| ABSTRACT | Enzymatic and non-enzymatic detectors and associated membrane apparatus, and methods of use, such as within a fully implantable sensor apparatus. In one embodiment, detector performance is controlled through selective use of membrane configurations and enzyme region shapes, which enable accurate detection of blood glucose level within the solid tissue of the living host for extended periods of time. Isolation between the host's tissue and the underlying enzymes and reaction byproducts used in the detectors is also advantageously maintained in one embodiment via use of a non-enzyme containing permeable membrane formed of e.g., a biocompatible crosslinked protein-based material. Control of response range and/or rate in some embodiments also permits customization of sensor elements. In one variant, heterogeneous detector elements are used to, e.g., accommodate a wider range of blood glucose concentration within the host. Methods of manufacturing the membranes and detectors, including methods to increase reliability, are also disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a retinal prosthetic method and device that mimics the responses of the retina to a broad range of stimuli, including natural stimuli. Ganglion cell firing patterns are generated in response to a stimulus using a set of encoders, interfaces, and transducers, where each transducer targets a single cell or a small number of cells. The conversion occurs on the same time scale as that carried out by the normal retina. In addition, aspects of the invention may be used with robotic or other mechanical devices, where processing of visual information is required. The encoders may be adjusted over time with aging or the progression of a disease. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to compounds that bind to wild-type CBFβ and inhibit CBFβ binding to RUNX proteins. The potent compounds of the invention inhibit this protein-protein interaction at low micromolar concentrations, using allosteric mechanism to achieve inhibition, displace wild-type CBFβ from RUNX1 in cells, change occupancy of RUNX1 on target genes, and alter gene expression of RUNX1 target genes. These inhibitors show clear biological effects consistent with on-target RUNX protein activity. Pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier represent a separate embodiment of the invention. Another embodiment of the invention are methods of treating a RUNX-signaling-dependent cancer that expresses wild-type CBFβ in a subject in need thereof by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention. In one embodiment, the cancer is selected from the group consisting of a RUNX-signaling-dependent leukemia that expresses wild-type CBFβ, lung cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, cervical cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, salivary gland cancer, bone cancer, brain cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, skin cancer, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, pleomorphic adenoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and/or adenocarcinoma. In another embodiment, the compounds of the invention can be used to treat a leukemia, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and/or breast cancer. |

| ABSTRACT | Spin-labeled ice binding compounds (IBCs) including ice binding proteins (IBPs) or antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and their analogs may carry paramagnetic centers for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), for enhancing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal intensities. Use of spin-labeled IBCs to perform DNP exploits the IBCs' ability to homogeneously distribute the paramagnetic centers in frozen water solution at low temperature, leading to high DNP efficiency. Other advantages of using spin-labeled IBCs include cryo-protecting biological samples; cryo-preserving relative positions and orientations of the spin labeling groups; selecting positions and orientations of spin labeling groups with freedom and without technical barriers to making multiple spin labels in an IBC; and enabling use of a solvent that is primarily water for DNP at low temperatures in view of the potentially high water solubilities of spin-labeled IBCs. |

| ABSTRACT | Increased viral particle maturation and production can be achieved in various methods for producing viral particles from viral proteins, in general, by inhibiting or preventing Heme Oxygenase 2 (HO-2) from binding to the group-specific antigen (Gag) of the viral proteins, thus allowing delivery of the viral proteins to plasma membranes where they can replicate and mature without interference from HO-2. The increase in viral particle maturation and production can also be achieved by minimizing or eliminating the presence of HO-2 to thus reduce or prevent binding of HO-2 to the group-specific antigen (Gag) of the viral proteins. The invention is particularly applicable to the production of lentiviruses from viral proteins wherein the Matrix domain (MA) of the Gag is myristoylated. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein is a device for separation and analysis of trace and ultra-trace ionogenic compounds by isotachophoresis-zone electrophoresis on a chip with online detection and method of its use, concentrating trace and ultra-trace analytes by isotachophoretic migration in a wide separation channel when a manifold of auxiliary electrodes is employed. Then the isotachophoretic zones of trace and ultra-trace analytes are transferred by isotachophoretic migration through a tapered channel, while corresponding auxiliary electrodes are progressively disconnected from the power supply. When the isotachophoretic zones enter the analytical capillary channel, the mode switches to zone electrophoresis and an online detector detects analytes for qualitative and quantitative analysis. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for detecting antigen-specific antibodies in a biological sample are described. The disclosed methods can be used for the diagnosis of a variety of autoimmune and infectious diseases. The methods use a neodymium magnet to efficiently isolate immune complexes. The disclosed methods are rapid, highly specific and sensitive, require very small volumes of biological sample, and do not require the use of radioactivity. With these advantageous features, the disclosed methods are amendable for point-of-care testing (POCT), which is currently not available for the detection of autoantibodies associated with autoimmune disease or for the detection of many pathogen-specific antibodies. |

| ABSTRACT | A micropump assembly is comprised of modular stacked pump stages. The modular pump stages are preferably stacked vertically on top of each other. The stacked design allows each pumping chamber to be compressed by two pumping membranes and thereby provide twice the compression as compared to conventional planar pump designs. The stacked design also eliminates the need for bidirectional movement of the pumping membrane. Lastly, the number of stacked pumping stages can be changed post-fabrication to achieve the required pressure for a given application. |

| ABSTRACT | A first fluid is heated in a preheating section and passes into an evaporator coupled to a first electronic component. Operational heat from the first electronic component vaporizes the first fluid. A second fluid passes into a cold plate coupled to a second electronic component. Operational heat from the second electronic component heats the second fluid. First and second portions of the second fluid output from the cold plate pass through first and second routes, respectively. The first portion becomes thermally coupled to the preheating section and the second portion bypasses the preheating section. Heat transfer from the first portion to the preheating section causes the heating of the first fluid in the preheating section. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system of monitoring a reliability of a semiconductor circuit are provided. A current consumption of a first ring oscillator that is in static state is measured at predetermined intervals. Each measured current consumption value is stored. A baseline current consumption value of the first ring oscillator is determined based on the stored current consumption values. A latest measured current consumption value of the first ring oscillator is compared to the baseline current consumption value. Upon determining that the latest measured current consumption value is above a threshold deviation from the baseline current consumption value, the first ring oscillator is identified to have a dielectric breakdown degradation. |

| ABSTRACT | Photonic data routing in optical networks is expected overcome the limitations of electronic routers with respect to data rate, latency, and energy consumption. However photonics-based routers suffer from dynamic power consumption, and non-simultaneous usage of multiple wavelength channels when microrings are deployed and are sizable in footprint. Here we show a design for the first hybrid photonic-plasmonic, non-blocking, broadband 5×5 router based on 3-waveguide silicon photonic-plasmonic 2×2 switches. The compactness of the router (footprint <200 μm2) results in a short optical propagation delay (0.4 ps) enabling high data capacity up to 2 Tbps. The router has an average energy consumption ranging from 0.1˜1.0 fJ/bit depending on either DWDM or CDWM operation, enabled by the low electrical capacitance of the switch. The total average routing insertion loss of 2.5 dB is supported via an optical mode hybridization deployed inside the 2×2 switches, which minimizes the coupling losses between the photonic and plasmonic sections of the router. The router's spectral bandwidth resides in the S, C and L bands and exceeds 100 nm supporting WDM applications since no resonance feature are required. Moreover, this hybrid photonic-plasmonic switch design is also suitable for 3 up to a few dozens of routing ports by simply cascading our 2×2 switch with a specific pattern. Taken together this novel optical router combines multiple design features, all required in next generation high data-throughput optical networks and computing systems. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to multicast in a configurable spatial accelerator are described. In one embodiment, an accelerator includes a first output buffer of a first processing element coupled to a first input buffer of a second processing element and a second input buffer of a third processing element; and the first processing element determines that it was able to complete a transmission in a previous cycle when the first processing element observed for both the second processing element and the third processing element that either a speculation value was set to a value to indicate a dataflow token was stored in its input buffer (e.g., as indicated by a reception value (e.g., bit)) or a backpressure value was set to a value to indicate that storage is to be available in its input buffer before dequeuing the dataflow token from the first output buffer. |

| ABSTRACT | Digital pathology is the concept of capturing digital images from glass microscope slides in order to record, visualize, analyze, manage, report, share and diagnose pathology specimens. The present disclosure is directed to a desktop slide scanner, which enables pathologists to scan slides at a touch of a button. Included is a workflow for reliable imaging, diagnosis, quantification, management, and sharing of a digital pathology library. Also disclosed herein is an analysis framework that provides for pattern recognition of biological samples represented as digital images to automatically quantitatively score normal cell parameters against disease state parameters. The framework provides a pathologist with an opportunity to see what the algorithm is scoring, and simply agree, or edit the result. This framework offers a new tool to enhance the precision of the current standard of care. |

| ABSTRACT | A universal quantum computer may be emulated by a classical computing system that uses an electronic signal of bounded duration and amplitude to represent an arbitrary initial quantum state. The initial quantum state may be specified by inputs provided to the system and may be encoded in the signal, which is derived from a collection of phase-coherent coherent basis signals. Unitary quantum computing gate operations, including logical operations on qubits or operations that change the phase of a qubit, may be performed using analog electronic circuits within the quantum computing emulation device. These circuits, which may apply a matrix transformation to the signals representing the initial quantum state, may include four-quadrant multipliers, operational amplifiers, and analog filters. A measurement component within the quantum computing emulation device may produce a digital signal output representing the transformed quantum state. The gate operation(s) performed may be selected from among multiple supported operations. |

| ABSTRACT | An over sampled image sensor in which the pixel size is small enough to provide spatial oversampling of the minimum blur size of the sensor optics is disclosed. Image processing to detect targets below the typical limit of 6× the temporal noise floor is also disclosed. The apparatus is useful in detecting dimmer targets and targets at a longer range from the sensors. The inventions exploits signal processing, which allows spatial temporal filtering of the superpixel image in such manner that the Noise Equivalent Power is reduced by a means of Superpixel Filtering and Pooling, which increases the sensitivity far beyond a non-oversampled imager. Overall visual acuity is improved due to the ability to detect dimmer targets, provide better resolution of low intensity targets, and improvements in false alarm rejection. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to novel non-ferromagnetic amorphous steel alloys represented by the general formula: Fe—Mn-(Q)-B-M, wherein Q represents one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Sc, Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu, and M represents one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Cr, Co, Mo, C and Si. Typically the atomic percentage of the Q constituent is 10 or less. An aspect is to utilize these amorphous steels as coatings, rather than strictly bulk structural applications. In this fashion any structural metal alloy can be coated by various technologies by these alloys for protection from the environment. The resultant structures can utilize surface and bulk properties of the amorphous alloy. |

| ABSTRACT | Fine coal is cleaned of its mineral matter impurities and dewatered by mixing the aqueous slurry containing both with a hydrophobic liquid, subjecting the mixture to a phase separation. The resulting hydrophobic liquid phase contains coal particles free of surface moisture and droplets of water stabilized by coal particles, while the aqueous phase contains the mineral matter. By separating the entrained water droplets from the coal particles mechanically, a clean coal product of substantially reduced mineral matter and moisture contents is obtained. The spent hydrophobic liquid is separated from the clean coal product and recycled. The process can also be used to separate one type of hydrophilic particles from another by selectively hydrophobizing one. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of producing uranium nitride (e.g., uranium mononitride) and/or uranium-containing intermediates that can be used to further produce uranium nitride includes reacting a reaction mixture comprising uranium carbide with a gas comprising hydrogen and nitrogen, cooling the reaction mixture to a temperature suitable to produce a phase comprising U2N3, and heating the reaction mixture to a temperature suitable to convert the phase comprising U2N3 to a phase comprising UN. The method produces highly purified UN, is insensitive to excess carbon reactants, and can be readily integrated into existing uranium production facilities as part of a continuous process. |

| ABSTRACT | An array of LEDs is supported by a support mechanism that both supports conductors leading to the LEDs and sinks heat from the LEDs. The support mechanism may be a transparent heat-conducting sheet or an array of cantilevered arms at different angles that support the LEDs and sink heat. This reduces the blockage of light. The LEDs are positioned generally in the focal plane of an array of concave mirrors that collimate the light. The LEDs and array of mirrors are translatable with respect to one another to steer the aggregate light beam to customize the emission. The LEDs may be variably oriented with respect to the associated mirror apertures so as to create different light beams emitted from different ones of the mirrors. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure is directed to the operation and turndown of a segmented annular combustion system. The method includes injecting, via a fuel nozzle, a combustible mixture into a primary combustion zone between an adjacent pair of integrated combustor nozzles and burning the combustible mixture. The method further includes flowing air and injecting fuel into a premixing channel defined within a first integrated combustor nozzle to produce a second combustible mixture. The second combustible mixture is injected into a secondary combustion zone where it is combusted. The flow of combustion gases is accelerated, via turbine nozzles of the integrated combustor nozzles, toward turbine blades of a downstream turbine section. The method permits turndown of the combustion system by reducing or shutting off fuel to various components of the combustion system. |

| ABSTRACT | Random number generators include a thermal optical source and detector configured to produce random numbers based on quantum-optical intensity fluctuations. An optical flux is detected, and signals proportional to optical intensity and a delayed optical intensity are combined. The combined signals can be electrical signals or optical signals, and the optical source is selected so as to have low coherence over a predetermined range of delay times. Balanced optical detectors can be used to reduce common mode noise, and in some examples, the optical flux is directed to only one of a pair of balanced detectors. |

| ABSTRACT | In a system for automatic generation of event-driven, tuple-space based programs from a sequential specification, a hierarchical mapping solution can target different runtimes relying on event-driven tasks (EDTs). The solution uses loop types to encode short, transitive relations among EDTs that can be evaluated efficiently at runtime. Specifically, permutable loops translate immediately into conservative point-to-point synchronizations of distance one. A runtime-agnostic which can be used to target the transformed code to different runtimes. |

| ABSTRACT | A system, apparatus and method are provided in which a range of virtual memory addresses and a copy of that range are mapped to the same first system address range in a data processing system until an address in the virtual memory address range, or its copy, is written to. The common system address range includes a number of divisions. Responsive to a write request to an address in a division of the common address range, a second system address range is generated. The second system address range is mapped to the same physical addresses as the first system address range, except that the division containing the address to be written to and its corresponding division in the second system address range are mapped to different physical addresses. First layer mapping data may be stored in a range table buffer and updated when the second system address range is generated. |

| ABSTRACT | A series of solid solutions AlFe2_xMnxB2 have been synthesized by arc-melting and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, and magnetic measurements. All the compounds adopt the parent AlFe2B2-type structure, in which infinite zigzag chains of B atoms are connected by Fe atoms into [Fe2B2] slabs that alternate with layers of Al atoms along the b axis. The parent AlFe2B2 is a ferromagnet with Tc=282 K. A systematic investigation of solid solutions AlFe2_xMnx.B2 showed a non-linear change in the structural and magnetic behavior. The ferromagnetic ordering temperature is gradually decreased as the Mn content (x) increases. The substitution of Mn for Fe offers a convenient method for the adjustment of the ferromagnetic ordering temperature of AlFe2B2. |

| ABSTRACT | Various technologies pertaining to a high-impedance current source are described herein. The current source outputs a substantially constant current by way of a first transistor that draws current from a supply. The current source is configured to feed-back noise from the supply to a feedback resistor at an input of an operational amplifier (op-amp) by way of a second transistor. The feedback resistor and the op-amp are configured such that responsive to receiving the supply noise feedback, the op-amp drives a gate voltage of the first transistor to cause the first transistor to reject the supply noise and cause the output of the current source to remain substantially constant. |

| ABSTRACT | A pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) actuator body can be formed from an elastic material that includes an inflatable chamber and a restraining component, such as flexible, but inextensible fibers, that causes the actuator to contract when the chamber is inflated with fluid (e.g., air or water). The actuator body can be cylindrical or flat. The actuator body can include a sensor layer formed of an elastic material including a microchannel filled with a conductive fluid to sense the expansion of the actuator body. The sensor layer can be configured to expand when the actuator body is inflated causing the electrical resistance of the conductive fluid to change. A sensor layer between the actuator body and restraining component can be used to measure changes in the contraction force of the actuator and a sensor layer outside of the restraining component can be used to measure changes in the length of the actuator. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrophoresis chip-based setup for detection of different ions in buffer solution. The device is able to differentiate ions in, e.g., real soil or other solutions, and to detect concentration of a specific ion in the solution. Fabrication of the electrophoresis chip can use a soft lithography based molding process. The chip can be made out of PDMS on a glass substrate where on-chip valves were used to control timing of injecting sample and buffer solutions. Detection electrodes are used to detect the presence of ions over a period of several minutes. A controllable high voltage power supply system and related signal acquisition, processing and detection setup can be implemented with the sensor in a system. A microfluidic system for automated collection of soil sample through a porous ceramic and using vacuum suction can be used. |

| ABSTRACT | A series of solid solutions AlFe2_xMnxB2 have been synthesized by arc-melting and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, and magnetic measurements. All the compounds adopt the parent AlFe2B2-type structure, in which infinite zigzag chains of B atoms are connected by Fe atoms into [Fe2B2] slabs that alternate with layers of Al atoms along the b axis. The parent AlFe2B2 is a ferromagnet with Tc=282 K. A systematic investigation of solid solutions AlFe2_xMnx.B2 showed a non-linear change in the structural and magnetic behavior. The ferromagnetic ordering temperature is gradually decreased as the Mn content (x) increases. The substitution of Mn for Fe offers a convenient method for the adjustment of the ferromagnetic ordering temperature of AlFe2B2. |

| ABSTRACT | A Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) transmitter is presented for used in ultra-low-power radios in short range IoT applications. The power consumption of state-of-the-art BLE transmitter has been limited by the relatively power-hungry local oscillator due to the use of LC oscillators for superior phase noise performance. This disclosure addresses this issue by analyzing the phase noise limit of a BLE TX and proposes a ring oscillator-based solution for power and cost savings. The proposed transmitter features: 1) a wideband all-digital phase locked loop (ADPLL) featuring an fRF/4 RO, with an embedded 5-bit TDC; 2) a 4× frequency edge combiner to generate the 2.4 GHz signal; and 3) a switch-capacitor digital PA optimized for high efficiency at low transmit power levels. These not only help reduce the power consumption and improve phase noise performance, but also enhance the transmitter efficiency for short range applications. |

| ABSTRACT | A link extends between a distal member and a proximal member of a wearable device, such as an exoskeleton, orthosis or prosthesis for a human lower limb. One or other of the distal member and the proximal member includes a crossing member. The link extends from the crossing member of the distal member or the proximal member, to the other of the distal member or the proximal member. Actuation of the link translates to a force at the distal or proximal member that is normal to a major longitudinal axis extending through the distal and proximal members. In one embodiment, a sliding link of a device configured for use with a human joint tracks two degrees of freedom of the joint. |

| ABSTRACT | A computer system determines contingency landing sites for an aircraft, piloted or autonomous. The computer system decomposes data from various types of maps into multiple separate risk maps, which can include: one for the risk to people being present on the ground at the landing site; one for the risk of damage to property on the ground at the landing site; one for the risk of damage to the aircraft; and/or one for the risk to people on-board the aircraft. From these maps, the computer system generates a contingency landing site map that the aircraft can use to determine an appropriate landing site in the case of an emergency. The computer system can also perform landing simulations to determine the various risks. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for sensing presence of at least one specified chemical component in a patient's sample gas, associated with a disease (or medical condition), and for associating presence of the disease with presence of the specified chemical component concentration in an identified concentration range. Pattern matching is applied to identify one or more specified components that are present in the sample gas. Measured electrical parameter values (EPVs) for each nanosensor are modeled by constitutive relations dependent on a polynomial of powers of component concentrations. The EPV models are used to estimate component concentrations for the differently functionalized nanosensors. Estimated concentrations are averaged over the sensors to provide an overall concentration value for each surviving specified component. These overall concentration values are compared with concentration ranges associated, to estimate presence or absence of a disease or medical condition. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein is a device for separation and analysis of trace and ultra-trace ionogenic compounds by isotachophoresis-zone electrophoresis on a chip with online detection and method of its use, concentrating trace and ultra-trace analytes by isotachophoretic migration in a wide separation channel when a manifold of auxiliary electrodes is employed. Then the isotachophoretic zones of trace and ultra-trace analytes are transferred by isotachophoretic migration through a tapered channel, while corresponding auxiliary electrodes are progressively disconnected from the power supply. When the isotachophoretic zones enter the analytical capillary channel, the mode switches to zone electrophoresis and an online detector detects analytes for qualitative and quantitative analysis. |

| ABSTRACT | Photonic data routing in optical networks is expected overcome the limitations of electronic routers with respect to data rate, latency, and energy consumption. However photonics-based routers suffer from dynamic power consumption, and non-simultaneous usage of multiple wavelength channels when microrings are deployed and are sizable in footprint. Here we show a design for the first hybrid photonic-plasmonic, non-blocking, broadband 5×5 router based on 3-waveguide silicon photonic-plasmonic 2×2 switches. The compactness of the router (footprint <200 μm2) results in a short optical propagation delay (0.4 ps) enabling high data capacity up to 2 Tbps. The router has an average energy consumption ranging from 0.1˜1.0 fJ/bit depending on either DWDM or CDWM operation, enabled by the low electrical capacitance of the switch. The total average routing insertion loss of 2.5 dB is supported via an optical mode hybridization deployed inside the 2×2 switches, which minimizes the coupling losses between the photonic and plasmonic sections of the router. The router's spectral bandwidth resides in the S, C and L bands and exceeds 100 nm supporting WDM applications since no resonance feature are required. Moreover, this hybrid photonic-plasmonic switch design is also suitable for 3 up to a few dozens of routing ports by simply cascading our 2×2 switch with a specific pattern. Taken together this novel optical router combines multiple design features, all required in next generation high data-throughput optical networks and computing systems. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system are provided for multifactor identification of a subject over a network using a rich credential, with selective disclosure of attributes and selective presentation of verification factors. A credential presentation application negotiates with a verifying server to agree on attributes to be disclosed and verification factors to be presented, and removes unneeded attributes and verification data from the rich credential by pruning subtrees from a typed hash tree without invalidating a signature that covers the root label of the tree. The credential presentation application proves knowledge of a private key, and as agreed upon may prove knowledge of a password and may arrange for biometric presentation applications to present one or more biometric samples to the verifier, which performs presentation attack detection and verifies the samples against verification data in the rich credential. |

| ABSTRACT | In some implementations, a processor can compute a relationship graph to be visually rendered on a display. The processor can define a set of graphical nodes, and can randomly select a first subset of graphical nodes from the set of graphical nodes. The first subset of graphical nodes is less than the set of graphical nodes of the relationship graph. The processor can update a position for each graphical node from the first subset of graphical nodes based on a repulsion value between that graphical node from the first subset of graphical nodes and each graphical node from a second subset of graphical nodes from the set of graphical nodes. The processor can then render each graphical node from the set of graphical nodes based on the updated position for each graphical node from the first subset of graphical nodes. |

| ABSTRACT | A series of solid solutions AlFe2_xMnxB2 have been synthesized by arc-melting and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, and magnetic measurements. All the compounds adopt the parent AlFe2B2-type structure, in which infinite zigzag chains of B atoms are connected by Fe atoms into [Fe2B2] slabs that alternate with layers of Al atoms along the b axis. The parent AlFe2B2 is a ferromagnet with Tc=282 K. A systematic investigation of solid solutions AlFe2_xMnx.B2 showed a non-linear change in the structural and magnetic behavior. The ferromagnetic ordering temperature is gradually decreased as the Mn content (x) increases. The substitution of Mn for Fe offers a convenient method for the adjustment of the ferromagnetic ordering temperature of AlFe2B2. |

| ABSTRACT | A light sensor system including a reference light source that moves in unison with a primary mirror and/or an inertial measurement device, and/or the reference light source is directed toward an obscured region of the light sensor system. The reference light source may allow for improved jitter compensation based on feedback of the reference light. The feedback may be representative of the elastic deformation of the optics and telescope optical axis. The improved jitter compensation may allow for the light sensor system (e.g., the housing and/or mirrors) to be built with less stiff materials, which can reduce the cost of manufacturing the present light sensor system compared to previously known optical sensor systems. In cases of high vibration levels which would otherwise degrade the resulting image quality after material stiffness property selections have been exhausted, the light sensor system may provide jitter compensation to improve video or still image quality. |

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, February 18, 2020.
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:
