| ABSTRACT | Linear movement of a heel strike sequence for a shoe insole can be converted into rotational movement. This rotational movement can cause rotation of an interior of a generator. Rotation of this interior of the generator can cause an electricity to be generated and outputted. The generator can be considered a source of damping, so at the start of the heel strike sequence the generator can be non-engaged. After some time, the generator can be engaged and in turn rotate. This can allow for standing inertia to be more quickly overcome. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to a brain dysfunction and seizure detector monitor and system, and a method of detecting brain dysfunction and/or seizure of a subject. Preferably, the present invention also includes one or more seizure detection algorithms. The analysis method is specifically optimized to amplify abnormal brain activity and minimize normal background activity yielding a seizure index directly related to the current presence of ictal activity in the signal. Additionally, a seizure probability index based on historical values of the aforementioned seizure index, is derived for diagnostic purposes. The seizure probability index quantifies the probability that the patient has exhibited abnormal brain activity since the beginning of the recording. These indexes can be used in the context of emergency and/or clinical situations to assess the status and well-being of a patient's brain, or can be used to automatically administer treatment to stop the seizure before clinical signs appear. |

| ABSTRACT | Orthopedic and dental implants coated with an antibacterial coating and methods of making and using, are described herein. The implant can be coated with a hydrophobic, polycationic antibacterial polymer. The polymer can be covalently or non-covalently associated with the surface; however, in particular embodiments, the polymer is non-covalently associated with the surface. As shown in the examples below, clinical observations, digital radiography, and a battery of well-accepted ex vivo analytical methods show that the presence of a hydrophobic polycationic polymer coating, such as N,N-dodecyl,methyl-PEI coating on the surface of a metal implant, was effective in eliminating the clinical signs of infection in vivo in a large animal infection model. Moreover, the coated plates supported bone healing, and in fact decreased healing times, even in the presence of significant bacterial contamination compared to a control. |

| ABSTRACT | An aft pivot assembly can include a mount device securable to an aft portion of a payload of an aircraft for facilitating release of the payload. The aft pivot assembly can include a shaft operable with the mount device and a release component, the shaft being rotatable about multiple shaft axes relative to the mount device so as to either minimize or eliminate carriage loads about the aft portion, while reacting jettison loads during a jettison event or phase. The rotation of the shaft about its shaft axes can further be limited via a limit device. As the payload transitions from a carriage phase to a jettison phase, the shaft moves in multiple degrees of freedom and in multiple axes relative to the mount device. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally concerns decomposing a ternary metal hydride to isolate nanoparticles to use in a fuel grain. More specifically, the present invention harnesses increased energy densities from two distinct nanoparticles isolated by a precise decomposition of LiAlH4. The singular material is air stable and is a nanocomposite of Li3AlH6 nanoparticles, elemental Al nanoparticles, an amount of Ti metal, and a nanoscale organic layer. We call this nanocomposite nMx, which protects and preserves the high energy densities of the core metals isolated from the controlled reaction, making the nanoparticles safe to handle in air. The narrow distribution of nanoparticles has no byproducts or phase transitions that decrease energy output. The unique burning characteristics of nMx enhance the combustion of solid propellant formulations compatible with solid or hybrid rocket motors, where fuel grains are cast, pressed, or 3D printed with nMx powder, a polymeric binder, or optional additives. |

| ABSTRACT | A process for joining dissimilar materials. The process includes providing a first component made from a first material and a second component made from a second material. The process also includes cold spraying a bead of the second material onto the first component and joining the second component to the bead on the first component such that a weldment is formed from the first component and the second component. In some instances, joining of the second component to the bead on the first component is performed by fusion welding the bead and the second component together. |

