing ambient-temperature stable biopharmaceuticals includes combining biopharmaceuticals encapsulated in carbohydrate-glass particles with polymer in organic solvent and evaporating the organic solvent to yield a water soluble polymeric composition containing ambient-temperature stable biopharmaceuticals. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides for compositions and methods for modulating hematopoetic stem cell populations by using HCS modulators, which are agents that either increase HSC numbers or decrease HSC numbers as desired by a particular indication. For example, HSC modulators found to increase HSC numbers include prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and agents that stimulate the PGE2 pathway. Conversely, HSC modulators that prevent PGE2 synthesis decrease HSC numbers. HCS modulators may be used in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided herein are biomolecular hybridization devices comprising a substrate with a permanently and covalently attached surface of functional groups and an adsorbed monolayer of unmodified, single-stranded oligonucleotides all of which are 10 to about 24 bases in length as a saturated film of constrained oligonucleotides on the surface via direct non-covalent phosphate-surface adsorptive contact of substantially all phosphate groups of each oligonucleotide. The constrained oligonucleotides are effective to dissociably hybridize to a complementary single-stranded nucleic acid with asymmetric, non-helical base pairing and without oligonucleotide dissociation from the surface of the device. Also, provided are methods for hybridizing solution-state target nucleic acids to probe nucleic acids and for identifying a nucleotide sequence to which a nucleotide-binding protein binds using the biomolecular hybridization devices. |

| ABSTRACT | Antibody VRC01 represents a human immunoglobulin that neutralizes—˜90% of diverse HIV-1 isolates. To understand how such broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibodies develop and recognize the viral envelope, we used X-ray crystallography and 454 pyrosequencing to characterize additional antibodies from HIV-1-infected individuals. Crystal structures revealed a convergent mode of binding of different antibodies to the same CD4-binding-site epitope. Antibody recognition was achieved through the evolution of complementary contact domains that were generated in diverse ways. Phylogenetic analysis of expressed heavy and light chains determined by deep sequencing revealed a common pathway of antibody heavy chain maturation confined to IGHV1-2*02 lineage that could pair with different light chains. The maturation pathway inferred by antibodyomics reveals that diverse antibodies evolve to a highly affinity-matured state to recognize an invariant viral structure, providing insight into the development and evolution of broadly neutralizing HIV-1 immunity. |

| ABSTRACT | Cranial placodes are embryonic structures essential for sensory and endocrine organ development. The efficient derivation of cranial placodes from human pluripotent stem cells is disclosed where the timed removal of the BMP inhibitor Noggin, a component of the dual-SMAD inhibition strategy of neural induction, triggers placode induction at the expense of CNS fates. Further fate specification at the pre-placode stage enables the selective generation of placode-derived trigeminal ganglia capable of in vivo engraftment, mature lens fibers and anterior pituitary hormone-producing cells that upon transplantation produce hormones including, but not limited to, human growth hormone and adrenocortiocotropic hormone in vivo. Alternatively, anterior pituitary hormone-producing cells are generated in cell culture systems in vitro. |

| ABSTRACT | There is provided a novel method and circuit of compensating for cross-talk between pairs of adjacent array elements of a transceiver phased array and double-tuned transceiver arrays for a magnetic resonance system using a resonant inductive decoupling circuit. The geometry and size of the resonant inductive decoupling circuit allows for the decoupling circuit to compensate for the cross-talk between array elements, including the reactive and resistive components of the mutual impedance while being sufficiently small to not distort a RF magnetic field of the array elements produced within a sample. |

| ABSTRACT | An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a method of non-invasively detecting and imaging temperature or temperature changes by assessing the temperature induced shifts in the saturation spectrum of water using MRI, namely saturation shift referencing. This procedure includes the MRI procedures to assess water saturation spectrum and the data processing steps to determine the temperature induced shifts of water resonance frequency and consequently to estimate the temperature change. This procedure also includes the procedure of assessing fat saturation spectrum and estimating fat resonance frequency. This method can be used as a clinical procedure for temperature mapping in multiple applications, especially where a significant amount of fat is present. One application is to monitor the temperature of the targeted tumor and its surrounding tissues during the procedure of hyperthermia. Such local hyperthermia can be applied, using high-intensity focus-ultrasound for deep-seated tissues or heating supplies for superficial tissues. |

| ABSTRACT | A target tissue can be treated with a radioisotope. Some methods for treating a target tissue with a radioisotope include determining a distance between a target tissue and a surface of a matrix material to be positioned adjacent the target tissue and, based on the determined distance, determining an activity to be mixed with the matrix material to obtain a desired activity concentration. Some methods further include mixing the radioisotope with the matrix material. In some embodiments, the matrix material comprises bone cement, and the target tissue is a tumor in a bone. The radioisotope may be a beta-emitting radioisotope mixed in the cement at a concentration to form a radioactive cement. |

| ABSTRACT | A carrier gas recovery system for use in cold spray manufacturing recovers carrier gas utilized during the cold spray process and recycles the carrier gas for immediate use or stores the carrier gas for future use. The carrier gas recovery system includes an enclosure subsystem, a filtration subsystem, a reclamation subsystem, and a compensation subsystem. An article is placed in the enclosure and particulate matter is carried to the article on a carrier gas stream. Carrier gas in the enclosure is filtered through the filtration subsystem to remove particulate from the carrier gas, and the filtered carrier gas is fed to the reclamation subsystem. The carrier gas either flows to a gas separator, to increase the concentration of carrier gas, or to the compensation subsystem if the carrier gas concentration is sufficiently high. The carrier gas can be stored in the compensation subsystem or used in further cold spray manufacturing. |

| ABSTRACT | Monodisperse particles having: a single pure crystalline phase of a rare earth-containing lattice, a uniform three-dimensional size, and a uniform polyhedral morphology are disclosed. Due to their uniform size and shape, the monodisperse particles self assemble into superlattices. The particles may be luminescent particles such as down-converting phosphor particles and up-converting phosphors. The monodisperse particles of the invention have a rare earth-containing lattice which in one embodiment may be an yttrium-containing lattice or in another may be a lanthanide-containing lattice. The monodisperse particles may have different optical properties based on their composition, their size, and/or their morphology (or shape). Also disclosed is a combination of at least two types of monodisperse particles, where each type is a plurality of monodisperse particles having a single pure crystalline phase of a rare earth-containing lattice, a uniform three-dimensional size, and a uniform polyhedral morphology; and where the types of monodisperse particles differ from one another by composition, by size, or by morphology. In a preferred embodiment, the types of monodisperse particles have the same composition but different morphologies. Methods of making and methods of using the monodisperse particles are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | A ladar device that has a linear frequency-modulated laser source that produces a primary beam. An optical shear generator spectrally shears the primary beam into no less than three sensing beams. An optical output delivers at least one of the sensing beams toward a target. The sensing beams reflect from the target to produce reflected beams. An optical receiver receives the reflected beams and produces reflected beam signals corresponding to characteristics of the reflected beams. A processor receives the reflected beam signals and produces a deviation matrix, without the use of a local oscillator. The deviation matrix is used to produce a reconstruction of the target, which is output on an electrical signal output. |

| ABSTRACT | A non-contacting aerodynamic jet tool for collecting particles and vapors associated with surfaces. Opposing planar jets or planar jet arrays are used to liberate material from surfaces so that resuspended particulate matter and vapors can be collected for analysis. In operation, high-speed valves are triggered to create waveforms of high velocity pressurized planar jet bursts. The wall jets that traverse the surfaces exhibit unexpectedly high wall surface stress with velocity spikes characteristic of a chain of shock waves. Unlike axisymmetric jets, the wall jet tool flows over the target surface for a greater distance with wall shear stress having sufficient momentum to dislodge particles submerged in the boundary layer, dramatically improving sampling efficiency by lifting the particles and vapors from the boundary layer into a sampling intake for downstream analysis. |

| ABSTRACT | A metabolic profiling approach for identifying biomarkers that provide highly sensitive and specific colorectal cancer (CRC) detection and monitoring using serum samples. The methods can be used for distinguishing CRC patients from both healthy controls and polyp patients, as well as to monitor disease progression or response to therapy. Receiver operator characteristic curves generated based on these models showed high sensitivities for differentiating CRC patients from healthy controls or polyp patients, good specificities, low false discovery rates, and excellent areas under the curve were obtained. Monte Carlo cross validation (MCCV) was also applied, demonstrating the robust diagnostic power of this metabolic profiling approach. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments relate to a system and methods for isolating the inertial and non-inertial components of a velocity field in a body of water, and further provides methods for predicting a path of an object in a body of water and for identifying an initial location in the water at which an object should be placed so that it travels to a desired location. The methods in some cases can partition a time series of velocity fields into inertial and non-inertial components in such a way that accounts for the variation of the inertial period over the range of latitudes within the field and maintains the fidelity of non-inertial variability over both shorter and longer time scales. The embodiments seperate the less-reliable inertial components from the more-reliable non-inertial background, enabling straightforward calculation of transport due to the non-inertial flow and evaluation of the superposition of inertial oscillations. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and related methods for determining precision navigation solutions decorrelates GPS carrier-phase ambiguities derived from multiple-source GPS information via Least-squares AMBiguity Decorrelation Adjustment (LAMBDA) algorithms, and fixes a subset of the decorrelated integer ambiguities within the LAMBDA domain. To maintain high accuracy, a partial almost fix solution is generated using the subset of the decorrelated ambiguities to be fixed in the LAMBDA domain. The subset of decorrelated ambiguities is used to compute protection levels and the probability of almost fix (PAF), or that the navigation solution corresponding to the decorrelated ambiguities is within the region of correctly-fixed or low-error almost-fixed ambiguities. The partial list of fixed ambiguities is used to generate the optimal navigation solution (floating-point, partial almost-fix, or fully fixed) while maintaining protection levels within alert limits and PAF above the desired threshold. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides a spring bias that is particularly suited for use to preload a low profile ferrule of an optical connector. In accordance with the present invention, an axial preload is applied to a connector ferrule by a spring structure provided external of the connector. In one embodiment, spring structure is provided outside a plurality of optical fiber connectors, which provides axial preload of multiple ferrules. Each ferrule could be of the type that supports a plurality of optical fibers of a fiber cable. In one embodiment, the spring bias is effected by a planar flexure external of the connector. The ferrule is coupled to the planar flexure with its longitudinal axis through the center of the planar flexure. The planar flexure is structured with flexure members in a plane that are configured to not create any torque load on the ferrule, or if torque loading is present, insignificant torque load to cause misalignment of the ferrule, when the flexure flexes out of its nominal plane to create an axial preload on the ferrule. In another embodiment, a common yoke is applied to bias planar flexures against a plurality of ferrules, wherein a planar flexure is coupled to each ferrule connector. In a further embodiment of the present invention, instead of using planar flexures, a yoke is provided to apply an axial preload to all ferrule connectors coupled to the yoke, by means of a coil spring applied to center of the yoke, external of the ferrule connectors. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for collision detection and avoidance estimation using sub-region based optical flow. During operation, the system estimates time-to-contact (TTC) values for an obstacle in multiple regions-of-interest (ROI) in successive image frames as obtained from a monocular camera. Based on the TTC values, the system detects if there is an imminent obstacle. If there is an imminent obstacle, a path for avoiding the obstacle is determined based on the TTC values in the multiple ROI. Finally, a mobile platform is caused to move in the path as determined to avoid the obstacle. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for forming a photon absorbing layer. A substrate having a target surface is introduced into a controllable environment, and the pressure within the controllable environment is reduced. A first flux of a semiconductor material and a second flux of a dopant are simultaneously directed toward the target surface for a period of time, thereby producing a thickness of a substantially amorphous layer of the semiconductor material and dopant on the target surface. The semiconductor layer is laser annealed to convert it to a substantially multi-crystalline layer. |

| ABSTRACT | A reduced profile panel antenna is disclosed. A panel antenna configured according to an embodiment includes two opposing antenna arms disposed over a ground plane. The antenna arms include one or more corrugated or folded sections to increase the electrical path of the antenna arms within fixed physical dimensions (e.g., length and width) of the panel antenna. The panel antenna also includes passive filters to provide current loop paths of varying lengths for selected frequency ranges. Longer loop paths are employed for signals at lower frequencies (i.e., longer wavelengths) and shorter loop paths are employed for signals at higher frequencies (i.e., shorter wavelengths). The panel antenna further includes a ferrite plane disposed between the ground plane and the antenna arms to suppress radio frequency (RF) signal reflections and allow for a reduced antenna profile or thickness. |

| ABSTRACT | An optically pumped, flowing gas, alkali metal laser includes a gas passageway transporting an alkali metal vapor and a hydrocarbon buffer gas, and a laser propagation passageway intersects the gas passageway and forms a main cell at the intersection. A pump laser is directed into the main cell and produces a main laser beam in the laser propagation passageway. The flowing hydrocarbon buffer gas is disposed in the main cell with a density to induce spin-orbit relaxation in the alkali metal vapor. At least one window is disposed in the laser propagation passageway, and the window is protected from deposits of alkali metal or carbon by a heated leading edge in the laser propagation passageway that re-vaporizes alkali metal and returns it to the gas passageway via a convective gas flow. The window is further protected by a cold block that liquefies alkali metal and by a colder block that solidifies alkali metal in the laser propagation passageway. |

| ABSTRACT | Self-interference cancellers are provided. The self-interference cancellers can include multiple second-order, N-path Gm-C filters. Each filter can be configured to cancel self-interference on a channel of a desired bandwidth. Each filter can be independently controlled using a variable transmitter resistance, a variable receiver resistance, a variable baseband capacitance, a variable transconductance, and a variable time shift between local oscillators that control switches in the filter. By controlling these variables, magnitude, phase, slope of magnitude, and slope of phase of the cancellers frequency responses can be controlled for self-interference cancellation. A calibration process is also provided for configuring the canceller. |

| ABSTRACT | A communications headset system and method of use utilizing first and second headsets with integrated hearing protection for enabling users to wirelessly communicate when the hearing protection is engaged. Each headset is configured for placement onto a user's head and includes hearing protection cups that engage a user's ears and attenuate incoming sound waves external to the headset. The headsets include a first optical receiver that detects a light signal within a first receiving field-of-view and generates an incoming electrical signal corresponding to the light signal. A speaker converts the incoming electrical signal to an incoming audio signal, and then outputs the incoming audio signal as sound waves. A microphone converts outgoing sound waves to an outgoing electrical signal. An optical transmitter converts the outgoing electrical signal to one or more light signals and then broadcasts the one or more light signals within a broadcast field-of-view and a broadcast range. |

| ABSTRACT | High-performance ultra-wideband Phased Array Sensors (PAS) are disclosed, which have unique capabilities, enabled through photonic integrated circuits and novel optical architectures. Unique capabilities for a Receive PAS are provided by wafer scale photonic integration including heterogeneous integration of III-V materials and ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguides, combining key component technologies into complex PIC devices. Novel aspects include optical multiplexing combining wavelength division multiplexing and/or a novel extension to array photodetectors providing the capability to combine many RF photonic signals with very low loss. The architecture also includes optical down-conversion, as well as digital signal processing to improve the linearity of the system. Simultaneous multi-channel beamforming is achieved through optical power splitting of optical signals to create multiple exact replicas of the signals that are then processed independently. |

| ABSTRACT | Monodisperse particles having: a single pure crystalline phase of a rare earth-containing lattice, a uniform three-dimensional size, and a uniform polyhedral morphology are disclosed. Due to their uniform size and shape, the monodisperse particles self assemble into superlattices. The particles may be luminescent particles such as down-converting phosphor particles and up-converting phosphors. The monodisperse particles of the invention have a rare earth-containing lattice which in one embodiment may be an yttrium-containing lattice or in another may be a lanthanide-containing lattice. The monodisperse particles may have different optical properties based on their composition, their size, and/or their morphology (or shape). Also disclosed is a combination of at least two types of monodisperse particles, where each type is a plurality of monodisperse particles having a single pure crystalline phase of a rare earth-containing lattice, a uniform three-dimensional size, and a uniform polyhedral morphology; and where the types of monodisperse particles differ from one another by composition, by size, or by morphology. In a preferred embodiment, the types of monodisperse particles have the same composition but different morphologies. Methods of making and methods of using the monodisperse particles are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrochemical cell that allows for in-situ structural characterization of amorphous thin film materials during the course of electrolysis using high-energy X-ray scattering (>50 keV). The compact and versatile cell employs a three-electrode configuration and minimizes X-ray scattering contributions from the cell, reference and counter electrodes, as well as the working electrode support. A large surface area working electrode has a physically robust support and is largely transparent to X-rays. This design, which utilizes a three-dimensional working electrode, also greatly improves the intensity and quality of the scattered signal compared to a two-dimensional working electrode. The in-situ cell can be used not only to investigate structural evolution during electrolysis using X-ray scattering (e.g. pair distribution function), but also to perform electrochemical potential-dependent structural analysis by extended X-ray absorption fine structure. |

| ABSTRACT | Explosive geologic fracturing methods, devices, and systems can be used in combination with other geologic fracturing means, such as hydraulic fracturing methods, devices and systems, or other fluid-based fracturing means. An exemplary method comprises introducing an explosive system into a wellbore in a geologic formation, detonating the explosive system in the wellbore to fracture at least a first portion of the geologic formation adjacent to the wellbore, and introducing pressurized fluid into the wellbore to enhance the fracturing of the first portion of the geologic formation. Such multi-stage fracturing can further enhance the resulting fracturing of geologic formation relative to explosive fracturing alone. |

| ABSTRACT | A GDCI engine recirculates exhaust gases to a combustion chamber using desired early injection parameters for a steady state engine operation from a controller. An engine control system detects a load increase relative to the steady state engine operation, and insufficient recirculated exhaust gases to the combustion chamber are delivered in response to the detected load increase as a result of transport delays. A last fuel injection into the combustion chamber during an engine cycle with multiple fuel injections is delayed as compared to the steady state engine operation. Combustion phasing within the combustion chamber is retarded in response to the delayed injection. |

| ABSTRACT | A frequency resolved optical gating (FROG) system receives an ultrafast laser pulse as the “unknown wave” input to the system. The FROG system preferably generates a spectrogram (FROG trace) of the input pulse using a polarization gate, second harmonic generation or other FROG geometry. The system or method preferably analyzes the spectrogram using constrained outer products and principal component generalized projections to find characteristics of the unknown wave such as intensity and phase. Examples of constrained outer products include outer products that incorporate an external constraint such as spectral information or an internal constraint such as a relationship between the probe and gate components derived from the unknown wave. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for evaluating the pH of an aqueous solution by utilizing the optical properties of a pH sensing material includes optically active nanoparticles fixed to a substrate. The optically active nanoparticles have a localized refractive index modulation over a pH range from 2.0 to 12.0 of at least 1% and, where the plurality of optically active nanoparticles have an average nanoparticle diameter of less than about 500 nanometers. The method includes contacting the pH sensing material with the aqueous solution, illuminating the pH sensing material, and monitoring an optical signal generated through comparison of incident light and exiting light to determine the optical transmission, absorption, reflection, and/or scattering of the pH sensitive material. The optical signal of the pH sensitive material varies in response to the pH of the aqueous solution, providing a means by which the pH and any changes in the pH may be analyzed. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method of creating a shape-conforming lattice structure for a part formed via additive manufacturing. The method includes receiving a computer model of the part and generating a finite element mesh. A lattice structure including a number of lattice cellular components may also be generated. Some of the mesh elements of the finite element mesh may be deformed so that the finite element mesh conforms to the overall shape of the part. The lattice structure may then be deformed so that the lattice structure has a cellular periodicity corresponding to the finite elements of the finite element mesh. In this way, the part retains the benefits of its overall shape and the benefits of lattice features without introducing structural weak points, directional stresses, and other structural deficiencies. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus includes a battery state module that determines a battery state of each of a plurality of battery cells forming a battery unit. A battery state includes a health of the battery cell. A battery state of a battery cell differs from a battery state of other battery cells of the battery unit. Each battery cell is connected to a shared bus through a bypass converter that provides power from the battery cell to the shared bus. A charge/discharge modification module determines, based on battery state, an amount to vary a charging characteristic for each battery cell compared to a reference charging characteristic. Each charging characteristic varies as a function of a reference state. A charge/discharge module adjusts charging/discharging of a battery cell of the battery unit based on the charging characteristic of the battery cell. |

| ABSTRACT | Na+-SAPO-34 sorbents were ion-exchanged with several individual metal cations for CO2 absorption at different temperatures (273-348 K) and pressures (<1 atm). In general, the overall adsorption performance of the exchanged materials increased as follows: Ce3+<Ti3+<Mg2+<Ca2+<Ag+<Na+<Sr2+. The strontium exchanged materials excelled at low-pressure ranges, exhibiting very sharp isotherms slopes at all temperatures. The Sr2+ species were responsible for the surface strong interaction and the cations were occupying exposed sites (SII′) in the materials Chabazite cages. All the sorbent materials exhibited higher affinity for CO2 over the other gases tested (i.e., CH4, H2, N2 and O2) due to strong ion-quadrupole interactions. Sr2+-SAPO-34 sorbents are by far the best option for CO2 removal from CH4 mixtures, especially at low concentrations. |

| ABSTRACT | Porous networks are described linked by boronates. Also described are processes for producing the porous networks. The porous networks are formed by reacting a polyboronic acid with itself or with a polydiol, a polydiamine, or a polyamino alcohol. The resulting boronate linkage is covalently bonded. The characteristics and properties of the resulting porous material can be varied and altered by changing the reactants and by incorporating functional groups into the reactants. Of particular advantage, the porous materials can be formed at or near atmospheric pressure and at low temperature in the presence of one or more solvents. |

| ABSTRACT | Monodisperse particles having: a single pure crystalline phase of a rare earth-containing lattice, a uniform three-dimensional size, and a uniform polyhedral morphology are disclosed. Due to their uniform size and shape, the monodisperse particles self assemble into superlattices. The particles may be luminescent particles such as down-converting phosphor particles and up-converting phosphors. The monodisperse particles of the invention have a rare earth-containing lattice which in one embodiment may be an yttrium-containing lattice or in another may be a lanthanide-containing lattice. The monodisperse particles may have different optical properties based on their composition, their size, and/or their morphology (or shape). Also disclosed is a combination of at least two types of monodisperse particles, where each type is a plurality of monodisperse particles having a single pure crystalline phase of a rare earth-containing lattice, a uniform three-dimensional size, and a uniform polyhedral morphology; and where the types of monodisperse particles differ from one another by composition, by size, or by morphology. In a preferred embodiment, the types of monodisperse particles have the same composition but different morphologies. Methods of making and methods of using the monodisperse particles are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are provided for estimating power breakdowns for a set of one or more appliances inside a building by exploiting a small number of power meters and data indicative of binary power states of individual appliances of such set. In one aspect, a breakdown estimation problem is solved within a tree configuration, and utilizing a single power meter and data indicative of binary power states of a plurality of appliances. Based at least in part on such solution, an estimation quality metric is derived. In another aspect, such metric can be exploited in a methodology for optimally placing additional power meters to increase the estimation certainty for individual appliances to a desired or intended level. Estimated power breakdown and energy breakdown—individually or collectively referred to as consumption breakdown—rely on measurements and numerical simulations, and can be evaluated in exemplary electrical network utilizing binary sensors. |

| ABSTRACT | According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a near-eye optical see-through display. The display includes a backlight layer including a plurality of point light sources. The display further includes a spatial light modulator (SLM) layer for modulating light from the point light sources. The spatial light modulator is located in the optical path between the point light sources and a user's eye. The spatial light modulator layer includes pixels that are controllable to modulate light from the point light sources such that the light that impacts the user's eye has a desired intensity and color to display a synthetic image. At least a portion of the backlight layer and the spatial light modulator layer are optically transparent to allow a user to view a real scene through the spatial light modulator layer and the backlight layer such that the synthetic image appears to be overlaid on a view of the real scene. Each pixel in the spatial light modulator layer modulates only a portion of the light emanating from the point light sources such that the synthetic image appears to be in focus to the user's eye. |

| ABSTRACT | Reflectionless transmission line filters, as well as a method for designing such filters is disclosed. These filters preferably function by absorbing the stop-band portion of the spectrum rather than reflecting it back to the source, which has significant advantages in many different applications. The insertion of additional transmission line sections that change the phase response of the circuit without altering the amplitude response preferably allows follow-up transmission line identities to be applied in order to arrive at a more easily manufacturable filter topology. This facilitates their application over a higher frequency range the solely lumped-element circuits. |

| ABSTRACT | Na+-SAPO-34 sorbents were ion-exchanged with several individual metal cations for CO2 absorption at different temperatures (273-348 K) and pressures (<1 atm). In general, the overall adsorption performance of the exchanged materials increased as follows: Ce3+<Ti3+<Mg2+<Ca2+<Ag+<Na+<Sr2+. The strontium exchanged materials excelled at low-pressure ranges, exhibiting very sharp isotherms slopes at all temperatures. The Sr2+ species were responsible for the surface strong interaction and the cations were occupying exposed sites (SII′) in the materials Chabazite cages. All the sorbent materials exhibited higher affinity for CO2 over the other gases tested (i.e., CH4, H2, N2 and O2) due to strong ion-quadrupole interactions. Sr2+-SAPO-34 sorbents are by far the best option for CO2 removal from CH4 mixtures, especially at low concentrations. |

| ABSTRACT | A slat cove filler is utilized to reduce airframe noise resulting from deployment of a leading edge slat of an aircraft wing. The slat cove filler is preferably made of a super elastic shape memory alloy, and the slat cove filler shifts between stowed and deployed shapes as the slat is deployed. The slat cove filler may be configured such that a separate powered actuator is not required to change the shape of the slat cove filler from its deployed shape to its stowed shape and vice-versa. The outer contour of the slat cove filler preferably follows a profile designed to maintain accelerating flow in the gap between the slat cove filler and wing leading edge to provide for noise reduction. |

| ABSTRACT | A new and distinct blackberry cultivar that originated from seed produced from a cross between the female blackberry plant ‘ORUS 1393-1’ (unpatented) and the male blackberry plant ‘Triple Crown’ (unpatented). This new blackberry is unique in that it contains all three commercial blackberry types (trailing, erect, and semi-erect) in its pedigree as either a parent or a grandparent. This new blackberry cultivar can be distinguished by being early ripening for a semi-erect blackberry, by its medium-sized, firm berries with tough skin and very good flavor, by its medium to high yields borne on a vigorous plant with a semi-erect type growth habit and by its completely thornless canes. |

| ABSTRACT | High-performance ultra-wideband Phased Array Sensors (PAS) are disclosed, which have unique capabilities, enabled through photonic integrated circuits and novel optical architectures. Unique capabilities for a Receive PAS are provided by wafer scale photonic integration including heterogeneous integration of III-V materials and ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguides, combining key component technologies into complex PIC devices. Novel aspects include optical multiplexing combining wavelength division multiplexing and/or a novel extension to array photodetectors providing the capability to combine many RF photonic signals with very low loss. The architecture also includes optical down-conversion, as well as digital signal processing to improve the linearity of the system. Simultaneous multi-channel beamforming is achieved through optical power splitting of optical signals to create multiple exact replicas of the signals that are then processed independently. |

| ABSTRACT | Porous networks are described linked by boronates. Also described are processes for producing the porous networks. The porous networks are formed by reacting a polyboronic acid with itself or with a polydiol, a polydiamine, or a polyamino alcohol. The resulting boronate linkage is covalently bonded. The characteristics and properties of the resulting porous material can be varied and altered by changing the reactants and by incorporating functional groups into the reactants. Of particular advantage, the porous materials can be formed at or near atmospheric pressure and at low temperature in the presence of one or more solvents. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, devices and methods for receiving an item in a receptacle are disclosed. Features are disclosed for receiving and guiding an item in a receiving space of a receptacle so as to attenuate or remove the impact force of the item on the receptacle. Some embodiments of the disclosure include a bumper having an impact surface which absorbs most or all of the impact force of the item and thereby mitigates or removes the imposition of cyclic impact loads on the receptacle from repeated receipt of items. The bumper may be structurally and/or functionally de-coupled or otherwise physically separated from the receptacle such that an advantageous division of labor is created between absorbing the impact and receiving the item. This disclosure may be useful, for example, in modern industrial operations where a high volume of items are received daily, such as in mail sorting and handling operations. |

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, April 30, 2019.
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:
