| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for improving quantification of OCT angiography data are disclosed. The disclosure specifically relates to methods for compensating for the effect of tissue reflectance to improve the accuracy and repeatability of OCT angiography measurements. These improvements are effected by deriving and then utilizing a dynamic thresholding approach to process decorrelation data to properly classify flow versus non-flow data in OCT angiograms. The disclosed methods overcome quantification errors associated with within-scan variations in reflectance as well as repeatability problems associated with differences in scan quality over successive imaging sessions. |

| ABSTRACT | A model-independent method for producing a viscoelastic tissue property metric using ultrasound is provided. A mechanical stress, such as an acoustic force, is applied to a tissue during a creep period using an ultrasound system to generate a creep response. Tissue displacement resulting from the applied acoustic force is measured during a recovery period following the creep period. From the tissue displacement measurements, a relative complex modulus is extracted, and a loss tangent is calculated based on extracted complex modulus. Using the calculated loss tangent, viscoelastic tissue property metrics may be calculated. |

| ABSTRACT | Foamy macrophages with senescence markers accumulate in the subendothelial space at the onset of atherosclerosis where they drive pathology by increasing expression of key atherogenic and inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. In advanced lesions, senescent cells promote features of plaque instability, including elastic fiber degradation and fibrous cap thinning, by heightening metalloprotease production. This invention provides methods and materials for treating arthritis by removing senescent cells in or around atherosclerotic plaques, thereby stabilizing the plaques, inhibiting rupture of the plaques and pathological sequelae that manifest as coronary artery disease. |

| ABSTRACT | What is described is a novel genetic screen, involving recombinant technology and class I antigen cross-presentation, to search for supraoptimal superagonists of the 27L MART-1 mutant selecting for single amino acid substitution mutants of 27L that activate human antigen-specific CTL clones recognizing the wild-type MART-126-35 epitope. Three novel mutant epitopes are identified with superagonist properties that are functionally superior to 27L. The ability of a given analog to act as superagonist varies among patients. Also described is the use of methods to establish panels of potential superagonist APLs to individualize tumor peptide vaccines among patients. The methodology is replicated to identify APL to NYESO-1157-165 and NYESO-1157-170 tumor epitopes. A general method is described that is useful to produce a tumor vaccine to any tumor epitope. |

| ABSTRACT | In a patient suffering from neural impairment, stimulation is provided to sensory surfaces of the face and/or neck, or more generally to areas of the body that stimulate the trigeminal nerve, while performing an activity intended to stimulate a brain function to be rehabilitated. The simulation may then be continued after the performance of the activity has ceased. It has been found that the patient's performance of the activity is then improved after stimulation has ceased. Moreover, it tends to improve to a greater extent, and/or for a longer time, when the post-activity stimulation is applied, as compared to when post activity stimulation is not applied. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and methods are provided for generating intensity modulated proton therapy plans robust to various kinds of delivery uncertainties with the capability for treatment planners to control the balance between plan quality and robustness. The system obtains a representation of a subject and a proton beam configuration that describes a number of beamlets and their respective arrangement. The system computes an objective function, in the treatment planning system, first part of which is about dose deviations from the prescribed dose in the target volumes, second part of which is about dose deviations from the dose constraint in the non-target volumes, and computing dose volume constraints for targets using a probability to control the dose distribution in the target volumes to be between a lower threshold and an upper threshold. Based on this information, the system obtains a robust chance-constrained treatment planning model with a user-adjustable tolerance level. |

| ABSTRACT | A new class of antibiotics effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is disclosed (Formula V). Compounds of this class can impair cell-wall biosynthesis by binding to both the allosteric and the catalytic domains of penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 2a. This class of antibiotics holds promise in reversing obsolescence of staphylococcal PBPs as important targets for antibiotics. Embodiments of the invention thus provide novel antibacterial compounds that target penicillin-binding proteins and/or other important cellular targets. Methods for inhibiting the growth and/or replication of bacteria using the compounds described herein are also provided. Various embodiments exhibit activity against gram positive bacteria, including drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. |

| ABSTRACT | The subject invention pertains to a modified MC1R peptide ligand comprising a peptide that is a melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) ligand and a functionality or linker, such as a click functionality, for conjugation to a surface or agent. The modified MC1R peptide ligand can be coupled, e.g., via a click reaction with a complementary click functionality attached, to a moiety to form an MC1R-targeted agent. Drugs, contrast agents, polymers, particles, micelles, surfaces of larger structures, or other moieties can be targeted to the MC1R. The subject invention also pertains to a MC1R peptide ligand-micelle complex comprising a peptide that is a melanocortin 1 receptor ligand connected via a click reaction product to a micelle. The micelle is stable in vivo and can target melanoma tumor cells by association of the peptide ligand with the MC1R or the tumor and selectively provide a detectable and/or therapeutic agent (such as an imageable contrast agent and/or anti-cancer agent) selectively to the tumor cell. |

| ABSTRACT | Novel collagen mimics are disclosed with a tripeptide unit having the formula (Xaa-Yaa-Gly)n,where one of the positions Xaa or Yaa is a bulky, non-electron withdrawing proline derivative. By substituting a proline derivative at either the Xaa or Yaa position in the native collagen helix, the stability of the helix is increased due solely to steric effects relative to prior known collagen-related triple helices. Methods are also disclosed for making the novel collagen mimics. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided is an improved design of shRNA based on structural mimics of miR-451 precursors. These miR-451 shRNA mimics are channeled through a novel small RNA biogenesis pathway, require AGO2 catalysis and are processed by Drosha but are independent of DICER processing. This miRNA pathway feeds active elements only into Agog because of its unique catalytic activity. These data demonstrate that this newly identified small RNA biogenesis pathway can be exploited in vivo to produce active molecules. |

| ABSTRACT | An system for recognition of a translocating polymeric target molecule includes a device having at least one constriction that is sized to permit translocation of only a single copy of the molecule. A pair of spaced apart sensing electrodes border the constriction, which may be a nanopore. The first electrode is connected to a first affinity element and the second electrode is connected to a second affinity element. Each affinity element may connected to its corresponding electrode via one or more intermediary compounds, such as a linker molecule and/or an electrode attachment molecule. The first and second affinity elements are configured to temporarily form hydrogen bonds with first and second portions of the target molecule as the latter passes through the constriction. During translocation, the electrodes affinity elements and first and second portions of the target molecule complete an electrical circuit and allow a measurable electrical current to pass between the first and second electrodes. The time-varying nature of this electrical current, and the specific affinity elements employed, allow one to characterize the target molecule. |

| ABSTRACT | A programmable modular protein architecture for RNA binding comprises a set of modules, derived from RNA-binding protein Pumilio, that can be concatenated into chains of varying composition and length. When bound into a chain, each module has a preferred affinity for a specific RNA base. The chains can bind arbitrary RNA sequences with high specificity and fidelity by varying the sequence of modules within the chains. Each module contains at least 6 amino acids, with the amino acids in positions 1 and 5 providing the preferred affinity for the specific base, and the amino acid at position 2 serving as a stacking unit between concatenated modules. The modules may have four canonic forms, each having a preferred affinity for a different base and characterized by the base with which it has affinity, the two amino acids that provide the affinity, and the amino acid that serves as a stacking unit. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to a system and method for measuring blood volume using non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. The method of the present invention includes a subtraction-based method using a pair of acquisitions immediately following velocity-sensitized pulse trains for the label module and its corresponding control module, respectively. The signal of static tissue is canceled out and the difference signal comes from the flowing blood compartment above a cutoff velocity. After normalizing to a proton density-weighted image acquired separately and scaled with the blood T1 and T2 relaxation factors, quantitative measurement of blood volume is then obtained. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for generating one or more denoised images from a series of noisy images acquired with a medical imaging system are described. In general, the systems and methods described here implement techniques whereby the series of noisy images are formed into a spatial-temporal or spatial-spectral image matrix in which each column represents a different noisy image. The image matrix is then processed to decompose the image matrix into basis images defined by a spatial and a temporal or spectral basis. Low rank solutions are enforced and extracted from the resulting decomposed image matrix as denoised images. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrospray device for generating electrospray from a ferrofluid. The electrospray device includes an emitter, an extraction electrode, and a magnet. The emitter is configured to receive a ferrofluidic liquid. The extraction electrode includes an aperture and is positioned a first distance from the emitter. The magnet generates a magnetic field in a first direction toward the emitter. The magnetic field causes Rosensweig instability in the ferrofluidic liquid, and generates a ferrofluidic peak in the ferrofluidic liquid. The magnet is positioned a second distance from the emitter, and the emitter is positioned between the extraction electrode and the magnet. The ferrofluidic liquid is biased at a first electrical potential and the extraction electrode is biased at a second electrical potential. A difference between the first electrical potential and the second electrical potential is sufficient to generate an electric field at the ferrofluidic peak that generates electrospray from the ferrofluidic peak. |

| ABSTRACT | The pressure-detecting system utilizes a nanocomposite sensor with quantum dots embedded in a matrix. Under pressure, both the quantum dots and the matrix fluoresce when illuminated by a laser. A spectroscope detects the intensity of each fluorescence and sends the information to a data processor. The data processor calculates a ratio using the intensities. Comparing this ratio to ratios stored in a data object in a database provides a value for the pressure detected by the sensor. The data object contains multiple ratios, each correlated to a specific pressure during a calibration process for the sensor. This calibration process subjected the sensor to known pressures, with the resultant ratios calculated and stored in the data object, correlated to the appropriate pressures. |

| ABSTRACT | An optical sensing platform with an array of sensors, a laser or broadband light source and an optical detector that utilizes surface plasmon resonance based transduction and optical detection is provided. The sensor structure of the platform has a low index support layer, a high contrast grating, a low index spacer and a thin metal film with a target recognition element. The surface plasmon resonance based sensor uses surface plasmon waves to detect changes on the surface of the sensor when a target interacts with the target recognition element. The binding of the target with a recognition element receptor will induce changes in the refractive index of the metal layer, which changes the resonance wavelength of the plasmon wave on the sensor surface, which is used to measure or observe the reaction. |

| ABSTRACT | A method, system, and computer program product derive data schema for application to a data set. One or more processors generate a directed acyclic weighted graph that encodes data types and semantic types used by a data set. One or more processors assign estimated frequencies for each component of the directed acyclic weighted graph, where the estimated frequencies predict a likelihood of a particular data schema element being used by any data set. One or more processors traverse through paths in the directed acyclic weighted graph with a predetermined portion of the data set to determine a data schema that correctly defines data from the data set and identifies any errors in the data set, and then apply the data schema to the data set to generate clean data that is properly formatted. |

| ABSTRACT | An automated outlier detection system implements an unsupervised set of processes to determine feature subspaces from a dataset; determine candidate exploratory actions, where each candidate exploratory action is a specific combination of a feature subspace and a parameterized instance of an outlier detection algorithm; and identify a set of optimal exploratory actions to recommend for execution on the dataset from among the candidate exploratory actions. Outlier scores obtained as a result of execution of the set of optimal exploratory actions are processed to obtain one or more outlier views such that each outlier view represents a consistent characterization of outliers by each optimal exploratory action corresponding to that outlier view. |

| ABSTRACT | A transient electronic device includes electronic elements (e.g., an SOI- or chip-based IC) and a trigger mechanism disposed on a frangible glass substrate. The trigger mechanism includes a switch that initiates a large trigger current through a self-limiting resistive element in response to a received trigger signal. The self-limiting resistive element includes a resistor portion that generates heat in response to the trigger current, thereby rapidly increasing the temperature of a localized (small) region of the frangible glass substrate, and a current limiting portion (e.g., a fuse) that self-limits (terminates) the trigger current after a predetermined amount of time, causing the localized region to rapidly cool down. The frangible glass substrate is engineered such that a stress profile produced by the rapid heating/cooling of the localized region generates an initial fracture force that subsequently propagates throughout the glass substrate, whereby sufficient potential energy is released to powderize the electronic elements. |

| ABSTRACT | A subtractive forming method that includes providing a material stack including a samarium and selenium containing layer and an aluminum containing layer in direct contact with the samarium and selenium containing layer. The samarium component of the samarium and selenium containing layer of the exposed portion of the material stack is etched with an etch chemistry comprising citric acid and hydrogen peroxide that is selective to the aluminum containing layer. The hydrogen peroxide reacts with the aluminum containing layer to provide an oxide etch protectant surface on the aluminum containing layer, and the citric acid etches samarium selectively to the oxide etch protectant surface. Thereafter, a remaining selenium component of is removed by elevating a temperature of the selenium component. |

| ABSTRACT | A superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID) comprises a superconducting inductive loop with at least two Josephson junction, whereby a magnetic flux coupled into the inductive loop produces a modulated response up through radio frequencies. Series and parallel arrays of SQUIDs can increase the dynamic range, output, and linearity, while maintaining bandwidth. Several approaches to achieving a linear triangle-wave transfer function are presented, including harmonic superposition of SQUID cells, differential serial arrays with magnetic frustration, and a novel bi-SQUID cell comprised of a nonlinear Josephson inductance shunting the linear coupling inductance. Total harmonic distortion of less than −120 dB can be achieved in optimum cases. |

| ABSTRACT | A network security policy may be implemented at network switches as a set of active packet disposition directives. In a dynamically programmable network, the network switches can be dynamically reprogrammed with new packet disposition directives. A security mediation service permits such dynamic reprogramming as long as the new directives are consistent with the then-current network security policy. The security mediation service evaluates candidate packet disposition directives for conflicts with the currently active security policy, before instantiating the candidate packet disposition directives at the network switches. |

| ABSTRACT | A hydrocyclone for separating a vapor from a carrier gas is disclosed. The hydrocyclone comprises one or more nozzles. A cryogenic liquid is injected to a tangential feed inlet at a velocity that induces a tangential flow and a cyclone vortex in the hydrocyclone. The carrier gas is injected into the cryogenic liquid, causing the vapor to dissolve, condense, desublimate, or a combination thereof, forming a vapor-depleted carrier gas and a vapor-enriched cryogenic liquid. The vapor-depleted carrier gas is drawn through a vortex finder and the vapor-enriched cryogenic liquid is drawn through an apex nozzle outlet. In this manner, the vapor is removed from the carrier gas. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for producing hydrogen from methane or other fuels that has lower input heat requirements than conventional steam reformation schemes are provided. The system has a reactor with a controlled feed of fuel, water/steam, CO and recycle gases. The methods generally use significantly high amounts of steam (water) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the feed that substantially enhances the reaction rate of the water-gas shift reaction, which transforms CO and H2O to CO2 and H2. Since this reaction is exothermic, its enhancement alters the endothermic nature of the overall reforming process to the point where the overall reforming process is no longer endothermic. The CO requirements may be met in part with the reverse water-gas shift reaction from CO2 produced by the reactor. The lower heat requirements may be satisfied with renewable sources such as solar or from hydrogen produced by the system. |

| ABSTRACT | A gating mechanism that uses a capillary stabilized liquid as a reversible, reconfigurable gate that fills and seals pores in the closed state, and creates a non-fouling, liquid-lined pore in the open state is disclosed. Theoretical modeling and experiments demonstrate that for each transport substance, the gating threshold—the pressure needed to open the pores—can be rationally tuned over a wide pressure range. This enables realizing in one system differential response profiles for a variety of liquids and gases, even letting liquids flow through the pore while preventing gas from escaping. These capabilities allow dynamic modulation of gas-liquid sorting and to separate multi-phase mixtures, with the liquid lining ensuring sustained antifouling behavior. Because the liquid gating strategy enables efficient short-term and long-term operation and can be applied to a variety of pore structures and membrane materials, and to nano, micro as well as macroscale fluid systems, the gating systems is useful in a wide range of applications. |

| ABSTRACT | A shaped charge produces an explosive jet utilizing a cylindrical liner surrounded by tracks of explosives. The tracks of explosives are located on the curved surface of the cylindrical liner in a spiral. The tracks of explosives are wrapped around the cylindrical liner in a spiral at an angle to the charge axis. The angle is determined as an angle that assures that the flow speed of the collapsing cylindrical liner is subsonic compared to the sound speed in the material of the collapsing cylindrical liner. The angle also can be selected and varied to directly control the speed of a non-stretching jet, as well as a velocity gradient to produce a stretching jet. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for estimating conductivity of clay mineral systems, and for applying the estimates in larger-scale analysis. Conductivity of the clay may be estimated by constructing a molecular model of an anhydrous charge-neutral clay, and then assigning a charge density by substitution of ions in the model of the clay structure. Counterions are inserted for charge neutrality, and water molecules are added to the model to reflect a selected level of hydration. Following assignment of force-field coefficients, molecular dynamics simulation provides data from which diffusion coefficients can be estimated. Application of the Nernst-Einstein relationship to the diffusion coefficients of the counterions provides the ion conductivity of the clay system. This conductivity can be used to derive a formation factor, and can be applied in direct numerical simulation analysis. |

| ABSTRACT | A system detects and/or predicts metal ion plating events of a metal ion energy storage device. The system includes an optical sensor disposed internally within or externally on a metal ion energy storage device wherein the optical sensor has an optical output that changes in response to strain within a metal ion energy storage device. A current sensor senses current through the metal ion energy storage device. Plating detection circuitry measures a wavelength shift in the optical output of the optical sensor and estimates a state of charge (SOC) of the metal ion energy storage device based on the current. An expected wavelength shift is determined from the estimated SOC. A plating event can be detected and/or predicted based on the difference between the expected wavelength shift and the measured wavelength shift. |

| ABSTRACT | Various technologies for mitigating interference in stretch-processed SAR imagery are described herein. Stretch-processed SAR data is received at a computing device. The stretch-processed (or deramped) SAR data is then reramped, thereby removing frequency-variant components of narrowband interference signals in the deramped data. A frequency-domain transform is executed over the reramped data to generate a spectral characteristic of the reramped data. A spectral notch filter is applied to frequency bands corresponding to the peaks of the spectral characteristic in order to filter out the narrowband interference signals. An inverse frequency-domain transform can then be executed over the filtered spectral characteristic to return to a phase-history representation of the SAR data. The phase history resulting from the inverse frequency-domain transform is a ramped phase history, which can then be deramped prior to use in connection with generating images of the scanned scene. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is a method and an apparatus that can image objects immersed in optically opaque fluids using ultrasound in a confined space and in a harsh environment. If the fluid is not highly attenuating at frequencies above 1 MHz, where commercial ultrasound scanners are available, such scanners can be adapted for imaging in these fluids. In the case of highly attenuating fluids, such as drilling mud, then a low frequency collimated sound source is used. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are waterfall counters and an application to architectural vulnerability factor (AVF) estimation. Waterfall counters count events that are generated at event generation logic. The waterfall counters are a combination of small, fast counters local to the event generation logic, and larger, global counters in fast memory. The local counters can be saturation or oscillation counters. When a local counter is saturated or evicted, the value from the local counter is added to the global counter. This addition can be done using logic local to the local or global counter. The waterfall counters provide a full-accuracy event count without the high bandwidth that is needed to maintain the global counters. An AVF estimation can be determined based on ratios from counts of read events, write events, and total events using the waterfall counters. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrical transformer system using helical electrodes applied to a plasma. Systems and methods transform DC voltages and currents to different DC voltages and currents. Instead of using wires and iron cores similar to known transformers, the present DC to DC transformer system exploits plasma, helical electrodes, an axial magnetic field and radial magnetic field coils, with a control system to specify a radial magnetic field at the edge of a specified magnitude. A DC input voltage is applied, and an output is taken from electrodes at opposite the ends of the central apparatus. The system and apparatus contains a radial magnetic field embedded in the helical electrodes; the secondary current is taken from either solid or split (slotted) electrodes. Methods are disclosed for changing the output voltage and current relative to the input values. The system can function as either a stepup or a stepdown transformer. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for producing hydrogen from methane or other fuels that has lower input heat requirements than conventional steam reformation schemes are provided. The system has a reactor with a controlled feed of fuel, water/steam, CO and recycle gases. The methods generally use significantly high amounts of steam (water) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the feed that substantially enhances the reaction rate of the water-gas shift reaction, which transforms CO and H2O to CO2 and H2. Since this reaction is exothermic, its enhancement alters the endothermic nature of the overall reforming process to the point where the overall reforming process is no longer endothermic. The CO requirements may be met in part with the reverse water-gas shift reaction from CO2 produced by the reactor. The lower heat requirements may be satisfied with renewable sources such as solar or from hydrogen produced by the system. |

| ABSTRACT | A linear element with two stable points, it can be used as trust element allows for change in length. It can transform structure from one shape to another thus allowing for morphable configuration. A new model is presented herein for a linear bi-stable compliant mechanism and design guidelines for its use. The mechanism is based on the crank-slider mechanism. This model takes into account the first mode of buckling and post-buckling behavior of a compliant segment to describe the mechanism's bi-stable behavior. The kinetic and kinematic equations, derived from the Pseudo-Rigid-Body Model, were solved numerically and are represented in plots. This representation allows the generation of step-by-step design guidelines. Because different applications may have different input requirements, two different design approaches are described herein with different parameters subsets as inputs. |

| ABSTRACT | An imaging system images near-field objects with focused microwave or terahertz radiation. Multiple antennas emit microwave or terahertz radiation, such that the radiation varies in frequency over time, illuminates a near-field object, reflects from the near-field object, and travels to a passive aperture. For example, the passive aperture may comprise a dielectric lens or a parabolic reflector. The passive aperture focuses, onto a spatial region, the microwave or terahertz radiation that reflected from the near-field object. One or more antennas take measurements, in the spatial region, of the microwave or terahertz radiation that reflected from the near-field object. A computer calculates, based on the measurements, an image of the near-field object and depth information regarding the near-field object. |

| ABSTRACT | A broad and extensive new category of targets for ribonucleic acids (RNAs) with interference activity (iRNAs), exclusive of the traditional messenger RNA (mRNA) targets have been discovered. iRNAs can be used to manipulate biological processes that do not explicitly involve mRNA and can be directed at non-coding RNAs, such as ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and transfer RNAs (tRNAs). iRNA sequences targeted at ribosomal rRNAs and tRNAs have been designed and tested. iRNA that targets a non-coding RNA is called non-coding interfering RNA (nciRNA). nciRNAs cause degradation of non-coding RNAs in vivo, and are highly active in biological assays. nciRNAs can be used as programmed toxins for specific targeting of eukaryotic pathogens and for protection of plants and structures from insects and weeds. |

| ABSTRACT | Mirrors, lenses, devices, apparatus, systems and methods for correcting temporal dispersion of laser pulses or other pulses of electromagnetic radiation in diffractive telescopes used in applications, such as but not limited to optical telescopes, transmitters, receivers, and transceivers for laser communication and imaging. Diffractive lenses and mirrors allow for producing large area telescopes and reducing or eliminating temporal dispersion of laser pulses and other pulses of electromagnetic radiation recorded by such telescopes. This can be achieved by utilizing high efficiency thin film diffractive optical films, particularly, diffractive waveplates, and having a secondary diffractive mirror of a shape selected to assure that the propagation time from the flat primary collecting lens or mirror is independent of the position on the flat primary collecting lens or mirror at which the radiation impinges. |

| ABSTRACT | In an embodiment of the invention there is a cyclotronic actuator. The actuator is defined by having a high-voltage plasma driver connected to a first electrode. The first electrode is surrounded by a dielectric material. A second electrode is grounded and placed away from the first electrode, such that a plasma arc is formed between the pair of electrodes when the high-voltage plasma driver is activated. A ring magnet surrounding the second electrode is configured to introduce a magnetic field locally to the plasma arc. The plasma arc will then discharge in a radial direction. The magnet creates a local magnetic field oriented vertically in a direction parallel to the axisymmetric orientation of the first and second electrodes to create a Lorentz Force. The force causes the plasma arc to move in a tangential direction and causes the plasma arc to discharge out in a circular pattern. |

| ABSTRACT | A method, system, and computer program product derive data schema for application to a data set. One or more processors generate a directed acyclic weighted graph that encodes data types and semantic types used by a data set. One or more processors assign estimated frequencies for each component of the directed acyclic weighted graph, where the estimated frequencies predict a likelihood of a particular data schema element being used by any data set. One or more processors traverse through paths in the directed acyclic weighted graph with a predetermined portion of the data set to determine a data schema that correctly defines data from the data set and identifies any errors in the data set, and then apply the data schema to the data set to generate clean data that is properly formatted. |

| ABSTRACT | An automated outlier detection system implements an unsupervised set of processes to determine feature subspaces from a dataset; determine candidate exploratory actions, where each candidate exploratory action is a specific combination of a feature subspace and a parameterized instance of an outlier detection algorithm; and identify a set of optimal exploratory actions to recommend for execution on the dataset from among the candidate exploratory actions. Outlier scores obtained as a result of execution of the set of optimal exploratory actions are processed to obtain one or more outlier views such that each outlier view represents a consistent characterization of outliers by each optimal exploratory action corresponding to that outlier view. |

| ABSTRACT | A subtractive forming method that includes providing a material stack including a samarium and selenium containing layer and an aluminum containing layer in direct contact with the samarium and selenium containing layer. The samarium component of the samarium and selenium containing layer of the exposed portion of the material stack is etched with an etch chemistry comprising citric acid and hydrogen peroxide that is selective to the aluminum containing layer. The hydrogen peroxide reacts with the aluminum containing layer to provide an oxide etch protectant surface on the aluminum containing layer, and the citric acid etches samarium selectively to the oxide etch protectant surface. Thereafter, a remaining selenium component of is removed by elevating a temperature of the selenium component. |

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, June 25, 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:
