| ABSTRACT | The present invention includes a tethered ankle-foot prosthesis emulator having two independently-actuated forefoot digits that are coordinated to provide plantarflexion and inversion-eversion torques, and an independently-actuated heel. An end-effector was designed which is worn by a subject, and which was integrated with off-board motor and control hardware, to facilitate high bandwidth torque control. The platform is suitable for haptic rendering of virtual devices in experiments with humans, which may reveal strategies for improving balance or allow controlled comparisons of conventional prosthesis features. A similar morphology is also effective for autonomous devices. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to magnetic contrast structures for magnetic resonance imaging, and methods of their use. The contrast structures include magnetic materials arranged as a pair of disk-shaped magnetic components with a space between a circular surface of each disk shape, or a tubular magnetic structure, a substantially cylindrical magnetic structure, a substantially spherical shell-formed magnetic structure, or a substantially ellipsoidal shell-formed structure, each defining a hollow region therein. The space and/or hollow region in the contrast structure creates a spatially extended region contained within a near-field region of the contrast structure over which an applied magnetic field results in a homogeneous field, such that nuclear magnetic moments of a second material when arranged within the spatially extended region precess at a characteristic Larmor frequency, whereby the contrast structure is adapted to emit a characteristic magnetic resonance signal of the magnetic material. |

| ABSTRACT | A microfluidic exosome profiling platform integrating exosome isolation and targeted proteomic analysis is disclosed. This platform is capable of quantitative exosomal biomarker profiling directly from plasma samples with markedly enhanced sensitivity and specificity. Identification of distinct subpopulation of patient-derived exosomes is demonstrated by probing surface proteins and multiparameter analyzes of intravesicular biomarkers in the selected subpopulation. The expression of IGF-1R and its phosphorylation level in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient plasma is assessed as a non-invasive alternative to the conventional biopsy and immunohistochemistry. Detection of ovarian cancer also is assessed. The microfluidic chip, which may be fabricated of a glass substrate and a layer of poly(dimethylsiloxane), includes a serpentine microchannel to mix a fluid and a microchamber for the collection and detection of exosomes. |

| ABSTRACT | STAT3 hyperphosphorylation, dimerization and DNA binding are required for its ability to contribute to malignant transformation. As such, STAT3 has been recognized as a promising target for cancer therapy. Although a number of inhibitors of STAT3-STAT3 dimerization have been reported, molecular ligands that prevent interactions between STAT3 and DNA are very rare. The γ-AApeptide-based one-bead-one-compound (OBOC) combinatorial library was used, and identified γ-AApeptides that can selectively inhibit STAT3/DNA interaction and suppress the expression levels of STAT3 target genes in intact cells. The results not only validate γ-AApeptides as novel inhibitors of STAT3 signaling pathway, but also demonstrate that in addition to the SH2 domain, the DNA binding domain of STAT3 is targetable for the development of new generation of anti-cancer therapeutics. This also validates the approach of OBOC combinatorial library for the identification of ligands targeting traditionally recognized “undruggable targets”. |

| ABSTRACT | Using 3D printing, a microwell is formed by providing a plurality of masks, each mask representing a cross-section of a layer of the concave structure. Progressive movement of a projection plane exposes a pre-polymer solution to polymerizing radiation modulated by the masks to define the layers of the microwell, where each layer is exposed for a non-equal exposure period as determined by a non-linear factor. In a preferred embodiment, a first portion of the masks are base layer masks, which are exposed for a longer period than subsequent exposure periods. Shapes of the microwells, which may include circular, square, annular, or other geometric shapes, and their depths, are selected to promote aggregation behavior in the target cells, which may include tumor cells and stem cells. |

| ABSTRACT | Efficient encoding of signals in an MRI image is achieved through a combination of parallel receiver coils, and nonlinear gradient encoding that varies dynamically in such a manner as to impose a unique phase/frequency time varying signal on each pixel in the field of view. Any redundancies are designed such that they are easily resolved by the receiver coil sensitivity profiles. Since each voxel has an essentially identifiable complex temporal signal, spatial localization is easily achieved with only a single echo acquisition. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques for segmentation include determining an edge of voxels in a range associated with a target object. A center voxel is determined. Target size is determined based on the center voxel. In some embodiments, edges near the center are suppressed, markers are determined based on the center, and an initial boundary is determined using a watershed transform. Some embodiments include determining multiple rays originating at the center in 3D, and determining adjacent rays for each. In some embodiments, a 2D field of amplitudes is determined on a first dimension for distance along a ray and a second dimension for successive rays in order. An initial boundary is determined based on a path of minimum cost to connect each ray. In some embodiments, active contouring is performed using a novel term to refine the initial boundary. In some embodiments, boundaries of part-solid target objects are refined using Markov models. |

| ABSTRACT | A five-index quantitative analysis of OCT angiograms is disclosed. One method of analyzing an anatomical region of interest of a subject includes acquiring vascular image data from the region of interest and generating a binary vasculature map from the vascular image data. A vessel skeleton map and vessel perimeter map are generated from the binary vasculature map. Based on the three generated maps, a vessel area density, vessel skeleton density, vessel perimeter index, vessel diameter index, and vessel complexity can be determined, in addition to detection of any flow impairment zones in the region of interest. These metrics can be used to detect and assess vascular abnormalities from multiple perspectives. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally relates to nanoscale wires and tissue engineering. Systems and methods are provided in various embodiments for preparing cell scaffolds that can be used for growing cells or tissues, where the cell scaffolds comprise nanoscale wires. In some cases, the nanoscale wires can be connected to electronic circuits extending externally of the cell scaffold. Such cell scaffolds can be used to grow cells or tissues which can be determined and/or controlled at very high resolutions, due to the presence of the nanoscale wires, and such cell scaffolds will find use in a wide variety of novel applications, including applications in tissue engineering, prosthetics, pacemakers, implants, or the like. This approach thus allows for the creation of fundamentally new types of functionalized cells and tissues, due to the high degree of electronic control offered by the nanoscale wires and electronic circuits. |

| ABSTRACT | The present application describes techniques to filter signals contaminated with blunt noise. Calculated filter coefficients may be applied to signals to generate filtered output signals without the blunt noise. Sets of filter coefficients may be calculated utilizing an ε-tube filter process in conjunction with an autoregressive exogenous (ARX) model. Sets of filter coefficients may be calculated in accordance with a constrained optimization algorithm using data indicative of a source of the blunt noise. When the blunt noise is modeled in accordance with the ARX model, filtered output signals are generated having amplitudes constrained to a selected Epsilon value, which may be the amplitude of a primary component of the unfiltered signal. A set of filter coefficients may be calculated by determining, from the set of filter coefficients that satisfy the constrained optimization algorithm, a solution that produces a filtered output signal having the most time-invariant frequency composition. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for position hold override control of an aircraft includes determining, by a processor, that a position hold mode is enabled to hold the aircraft at a substantially fixed position with respect to a target. The processor receives a control input indicative of a commanded change in acceleration of the aircraft as an override of the position hold mode. The processor determines an acceleration command based on the commanded change in acceleration. The acceleration command is adjusted as an adjusted acceleration command responsive to a non-linear scheduled translational rate command based on feedback of a commanded velocity of the aircraft. An update to the commanded velocity of the aircraft is generated based on the adjusted acceleration command. |

| ABSTRACT | An ER fluid valve includes a housing and a plurality of parallel flow passages through the housing each defined by spaced electrodes at least one of which is controllable independently of other flow passages electrodes. A controller is configured to selectively establish electrical fields for all of the independently controllable electrodes to close all of the flow passages to ER fluid flowing through the housing. By removing the fields from all of the independently controllable electrodes, all the flow passages are open to the ER fluid flowing through the housing. By establishing fields for select independently controllable electrodes to close their associated flow passages and by leaving other flow passages open, restricted flow of the ER fluid through the housing is accomplished to vary the flow rate through the housing. |

| ABSTRACT | A composite active waveguide temperature sensor (10) incorporates a first, sensor portion (16) formed of an environment-resistant material such as ceramic coupled through an ultrasonically-transparent bond (20) to a second, waveguide portion (18) formed of an ultrasonically-transmissive material such as a metallic filament wire. By doing so, the sensor portion (16) may be positioned within a harsh environment and subjected to a temperature to be measured, and the waveguide portion (18) may be used to propagate ultrasonic energy to and/or from the sensor portion (16) to a location distal from the harsh environment for measurement of the temperature. The ultrasonically-transparent bond (20) between these portions (16, 18) limits attenuation of and the introduction of reflections and other noise to an ultrasonic signal propagated across the bond (20). |

| ABSTRACT | Ultra-thin conductors are employed to generate plasmon fields near the surface of the conductors. Emitters, such as atoms, molecules, quantum dots, or quantum wells, in the plasmon fields can emit and absorb light via transitions that are otherwise forbidden in the absence of the plasmon fields. Applications using these forbidden transitions include spectroscopy, organic light sources, and broadband light generation. For example, in a spectroscopic platform, an emitter is disposed in the plasmon fields to excite electronic transitions that are otherwise unexcitable. In organic light sources, plasmon fields quench excited triplet states, allowing fast singlet decay with the emission of light. In broadband light generation, strong two-plasmon spontaneous emission of emitters near ultrathin conductors is employed to produce a broad spectrum of light. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention comprises a novel approach for optimizing detection performance of a standoff optical detection system using the inelastic scattering of light from the target and/or inelastic scattering of light from molecules between the light emitting source and the target. This is a useful approach primarily for systems which already employ a pulsed light source, a detector, and a timing mechanism but whose primary function is not the detection of range. Using this methodology removes the need to deploy a secondary device to find range or augments the ability of any included range finder to widen the overall system operating envelope, reliability, and performance. |

| ABSTRACT | A flow cell and method for photometric transmission measurements are disclosed in which a folded optical path provides for co-located, collinear fiber optic read and illumination cables that can be bundled together. Light passes through a fluid sample, is reflected off a pair of right-angle turning mirrors and returns through the fluid for a second pass. A center divider separates fluid passages on the first pass of the light through the fluid and the second pass of the light through the fluid to block any undesired backscattered light from reaching a detector. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for detection of a potentially irradiated object utilizing oxygen-17 (17O) quantities in a local atmosphere contacting the potentially irradiated object. The local atmosphere comprises nitrogen-14 (14N) and is typically air. The 17O quantity in the local atmosphere is determined through sampling using mass spectroscopy, nuclear resonance magnetic imaging, gas chromatography, or some other method. The 17O quantity in the local atmosphere is compared to a baseline quantity of 17O and deviations are treated as an indicator that a nuclear reaction converting 14N to 17O has occurred or is occurring. Typically the local atmosphere is isolated to some degree from an external atmosphere via some type of enclosure or container, and the external atmosphere provides the baseline quantity of 17O used for the comparison. |

| ABSTRACT | A multistatic array topology and image reconstruction process for fast 3D near field microwave imaging are presented. Together, the techniques allow for hardware efficient realization of an electrically large aperture and video-rate image reconstruction. The array topology samples the scene on a regular grid of phase centers, using a tiling of multistatic arrays. Following a multistatic-to-monostatic correction, the sampled data can then be processed with the well-known and highly efficient monostatic Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) imaging algorithm. In this work, the approach is described and validated experimentally with the formation of high quality microwave images. The scheme is more than two orders of magnitude more computationally efficient than the backprojection method. In fact, it is so efficient that a cluster of four commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) graphical processing units (GPUs) can render a 3D image of a human-sized scene in 0.048-0.101 seconds. |

| ABSTRACT | A Taint Modeling Function (TMF) finds abstract patterns and uses them to automate the malware detection process. TMF involves the process of statically analyzing a sequence of assembly language instructions and abstracting complex relationships among instruction inputs and outputs into a mathematical function containing a set of algebraic expressions. The set of expressions support fully automating semantic pattern detection in binary code. It deterministically generates outputs given inputs determining code block outputs, for given inputs, without executing the code. It detects code patterns automatically to spot bad coding patterns directly from the binary used to detect bugs statically in the entire application space. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods of detecting an object in an image using a convolutional neural network based architecture that processes multiple feature maps of differing scales from differing convolution layers within a convolutional network to create a regional-proposal bounding box. The bounding box is projected back to the feature maps of the individual convolution layers to obtain a set of regions of interest. These regions of interest are then processed to ultimately create a confidence score representing the confidence that the object detected in the bounding box is the desired object. These processes allow the method to utilize deep features encoded in both the global and the local representation for object regions, allowing the method to robustly deal with challenges in the problem of robust object detection. Software for executing the disclosed methods within an object-detection system is also disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention discloses nanocrystalline (NC) FeS2 thin films as the back contact for CdTe solar cells. In one example, the FeS2 NC layer is prepared from a solution directly on the CdTe surface using spin-casting and chemical treatment at ambient temperature and pressure, without a thermal treatment step. Solar cells prepared by applying the NC FeS2 back contact onto CdTe yield efficiencies of about 95% to 100% that of standard Cu/Au back contact devices. In another example, FeS2 is interposed between Cu and Au to form a Cu/FeS2 NC/Au back contact configuration yielding an efficiency improvement of 5 to 9 percent higher than standard Cu/Au devices. |

| ABSTRACT | An important component in digital circuits is a phase rotator, which permits precise time-shifting (or equivalently, phase rotation) of a clock signal within a clock period. A digital phase rotator can access multiple discrete values of phase under digital control. Such a device can have application in digital clock synchronization circuits, and can also be used for a digital phase modulator that encodes a digital signal. A digital phase rotator has been implemented in superconducting integrated circuit technology, using rapid single-flux-quantum logic (RSFQ). This circuit can exhibit positive or negative phase shifts of a multi-phase clock. Arbitrary precision can be obtained by cascading a plurality of phase rotator stages. Such a circuit forms a phase-modulator that is the core of a direct digital synthesizer that can operate at multi-gigahertz radio frequencies. |

| ABSTRACT | In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a thermal management system for electronics includes a vapor chamber that at least partially envelops the electronics, a working fluid contained within the vapor chamber and used to dissipate heat from a part of a heated portion of the electronics and a precision sintered 3D wick structure independently created on some of the interior of the vapor chamber. The precision sintered 3D wick structure transports the working fluid by capillary action from at least one working fluid receptacle to a part of the heated portion of the electronics. In one embodiment of the invention, the 3D vapor chamber may be formed by the additive manufacturing processes. A further example includes precision sintered 3D support structures integrated into the closed 3D vapor chamber. The support structures mainly facilitate to support the 3D closed vapor chamber envelope from collapsing during operation, and add overall structural strength and additionally facilitate transfer of liquids and gas through their internal 3D porous zones. |

| ABSTRACT | An ADCS module may be configured to use coordinate data from 2D photodiodes in one or more sun sensors to determine a sun vector. The ADCS module may then use the sun vector in reference to its own body faced (BF) coordinate system to calculate a change in the orientation of the space vehicle. The change in orientation mechanism may be accomplished by reaction wheels, ion thrusters, or other orientation altering mechanisms. A miniature, intelligent star tracker may be included that improves satellite attitude determination and pointing accuracy. An improved reaction wheel assembly may be included that is more robust and suitable for inclusion in small space vehicles. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for coating a dielectric substrate with a R-GO film includes positioning the dielectric substrate in a chamber which is purged with a first gas to adjust a pressure of the chamber to a first pressure. A second gas at a second flow rate and a third gas at a third flow rate is inserted into the chamber to increase the chamber pressure to a second pressure greater than the first pressure. A chamber temperature is increased to a first temperature. The flow of the second gas and the third gas is stopped. The chamber is purged to a third pressure higher than the first pressure and lower than the second pressure. The pressure of the chamber is set at a fourth pressure greater than the first pressure and the third pressure. A fourth gas is inserted into the chamber at a fourth flow rate for a first time. |

| ABSTRACT | A compact, rugged and portable measurement cell design for the determination of sound speed in fluids at temperatures up to 250° C. and pressures up to 3,000 psi is described. Swept Frequency Acoustic Interferometry measurement for liquid sound speed determinations in liquids up to 250° C. is of both fundamental interest, as in the case of basic equations of state, and applied interest, such as for characterizing geothermal or petroleum down hole environments. Representative sound speeds for water, as a function of temperature and pressure, are in agreement with an internationally accepted standard for the sound speed of water. |

| ABSTRACT | A configuration system for identifying a target configuration of agents for acquiring data is provided. In some embodiments, the configuration system generates sample configurations, each of which has a location within the space for each agent. The configuration system selects as the target configuration a sample configuration that is suitable to acquire data. The configuration system selects the target configuration by, for at least one or more sample configurations, directing that the agents assume the sample configuration and then acquire data when in the sample configuration. The configuration system then stores, for each sample configuration, an indication of suitability for acquiring data based on the sample configuration. The configuration system selects a sample configuration that is deemed to be suitable as the target configuration. |

| ABSTRACT | A data processing system includes a memory system, a first processing element, a first address translator that maps virtual addresses to system addresses, a second address translator that maps system address to physical addresses, and a task management unit. A first program task uses a first virtual memory space that is mapped to a first system address range using a first table. The context of the first program task includes an address of the first table and is cloned by creating a second table indicative of a mapping from a second virtual address space to a second range of system addresses, where the second range is mapped to the same physical addresses as the first range until a write occurs, at which time memory is allocated and the mapping of the second range is updated. The cloned context includes an address of the second table. |

| ABSTRACT | A cooling system for a reactor module includes a reactor pressure vessel that houses primary coolant and a steam generator that lowers a temperature of the reactor pressure vessel by transferring heat from the primary coolant to a secondary coolant. The steam generator releases at least a portion of the secondary coolant as steam. Additionally, the cooling system includes a containment vessel that at least partially surrounds the reactor vessel in a containment region. The containment region is dry during normal operation of the reactor module. A controller introduces a source of water into the containment region in response to a non-emergency shut down of the reactor module. The source of water is located external to the containment vessel, and the water is introduced into the containment region after the steam generator has initially lowered the temperature of the reactor pressure vessel in response to releasing the steam. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are methods and systems for adjusting a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) compensator output signal to an HVDC system to reduce control loop modulus due to excessive time delay of sensor measurements. Two different time windows, a Short-Time Variance Window (STVW) and an Extended-Time Variance Window (ETVW) may be examined for detection of increased energy. To detect increased energy the HVDC compensator output signal may be passed through a bandpass filter, then variances for the STVW and ETVW may be generated to produce corresponding test statistics. The STVW and ETVW test statistics may be compared to hypothesis test thresholds and have binary logic based on the hypothesis test comparisons used to generate a gain. The gain may then be multiplied times the original HVDC feedback compensator output such that the adjusted HVDC feedback compensator output reduces the control loop modulus when applied to the HVDC system. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatuses, and methods for managing variations among nodes in parallel system frameworks. Sensor and performance data associated with the nodes of a multi-node cluster may be monitored to detect variations among the nodes. A variability metric may be calculated for each node of the cluster based on the sensor and performance data associated with the node. The variability metrics may then be used by a mapper to efficiently map tasks of a parallel application to the nodes of the cluster. In one embodiment, the mapper may assign the critical tasks of the parallel application to the nodes with the lowest variability metrics. In another embodiment, the hardware of the nodes may be reconfigured so as to reduce the node-to-node variability. |

| ABSTRACT | Significant and aggregate user authentication activity may be analyzed across a population of users and computers in one or more networks to differentiate between authorized users and intruders in a network, and/or to detect inappropriate behavior by otherwise authorized users. Dynamic graphs and graph models over user and computer authentication activity, including time-constrained models, may be used for the purposes of profiling and analyzing user behavior in computer networks. More specifically, an edge-based breadth first search of graphs may be used that enforces time-constraints while maintaining traditional breadth first search computational complexity equivalence. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods are presented for determining pulse transit time (PTT) and/or pulse wave velocity (PWV) of a subject by application of parametric system identification to proximal and distal arterial waveforms. The two waveforms are measured from the subject. A system is defined that relates the proximal arterial waveform to the distal arterial waveform (or vice versa) in terms of the unknown parameters of a parametric mathematical model. The model parameters are determined from the measured waveforms using system identification. PTT between the proximal and distal arterial sites is then determined from the system model. PWV may also be determined by dividing the distance between measurement sites (D) by PTT. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention includes a tethered ankle-foot prosthesis emulator having two independently-actuated forefoot digits that are coordinated to provide plantarflexion and inversion-eversion torques, and an independently-actuated heel. An end-effector was designed which is worn by a subject, and which was integrated with off-board motor and control hardware, to facilitate high bandwidth torque control. The platform is suitable for haptic rendering of virtual devices in experiments with humans, which may reveal strategies for improving balance or allow controlled comparisons of conventional prosthesis features. A similar morphology is also effective for autonomous devices. |

| ABSTRACT | A transport device comprises: a fluid cell comprising parallel substrates; an anisotropic electrolyte disposed in the fluid cell; and electrodes configured to apply an AC electric field to the anisotropic electrolyte disposed in the fluid cell. A substrate of the fluid cell includes a pattern that induces a director distortion pattern in the anisotropic electrolyte disposed in the fluid cell. The director distortion pattern has a gradient configured to induce electrokinetic flow of the anisotropic electrolyte in the fluid cell in response to the AC electric field applied by the electrodes. Cargo, such as particles, gas bubbles, or fluid, is dispersed in the anisotropic electrolyte and transported in the fluid cell by the induced electrokinetic flow of the anisotropic electrolyte. The induced electrokinetic flow may be linear, curvilinear, circular so as to induce mixing, depending on the predesigned director pattern. The director pattern might be nonsingular (defect free) or may contain defects such as disclinations that produce pumping effects and can trap cargo at a core of the disclination. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to a vehicle-based infrastructure diagnostic apparatus to assist in the maintenance of rail networks. This is a complete system—from the acquisition of vibration signals in a moving vehicle, to the presentation of the infrastructure changes to the maintenance workers. This apparatus relies on novel techniques to account for the variable speed of the train (making it useful even on non-dedicated rail vehicles) and novel techniques to normalize for various environmental conditions. This system could help maintenance departments identify and remediate anomalies more rapidly, as well as trace network deterioration over time. The apparatus consists of low-cost unobtrusive sensors, software for data analysis, and hardware that makes it easy to deploy widely even on existing rail networks. |

| ABSTRACT | Using 3D printing, a microwell is formed by providing a plurality of masks, each mask representing a cross-section of a layer of the concave structure. Progressive movement of a projection plane exposes a pre-polymer solution to polymerizing radiation modulated by the masks to define the layers of the microwell, where each layer is exposed for a non-equal exposure period as determined by a non-linear factor. In a preferred embodiment, a first portion of the masks are base layer masks, which are exposed for a longer period than subsequent exposure periods. Shapes of the microwells, which may include circular, square, annular, or other geometric shapes, and their depths, are selected to promote aggregation behavior in the target cells, which may include tumor cells and stem cells. |

| ABSTRACT | Extraction of rare earths from end-of-use machinery having rare earth magnets provides a closed-loop process towards recycling rare earths from commingled devices having embedded magnets such as motors, generators and disk drives. A low temperature process selectively leaches the magnet material from mixed scrap containing shredded fragments of the machinery which includes other metals such as steel and copper. Filtration separates the other metals from the leached, dissolved magnet material, which is precipitated by oxalic acid to form oxalates in powder form, suitable for use in production of new rare earth magnetic material. Leaching acid, such as HCl (hydrochloric acid), is recoverable via pyrohydrolysis, and redirected back to the leaching step for completing the closed-loop aspect. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure provides techniques for the creation of maps of indoor spaces. In these techniques, an individual or a team with no mapping or cartography expertise can contribute to the creation of maps of buildings, campuses or cities. An indoor location system can track the location of contributors in the building. As they walk through indoor spaces, an application may automatically create a map based on data from motion sensors by both tracking the location of the contributors and also inferring building features such as hallways, stairways, and elevators based on the tracked contributors' motions as they move through a structure. With these techniques, the process of mapping buildings can be crowd sourced to a large number of contributors, making the indoor mapping process efficient and easy to scale up. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention discloses nanocrystalline (NC) FeS2 thin films as the back contact for CdTe solar cells. In one example, the FeS2 NC layer is prepared from a solution directly on the CdTe surface using spin-casting and chemical treatment at ambient temperature and pressure, without a thermal treatment step. Solar cells prepared by applying the NC FeS2 back contact onto CdTe yield efficiencies of about 95% to 100% that of standard Cu/Au back contact devices. In another example, FeS2 is interposed between Cu and Au to form a Cu/FeS2 NC/Au back contact configuration yielding an efficiency improvement of 5 to 9 percent higher than standard Cu/Au devices. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrostatic clutch is described comprising a plurality of micron-scale thickness electrodes, adjacent electrodes being separated by a thin film of dielectric material. A power source and controller apply a voltage across two electrodes, causing an electrostatic force to develop. When engaged, a force can be transferred through the clutch. A tensioning device maintains the alignment of the clutch when the electrodes are disengaged, but permits movement in at least one direction. In some embodiments, multiple clutches are connected to an output to provide variable force control and a broad range of torque input and output values. Moreover, the clutch can be used as an energy-recycling actuator that captures mechanical energy from negative work movements, and returns energy during positive work movements. |

| ABSTRACT | The amino acid and nucleic acid sequences of a Δ5-desaturase enzyme and a Δ8-desaturase enzyme are disclosed. The nucleic acid sequences can be used to design recombinant DNA constructs and vectors. These vectors can then be used to transform various organisms, including for example, plants and yeast. The transformed organisms will then produce polyunsaturated fatty acids. The amino acid sequences are useful for generating enzyme-specific antibodies that are useful for identifying the desaturases. |

| ABSTRACT | The cryogenic trapping system traps organic arsenicals within a centrally-positioned cryotrap body and allows inorganic arsenical to flow through the cryotrap body. As a hydride gas is directed into the central cryotrap body, the gas is cooled by a pair of Peltier units that sandwich the cryotrap body so that the cold side of each of the Peltier units abuts the cryotrap body. The hot side of each Peltier unit abuts a heat exchanger—which cools the Peltier unit. In the preferred embodiment, organic arsenicals are trapped in a sorbent bed within the cryotrap body. |

| ABSTRACT | A reflection optical filter has an ultra-thin semi-transparent layer and a thin layer of semiconductor (or dielectric) layer deposited onto a metal film surface at a certain thickness corresponding to a wavelength of light to be filtered from incoming light. Critical coupling of light to the optical cavity formed by the semi-transparent layer and semiconductor (or dielectric) layer on metal surface results in near perfect absorption of the light at one wavelength and strong absorption in the wavelength region near the peak absorption wavelength. Incoming lights of other wavelengths are mostly reflected by the device so the spectral content of incident light is changed. By controlling the thickness of the semiconductor (or dielectric) layer and/or other factors, such as the extent to which the semiconductor layer is annealed or changing the type of metal beneath the semiconductor (or dielectric) layer, the peak absorption wavelength of the light absorbed in the device can be precisely controlled. The overall thickness of the semi-transparent layer and semiconductor (or dielectric) layer is less than one order of magnitude of the wavelength to be filtered, which results in omni-directional performance of the optical filter. |

| ABSTRACT | Magnetoquasistatic through-the-wall non-line-of-sight coupling between a mobile transmitting device located within a building, or indoor, and a fixed receiving device located outside the building, outdoor, enables positioning of the transmitting device through the wall of the building and in non-line-of-sight environments. Systems based on magnetoquasistatic coupling can separately sense the distance and orientation of the transmitting device accurately even in heavy non-line-sight environments such as steel-reinforced buildings. The approach permits sensing and determination of location and attitude of mobile devices in buildings and can be used to locate rescue workers, first responders, or law enforcement officers inside a building. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosed embodiments relate to the design of a high-speed frequency doubler circuit. During operation, the circuit uses a transformer-based balun to convert a single-ended input signal into a differential signal, wherein the transformer-based balun includes a transformer with a primary coil, which receives the single-ended input signal, and a secondary coil, which produces the differential signal. The transformer also includes a central compensation capacitor coupled between a center tap of the secondary coil and ground, wherein the central compensation capacitor acts to suppress common-mode components in the differential signal. Next, the circuit uses a pseudo-differential amplifier to convert the differential signal into a single-ended output signal, which has double the frequency of the single-ended input signal. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to magnetic contrast structures for magnetic resonance imaging, and methods of their use. The contrast structures include magnetic materials arranged as a pair of disk-shaped magnetic components with a space between a circular surface of each disk shape, or a tubular magnetic structure, a substantially cylindrical magnetic structure, a substantially spherical shell-formed magnetic structure, or a substantially ellipsoidal shell-formed structure, each defining a hollow region therein. The space and/or hollow region in the contrast structure creates a spatially extended region contained within a near-field region of the contrast structure over which an applied magnetic field results in a homogeneous field, such that nuclear magnetic moments of a second material when arranged within the spatially extended region precess at a characteristic Larmor frequency, whereby the contrast structure is adapted to emit a characteristic magnetic resonance signal of the magnetic material. |

| ABSTRACT | An active regenerator in a magnetocaloric or an electrocaloric heat pump refrigeration system provides more efficient flow of heat. The heat exchange fluid moves synchronously with the motion of a magnetic or electric field. Only a portion of the length of the active regenerator bed is introduced to or removed from the field at one time, giving rise to a hot pulse and a cold pulse. Valves may direct the hot pulse and/or the cold pulse to supplement refrigeration. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to a vehicle-based infrastructure diagnostic apparatus to assist in the maintenance of rail networks. This is a complete system—from the acquisition of vibration signals in a moving vehicle, to the presentation of the infrastructure changes to the maintenance workers. This apparatus relies on novel techniques to account for the variable speed of the train (making it useful even on non-dedicated rail vehicles) and novel techniques to normalize for various environmental conditions. This system could help maintenance departments identify and remediate anomalies more rapidly, as well as trace network deterioration over time. The apparatus consists of low-cost unobtrusive sensors, software for data analysis, and hardware that makes it easy to deploy widely even on existing rail networks. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for isolating signals from individual vehicles. An array of sensors generates a plurality of time records. The time records are transformed into spectrogram structures, and for each time-frequency point in the spectrogram structures, a bearing is calculated, to form a movement structure. A Hough transform is used to fit a movement model to the movement structure, to form a Hough transform structure. Peaks in the Hough transform structure correspond to vehicles and their position in the Hough transform structure correspond to motion parameters, such as the velocity of the vehicle, and the time of closest approach of the vehicle to the array of acoustic sensors. A model of the motion of a vehicle is then used to associate, with the vehicle, points (e.g., structure elements in the spectrogram structures) from the data. |

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 16, 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?
