| ABSTRACT | A system and method for combining the effects of magnetic field waveforms, ultrasonic motion and pulsed electric field waveforms in an electrolytic cell creates a sympathetic interaction among the three waveforms that improves the electrochemical machining process. Precisely controlling the coupled effects of simultaneously applying at least two of the three waveforms to the electrochemical cell improves the metal removal rate of the process and the surface finish of the resulting piece. The coupled effects are termed a sympathetic interaction as they can be damped or amplified by modifying the phasing, frequency, orientation or amplitude of the waveforms. In an electrochemical machining process aided by an external magnetic field and periodic ultrasonic relative motion between the tool and working piece, improvements are realized by utilizing for at least two of the magnetic field waveform, electric waveform and ultrasonic waveform, a common frequency and a chosen phase lag between the two waveforms. |

| ABSTRACT | A process for converting a crystalline energetic material to an amorphous energetic material that is less susceptible to accidental detonation initiation by mechanical insults. The process includes forming the amorphous energetic material as a deposition of a vapor of the crystalline energetic material sublimed from a hot surface in a vacuum. The deposition is onto a cryogenically cold surface of a dry ice layer. The deposition solidifies as a layer of amorphous energetic material. Subliming the dry ice layer therein breaking the layer of amorphous energetic material into a powder of the amorphous energetic material; and collecting the powder. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a novel system of nano-assemblies and related method for delivery of therapeutic, diagnostic or imaging agent to biological sites. The compositions and methods of the invention enable the syntheses of novel polymeric nano-assemblies (nanoparticles) under non-emulsion conditions with the incorporation of hydrophobic guest molecules. The versatilities and advantages of the polymer nanoparticles of the invention include: (i) the guest molecules (e.g., drug molecules) can be readily incorporated non-covalently within the nanoparticles; (ii) the surface of the nanoparticles are functionalizable; (iii) the non-covalently encapsulated guest molecule (payload) can be released in response to a biologically relevant stimulus at the target site; (iv) the payload is held by the polymeric nanoparticle before being internalized in cells and can be released within the cellular interiors; (v) encapsulating lipophilic small molecules within its crosslinked interiors and binding proteins on its surface through electrostatic interactions; (vi) facile synthetic methods for ligand functionalization that can be utilized to decorate nanogels with cell targeting ligands that facilitate receptor-dependent cellular uptake, and (vii) the payload release kinetics is tunable and controllable. |

| ABSTRACT | A programmable photonic integrated circuit implements arbitrary linear optics transformations in the spatial mode basis with high fidelity. Under a realistic fabrication model, we analyze programmed implementations of the CNOT gate, CPHASE gate, iterative phase estimation algorithm, state preparation, and quantum random walks. We find that programmability dramatically improves device tolerance to fabrication imperfections and enables a single device to implement a broad range of both quantum and classical linear optics experiments. Our results suggest that existing fabrication processes are sufficient to build such a device in the silicon photonics platform. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein is a novel optical particle characterization system and method of use that can be applied to harsh environments. By separating the sensing components from the electronics unit and using optical fibers for interconnection, only the sensing components need to endure harsh environmental conditions. This reduces the design constraints on the electronics unit and permits the incorporation of optical components into the sensing probe that can withstand high-temperature and high-pressure environments. |

| ABSTRACT | Measuring a sample includes providing a magnetic field at the sample using an electromagnetic field resonator. The electromagnetic field resonator includes two or more resonant structures at least partially contained within dielectric material of a substrate, at least a first resonant structure configured to provide the magnetic field at the sample positioned in proximity to the first resonant structure. The sample is characterized by an electron spin resonance frequency. A size of an inner area of the first resonant structure and a number of resonant structures included in the electromagnetic field resonator at least partially determine a range of an operating resonance frequency of the electromagnetic field resonator that includes the electron spin resonance frequency. Measuring the sample also includes receiving an output optical signal from the sample generated based at least in part on a magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic field resonator. |

| ABSTRACT | A portable magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) system that uses static magnetic field inhomogeneities in the main magnet for encoding the spatial location of nuclear spins is provided. Also provided is a spatial-encoding scheme for a low-field, low-power consumption, light-weight, and easily transportable MRI system. In general, the portable MRI system spatially encodes images using spatial inhomogeneities in the polarizing magnetic field rather than using gradient fields. Thus, an inhomogeneous static field is used to polarize, readout, and encode an image of the object. To provide spatial encoding, the magnet is rotated around the object to generate a number of differently encoded measurements. An image is then reconstructed by solving for the object most consistent with the data. |

| ABSTRACT | A radar antenna system includes a single transmitter for creating pulses from a wideband waveform. A splitter divides each pulse into half-power pulses, and sends them along respective paths. On one path, successive half-power pulses are alternately modulated with a phase shift ϕA or ϕF. On the other path, the half-power pulses are not modulated. Each modulated half-power pulse is then combined with an un-modulated half-power pulse to transmit pulses of a full aperture beam with either ϕA or ϕF. This establishes two degrees of freedom for the system. Two separate receivers then simultaneously receive the pulse echoes and a signal processor uses the consequent four degrees of freedom to create a radar indicator with mitigated clutter and useable azimuth estimation. A coherent processing interval can then be selected for multi-mode operation of the system. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are provided for mechanically encapsulating an infrared transmitting optical fiber, removing any power coupled to the cladding of the infrared optical fiber, and bridging the thermal properties between the optical fiber and the mechanical ferrule used. Embodiments of the present disclosure have several advantages over prior systems. For example, in an embodiment, the transmitting ferrule does not require epoxy to mount the fiber to the ferrule, isolates the front face of the fiber, and allows for high power to be incident on the connector without damage by reducing the thermal induced stress and managing any stray light coupled to the core. |

| ABSTRACT | A ferrule for an optical fiber connector has an external surface for alignment with a complementary surface of an alignment sleeve (i.e., the inside surface of a generally cylindrical or tubular sleeve). The external surface of the ferrule is generally cylindrical, having a sectional contact surface profile that is generally oval in shape. More specifically, a plurality of points of contact between the ferrule and the sleeve are defined along a curve in cross-section, wherein the center of curvature at each of the contact points along this contact point curve (i.e., the curve containing contact points that contribute to alignment) does not lie in the plane of the axis of the array of optical fibers. |

| ABSTRACT | A display for augmented reality (AR) includes an array of optical phased arrays (OPAs) integrated into a transparent substrate. The array of OPAs emit light encoded with four dimensional (4D) light field including 2D spatial coordinates and 2D directional coordinates to create an image of a virtual object on a retina of a viewer. By adjusting the emission directions of light beam emitted by individual OPAs in the display, the depth perception can be adjusted accordingly. The array of OPAs can also be encoded with holographic information, including intensity and phase distribution, of a virtual object to create the image of the virtual object on the retina. The AR display can further incorporate liquid crystal (LC) into the OPAs for modulating the amplitudes and relative phases of light emitted by the OPAs. |

| ABSTRACT | Various embodiments are described that relate to a proportional-integral-derivative controller. The proportional-integral-derivative controller obtains an input voltage and from the input voltage produces an output voltage. Achievement of a particular output voltage can be accomplished through variable resistances in the proportional-integral-derivative controller. To realize these variable resistances, a switching capacitor set can be employed. The switching capacitor set can include individual capacitors with switches. The switches can function with a switching frequency. The switching frequency causes individual capacitors to function with an effective resistance. The resistance can directly correspond to the switching frequency. To change the resistance, the switching frequency can be changed. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for containing plasma and forming a Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) magnetic topology are described in which plasma ions are contained magnetically in stable, non-adiabatic orbits in the FRC. Further, the electrons are contained electrostatically in a deep energy well, created by tuning an externally applied magnetic field. The simultaneous electrostatic confinement of electrons and magnetic confinement of ions avoids anomalous transport and facilitates classical containment of both electrons and ions. In this configuration, ions and electrons may have adequate density and temperature so that upon collisions ions are fused together by nuclear force, thus releasing fusion energy. Moreover, the fusion fuel plasmas that can be used with the present confinement system and method are not limited to neutronic fuels only, but also advantageously include advanced fuels. |

| ABSTRACT | Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) structures are described which enable their use as widely wavelength-swept coherent light sources and multiple-wavelength VCSEL arrays. Three general configurations are described: (a) a semiconductor-cavity-dominant (SCD) with high reflection at the semiconductor-air interface, (b) an extended-cavity (EC) design in which reflections at the semiconductor-air interface is reduced to insignificance compared to the SCD design with a refractive index-matched layer (i.e., AR layer) so the entire structure resonates as one cavity, and (c) an air-cavity-dominant (ACD) design which facilitates a larger field confinement in the air gap, and the increased field confinement causes the air gap to be the dominant cavity. |

| ABSTRACT | A gate drive circuit for generating asymmetric drive voltages comprises a gate drive transformer comprising: a primary winding responsive to a pulse width module (PWM) input signal to generate a bipolar signal having a positive bias voltage and a negative bias voltage; and a secondary winding responsive to the bipolar signal to generate a PWM output signal. A first charge pump is connected to the secondary winding responsive to the PWM output signal to generate a level shifted PWM output signal. A second charge pump is connected to the secondary winding to generate a readjusted PWM output signal by decreasing at least a portion of the level shifted PWM output signal. A gate switching device is connected to the first charge pump and second charge pump. A level shifted PWM output signal establishes an ON condition and the readjusted PWM output signal establishes an OFF condition of the gate MOSFET. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for transmitting a message, including an array of signal radiating elements for broadcasting signals that are unique one from another. One each of the unique signals is associated with one each of the radiating elements. One each of a set of transmitters is in electronic communication with one each of the radiating elements, and provides the associated unique signal to each of the radiating elements. A signal generating device receives the message from a message source and transforms the message into the unique signals. The unique signals, when broadcast, spatially interfere one with another such that the message is intelligibly receivable at only one location that is predetermined by the signal generating device, and is garbled at all other locations. |

| 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 using an ultrasound system and tissue displacement resulting from the applied acoustic force is measured. From the tissue displacement measurements, a complex modulus, such as a relative complex modulus, is extracted. A loss tangent is calculated from the extracted complex modulus. Using the calculated loss tangent, viscoelastic tissue property metrics may be calculated. |

| ABSTRACT | A sample testing cartridge is usable to perform a variety of tests on a viscoelastic sample, such hemostasis testing on a whole blood or blood component sample. The cartridge includes a sample processing portion that is in fluid communication with a sample retention structure. A suspension, such as a beam, arm, cantilever or similar structure supports or suspends the sample retention portion relative to the sample processing portion in a unitary structure. In this manner, the sample retention portion may be placed into dynamic excitation responsive to excitation of the cartridge and correspondingly dynamic, resonant excitation of the sample contained within the sample retention portion, while the sample processing portion remains fixed. Observation of the excited sample yields data indicative of hemostasis. The data may correspond to hemostasis parameters such as time to initial clot formation, rate of clot formation, maximum clot strength and degree of clot lysis. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention is a high-throughput voltage screening crystallographic device and methodology that uses multiple micro wells and electric circuits capable of assaying different crystallization condition for the same or different proteins of interest at the same of different voltages under a humidity and temperature controlled environment. The protein is solubilized in a lipid matrix similar to the lipid composition of the protein in the native environment to ensure stability of the protein during crystallization. The invention provides a system and method where the protein is transferred to a lipid matrix that holds a resting membrane potential, which reduces the degree of conformational freedom of the protein. The invention overcomes the majority of the difficulties associated with vapor diffusion techniques and essentially reconstitutes the protein in its native lipid environment under “cuasi” physiological conditions. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for nanopore-based protein analysis are provided. The methods address the characterization of a target protein analyte, which has a dimension greater than an internal diameter of the nanopore tunnel, and which is also physically associated with a polymer. The methods further comprise applying an electrical potential to the nanopore system to cause the polymer to interact with the nanopore tunnel. The ion current through the nanopore is measured to provide a current pattern reflective of the structure of the portion of the polymer interacting with the nanopore tunnel. This is used as a metric for characterizing the associated protein that does not pass through the nanopore. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to a system and method for magnetic resonance imaging including an extended Fourier transform-based velocity-selective pulse train design with a pair of refocusing pulses within each velocity encoding step and accompanying phase cycling between different velocity encoding steps. The present invention is robust to B0/B1 field inhomogeneity and eddy current effects. The utility of this technique, through a velocity-selective inversion pulse, is demonstrated in a 2D velocity-selective arterials spin labeling study, which shows a reasonable agreement in CBF quantification with the standard PCASL method. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are appendage mountable electronic systems and related methods for covering and conforming to an appendage surface. A flexible or stretchable substrate has an inner surface for receiving an appendage, including an appendage having a curved surface, and an opposed outer surface that is accessible to external surfaces. A stretchable or flexible electronic device is supported by the substrate inner and/or outer surface, depending on the application of interest. The electronic device in combination with the substrate provides a net bending stiffness to facilitate conformal contact between the inner surface and a surface of the appendage provided within the enclosure. In an aspect, the system is capable of surface flipping without adversely impacting electronic device functionality, such as electronic devices comprising arrays of sensors, actuators, or both sensors and actuators. |

| ABSTRACT | An exoskeleton (100) includes two torque generators (116, 118), two thigh links (104,106), and a supporting trunk (112) rotatably coupled to the thigh links (104, 106). When a wearer bends forward in the sagittal plane such that the supporting trunk (112) extends beyond a predetermined angle A with respect to vertical, at least one of the torque generators (116, 118) imposes a resisting torque between the supporting trunk (112) and a corresponding thigh link (104, 106), thus imposing a force onto a wearer's trunk and thighs to aid in supporting the wearer in a bent position. The exoskeleton (100) may include an active or passive means (116, 134) for actuating the torque generators (116, 118). When the supporting trunk (112) does not extend beyond the predetermined angle A, the torque generators (116, 118) do not impose resisting torques between the supporting trunk (112) and the thigh links (104, 106) during the entire range of motion of the thigh links (104, 106), thus enabling a wearer to walk, run, and sit without constraint while in a substantially upright position. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a novel system of nano-assemblies and related method for delivery of therapeutic, diagnostic or imaging agent to biological sites. The compositions and methods of the invention enable the syntheses of novel polymeric nano-assemblies (nanoparticles) under non-emulsion conditions with the incorporation of hydrophobic guest molecules. The versatilities and advantages of the polymer nanoparticles of the invention include: (i) the guest molecules (e.g., drug molecules) can be readily incorporated non-covalently within the nanoparticles; (ii) the surface of the nanoparticles are functionalizable; (iii) the non-covalently encapsulated guest molecule (payload) can be released in response to a biologically relevant stimulus at the target site; (iv) the payload is held by the polymeric nanoparticle before being internalized in cells and can be released within the cellular interiors; (v) encapsulating lipophilic small molecules within its crosslinked interiors and binding proteins on its surface through electrostatic interactions; (vi) facile synthetic methods for ligand functionalization that can be utilized to decorate nanogels with cell targeting ligands that facilitate receptor-dependent cellular uptake, and (vii) the payload release kinetics is tunable and controllable. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are appendage mountable electronic systems and related methods for covering and conforming to an appendage surface. A flexible or stretchable substrate has an inner surface for receiving an appendage, including an appendage having a curved surface, and an opposed outer surface that is accessible to external surfaces. A stretchable or flexible electronic device is supported by the substrate inner and/or outer surface, depending on the application of interest. The electronic device in combination with the substrate provides a net bending stiffness to facilitate conformal contact between the inner surface and a surface of the appendage provided within the enclosure. In an aspect, the system is capable of surface flipping without adversely impacting electronic device functionality, such as electronic devices comprising arrays of sensors, actuators, or both sensors and actuators. |

| ABSTRACT | A carbon dioxide to hydrocarbon conversion device and method are disclosed. A partially produced hydrocarbon subterranean reservoir comprising residual hydrocarbons is provided. A carbon dioxide source is provided, positioned on a surface proximate to the reservoir. A surface mounted high-pressure fluid injector system connecting the carbon dioxide source and the reservoir is provided. A backflow preventer is disposed in-line between the injector system and the reservoir. The injector system injects a catalyst-free feed stream, comprising carbon dioxide, into the reservoir up to an operating pressure. The backflow preventer maintains the operating pressure in the reservoir and sequesters the feed stream in the reservoir. The sequestered carbon dioxide reacts with water and at least a portion of the residual hydrocarbons over a time period to produce additional hydrocarbons. The water is present in the reservoir, provided by the feed stream, or both. The additional hydrocarbons are recovered after the time period. |

| ABSTRACT | Turbine generator faults can be detected by receiving a current signal from the turbine generator, and synchronously sampling the current signal to obtain a set of current signal samples that are evenly spaced in the phase domain, in which phase differences between adjacent current signal samples in the set of current signal samples are substantially the same. The process includes generating a frequency spectrum of the current signal samples, identifying one or more excitations in the frequency spectrum, and detecting a fault in the turbine generator based on the one or more excitations in the frequency spectrum. |

| ABSTRACT | A SiC MOSFET device having low specific on resistance is described. The device has N+, P-well and JFET regions extended in one direction (Y-direction) and P+ and source contacts extended in an orthogonal direction (X-direction). The polysilicon gate of the device covers the JFET region and is terminated over the P-well region to minimize electric field at the polysilicon gate edge. In use, current flows vertically from the drain contact at the bottom of the structure into the JFET region and then laterally in the X direction through the accumulation region and through the MOSFET channels into the adjacent N+ region. The current flowing out of the channel then flows along the N+ region in the Y-direction and is collected by the source contacts and the final metal. Methods of making the device are also described. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a method for accelerating protons and carbon ions up to 450 MeV/u in a very compact linac, the method comprising subjecting the particles to a radio frequency quadrupole field to accelerate the particles to at least 3 MeV/u, a drift tube linac (DTL) to an energy of 20 MeV/u, followed by a coupled DTL to 45 MeV/u and finally a high-gradient section made of CCL-type standing wave cavities or negative harmonic traveling wave cavities operating at S-band frequencies and capable of delivering voltage gradients of 40 to 60 MV/m. Focusing the accelerated particles while accelerated to higher energy is provided by appropriately placed constant field permanent magnets and electromagnetic quadrupoles. The compactness and power efficiency of the linac is enabled by using high-gradient structure in the S-band frequencies for lower energy particles than ever before. The low-intensity required for hadron therapy allows the use of small-aperture S-band structures and the operation at very high gradient compared to high-intensity machines for research. Operating with very short sub-microsecond pulses at repetition rates up to 400 Hz allows the fast and flexible beam energy and intensity tuning not provided by existing hadron therapy machines. The designed linac is capable of accelerating ions as heavy as neon to the full 450 MeV/u energy, therefore allowing fast beam switching if different ion sources are installed in the front-end of the linac. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods, and devices are provided that provide hybrid flow control for a simple hinged flap high-lift system using sweeping jet (SWJ) actuators for active flow control (AFC) and adaptive vortex generators (AVGs) that may be actuated by flap deflection for passive flow control (PFC). The various embodiments may significantly reduce mass flow, differential pressure, and power requirements for equivalent flow control performance when compared to using AFC only. The various embodiments may reduce the power requirement of AFC, while still maintaining the aerodynamic performance enhancement necessary for high-lift applications using a simple hinged flap. The various embodiments may provide the necessary lift enhancement for a simple hinged flap high-lift system, while keeping the pneumatic power requirement (mass flow and pressure) for the AFC within an aircraft's capability for system integration. |

| ABSTRACT | Communication systems are described that use signal constellations which have unequally spaced (i.e. “geometrically spaced,” or “non-uniform”) points. In many embodiments, the transmitters and receivers use specific non-uniform quadrature amplitude modulation (NU-QAM) constellations. In a variety of embodiments, NU-QAM constellations are capacity optimized using a bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM, also referred to as “parallel decode”) capacity measure. In a number of embodiments, the transmitters and receivers are described that use specific NU-QAM constellations that provide gains in BICM capacity relative to constellations that maximize the minimum distance between constellation points. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of predicting warps for image registration includes receiving warp data for a first band pair in an N-band system. The method includes fitting a warp model to the warp data to produce an offset profile for the first band pair, predicting a respective offset profile for at least one other band pair in the N-band system, and using the predicted respective offset profile to generate a warp for the at least one other band pair. The method also includes registering images of the at least one other band pair using the warp for the at least one other band pair. In another aspect, a method of predicting warps for image registration includes receiving warp data for m band pairs in an N-band system, wherein m≤(N−1) and m>2, to register images. |

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 23, 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:
https://wayfinder.digital/fedinvent/patents-2022/fedinvent-patents-20190723.html
Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