| ABSTRACT | An alignment tie rod device for connecting multiple components from generally opposite directions includes a shaft extending along a centerline. A first structure of the device includes opposing first and second rims and a base portion spanning between the rims. The base portion and rims define a channel that extends substantially normal to the centerline. A hole in the base portion is centered between the rims and communicates through the base portion for receipt of the shaft. An anti-rotation feature disposed operably within the channel is rigidly engaged to and projects radially outward from the shaft in diametrically opposed direction. The feature has diametrically opposite, arcuate, edges each having a radius of curvature that is substantially greater than a distance measured between the rims. |

| ABSTRACT | A launcher for launching a projectile includes a launch piston for engaging and driving the projectile from the launcher and a launch brake that constrains the piston to enable separation of the piston from the projectile. The launch brake is configured to have minimal to no effect on projectile exit velocity and exit trajectory from the launcher. The launch brake is also configured to reduce the velocity of the launch piston via coupling of the masses of the launch piston and the launch brake. The coupling allows, separation of the projectile from the launch piston and reduces or prevents a negative effect on stabilization of the projectile upon exit from the launcher. |

| ABSTRACT | The accelerometers disclosed herein provide excellent sensitivity, long-term stability, and low SWaP-C through a combination of photonic integrated circuit technology with standard micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Examples of these accelerometers use optical transduction to improve the scale factor of traditional MEMS resonant accelerometers by accurately measuring the resonant frequencies of very small (e.g., about 1 μm) tethers attached to a large (e.g., about 1 mm) proof mass. Some examples use ring resonators to measure the tether frequencies and some other examples use linear resonators to measure the tether frequencies. Potential commercial applications span a wide range from seismic measurement systems to automotive stability controls to inertial guidance to any other application where chip-scale accelerometers are currently deployed. |

| ABSTRACT | A photonic design automation (PDA) tool to facilitate design of semiconductor photonic devices is described. In one example, the PDA tool includes a process design library including one or more photonics parameterized cells (pCells), a plurality of processor-executable photonics design functions including a design rule check (DRC) violation removal function, and a semiconductor technology-dependent parameter file including a plurality of design rules that define allowed semiconductor design patterns to be converted to a plurality of semiconductor fabrication mask designs in a first semiconductor technology. The PDA tool supports a graphical user interface (GUI) to provide access to the library of photonic pCells to create intuitive physical property layers for a photonic device, and processes the physical property layers using the DRC violation removal function and the design rules to automatically generate a plurality of mask design layers for a “DRC clean” physical layout of the photonics device. |

| ABSTRACT | Sensory processing of visual, auditory, and other sensor information (e.g., visual imagery, LIDAR, RADAR) is conventionally based on “stovepiped,” or isolated processing, with little interactions between modules. Biological systems, on the other hand, fuse multi-sensory information to identify nearby objects of interest more quickly, more efficiently, and with higher signal-to-noise ratios. Similarly, examples of the OpenSense technology disclosed herein use neurally inspired processing to identify and locate objects in a robot's environment. This enables the robot to navigate its environment more quickly and with lower computational and power requirements. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for detecting salient objects in images. During operation, the system maps an input image into a frequency domain having a spectral magnitude. The spectral magnitude is replaced with weights from a weight matrix W. The frequency domain is then transformed with the weights to a saliency map in the image domain, the saliency map having pixels with pixel values. A squaring operation is then performed on the saliency map by squaring the pixel values to generate a pixel-value altered saliency map. A final saliency map is generated by filtering the pixel-value altered saliency map. A number of devices may then be operated based on the saliency map. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for improving the training of machine learning systems to recognize certain objects within a given image by supplementing an existing sparse set of real-world training images with a comparatively dense set of realistic training images. Embodiments may create such a dense set of realistic training images by training a machine learning translator with a convolutional autoencoder to translate a dense set of synthetic images of an object into more realistic training images. Embodiments may also create a dense set of realistic training images by training a generative adversarial network (“GAN”) to create realistic training images from a combination of the existing sparse set of real-world training images and either Gaussian noise, translated images, or synthetic images. The created dense set of realistic training images may then be used to more effectively train a machine learning object recognizer to recognize a target object in a newly presented digital image. |

| ABSTRACT | Superconducting nanowire avalanche photodetectors (SNAPs) have using meandering nanowires to detect incident photons. When a superconducting nanowire absorbs a photon, it switches from a superconducting state to a resistive state, producing a change in voltage that can be measured across the nanowire. A SNAP may include multiple nanowires in order to increase the fill factor of the SNAP's active area and the SNAP's detection efficiency. But using multiple meandering nanowires to achieve high fill-factor in SNAPs can lead to current crowding at bends in the nanowires. This current crowding degrades SNAP performance by decreasing the switching current, which the current at which the nanowire transitions from a superconducting state to a resistive state. Fortunately, staggering the bends in the nanowires reduces current crowding, increasing the nanowire switching current, which in turn increases the SNAP dynamic range. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and method are provided for controlling the age of information, or information freshness, for remote status updating through the use of a packet deadline. In an embodiment, a packet deadline determines how long a packet is allowed to wait in a queue at the source before being transmitted, and, if the deadline expires, it is dropped from the system and never transmitted. This mechanism can control the flow of packets into the system, which can be used to control and optimize the age of information, thus providing a fresh status at a monitor. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus and method that utilizes thermal dilution to detect a wide range of flow rates and/or flow status in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt systems. The use of a large cold source in combination with thermosensor pad of a particular construction provide a fluid flow analyzer with the ability to detect very low levels of CSF flow. In addition, a method for adjusting thermal dilution readings to compensate for varying shunt catheter depth is shown and for determining a steady state of the thermal dilution readings. The thermosensor pad is conformable to a patient's skin contour thereby making the apparatus and method less sensitive to ambient temperature errors and, as a result, more accurate in assessing CSF flow. Furthermore, a software error check is provided for identifying poor sensor-to-skin contact for alerting an operator to re-apply the thermosensor pad to correct, as well as a post-test check to determine if temperature data is reasonable before determining flow status or flow rate. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to a brain dysfunction and seizure detector monitor and system, and a method of detecting brain dysfunction and/or seizure of a subject. Preferably, the present invention also includes one or more seizure detection algorithms. The analysis method is specifically optimized to amplify abnormal brain activity and minimize normal background activity yielding a seizure index directly related to the current presence of ictal activity in the signal. Additionally, a seizure probability index based on historical values of the aforementioned seizure index, is derived for diagnostic purposes. The seizure probability index quantifies the probability that the patient has exhibited abnormal brain activity since the beginning of the recording. These indexes can be used in the context of emergency and/or clinical situations to assess the status and well-being of a patient's brain, or can be used to automatically administer treatment to stop the seizure before clinical signs appear. |

| ABSTRACT | A rotatable wrist connecting a gripper tool to the distal end of a positioning shaft. The rotatable wrist includes a wrist hub that is non-rotatably connected to the distal end of the shaft. A wrist capstan is rotatably connected to the wrist hub and non-rotatably connected to an actuatable device (e.g., a gripper). A flexible wire loop extends through the wrist hub and partially contacts the wrist capstan. Linear movement of the flexible wire loop through the shaft causes rotation of the wrist capstan due to friction between the flexible wire loop and the wrist capstan. The wrist also supports selective detachability and control of roll, pitch and roll, pitch yaw and roll according to different embodiments. |

| ABSTRACT | We describe a bis-benzylidine piperidone, RA190, which covalently binds to the ubiquitin receptor RPN13 (ADRM1) in the 19S regulatory particle and inhibits proteasome function, triggering rapid accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins. Multiple myeloma lines, even those resistant to bortezomib, were sensitive to RA190 via ER stress-related apoptosis. RA190 stabilized targets of human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 oncoprotein, and preferentially killed HPV-transformed cells. After p.o. or i.p. dosing of mice, RA190 distributed to plasma and major organs excepting brain, and potently inhibited proteasome function in skin and muscle. RA190 administration i.p. profoundly reduced growth of multiple myeloma and ovarian cancer xenografts, and oral RA190 treatment retarded HPV+ syngeneic mouse tumor growth, without impacting spontaneous HPV-specific CD8+ T cell responses, suggesting its therapeutic potential. The bis-benzylidine piperidone RA190 is a new orally-available proteasome inhibitor. Multiple myeloma, cervical and ovarian cancers are particularly sensitive to RA190. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is drawn to compositions and methods to enhance an immune response in order to prevent or treat infections or hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer. More particularly, the composition is an immunostimulatory intracellular signaling peptide fused directly or indirectly to a peptide that leads to multimerization into complexes of three or more units, where the intracellular signaling peptide must be present in a complex of three or more units in order to stimulate an immune response. Inserting this fusion construct into viruses like HIV-1 or introducing it into dendritic cells or tumor cells is predicted to lead to a positive therapeutic effect in humans, non-human mammals, birds, and fish. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques, systems and apparatus are described for magnetic resonance imaging by modifying the shape/thickness of an excitation/inversion slab. For instance, the inversion slab can be shaped as a wedge to improve temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR) of arterial spin labeling (ASL) experiments by matching the temporal bolus width with the inter-pulse spacing in different feeding arteries. The shape/thickness of the excitation/inversion slab across the X-Y plane can be modified by modulating the movement of the “on-resonance” plane in space by the combination of conventional slice-selective (SS) adiabatic fast passage (AFP) and additional in-plane gradient pulses. Using this method, a computer can generate different shapes of the excitation/inversion slab. |

| ABSTRACT | A process for forming a sheet metal component. The process includes rigidly clamping a piece of sheet metal to a clamping fixture and plastically deforming the sheet metal to produce a shaped component during a first manufacturing step. The shaped component has a first amount of springback. During a second manufacturing step, a pair of electrodes applies one or more pulses of electrical current at one or more locations on the shaped component while the shaped component is still rigidly clamped to the clamping fixture during. The one or more pulses of electrical current applied to the shaped component provide an electrically-assisted manufactured (EAM) shaped component. The EAM shaped component has a second amount of springback that is less than the first amount of springback. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a green chemistry, aqueous method to synthesize gold nanoparticles directly from bulk gold sources. The method involves the ultrasonication of bulk gold in water in the presence of an alkythiol species and a quaternary ammonium surfactant. An organic bilayer forms on the surface of the gold which renders it susceptible to material ejection from the violent collapse of cavitation bubbles. This ejected material is stabilized in solution by the formation of an organic bilayer and can be easily separated. It can then be subjected to an aqueous digestive ripening step to give a gold nanoparticle ensemble with a well-defined plasmon resonance. This method is applicable to a number of different sources of bulk gold. The method can be applied to an environmentally important problem; the recovery of gold from electronic waste streams. For example, gold nanoparticles can be extracted directly from the surface of SIM cards, with no prior manipulation of the cards necessary. |

| ABSTRACT | In the additive manufacturing process, a monitored or controlled mixture of materials is deposited to form an additive manufactured product by delivering the mixture of materials through a material flow path while using an excitation source to introduce electromagnetic energy into the material flow path using a circuit element having inductive or capacitive reactance disposed adjacent the material ejecting orifice. The excitation source produces an electromagnetic field condition within the material flow path that is responsive to at least one of the permeability and permittivity properties of a space within the material flow path. A sensing means coupled electrically or magnetically to the excitation means is responsive to the electromagnetic field condition and provides at least one control parameter based on the electromagnetic field condition that may be used to control the composition of the mixture of materials by adjusting proportions of constituent materials. |

| ABSTRACT | A pressure sensor and a method of measuring pressure with the pressure sensor, based on measuring the effect of pressure loads on the acoustic resonance mode frequencies of a spherical core (e.g., a hollow sphere). The pressure sensor includes a transmitter configured to transmit vibrational signals to a sphere, and a receiver on the opposite side of the spherical core that is configured to receive vibrational signals from the spherical core. According to the method of measuring pressure with this sensor, the spherical core exhibits a pressure-dependent resonance response that can be monitored utilizing a frequency response technique. Peak shifts observed under an unknown pressure load can be compared to a calibration of the spherical core under a series of known pressure loads to thereby determine the unknown pressure. The pressure sensor and method may be operated in real-time at very high temperatures and pressure, and may be used in borehole applications and in aggressive media. |

| ABSTRACT | A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) includes a semiconductor substrate with a main bus waveguide disposed within the substrate. Two or more ring lasers are disposed within the substrate and are optically coupled to the main bus waveguide. The ring lasers have a wavelength control mechanism allowing change of a lasers emitted wavelength. A wavelength selective filter is optically coupled to the bus waveguide. A control circuit is electronically coupled to each wavelength control mechanism, and the wavelength selective filter. The control circuit in conjunction with the selective filter allows monitoring of a ring laser's wavelength on the main bus waveguide. Based on a determined wavelength, the control circuit may change a ring laser wavelength to a desired wavelength to achieve a desired wavelength spacing for each of the ring lasers. The PIC may be integrated as a coarse wave-length division multiplexing (CWDM) transmit module. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for generating a computer-based united cellular lattice structure includes dividing a part volume into a number of adjacent subvolumes each having a side combination corresponding to a number and orientation of adjoining sides and non-adjoining sides. A modified lattice cell may be generated from a base lattice cell for each side combination of the subvolumes such that each modified lattice cell has face surfaces on faces thereof corresponding to non-adjoining sides and does not have face surfaces on faces thereof corresponding to adjoining sides. Copies of the modified lattice cells may then be generated and inserted into corresponding subvolumes such that the faces of the modified lattice cell copies having face surfaces are positioned along non-adjoining sides of the subvolumes and faces of the modified lattice cell copies not having face surfaces are positioned along adjoining sides of the subvolumes. |

| ABSTRACT | A processor includes multiple processing units (e.g., processor cores), with each processing unit associated with at least one private, dedicated cache. The processor is also associated with a system memory that stores all data that can be accessed by the multiple processing units. A coherency manager (e.g., a coherence directory) of the processor enforces a specified coherency scheme to ensure data coherency between the different caches and between the caches and the system memory. In response to a memory access request to a given cache resulting in a cache miss, the coherency manager identifies the current access latency to the system memory as well as the current access latencies to other caches of the processor. The coherency manager transfers the targeted data to the given cache from the cache or system memory having the lower access latency. |

| ABSTRACT | A cache coherence bridge protocol provides an interface between a cache coherence protocol of a host processor and a cache coherence protocol of a processor-in-memory, thereby decoupling coherence mechanisms of the host processor and the processor-in-memory. The cache coherence bridge protocol requires limited change to existing host processor cache coherence protocols. The cache coherence bridge protocol may be used to facilitate interoperability between host processors and processor-in-memory devices designed by different vendors and both the host processors and processor-in-memory devices may implement coherence techniques among computing units within each processor. The cache coherence bridge protocol may support different granularity of cache coherence permissions than those used by cache coherence protocols of a host processor and/or a processor-in-memory. The cache coherence bridge protocol uses a shadow directory that maintains status information indicating an aggregate view of copies of data cached in a system external to a processor-in-memory containing that data. |

| ABSTRACT | A high current density, low contact resistance contact for wide bandgap (WBG) or ultra-wide bandgap materials (UWBG) is disclosed. The contact is lithographically formed so that a total perimeter length of the contact structure is at least twice the length of the side of a contact pad closest to the gate in a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The contact structure may take the form of a plurality of columns having various cross-sectional shapes, or may take the form of a convoluted geometrical shape, such as a comb-like, serpentine, or spiral shape. The depth of the contact structure permits direct contact with the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the HEMT by the perimeter of the contact structure. The contact structure is formed of at least one metal layer, at least one doped material regrown layer, or at least one implanted region. The contact structure may be applied to other WBG and UWBG devices. |

| ABSTRACT | In some embodiments, an industrial asset may be associated with a plurality of monitoring nodes, each monitoring node generating a series of monitoring node values over time that represent operation of the industrial asset. A threat detection computer may determine that an attacked monitoring node is currently being attacked. Responsive to this determination, a virtual sensor coupled to the plurality of monitoring nodes may estimate a series of virtual node values for the attacked monitoring node(s) based on information received from monitoring nodes that are not currently being attacked. The virtual sensor may then replace the series of monitoring node values from the attacked monitoring node(s) with the virtual node values. Note that in some embodiments, virtual node values may be estimated for a particular node even before it is determined that the node is currently being attacked. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention relates to lipid polymeric patchy particles formed by nanoprecipitation and emulsification processes, utilizing a polymer blend including the polymer, solvent and lipid-PEGylated functional groups. More particularly, the invention relates to synthesizing particles having different or pre-selected morphologies (internal and external) and physicochemical properties. It has been found that the shear stress experienced by the polymer blend during emulsification can impart certain external and internal morphology and physicochemical properties to the resulting particles. Further, the one or more patches of the particles can be functionalized, such as, with gold nanoparticles, for use of the particles, in particular, in photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging. |

| ABSTRACT | A system of topographic patterns for the prevention of bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. The patterns may be provided on the surfaces of certain devices that are prone to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, such as urinary catheters. To reduce bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, and to remove existing biofilms, the patterns are induced to transform from a first topography to a second topography. For example, the surface patterns may be formed from a shape memory polymer and then heated to transform the patterns from the first topography to the second topography to dislodge bacteria and prevent fouling. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally concerns decomposing a ternary metal hydride to isolate nanoparticles to use in a fuel grain. More specifically, the present invention harnesses increased energy densities from two distinct nanoparticles isolated by a precise decomposition of LiAlH4. The singular material is air stable and is a nanocomposite of Li3AlH6 nanoparticles, elemental Al nanoparticles, an amount of Ti metal, and a nanoscale organic layer. We call this nanocomposite nMx, which protects and preserves the high energy densities of the core metals isolated from the controlled reaction, making the nanoparticles safe to handle in air. The narrow distribution of nanoparticles has no byproducts or phase transitions that decrease energy output. The unique burning characteristics of nMx enhance the combustion of solid propellant formulations compatible with solid or hybrid rocket motors, where fuel grains are cast, pressed, or 3D printed with nMx powder, a polymeric binder, or optional additives. |

| ABSTRACT | Optomechanical device for frequency doubling enhancement are described. The devices include a substrate through which light of a first wavelength is introduced, a first reflector mirror, a conductive layer disposed on the first reflector mirror, and a second mirror spaced apart from the conductive layer, thereby forming an optical cavity between the second mirror and the conductive layer. The devices also include a power source coupled to the second mirror and the conductive layer and a monolayer of non-linear optical material disposed within the optical cavity, the monolayer being configured to produce light of a second wavelength upon interaction with the light of the first wavelength. The second mirror is deformable upon introduction of voltage from the power source and deformation of the second mirror changes a length of the optical cavity, thereby enhancing a power output of the light of the second wavelength produced by the monolayer. |

| ABSTRACT | An optical wireless communications receiver includes a set of photodetectors and signal processing circuitry that receive and process optical communications signals to generate receive data. The receiver includes a spatial light modulator (SLM) and associated SLM controller. The SLM receives an incident optical communications signals from remote optical transmitters and selectively directs the received optical communications signals to the photodetectors to realize an SLM pattern according to SLM control signals from the SLM controller. A system controller establishes the SLM pattern and communicates a description of it to the SLM controller for use in generating the SLM control signals. The receiver may be used in a variety of applications, including so-called visible-light communications or VLC, in which data is transmitted over an optical link using light in the visible spectrum. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of forming a smooth aerodynamic surface that permits laminar flow of air over the smooth aerodynamic surface. Selected portions of a surface of a substrate material are ablated utilizing a laser to form a treated substrate surface having a predefined roughness. The treated substrate surface is coated to form a solid layer of material having a smooth aerodynamic surface that promotes laminar flow. The solid layer of material has a lower modulus of elasticity than the substrate material to provide durotaxis when an insect impacts the solid layer of epoxy material to thereby reduce adhesion of insect residue or other matter to the smooth aerodynamic surface. |

| ABSTRACT | A custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) may provide strong signal integrity while reducing the load to a thermal system. Control and analog-to-digital conversion may be pushed into components close to the detector to maximize signal integrity. Processing functions may be performed at relatively high temperature, or the highest allowable temperatures, simplifying the system-level thermal design by not cooling components that do not require such cooling to function. |

| ABSTRACT | Sensory processing of visual, auditory, and other sensor information (e.g., visual imagery, LIDAR, RADAR) is conventionally based on “stovepiped,” or isolated processing, with little interactions between modules. Biological systems, on the other hand, fuse multi-sensory information to identify nearby objects of interest more quickly, more efficiently, and with higher signal-to-noise ratios. Similarly, examples of the OpenSense technology disclosed herein use neurally inspired processing to identify and locate objects in a robot's environment. This enables the robot to navigate its environment more quickly and with lower computational and power requirements. |

| ABSTRACT | A backscatter modulator for providing low power wireless communications. The disclosed modulator provides phase control for discriminating backscatter from the antenna versus other objects. In addition, the disclosed backscatter modulator provides amplitude modulation so that the technique can provide a non-constant envelope which can provide an intentional imbalance to manipulate super-position to provide envelope control of the reflected signal, while still maintaining the frequency translation properties. The disclosed backscatter modulator thus allows compatibility with QAM, OFDM and other non-constant envelope modulation schemes to be backscattered, while still supporting the frequency translation behavior. |

| ABSTRACT | Sensory processing of visual, auditory, and other sensor information (e.g., visual imagery, LIDAR, RADAR) is conventionally based on “stovepiped,” or isolated processing, with little interactions between modules. Biological systems, on the other hand, fuse multi-sensory information to identify nearby objects of interest more quickly, more efficiently, and with higher signal-to-noise ratios. Similarly, examples of the OpenSense technology disclosed herein use neurally inspired processing to identify and locate objects in a robot's environment. This enables the robot to navigate its environment more quickly and with lower computational and power requirements. |

| ABSTRACT | Superconducting nanowire avalanche photodetectors (SNAPs) have using meandering nanowires to detect incident photons. When a superconducting nanowire absorbs a photon, it switches from a superconducting state to a resistive state, producing a change in voltage that can be measured across the nanowire. A SNAP may include multiple nanowires in order to increase the fill factor of the SNAP's active area and the SNAP's detection efficiency. But using multiple meandering nanowires to achieve high fill-factor in SNAPs can lead to current crowding at bends in the nanowires. This current crowding degrades SNAP performance by decreasing the switching current, which the current at which the nanowire transitions from a superconducting state to a resistive state. Fortunately, staggering the bends in the nanowires reduces current crowding, increasing the nanowire switching current, which in turn increases the SNAP dynamic range. |

| ABSTRACT | A walker for maintaining balance and stability has extendable and retractable struts positioned within tubular legs for leveling the walker when climbing stairs, a curb or an incline. The struts on each side of the walker are connected to one another via cables which coordinate the motion of the struts so that when the front struts retract within their respective tubular legs the rear struts extend proportionally and vice versa. The cables may be arranged using pulleys mounted within the tubular legs or Bowden cables may be used within each of the tubular legs. User actuated clutches engage the cables to arrest the motion of the struts and temporarily fix them in a desired configuration. |

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, December 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:
