| ABSTRACT | A binder, and related processes, has been developed for biological agent defeat formulations. This highly iodinated binder is based on the polymer polyethylene tetraiodoterephthalamide. The materials have been formulated with metal fuel particles, such as aluminum, and various oxidizers, such as metal oxides. The binder-thermite composites may be actuated to initiate oxidation, therein generating heat. Upon thermal decomposition of these materials, iodine, a biocide, is released allowing for sterilization of biological agents. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for detecting dehydration, hemorrhaging, and increases in blood volume comprising monitors the time difference between the arrival of the primary left ventricular ejection pulse (pulse T1) and the arrival of the iliac reflection (pulse T3) to determine an arterial pulse parameter which is the time difference between T1 T3. Changes in T3 minus T1 are indicative of something happening to blood volume. If the T1-3 value goes up and the patient is on an infusion system, it can be an indication of having too much fluid pumped and if T1-3 is lower than it should be for an individual, they are either dehydrated (which can result in decreases in blood volume), they are hemorrhaging, or they have hemorrhaged. A downtrend in T13 can tell whether someone is continuing to hemorrhage. |

| ABSTRACT | A capture-tool for manipulation of tissue utilizes vacuum to hold the tissue in place. An extension attached to a vacuum source at one end and a vacuum arm at another end creates a vacuum force through the extension and vacuum arm. The vacuum arm has a support surface with ports therein at which low pressure areas are formed by the vacuum force. The low pressure areas draw tissue against the supporting surface to hold it in place, as long as the vacuum force is active. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods of forming shaped structures on a surface are provided. The methods utilize 3D stencils in conjunction with depositing material(s) on a surface. The surface can be non-planar. In some exemplary embodiments, a method of forming a shaped structure on a surface includes placing a 3D stencil onto a non-planar surface such that a non-planar facing side of the stencil conformally covers the non-planar surface, and depositing a material onto the non-planar surface over which the 3D stencil is placed. The deposited material becomes the shaped structure that has at least a layer facing the non-planar surface that conforms to such surface. At least the non-planar facing side of the stencil maintains the shape that is congruent with the non-planar surface when no force is applied to both the non-planar facing side and an opposed opposing side of the stencil. Stencils, stencil masks, kits, and other methods are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | Volatilization reagents are disclosed for improved detection of inorganic oxidizers such as chlorates and perchlorates by mass spectrometry. Thermal desorption methods are also disclosed in which the reagent transfers a proton to the anion (i.e., chlorate, perchlorate, etc.) of an inorganic salt analyte, forming an acid (i.e., chloric acid, perchloric acid) that is more easily vaporized and, hence, more easily detected. The reagents can include acidic salts or cation-donators, more generally. The class of reagents including polymeric acids, polymeric organic acids and polymeric sulfonic acids. Hydrated reagents or other reagents that can release water can also be employed as co-reagents. Further, these reagents can be embedded in a swipe or other substrate, delivered as a liquid infused via nebulizer, or otherwise introduced to a sample to be tested. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for calibrating multiple nanostructures in parallel for quantitative biosensing using a chip for localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensing and imaging. The chip is a glass coverslip compatible for use in a standard microscope with at least one array of functionalized plasmonic nanostructures patterned onto it using electron beam nanolithography. The chip is used to collect CCD-based LSPR imagery data of each individual nanostructure and LSPR spectral data of the array. The spectral data is used to determine the fractional occupancy of the array. The imagery data is modeled as a function of fractional occupancy to determine the fractional occupancy of each individual nanostructure. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of electrical system fault detection and location determination includes measuring a baseline time domain reflectometry (TDR) waveform along a wire path of the electrical system and obtaining an operating TDR waveform along the wire path. The operating TDR waveform is compared to the baseline TDR waveform to derive a difference TDR waveform, and a difference energy is calculated utilizing the difference TDR waveform. The difference energy is monitored over time for peaks in the difference energy and potential electrical system faults are identified via the peaks in the difference energy. |

| ABSTRACT | The current invention generally relates to analysis of software and more specifically to techniques for identifying integrated code elements, e.g., those that pose harm to the software under analysis. The invention enables the automatic detection of degenerate software forms, e.g., those that violate SOLID principles. The invention also enables the automatic detection of code elements related to state. The invention provides a hybrid approach to software analysis using a pseudo-compilation process to enable control- and data-flow analysis using heuristic analysis algorithms to detect degenerate software forms at the higher semantic level usually inaccessible to static analysis tools. |

| ABSTRACT | For decades, advances in electronics were directly related to the scaling of CMOS transistors according to Moore's law. However, both the CMOS scaling and the classical computer architecture are approaching fundamental and practical limits. A novel memory-centric, reconfigurable, general purpose computing platform is proposed to handle the explosive amount of data in a fast and energy-efficient manner. The proposed computing architecture is based on a single physical resistive memory-centric fabric that can be optimally reconfigured and utilized to perform different computing and data storage tasks in a massively parallel approach. The system can be tailored to achieve maximal energy efficiency based on the data flow by dynamically allocating the basic computing fabric to storage, arithmetic, and analog computing including neuromorphic computing tasks. |

| ABSTRACT | Solution of a problem of determining values of a set of N problem variables x, makes use of a quantum processor that has a limited number of hardware elements for representing quantum bits and/or limitations on coupling between quantum bits. A method includes accepting a specification of the problem that includes a specification of a set of terms where each term corresponds to a product of at least three variables and is associated with a non-zero coefficient. A set of ancilla variables, each ancilla variable corresponding to a pair of problem variables, is determined by applying an optimization procedure to the specification of the set of the terms. The accepted problem specification is then transformed according to the determined ancilla variables to form a modified problem specification for use in configuring the quantum processor and solution of problem. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of enhancing an image includes constructing an input histogram corresponding to an input image received at a focal plane array, the input histogram representing a pixel intensity distribution corresponding to the input image and performing an analytical operation on the input histogram to produce a modified cumulative distribution, wherein the analytical operation is a function of camera temperature. The input image is transformed using the modified cumulative distribution to produce an enhanced output image corresponding to the input image, wherein at least a portion of the input image is enhanced in the output image. In addition to or in lieu of the non-linear operation, the binning edges of the input histogram can be adjusted based on at least one of camera temperature and sensitivity state to construct an adjusted cumulative distribution. |

| ABSTRACT | A flight path planning approach may be deterministic and guarantee a safe, quasi-optimal path. A plurality of three-dimensional voxels may be determined as cells of a rectangular grid. The cells may have a predetermined length and width. A shortest safe path through the grid graph may be calculated from a local start to a local goal defined as points on a nominal global path. Geometric smoothing may be performed on the basis line from the local start to the local goal to generate a smooth three-dimensional trajectory that can be followed by a given rotorcraft. Dynamic smoothing may be performed on the three-dimensional trajectory to provide a maximum possible speed profile over a path defined by the dynamic smoothing. The three dimensional path information may be provided to an autopilot, which may then control the rotorcraft to fly along the defined path. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments relate to setting up direct mapped routers located across independently managed compute and storage networks for enabling multiple modes of communication over the cross-coupled links between the networks. An aspect includes identifying a characteristic of a local entity based on a unique location identifier assigned to the local entity and learning a characteristic of a remote entity based on a location identifier received over a cross-coupled link between the local entity and the remote entity. A port on a local entity router is then correlated with the received location identifier of the remote entity. A route is then built in the direct mapped router table at a location pointed to by the location identifier of the remote entity. An optimistic failover route is established from a storage entity to a compute entity when a cross-coupled link between the storage entity and the compute entity is broken. |

| ABSTRACT | A turbulence-free CCD camera system with nonclassical imaging resolution, for applications in long-distance imaging, such as satellite and aircraft-to-ground based distant imaging, utilizing an intensity-fluctuation correlation measurement of thermal light. The proposed camera system has the following advantages over classic imaging technology: (1) it is turbulence-free; (2) its spatial resolution is mainly determined by the angular diameter of the light source. For example, using sun as the light source, this camera may achieve a spatial resolution of 200 micrometer for any object on Earth. 200-micrometer resolution is insignificant for short distance imaging, however, taking a picture of a target at 10-kilometer, a classic camera must have a lens of 90-meter diameter in order to achieve 200-micrometer resolution. Unlike a classic camera, the proposed turbulence-free CCD camera system has adequate spatial resolution zoom a long distance and still distinguish the objects within a small area, even with a small lens. |

| ABSTRACT | Pericytes are mural cells of brain capillaries that degenerate in multiple neurological disorders. Pericytes regulate neurovascular functions, but their role in the adult brain and disease is still poorly understood because of the lack of adequate pericyte-specific experimental models. All current pericyte-deficient models are not pericyte specific, and carry an inherited embryonic trait. Here, the Inventors generated an inducible pericyte-specific Cre line using a double-promoter strategy. The Inventors ablated adult mouse pericytes expressing Cre-dependent diphtheria toxin receptor after toxin administration. Pericyte ablation led to a rapid dysregulation of cerebral blood flow and blood-brain barrier breakdown. This was followed by behavioral deficits and neurodegenerative changes. These findings show that circulatory deficits leading to secondary neurodegeneration develop immediately after pericyte loss. |

| ABSTRACT | An exoskeleton includes first and second support structures configured to be coupled to a wearer of the exoskeleton. A joint connects the first and second support structures, the joint enabling relative movement between the first and second structures. First and second cord loops connect the first and second support structures. At least one motor twists and thereby shortens the first and second cord loops, wherein shortening of the first cord loop causes relative movement of the first and second support structures about the joint in a first direction, and shortening of the second cord loop causes relative movement of the first and second support structures about the joint in a second, opposite direction. A brake mechanism prevents relative movement of the first and second support structures about the joint in at least one of the first and second directions if one of the first and second cord loops breaks. |

| ABSTRACT | Permanent hearing loss or deafness affects about 15% of people worldwide, about 40 million in the US alone. There are currently no FDA-approved drugs on the market in the US, or anywhere in the world that prevent, treat or reverse permanent hearing loss or deafness. Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is one of the most common forms of permanent hearing loss and deafness. ARHL is the #1 neurodegenerative disorder, #1 communication disorder, and 1 of the top 3 chronic medical conditions (along with arthritis & cardiovascular diseases) of our aged population. The incidence of ARHL is increasing due to the “Baby Boomers” reaching old age, and cumulative effects of lifetime noise exposure, and widespread use of chemotherapeutic and antibiotic drugs, which are ototoxic, or have ototoxic side effects. A new drug is disclosed to prevent or slow the progression of ARHL, based upon natural, existing FDA-approved compounds that are on the market to treat other non-ARHL biomedical problems. When given in the proper dosage the compounds have few, if any side effects, and initial evidence supports the effectiveness of the drug from in vitro experiments, and in vivo studies of aging mice, indicating is usefulness in preventing/treating one of the most pervasive forms of permanent hearing loss. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method are provided for harvesting target biological substances. The system includes a substrate and a first and second channel formed in the substrate. The channels longitudinally extending substantially parallel to each other. A series of gaps extend from the first channel to the second channel to create a fluid communication path passing between a series of columns with the columns being longitudinally separated by a predetermined separation distance. The system also includes a first source configured to selectively introduce into the first channel a first biological composition at a first channel flow rate and a second source configured to selectively introduce into the second channel a second biological composition at a second channel flow rate. The sources are configured to create a differential between the first and second channel flow rates to generate physiological shear rates along the second channel that are bounded within a predetermined range. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to methods and compositions for determining whether a subject having prostate cancer is at greater risk of developing progressive disease, and methods of treating the subjects. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that approximately 90% of men carrying at least one of the following fusion genes: TRMT11-GRIK2, SLC45A2-AMACR, MTOR-TP53BP1, LRRC59-FLJ60017, TMEM135-CCDC67 and CCNH-C5orf30 experienced prostate cancer recurrence, metastases and/or prostate cancer-specific death after radical prostatectomy (each examples of “progressive prostate cancer”), while these outcomes occurred in only 36% of men not carrying any of these fusion genes. It is also based, at least in part, on the discovery that no patient studied survived five years without recurrence if their primary prostate cancer contained a TRMT11-GRIK2 or MTOR-TP53BP1 fusion gene. It is also based, at least in part, on the discovery that the protein encoded by the MAN2A1-FER fusion gene exhibits kinase activity. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for controlling a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to simultaneously excite multiple different slice locations. A multiband (MB) radio frequency (RF) pulse waveform is combined with an RF pulse waveform that results in periodic excitation of the slice locations, such as a power independent of a number of slices (PINS) RF pulse waveform. Before combination, the MB RF pulse waveform is preferably transformed to traverse the excitation k-space trajectory defined by a plurality of slice-encoding gradient blips. The combined RF pulse waveform is used to generate an RF excitation field generated while the plurality of slice-encoding gradient blips are played out. The portions of the combined RF pulse associated with the MB RF pulse are played out during the gradient blips, and the portions associated with the PINS RF pulse are played out between the gradient blips. |

| ABSTRACT | Example embodiments associated with characterizing a sample using NMR fingerprinting are described. One example NMR apparatus includes an NMR logic that repetitively and variably samples a (k, t, E) space associated with an object to acquire a set of NMR signals that are associated with different points in the (k, t, E) space. The NMR signals are produced in response to a FISP-MRF pulse sequence. Sampling is performed with t and/or E varying in a non-constant way. The NMR apparatus may also include a signal logic that produces an NMR signal evolution from the NMR signals and a characterization logic that characterizes a tissue in the object as a result of comparing acquired signals to reference signals. Acquired signals are corrected using data describing an inhomogeneous B1 field produced by the NMR apparatus while the set of NMR signals are acquired. |

| ABSTRACT | A battery for use in electronic devices and which is safely ingested into a body and a related method of making the battery. The battery includes an anode, a cathode and a quantum tunneling composite coating. The quantum tunneling composite coating covers at least a portion of at least one of the anode or the cathode and provides pressure sensitive conductive properties to the battery including a compressive stress threshold for conduction. The compressive stress threshold may be greater than a pre-determined applied stress in a digestive tract of the body in order to prevent harm if the battery is ingested. The battery may include a waterproof seal that extends between the quantum tunneling composite coating and a gasket separating the anode and cathode to inhibit the battery from short circuiting in a conductive fluid below the compressive stress threshold. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides optimal control of a three-degree-of-freedom wave energy converter using a pseudo-spectral control method. The three modes are the heave, pitch and surge. A dynamic model is characterized by a coupling between the pitch and surge modes, while the heave is decoupled. The heave, however, excites the pitch motion through nonlinear parametric excitation in the pitch mode. The invention can use a Fourier series as basis functions to approximate the states and the control. For the parametric excited case, a sequential quadratic programming approach can be implemented to numerically solve for the optimal control. The numerical results show that the harvested energy from three modes is greater than three times the harvested energy from the heave mode alone. Moreover, the harvested energy using a control that accounts for the parametric excitation is significantly higher than the energy harvested when neglecting this nonlinear parametric excitation term. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are various technologies pertaining to extracting one or more features from trajectory data recorded during motion of a body, and further, generating a n-dimensional feature vector based upon the one or more extracted features. The n-dimensional feature vector enables expedited analysis of the trajectory data from which the feature vector was generated. For example, rather than having to analyze a trajectory curve comprising a large number of time-position data points, the n-dimensional feature vector can be compared with one or more search parameters to facilitate clustering of the trajectory data associated with the n-dimensional feature vector with other trajectory data which also satisfies the search request. The trajectory data can be plotted on a screen in combination with the n-dimensional feature vector, and other pertinent information. The trajectory data, etc., can be displayed using heat maps or other graphical representation. |

| ABSTRACT | Battery impedance testing devices, circuits, systems, and related methods are disclosed. An impedance measurement device includes a current driver configured to generate an excitation current signal to be applied to a test battery responsive to a control signal, and a processor operably coupled with the current driver. The processor is configured to generate the control signal during an auto-ranging mode and a measuring mode. The auto-ranging mode applies the excitation current signal to the test battery over a plurality of different amplitudes to measure a response to the excitation current signal at each amplitude. The measuring mode applies the excitation current signal to the test battery for an amplitude responsive to the results of the auto-ranging mode. Improved sensitivity and resolution may be achieved for low impedance batteries with a rapid measurement time. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are various technologies relating to generating a reduced bias multi-resolution (RBMR) coherent change detection (CCD) image product. A low bias, low resolution (LBLR) CCD image product is generated based upon a first SAR image of a scene and a second SAR image of the scene, where each pixel in the LBLR CCD image has a respective value that is computed using a large box-filter. The LBLR CCD image is segmented into a plurality of segments, and a box-filter size is determined for each segment based upon values of pixels in the segment. A RBMR CCD image product is then computed using box-filters of the determined sizes. |

| ABSTRACT | The system captures and concentrates sunlight for transmission to interior spaces or to a PV system. A solar collector uses arrayed refractive lenses, opposing concave focusing mirrors, and a movable coupling sheet forming part of a lightguide. The lenses and mirrors have an asymmetric shape, such as having aspect ratios of 3:4 or 1:2, so as to have an asymmetric aperture to better receive light at the different ranges of angles of the sun's rays over the course of a year. The long axis of the apertures is generally oriented in an East-West. The movable sheet contains small angled mirrors, and the sheet is translated to position the angled mirrors at the focal points of the sunlight for maximum deflection of the sunlight to an output of the collection system. A position sensor provides feedback regarding the position of the angled mirrors relative to the focal points. |

| ABSTRACT | A high-speed video system is disclosed that includes a moving image absorbing disk at an image plane. The disk has a pattern that passes and blocks image data. The disk is located between an event and an image sensor, or reflects an image to the image sensor. The disk is rotated at a speed that matches the desired reconstructed image frame rate. The image sensor frame data is processed using image reconstruction techniques, such as the D-AMP or TWIST algorithm, to recover a time sequence of reconstructed images. Additional images can be reconstructed for each image sensor frame if some spatial resolution is sacrificed. For continuous video, the disk speed is adjusted to the sensor frame rate. For burst mode, a single sensor image is acquired and a short image sequence is reconstructed. This image capture system works with a variety of radiations, including infrared, light, UV and X-rays. |

| ABSTRACT | An occlusion clearing device and system for removing material from an artificial tube in situ includes a clearing stem having aspiration and irrigation conduits, where the irrigation conduit is disposed interior to, and terminates within the aspiration conduit. Material enters the clearing stem through aspiration, and irrigation is provided within the aspiration conduit to assist in aspiration through the clearing stem. A handset includes aspiration and irrigation tubing connecting to sources therefor, and further includes valves to control the flow through the tubing and conduits. These valves may be operated simultaneously with an actuator located on the handset, which may be done with one hand. A coupler at the operative end allows the clearing stem to gain access to the artificial tube for clearing while maintaining a closed system with a ventilator. Reciprocating motion may be generated and provided to the clearing stem to aid in occlusion removal. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure is directed to the creation and/or manipulation of microfluidic systems and methods that can be formed in pre-existing modular blocks. Microfluidic paths can be formed in one or more blocks, and when multiple blocks are used, the blocks can be used together to form a path across the blocks. The paths can be sealed to prevent fluid leakage. The modular blocks can be readily available blocks which can then be individually customized to achieve various microfluidic design goals. The paths can be formed in outer surfaces of the blocks and/or disposed through a volume of the blocks. The modular blocks can have a uniform design across various block types, making it easy to reconfigure systems and/or remove and replace blocks and other components of the system. Methods for constructing such systems, and using such systems, are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | A styrene based water soluble polymer containing pendant sulfonated calix[4]arene groups has been synthesized by using free radical polymerization combined with post-polymerization sulfonation chemistry. The monomer 25-(4-vinylbenzyl)-26, 27, 28-hydroxy-calix[4]arene was prepared in 3 steps: (1) reduction of 4-vinyl benzoic acid to the respective alcohol (2) formation of the bromide by the Appel reaction and (3) synthesis of the respective ether by Williamson O-alkylation reaction with calix[4]arene. Polymerization was accomplished by azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) initiated free radical polymerization technique. Electro-responsive properties of the sulfonated polymer were studied wherein a response to electrochemical stimulus is observed when guest molecules of methyl viologen are incorporated with polymerized 25-(4-vinylbenzyl)-26, 27, 28-hydroxy-calix[4]arene. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, devices, and methods for printing on surfaces of three-dimensional objects are provided. The systems, devices, and methods allow for images, and three-dimensional structures, to be printed onto a surface of a three-dimensional object. The surface of the three-dimensional object can have many different shapes, including an arbitrary or non-uniform shape having multiple curves. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes associating a pattern of polygons with a surface of a three-dimensional object and then scaling a pattern of polygons associated with an image to be printed onto the surface with the pattern of polygons associated with the surface.

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to a technique that uses an externally applied electric field to self-assemble monolayers of mixtures of particles into molecular-like hierarchical arrangements on fluid-liquid interfaces. The arrangements consist of composite particles which are arranged in a pattern. The structure of a composite particle depends on factors such as the relative sizes of the particles and their polarizabilities, and the electric field intensity. If the particles sizes differ by a factor of two or more, the composite particle has a larger particle at its core and several smaller particles form a ring around it. The number of particles in the ring and the spacing between the composite particles depend on their polarizabilities and the electric field intensity. Approximately same sized particles form chains in which positively and negatively polarized particles alternate, and when their polarizabilities are comparable they form tightly packed crystals. |

| ABSTRACT | Adaptive windowing of insufficient cyclic prefix (CP) for joint minimization of intersymbol interference (ISI) and adjacent channel interference (ACI) is provided. The proposed subcarrier specific windowing scheme improves the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) even when the cyclic prefix (CP) is insufficient. Average optimal window lengths depend only on the power density profiles (PDPs), and although instantaneous optimal window lengths depend on users' channel impulse responses (CIRs), fluctuation is little. Therefore, subcarrier specific windowing outperforms fixed windowing, even with outdated window lengths in the case of powerful interferers. |

| ABSTRACT | A processor performing functions of a video client may measure an occupancy of a video buffer, select a video chunk having a first video encoding bitrate based upon the occupancy, and provide a deadline for a delivery of the video chunk to a multipath transport layer module. The processor may further activate a deadline aware scheduler of the module when the occupancy exceeds a first threshold and when the deadline aware scheduler was previously disabled, and deactivate the deadline aware scheduler when the occupancy falls below a second threshold and when the deadline aware scheduler was previously enabled. The module may request packets of the video chunk from a video server and select at least one active interface for the video server to send each packet. The deadline aware scheduler may select whether a secondary network interface is to be an active interface or a non-active interface. |

| ABSTRACT | dsRNA generated from D. citri trehalase gene is effective in reducing fitness and/or survival of D. citri. Thus genetically altered plants expressing the dsRNA and plants to which dsRNA solutions are applied increase D. citri mortality and reduce D. citri infestation. With reduced D. citri population, the spread of microorganisms for which D. citri is a vector is reduced. Such microorganisms include, but are not limited to, C. Liberibacter species, including: CLas, CLam, and CLaf. Thus, applying of the D. citri trehalase dsRNA to a plant reduces disease and/or microorganism transmission by killing D. citri that feed on the treated plant. |

| ABSTRACT | A protein conferring resistance to Fusarium Head Blight disease (FHB) is described, along with the DNA sequence of the corresponding gene and mRNA copy (cDNA). The cDNA of Fhb1 gene can be used to produce genetically-modified plants having increased resistance to FHB, particularly in wheat, barley and other plants affected by the disease. The protein has antifungal properties and inhibits fungal growth, thereby providing a means for reducing DON toxin in grains. Conserved functional domains are identified in the protein. Genetically-modified plants having increased resistance FHB are also described, along with methods for producing such genetically-modified plants. |

| ABSTRACT | Aerogels, aerogel composites and methods of making the same are discussed. One example method can include the act of creating a Boehmite colloid and adding a hydrolyzed silicon precursor to form a sol. A reinforcement can be infused with the sol, gelled to form a gel, then dried to form an aerogel composite. Such a method can also include the acts of performing one or more solvent exchanges and subjecting the gel composite to supercritical drying. Additionally, such a method can include the act of heat treating the aerogel composite. The aerogel composite can be used in high temperature, flexible seals capable of withstanding temperatures, pressures, and compression levels associated with aerodynamic heating generated during flight and in aerospace applications. The aeorogel composite also can be used in thermal protection systems designed for fire protection for structures or in personnel fire protective equipment. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for learning, prediction, and recall of spatiotemporal patterns. An input spatiotemporal sequence is learned using a recurrent spiking neural network by first processing the input spatiotemporal sequence using the recurrent spiking neural network. The recurrent spiking neural network comprises neurons having excitatory synaptic connections and inhibitory synaptic connections. Balanced inhibitory connectivity exists between neurons having excitatory synaptic connections. The recurrent spiking neural network uses distinct forms of synaptic plasticity for excitatory synaptic connections and inhibitory synaptic connections, such that excitatory synaptic connections strengthen and inhibitory synaptic connections weaken. In another aspect, the system is able to recall the learned spatiotemporal sequence and predict a future spatiotemporal sequence through activation of the recurrent spiking neural network. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus for monitoring radio frequency (RF) signals is disclosed. The apparatus includes an RF splitter, a set of track-and-hold circuits, a set of analog-to-digital circuits (ADC) and a frequency tracking module. The RF splitter splits a set of incoming RF signals into multiple RF signal paths. Each of the track-and-hold circuits, which is clocked at a different frequency than others, samples the incoming RF signals from a respective one of the RF signal paths. Each of the ADCs receives the sampled data from a respective one of the track-and-hold circuits. Each of the ADCs is also clocked at same frequency as a corresponding one of the track-and-hold circuits. The frequency tracking module determines a frequency of the incoming RF signals. |

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, July 09, 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:
