| ABSTRACT | An excitation force (internal or external) and phase-sensitive optical coherence elastography (OCE) system, used in conjunction with a data analyzing algorithm, is capable of measuring and quantifying biomechanical parameters of tissues in situ and in vivo. The method was approbated and demonstrated on an example of the system that combines a pulsed ultrasound system capable of producing an acoustic radiation force on the crystalline lens surface and a phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for measuring the lens displacement caused by the acoustic radiation force. The method allows noninvasive and nondestructive quantification of tissue mechanical properties. The noninvasive measurement method also utilizes phase-stabilized swept source optical coherence elastography (PhS-SSOCE) to distinguish between tissue stiffness, such as that attributable to disease, and effects on measured stiffness that result from external factors, such as pressure applied to the tissue. Preferably, the method is used to detect tissue stiffness and to evaluate the presence of its stiffness even if it is affected by other factors such as intraocular pressure (IOP) in the case of cornea, sclera, or the lens. This noninvasive method can evaluate the biomechanical properties of the tissues in vivo for detecting the onset and progression of degenerative or other diseases (such as keratoconus). |

| ABSTRACT | System and methodology objectively capture clinical data on oral health and provide standardized scoring for quantifying oral health. The process of capturing clinical data is based on use of an intraoral camera with imaging software that has the capacity to capture digital images of all tooth surfaces. Digital plaque data are collected in a standardized manner per tooth, and with the ability to select optimal frames for analysis. Data are extracted per tooth into a software program. Color classification of each pixel is determined by the software program using an algorithm that makes use of red/green/blue color code combinations. These classifications are then quantitatively used within the software program and separate algorithms that automatically generate a range of oral health scoring techniques. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques and systems for non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography and venography (MRAV) are described. For example, within one cardiac cycle of a subject, a single shot acquisition of non-suppressed arterial MR signals and a single shot acquisition of non-suppressed venous MR signals are employed. Radio frequency (RF) saturation pulses may be applied to one or more slabs such that MR signals indicative of venous blood that flows into the arterial imaging slice are substantially suppressed and MR signals indicative of arterial blood that flows in the venous imaging slice are substantially suppressed. The RF saturation pulses and the single shot acquisitions may be timed such that one or more of the single shot acquisitions occur during substantially steady state inflow of blood into the respective imaging slice. In this manner, k-space data may be acquired from arterial specific and venous specific imaging slices occurring within a single cardiac cycle. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of altering the targeting and/or cellular uptake efficiency of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) viral vector having a capsid containing an AAV9 cell surface binding domain is described. The method involves modifying a clade F cell surface receptor which comprises a glycan having a terminal sialic acid residue and a penultimate β-galactose residue. The modification may involve retargeting the vector by temporarily functionally ablate AAV9 binding in a subset of cells, thereby redirecting the vector to another subset of cells. Alternatively, the modification may involve increasing cellular update efficiency by treating the cells with a neuraminidase to expose cell surface β-galactose. Also provided are compositions containing the AAV9 vector and a neuraminidase. Also provided is a method for purifying AAV9 using β-galactose linked to solid support. Also provided are mutant vectors which have been modified to alter their targeting specificity, including mutant AAV9 in which the galactose binding domain is mutated and AAV in which an AAV9 galactose binding domain is engineered. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and compositions modulate the activity of electrically excitable cells. Photovoltaic compounds which, upon exposure to light energy, increase or decrease the electrical activity of cells. These supplement and/or replace of vision based on the conversion of light energy to electrical energy within certain cells of the visual system. A “patch” or bridge to circumvent one or more defective, damaged, or diseased cells in the visual system. Additionally, in several embodiments, subjects with normal vision can benefit from the methods, compositions, systems, and/or devices disclosed herein as normal visual acuity can be heightened. The exposure induces an energy (e.g., a receipt of light energy, conversion to electrical energy, and passage of that electrical energy) from the photovoltaic compound to the cell, thereby altering the transmembrane potential of the cell and/or the opening of one or more ion channels, thereby modulating the activity of the electrically excitable cell. |

| ABSTRACT | We have developed a model system of HIV reservoirs in neural cells by generating chimeric phosphorothioate-modified oligodeoxynucleotides (sODN) that specifically interact with neural cell DNA or RNA, and that further comprise a sequence of the HIV genome. In particular, we have conjugated the chimera sODN to a delivery vehicle (e.g. a superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPIO)) and have demonstrated specific delivery to neural cells, in vitro and in vivo. These model systems can be used to screen for agents that specifically target latent viral infection. In particular, using the model system, we have developed suicide MRI contrast agents that can be used to reduce the number of neural cells which harbor the virus, also provided herein. Our model system is translatable to other latent viruses as well. |

| ABSTRACT | In electrically stimulating neural tissue it is important to prevent over stimulation and unbalanced stimulation which would cause damage to the neural tissue, the electrode, or both. It is critical that neural tissue is not subjected to any direct current or alternating current above a safe threshold. Further, it is important to identify defective electrodes as continued use may result in neural damage and further electrode damage. The present invention presents system and stimulator control mechanisms to prevent damage to neural tissue. |

| ABSTRACT | Aggregation is a major cause of the misbehavior of proteins. A system for modifying a protein to create a more stable variant is provided. The method involves identifying non-conserved hydrophobic amino acid residues on the surface of a protein, suitable for mutating to more hydrophilic residues (e.g., charged amino acids). Any number of residues on the surface may be changed to create a variant that is more soluble, resistant to aggregation, has a greater ability to re-fold, and/or is more stable under a variety of conditions.

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are knottin peptides containing non-natural amino acids so that they can be formed by chemical conjugation into two or more knottin monomers. The knottin monomers comprise a non-natural amino acid such as an aminooxy residue within the polypeptide sequence. The exemplified dimers were produced by oxime formation between two aldehyde groups present on a polyether linker and an aminooxy functional group that was site-specifically incorporated the knottin. Knottins variants based on EETI (Ecballium elaterium trypsin inhibitor) and AgRP (Agouti-related protein) were engineered to contain integrin-binding loops. These dimers were shown to have increased binding strength to integrins on U87MG tumor cells, achieving significant increases in inhibition of cell adhesion and proliferation. Also disclosed are knottin monomers comprising an aminooxy residue; these may be conjugated to molecules such as doxorubicin. |

| ABSTRACT | The present application generally relates to methods to prevent or treat bleeding and/or hypocoagulation in an individual in need thereof, and compositions for use in such methods. The methods comprise administration of FVa, preferably an APC resistant FVa (such as superFVa), alone or in combination with FVIIa, preferably rhFVIIa (such as NovoSeven® or another FVIIa having enhanced activity or half-life). When administered in combination, FVa and FVIIa elicit a synergistic benefit when used to treat or prevent bleeding or hypocoagulation in subjects in need thereof, e.g., subjects with a genetic disorder such as hemophilia or an acquired bleeding disorder or other condition associated with bleeding or hypocoagulation such as hemorrhagic stroke or shock, trauma, surgery or dysmenorrhea or individuals who produce inhibitory antibodies against procoagulants such as FVIII or FIX or who have been administered an overdose of an anticoagulant drug such as a direct Xa or direct thrombin inhibitor or a Novel Oral Anti-Coagulant (NOAC) or demonstrate unexplained bleeding. Also, the invention relates to the use of a superFVa alone or in combination with FVIIa or other procoagulant or prohemostatic agent to prevent, treat or reverse APC-associated bleeding, e.g., as the result of APC overproduction (such as through serious injury and/or hemorrhagic shock) or APC or other anticoagulant therapy, e.g., in the treatment of inflammatory disorders or sepsis disease. |

| ABSTRACT | According to particular exemplary aspects, DNA target site binding and cleavage properties of native, variant or modified homing endonucleases (HE) (e.g., LAGLIDAG (LHE), HNH, His-Cys Box, GIY-YIG, I-SspI-type, and fusions, muteins or variants thereof) in solution are recapitulated on the cell surface (e.g., as assessed by flow cytometric analysis) to provide for novel cells expressing one or more cell surface HEs (e.g., expressing one or more HE binding and/or cleavage specificities), novel cell libraries, and high-throughput methods for assessing target site binding, target site cleavage. The rapid analysis of HE and LHE-DNA interactions on the cell surface with concurrent sorting options provides for high-throughput library screening affording rapid identification, analysis and isolation of novel HEs or LHEs having novel sequence specificities. Such novel sequence specificities, obtained by said methods provide novel methods for introducing targeted DNA-strand cleavage events, and novel chromatin immunoprecipitation methods (CHIP methods). |

| ABSTRACT | A mass-spectrometry-based method and substrates are provided herein for large scale kinome activity profiling directly from crude lysates using 90 chemically synthesized peptide substrates with amino acid sequences derived from known phosphoproteins. Quantification of peptide phosphorylation rates was achieved via the use of stable isotope labeled synthetic peptides. A method and substrates for obtaining 90 simultaneous activity measurements in a single-reaction format were developed and validated. The kinome activity profiling strategy was successfully applied with lysates of: cells manipulated by combination of mitogen stimulation, pharmacological perturbation and siRNA-directed kinase knockdown; seven different breast cancer cell lines treated with gefitinib; and each of normal and cancerous tissue samples from renal cell carcinoma patients. This method concurrently measures multiple peptide phosphorylation rates to provide a diagnostic fingerprint pattern for activated kinases, protein phosphatases, modulators of these enzymes, and pathways (kinome) from as little starting material as a few cells. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are: (i) methods for identifying leukemia patients who (or leukemia cells that) do not exhibit an MLL-translocation, rearrangement or MLL-partial tandem duplication but who are nonetheless susceptible to treatment with DOT1L inhibitors; and (ii) methods for treating leukemia patients who (or inhibiting proliferation or inducing apoptosis of leukemia cells that) do not exhibit an MLL-translocation, rearrangement or MLL-partial tandem duplication with DOT1L inhibitors. The patients identified as susceptible and the patients (or cells) treated exhibit elevated expression of a HOX cluster gene or of a HOX cluster-associated gene. Elevated expression of such genes can be measured, e.g., by quantitating the relevant RNA and comparing it to that of a healthy individual (or cell) or to a predetermined standard or it can be inferred by determining whether the patient or cell possesses a mutation that is associated with elevated HOX cluster gene or HOX cluster associated gene expression and thereby inferring that the relevant expression with be elevated. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for estimating the actual k-space trajectory implemented when acquiring data with a magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) system while jointly reconstructing an image from that acquired data are described. An objective function that accounts for deviations between the actual k-space trajectory and a designed k-space trajectory while also accounting for the target image is optimized. To reduce the computational burden of the optimization, a reduced model for the parameters associated with the k-space trajectory deviation and the target image can be implemented. |

| ABSTRACT | A beam-scanning optical design is described for achieving up to kHz frame-rate optical imaging on multiple simultaneous data acquisition channels. In one embodiment, two fast-scan resonant mirrors direct the optical beam on a circuitous trajectory through the field of view, with the trajectory repeat-time given by the least common multiplier of the mirror periods. Dicing the raw time-domain data into sub-trajectories combined with model-based image reconstruction (MBIR) 3D in-painting algorithms allows for effective frame-rates much higher than the repeat time of the Lissajous trajectory. Because sub-trajectory and full-trajectory imaging are different methods of analyzing the same data, both high-frame rate images with relatively low resolution and low frame rate images with high resolution are simultaneously acquired. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to a computer application for analyzing handwriting. The handwriting is digitized by being captured by a computing device such as a tablet. The application analyzes four components of the digitized handwriting. The initial component provides real-time writing speed feedback to the subject. The second fully automated component computes a variety of kinematic measures based on periods of time when the subject is writing versus the pen being off the tablet. A third component is able to concatenate pen strokes into user defined characters and assesses character and/or word spacing based on preset distances. For the fourth component, a 2-dimensional version of the large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM) method is used to compare each character to a template character. Together, these components can be used to assess handwriting for a broad range of applications. |

A difference image between the two images are generated. By subjecting the difference image and the second image to a localized kernel, a local similarity image is generated. Using the local similarity image, an improved difference image is generated. Lastly, by subtracting the improved difference image from the first image, an enhanced medical image that retains the functional information reflecting physiological functions of the subject is generated. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally relates to sub-diffraction limit image resolution and other imaging techniques, including imaging in three dimensions. In one aspect, the invention is directed to determining and/or imaging light from two or more entities separated by a distance less than the diffraction limit of the incident light. For example, the entities may be separated by a distance of less than about 1000 nm, or less than about 300 nm for visible light. In some cases, the position of the entities can be determined in all three spatial dimensions (i.e., in the x, y, and z directions), and in certain cases, the positions in all three dimensions can be determined to an accuracy of less than about 1000 nm. In one set of embodiments, the entities may be selectively activatable, i.e., one entity can be activated to produce light, without activating other entities. A first entity may be activated and determined (e.g., by determining light emitted by the entity), then a second entity may be activated and determined. The emitted light may be used to determine the x and y positions of the first and second entities, for example, by determining the positions of the images of these entities, and in some cases, with sub-diffraction limit resolution. In some cases, the z positions may be determined using one of a variety of techniques that uses intensity information or focal information (e.g., a lack of focus) to determine the z position. Non-limiting examples of such techniques include astigmatism imaging, off-focus imaging, or multi-focal-plane imaging. Other aspects of the invention relate to systems for sub-diffraction limit image resolution, computer programs and techniques for sub-diffraction limit image resolution, methods for promoting sub-diffraction limit image resolution, and the like. |

| ABSTRACT | An excitation force (internal or external) and phase-sensitive optical coherence elastography (OCE) system, used in conjunction with a data analyzing algorithm, is capable of measuring and quantifying biomechanical parameters of tissues in situ and in vivo. The method was approbated and demonstrated on an example of the system that combines a pulsed ultrasound system capable of producing an acoustic radiation force on the crystalline lens surface and a phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for measuring the lens displacement caused by the acoustic radiation force. The method allows noninvasive and nondestructive quantification of tissue mechanical properties. The noninvasive measurement method also utilizes phase-stabilized swept source optical coherence elastography (PhS-SSOCE) to distinguish between tissue stiffness, such as that attributable to disease, and effects on measured stiffness that result from external factors, such as pressure applied to the tissue. Preferably, the method is used to detect tissue stiffness and to evaluate the presence of its stiffness even if it is affected by other factors such as intraocular pressure (IOP) in the case of cornea, sclera, or the lens. This noninvasive method can evaluate the biomechanical properties of the tissues in vivo for detecting the onset and progression of degenerative or other diseases (such as keratoconus). |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system involves vacuum sealing a semi-enclosure at room temperature without requiring mechanical actions within the vacuum chamber. The semi-enclosure has an inlet channel that extends inwardly into the vacuum chamber from an exterior opening (entryway) into the semi-enclosure. An uncured entryway vacuum sealant is provided at the entryway for the semi-enclosure. A vacuum is established in the vacuum chamber until the vacuum pressure reaches a desired vacuum pressure that causes the uncured entryway sealant to be provided to the entryway for the semi-enclosure. The uncured entryway vacuum sealant is cured under vacuum pressure in the semi-enclosure in the vacuum chamber. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided here is a method for providing a coating on a plurality of substrate particles utilizing concurrent dissolution and deposition processes occurring among a plurality of source particles. Both the plurality of source particles and the plurality of substrate particles are freely immersed in the aqueous solution to form a slurry. A pH of the aqueous solution the electrochemical potential between the plurality of source particles and the aqueous solution establishes the source particles at a corrosion potential providing the concurrent dissolution and re-deposition of a cationic species on the source particles. Agitation of the slurry generates close proximity and/or brief contact between source and substrate particles causing substrate particles pass through the local environment of the source particles, resulting in some portion of the cationic species depositing at nucleation sites on the substrate particles. |

| ABSTRACT | A non-lethal projectile comprises a carrier with a deployable payload to allow for effective performance at both long and short ranges. The non-lethal projectile is fired from a launcher. At a predetermined range, the carrier opens thereby deploying the payload. The payload may further comprise a drogue chute to reduce the kinetic energy of the payload to a non-lethal level. Alternatively, the inherent drag coefficient of the payload may enable sufficient reduction of kinetic energy without the need for a drogue chute. The deployed petals of the carrier serve as drag surfaces for the carrier, thereby reducing the kinetic energy of the carrier to a non-lethal level. |

| ABSTRACT | A missile is provided with a motor section that is separated from a guidance and control section by a roller bearing section. A shaft connected to the motor section extends through the roller bearing section and connects to a gear unit that drives a shaft connected to an electrical generator. As the missile moves in flight, vanes on the motor section catch air flow which causes the motor section to rotate. The kinetic energy of the motor section is then converted into electrical energy by the gear unit and electrical generator. A flight computer, a sensor and electro-mechanical actuators are supplied electrical energy from a voltage regulator connected to the electrical generator. The electro-mechanical actuators are connected to corresponding control fins which control the flight path of the missile. |

| ABSTRACT | A projectile which can be used to defeat an unmanned aerial system. The projectile features sabots which do not impart any forward impedance to the sub-projectiles, and carries a payload of stacked rings enclosed in the projectile. The rings are backed by a support ring, and abut a pusher aft section. The projectile's sabots discard cleanly upon muzzle exit, releasing the ring sub-projectiles to cover a large area, thereby increasing the probability of impacting the target. The rings create large holes in the target, despite comparatively low mass of a given ring as a defeat element, allowing for multiple sub-projectiles to be fired with a single shot, thereby creating the effect of firing multiple projectiles with a single shot. |

| ABSTRACT | Apparatus and methods for fluorescence imaging using radiofrequency multiplexed excitation. One apparatus splits an excitation laser beam into two arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The light in the first beam is frequency shifted by an acousto-optic deflector, which is driven by a phase-engineered radiofrequency comb designed to minimize peak-to-average power ratio. This RF comb generates multiple deflected optical beams possessing a range of output angles and frequency shifts. The second beam is shifted in frequency using an acousto-optic frequency shifter. After combining at a second beam splitter, the two beams are focused to a line on the sample using a conventional laser scanning microscope lens system. The acousto-optic deflectors frequency-encode the simultaneous excitation of an entire row of pixels, which enables detection and de-multiplexing of fluorescence images using a single photomultiplier tube and digital phase-coherent signal recovery techniques. |

| ABSTRACT | In a method for determining orientation of an object, raw image data of the sky is recorded using a sky polarimeter. One or more of Stokes parameters (S0, S1, S2), degree of linear polarization (DoLP), and angle of polarization (AoP) are calculated from the image data to produce a set of processed images. Last known position and time data of the object are obtained, and a known Sun azimuth and elevation are calculated using the last known position and time data. Roll and pitch of the object are found, and the roll and pitch data are used to find a zenith in the processed images. The yaw/heading of the object is determined using the difference between a polarization angle at the zenith and a calculated Sun azimuth. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for displaying off-screen target indicators in motion video comprising the steps of receiving motion video containing a series of individual video frames, selecting a target object within a selected video frame by choosing selected target object pixel space coordinates, and determining whether the selected target object pixel space coordinates are within the selected video frame. Upon determining that the selected target object pixel space coordinates are within the selected video frame, the method updates a dynamical system model with the target object geographical coordinates, longitudinal target object speed, and latitudinal target object speed. Upon determining that the selected target object pixel space coordinates are not within the selected video frame, the method calculates estimated target object geographical coordinates at time t using the dynamical system model. The method then calculates final values in the video field of view at which to draw a target indicator. |

| ABSTRACT | A finite impulse response (FIR) filter that implements a shifting coefficients architecture is provided. A shifting coefficients architecture can allow for the data samples being processed by the FIR filter by shifting the coefficients rather than the data. In one or more examples, the shifting coefficients architecture includes one or more delay tap lines that store data samples, and one or more shift registers that store coefficients. At every clock cycle, only the oldest data sample stored in the delay tap lines is updated with a new sample, while the other data samples remain static. Concurrently, each coefficient can be shifted by one register. Then each coefficient can be multiplied with a corresponding data sample, and the results can be aggregated to generate an FIR filter output. |

| ABSTRACT | A system includes a transmitter with multiple transmit devices each having an OAM multiplexer that converts multiple input signals into an OAM beam. Each transmit device outputs a coaxial group of orthogonal OAM beams. The system also includes a receiver that has multiple receive devices each having an OAM demultiplexer that receives the group of OAM beams from a corresponding transmit device. The OAM demultiplexer also converts the coaxial group of mutually orthogonal OAM beams into a plurality of received signals corresponding to input signals represented by the OAM beams. The receiver also includes a MIMO processor that has an equalizer that determines a transfer function corresponding to crosstalk of each of the plurality of received signals. The MIMO processor also reduces the crosstalk of each of the plurality of received signals based on the transfer function and updates the transfer function. |

| ABSTRACT | The tris(trimethylsilyl)silanol (H-SST) ligand can be reacted with a Group 4 or 5 metal alkoxides in a solvent to form an SST-modified metal alkoxide precursor. Exemplary Group 4 precursors include [Ti(SST)2(OR)2] (OR=OPri, OBut, ONep); [Ti(SST)3(OBun)]; [Zr(SST)2(OBut)2(py)]; [Zr(SST)3(OR)] (OR=OBut, ONep); [Hf(SST)2(OBut)2]; and [Hf(SST)2(ONep)2(py)n] (n=1, 2), where OPri=OCH(CH3)2, OBut=OC(CH3)3, OBun=O(CH2)3CH3, ONep=OCH2C(CH3)3, and py=pyridine. Exemplary Group 5 precursors include [V(SST)3(py)2]; [Nb(SST)3(OEt)2]; [Nb(O)(SST)3(py)]; 2[H][(Nb(μ-O)2(SST))6(μ6-O)]; [Nb8O10(OEt)18(SST)2.⅕Na2O]; [Ta(SST)(μ-OEt)(OEt)3]2; and [Ta(SST)3(OEt)2]; where OEt=OCH2CH3. When thermally processed, the precursors can form unusual core-shell nanoparticles. For example, HfO2/SiO2 core/shell nanoparticles have demonstrated resistance to damage in extreme irradiation and thermal environments. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of producing carbon fibers includes the step of providing polyacrylonitrile precursor polymer fiber filaments. The polyacrylonitrile precursor filaments include from 87-97 mole % acrylonitrile, and less than 0.5 mole % of accelerant functional groups. The filaments are no more than 3 deniers per filament. The polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber filaments can be arranged into tows of at least 150,000 deniers per inch width. The arranged polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber tows are stabilized by heating the tows in at least one oxidation zone containing oxygen gas and maintained at a first temperature T1 while stretching the tows at least 10% to yield a stabilized precursor fiber tow. The stabilized precursor fiber tows are carbonized by passing the stabilized precursor fiber tows through a carbonization zone. Carbon fibers produced by the process are also disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | A device for creating an optic pulse with different wavelengths separated by time. A pump laser is configured to output energy to a dye cell which, responsive to the energy, outputs an optic pulse. Mirrors direct the optic pulse away from the dye cell towards a spectrograph. The spectrograph has an input and two or more outputs. The spectrograph receives and converts the optic pulse to a wavelength separated optic signal presented on the two or more outputs. A first optic cable has an input end and an output end. The input end receives a first output from the spectrograph. A second optic cable has an input end and an output end. The input end receives a second output from the spectrograph. The second optic cable is a different length than the first optic cable to establish a time shift between the signals exiting the first and second cable. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to a method for imaging an optical signal received by a graded index (GRIN) optical element to account for known variations in a graded index distribution of the GRIN optical element. The method may involve using a plurality of optical detector elements to receive optical rays received by the GRIN optical element at a plane, where the plane forms a part of the GRIN optical element or is downstream of the GRIN optical element relative to a direction of propagation of the optical rays. The optical rays are then traced to a plurality of additional specific locations on the plane based on the known variations in the graded index distribution of the GRIN optical element. A processor may be used to determine information on both an intensity and an angle of the received optical rays at each one of the plurality of specific locations on the plane of the GRIN optical element. |

| ABSTRACT | A processing system monitors and/or controls a surface modification process occurring on a substrate within a processing chamber. An optical processing module having a light emission submodule to output a generated light signal and an optical detection submodule to detect a resultant light signal, is connected via fiber optic cables to light illuminating and light receiving components located within the chamber. A processor determines an amount of atomic absorption by an atomic element encountered by a probing beam passing between the illuminating and receiving components, based on the intensity of the generated light signal, the intensity of the received light signal and optionally the spontaneous emission of the atomic element in the absence of illumination by a probing beam. Based on the determined amount, the system derives a plurality of parameters of the modified substrate, their spatial and temporal uniformity, and information about process conditions in the processing chamber. |

| ABSTRACT | A system is provided to automatically monitor and control the operation of a microfluidic device using machine learning technology. The system receives images of a channel of a microfluidic device collected by a camera during operation of the microfluidic device. Upon receiving an image, the system applies a classifier to the image to classify the operation of the microfluidic device as normal, in which no adjustment to the operation is needed, or as abnormal, in which an adjustment to the operation is needed. When an image is classified as normal, the system may make no adjustment to the microfluidic device. If, however, an image is classified as abnormal, the system may output an indication that the operation is abnormal, output an indication of a needed adjustment, or control the microfluidic device to make the needed adjustment. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are various technologies for metrics-based assessment and trust verification of netlists for hardware logic devices (e.g., ASICs, FPGAs, etc.). A computing system translates a netlist of a hardware logic device into a Boolean network. The computing system generates and assigns metrics to edges of the Boolean network. The metrics comprise a coverage metric, a rare trigger metric, and an influence metric. Based upon the metrics, the computing system assigns the nodes in the Boolean network criticality values. The computing system determines a likelihood of a vulnerability in the netlist based upon the criticality values. The computing can output an indication as to whether the netlist is trusted based upon the determined likelihood of a vulnerability in the netlist. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to a versatile and high performance zwitterionic CP platform, which integrates all desired functions into one material. This zwitterionic CP consists of the conducting backbone and multifunctional zwitterionic side chains. Non-conducting zwitterionic materials gain electronic conductivity through the conducting backbone and CPs obtain excellent biocompatibility, sensitivity to environmental stimuli and controllable antifouling properties via multifunctional zwitterionic side chains. Unique properties from two distinct materials (conducting materials and zwitterionic materials) are integrated into one material without sacrificing any properties. This platform can potentially be adapted for a range of applications (e.g. bioelectronics, tissue engineering, wound healing, robotic prostheses, biofuel cell, etc.), which all require high performance conducting materials with excellent antifouling/biocompatibility at complex biointerfaces. This conducting material platform will significantly advance the development of conducting polymers in the field of biomedicine and biotechnology. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects of enhanced nanoscale gas chromatography are described. In one embodiment, a nano-scale gas chromatography (GC) module includes a light source, a light detector, and a sensor module having vertically-integrated photonic crystal slab (PCS) Fano resonance filter and GC channel layers. The PCS Fano resonance filter layer includes a hole lattice region, and the GC channel layer comprises a gas channel for separation of analytes in a gas mixture. The gas channel includes a coiled section and an extended length section, where the extended length section extends through a region in the GC channel layer that is stacked in proximity with the hole lattice region. The hole lattice region in the PCS Fano resonance filter layer provides local field enhancement of light generated by the light source for increased light-matter interaction with the analytes in the gas channel. |

| ABSTRACT | A porous base substrate is infiltrated with a polymer material to form a hybrid substrate that combines the optical advantages of both. Prior to infiltration, the base substrate may exhibit relatively low optical transmittance. For example, the base substrate may be paper, textiles, aerogels, natural wood, or any other porous material. By infiltrating the base substrate with a polymer having a similar refractive index to that of the material of the base substrate, the transmittance can thus be improved, resulting in, for example, a transparent hybrid substrate that exhibits both relatively high optical haze and relatively high optical transmittance within the visible light spectrum. The hybrid substrate can thus serve as a base for fabricating electronic devices or can be coupled to electronic devices, especially optical devices that can take utilize the unique optical properties of the hybrid substrate. |

| ABSTRACT | A portable CAVE automatic virtual environment system. The system uses a light weight collapsible frame with an overhead beam that is raised and lowered via a winch and cable. Ultra-short throw projectors are attached to the overhead beam at its lowest position and are raised to their functional position where they are automatically configured to aim at one of the included screens. The projectors display imagery on the screens that form a space around the user. The system auto-calibrates to align the projected imagery to the screens to form a seamless display across all screens. The invention significantly decreases the time and labor to set up and calibrate a CAVE system and collapses into folded parts for easy transport and storage. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for determining a shear property of a sample includes supporting a sample at three or more separate support locations about a periphery of a first surface of the sample in a testing fixture, the sample including a second surface separated from the first surface by a thickness, wherein the sample is axisymmetric about an axis that is orthogonal to the first surface. The method includes applying a load on the second surface of the sample with a load applicator in a direction substantially parallel with the axis, measuring, with a controller, shear testing data of the sample in response to applying the load, and determining, with the controller, a shear property of the sample from the measured shear testing data. |

| ABSTRACT | A rigid-flex assembly (RFA) includes a circuit board attachable to a focal plane sensor. The RFA includes a flexible wiring section electrically coupled at opposing ends to the circuit board and to an edge connector. The flexible wiring section has a controlled separation distance or volume or vacuum gap between wiring strips for reduction of dielectric electrical loss and electrical cross talk. The flexible section has wires or traces configured to reduce the amount of copper used while optimizing signal integrity. Rigid substrates electrically couple the flexible wiring section to the connector. The RFA uses an end-launch, in-plane connection to the sensor for improved performance. A sensor module includes a housing and a sensor. An RFA is coupled to the sensor for high-speed data transfer and that optimizes signal integrity while providing thermal isolation via the flexible section. |

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, September 10, 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:
