| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are aerosol particle growth systems including polymer electrolyte membranes and related methods of increasing the size of aerosol particles. In some embodiments, an outer housing contains a reservoir of a working fluid, and a PEM conduit extends through the outer housing, the reservoir, and the working fluid so that the working fluid is in contact with an outer surface of the PEM conduit. The conduit can be generally helical or coiled, for example. In some embodiments, the working fluid is molecularly transported across the PEM and disperses into an aerosol flowing through the PEM conduit. As the aerosol flows through the PEM conduit, the aerosol particles act as nucleation sites for the gaseous working fluid, which condenses on the particles, causing the particles to grow in size and making them easier to detect, collect, measure, count, study, or otherwise investigate. |

| ABSTRACT | A two-chain insulin analogue contains an A chain modified by (i) a monomeric glucose-binding element at or near its N terminus and (ii) a B chain modified by at or near its C terminus by an element that reversibly binds to the monomeric glucose-binding element such that this linkage is displaceable by glucose. The monomeric glucose-binding element may be phenylboronic acid derivative (optionally halogenated). The B chain may be modified by a diol-containing element derived from a monosaccharide, disaccharide or oligosaccharide, a non-saccharide diol-containing moiety or a α-hydroxycarboxylate-containing moiety. The analogue can be manufactured by trypsin-mediated semi-synthesis. Formulations can be at strengths U-10 to U-1000 in soluble solutions at pH 7.0-8.0 with or without zinc ions at a molar ratio of 0.0-3.0 ions per insulin analogue monomer. A patient with diabetes mellitus may be treated with subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or oral administration of a physiologically effective amount of the insulin analogue. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a method for determining the activity of an inhibitor of a target protein that has a deleterious effect on cell growth. The principle of the claimed method is that a compound that inhibits the function of an overexpressed protein will relieve the detrimental effect of such overexpression in a concentration-dependent manner, thereby allowing the determination of the activity of the compound in inhibiting its target protein in live cells. |

| ABSTRACT | Viral infection has been suspected in the development of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Using a custom viral microarray, hepatitis delta virus (HDV) genomes and antigens were detected in minor salivary glands of patients with pSS. Expression of HDV antigens in healthy mice led to a Sjögren's syndrome-like pathogenesis characterized by a reduction in salivary flow, increase in lymphocytic foci, and the development of an autoantibody profile similar to HDV-positive patients. Also described herein is the detection of HDV in patients diagnosed with lymphoma. Expression of HDV antigen in healthy mice resulted in the development of tertiary lymphoid structures characteristic of the early stages of lymphoma. A sensitive, nested qPCR assay to detect HDV transcript and/or HDV genome in patient samples is also described. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods are provided for separating magnetically responsive beads from a droplet in a droplet actuator. Droplet operations electrodes and a magnet are arranged in a droplet actuator to manipulate a bead-containing droplet and position it relative to a magnetic field region that attracts the magnetically responsive beads. The droplet operations electrodes are operated to control the droplet shape and transport it away from the magnetic field region to form a concentration of beads in the droplet. The continued transport of the droplet away from the magnetic field causes the concentration of beads to break away from the droplet to yield a small, concentrated bead-containing droplet immobilized by the magnet. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods of printing nanoparticulate ink using nanoporous print stamps are disclosed. A nanoporous print stamp can include a substrate, a patterned arrangement of carbon nanotubes disposed on the substrate, and a secondary material disposed on the carbon nanotubes to reduce capillary-induced deformation of the patterned arrangement of carbon nanotubes when printing nanoparticulate ink. Some methods include loading a nanoporous print stamp with nanoparticulate colloidal ink such that the nanoparticulate colloidal ink is drawn into microstructures of the patterned arrangement of carbon nanotubes via capillary wicking. Nanoparticulate colloidal ink can include nanoparticles dispersed in a solution. The method also includes contacting a nanoporous stamp to a target substrate to form nanoscale contact points between the target substrate and the patterned arrangement of carbon nanotubes of the nanoporous print stamp so that nanoparticulate colloidal ink is drawn out of the nanoporous print stamp and onto the target substrate to form a pattern. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods of making blended, isoporous, asymmetric (graded) films (e.g. ultrafiltration membranes) comprising two or more chemically distinct block copolymers and blended, isoporous, asymmetric (graded) films (e.g. ultrafiltration membranes) comprising two or more chemically distinct block copolymers. The generation of blended membranes by mixing two chemically distinct block copolymers in the casting solution demonstrates a pathway to advanced asymmetric block copolymer derived films, which can be used as ultrafiltration membranes, in which different pore surface chemistries and associated functionalities can be integrated into a single membrane via standard membrane fabrication, i.e. without requiring laborious post-fabrication modification steps. The block copolymers may be diblock, triblock and/or multiblock mixes and some block copolymers in the mix may be functionally modified. Triblock copolymers comprising a reactive group (e.g., sulfhydryl group) terminated block and films comprising the triblock copolymers. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to a polymerase activity assay that produces a strong optical signal when a primer-template complex is extended to full-length product. The assay uses Cy3 as the molecular beacon and Iowa Black® RQ as the quencher. The signal-to-noise-ratio (STNR) of this donor-quencher pairing is ˜200-fold over background, which is considerably better than other donor-quencher pairs (STNRs ˜10-20-fold). The STNR allows for solution-based monitoring of polymerase activity. Because the sensor functions via Watson-Crick base pairing, the polymerase activity assay may also be used to evolve polymerases to accept xeno nucleic acids as substrates. |

| ABSTRACT | A weapon for firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition includes a barrel, a chamber member and a carrier assembly. The chamber member defines a chamber for a CT round for firing, and translates between a firing position aligned with the barrel and an ejection/loading position. The chamber member is spring-biased toward the firing position. The carrier assembly carries the firing pin and (1) performs a recoil in which a carrier and rammer move rearward from a battery position to bring the next CT round into a ramming position and to move the chamber member from the firing position to the ejection/loading position, and (2) performs a counter-recoil to return to the battery position and cause the rammer to push the next CT round into the chamber. The chamber member is released for biased return to the firing position for a next firing cycle. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments relate to estimating river discharge and depth. Initially, observed velocities are used to generate a maximum velocity streamline for a river section, which is then used with an observed shoreline to construct a streamline curvilinear grid. The grid is used to interpolate scattered velocity data points, which are used with a bottom friction of the river section to approximate mean total head slope values. A least squares minimization scheme is applied to a velocity-slope relationship to estimate a bottom friction and discharge coefficient by fitting a difference in the predicted mean total head elevation values between upstream and downstream ends of the river section to a respective ζ-average of the measured total head values of the river section. Discharge of the river section is determined based on the coefficient and a velocity-depth relationship and then used to generate a river forecast. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments relate to a high power supercontinuum (SC) fiber optical source. The SC fiber optical source includes a prebroadening optical fiber that broadens the spectrum of a lower power intermediate optical signal before final amplification. The spectrum broadening creates spectral components which facilitate further spectrum broadening of amplified signal in final nonlinear stage, allowing to achive flatter and wider spectrum, and reduces nonlinear Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) that could damage SC fiber optical source components or limit the output power of the SC fiber optical source signal, thus enabling higher output power. After amplification in booster, passing at least part of broadened spectrum, the optical signal spectrum is further broadened by injecting the optical signal into a nonlinear stage to create a SC optical signal. |

| ABSTRACT | A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for identifying nonsense passages. An annotator in a natural language processing pipeline configured to execute in the data processing system annotates an input passage in a corpus with linguistic features to form an annotated passage. A domain-specific policy is associated with a domain of the corpus. A metric counters component in the natural language processing pipeline counts a number of instances of each type of linguistic feature in the annotated passage to form a set of feature counts. The metric counters component of the natural language processing pipeline determines a value for a metric based on the set of feature counts. The metric is specified in the domain-specific policy. A comparator component of the natural language processing pipeline compares the value for the metric to a predetermined model threshold. The threshold is specified in the domain-specific policy. A filter component of the natural language processing pipeline identifies whether the input passage is a nonsense passage based on a result of the comparison. |

| ABSTRACT | A magnetic device may include a layer stack. The layer stack may include a first ferromagnetic layer; a non-magnetic spacer layer on the first ferromagnetic layer, where the non-magnetic spacer layer comprises at least one of Ru, Ir, Ta, Cr, W, Mo, Re, Hf, Zr, or V; a second ferromagnetic layer on the non-magnetic spacer layer; and an oxide layer on the second ferromagnetic layer. The magnetic device also may include a voltage source configured to apply a bias voltage across the layer stack to cause switching of a magnetic orientation of the second ferromagnetic layer without application of an external magnetic field or a current. A thickness and composition of the non-magnetic spacer layer may be selected to enable a switching direction of the magnetic orientation of the second ferromagnetic layer to be controlled by a sign of the bias voltage. |

| ABSTRACT | A positive electrode material having a nominal stoichiometry Li1+y/2Co1−x−y−z−dSizFexMyM′d(PO4)1+y/2 where M is a trivalent cation selected from at least one of Cr, Ti, Al, Mn, Ni, V, Sc, La and/or Ga, M′ is a divalent cation selected from at least one of Mn, Ni, Zn, Sr, Cu, Ca and/or Mg, y is within a range of 0<y≤0.10 and x is within a range of 0≤x≤0.2. The use of double compositional modification to LiCoPO4 increases the discharge capacity from ˜100 mAh/g to about 130 mAh/g while retaining the discharge capacity retention of the singly Fe-substituted LiCoPO4. Additional compositional modification to include Si increases the cycle life and greatly improved the coulombic efficiency to between 97-100% at a C/3 cycle rate. |

| ABSTRACT | An embodiment of an amplifier circuit includes first, second, and third amplifiers. The first and second amplifiers are configured to amplify a differential input signal with a non-inverting gain. And the third amplifier, which can be a transconductance amplifier, is configured to cause the first and second amplifiers to amplify a common-mode input signal with a gain that is less than unity. The third amplifier can also be configured to cause the first and second amplifiers to generate a common-mode output voltage that is substantially independent of the common-mode input voltage. Consequently, in addition to presenting a high input impedance and a low noise factor, such an amplifier circuit has a configurable common-mode output voltage and has a lower common-mode gain (e.g., less than unity, approaching zero) than other non-inverting differential amplifiers. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system of reliably detecting a reactive jamming attack and estimating the jammer's listening interval for exploitation by a communication system comprises channelizing one or more signals of interest (SOI), channelizing one or more signals of unknown origin (SUO), identifying frequency support patterns for the SOI and SUO using Bayes thresholds, comparing SOI and SUO detection map histories, and determining a percent match, where a match percentage above a specified minimum indicates a reactive attack. Edge detection can be used to enhance jammer support. Embodiments further detect reactive jammer adaptation to changes in the SOI's frequency support. Embodiments include detectors that are insensitive to jammer modulation and/or signal type. A jammer reaction delay and/or size and periodicity of receive window can be detected. Embodiments determine if a jammer is copying and retransmitting the SOI's waveform(s), and/or if the jammer is anticipatory. |

| ABSTRACT | Heme released as a result of sustained injury leads to toxicity and triggers an inflammatory response and tissue damage. Heme oxygenase, an enzyme, recognizes, binds free heme and breaks it down as a part of the anti-inflammatory response. The present disclosure relates to a class of peptide amphiphiles that mimic the heme oxygenase function, and have shown that the designed peptide is able to bind and break down heme thus validating its potential as an anti-inflammatory agent that promotes tissue repair and useful in wound healing. The disclosed peptide sequence design provides control of amphiphile peptides' supramolecular structure and function. Applicants have shown that the incorporated heme molecule can transport CO, which suggests that the peptides can also transport NO, O2 and reactive oxygens, the molecules which are responsible for vasodilation, neurotransmission and cell death. Besides heme oxygenase function, it is believed that the designed peptides can recognize normal tissue adjacent to the damaged area and the peptide can self-assemble into fibers that promote healthy cell growth. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for detection, monitoring, and determination of location of changes in rigid structures with arbitrarily complex geometries are described. Implementations include locating acoustic transducers that generate and receive acoustic signals at multiple locations along a surface of the rigid structure, wherein longitudinal spacing between the transducer locations define measurement zones. Acoustic signals with chosen amplitude-time-frequency characteristics excite multiple vibration modes in the structure within each zone. Small mechanical changes in the inspection zones lead to scattering and attenuation of broadband acoustic signals, which are detectable as changes in received signal characteristics as part of a through-transmission technique. Additional use of short, narrowband pulse acoustic signals as part of a pulse-echo technique allows determination of the relative location of the mechanical change within each zone based on the differential delay profiles. |

| ABSTRACT | An example method involves receiving, at a first memory node, data to be written at a memory location in the first memory node. The data is received from a device. At the first memory node, old data is read from the memory location, without sending the old data to the device. The data is written to the memory location. The data and the old data are sent from the first memory node to a second memory node to store parity information in the second memory node without the device determining the parity information. The parity information is based on the data stored in the first memory node. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are shown for providing metric driven deployments to cloud server services that are adapted to interface with each provider. In some implementations, there is insight and control over network, disk, CPU, and other activity giving the ability to do performance metrics analysis for a given application or service between different cloud server services as each application or service is run in a container within an instance running on the respective cloud server service. This allows for comparison between a plurality of providers for a given container driven by one or more metrics such as cost, flexibility, and performance. The instances which runs the one or more containers can be scaled up and down to a desired workload performance. Replication of images between providers can allow for seamless changing between providers based on changing goals as well as distribution of workload. |

| ABSTRACT | According to an aspect, a method for triggering creation of a checkpoint in a computer system includes executing a task in a processing node of the computer system. A monitoring block size is determined for the checkpoint. A checkpoint interval is determined based on the monitoring block size, a checkpoint bandwidth, and a failure rate of the computer system. Based on determining that the checkpoint interval has elapsed, the checkpoint including state data of the task is created to enable restarting execution of the task upon a restart operation. The state data of the checkpoint is restored from a memory responsive to detecting an error condition at the processing node. Execution of the task is restarted in the processing node based on the state data restored from the memory. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are superconducting gantry magnets that include multiple quadrupole winding sections placed in sequence on a curve such that the effective current direction is reversed between sections. This produces alternating quadrupole field regions along the length of the bend whose individual integral strengths can be tuned by the location of the current polarity transitions. A simple transition scheme to reverse the current between sections can be implemented to allow for the use of one continuous winding and power supply. Dipole windings can be included in the superconducting gantry magnets so that the magnets produce superposed dipole and alternating quadrupole fields. The disclosed design for the windings and transition scheme to reverse current polarity can be implemented for higher order multipoles as well. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosed technology can be used to increase lifetimes of quantum coherent devices such as qubits including transmons and xmons and to reduce the losses in resonators. Energy stored in superconducting devices can be lost by emission of phonons that couple to the environment. Defects in one or more materials in the quantum coherent device can cause the coupling to phonons. Patterning one or more of the layers creates a phononic bandgap that reduces or eliminates the emission of the phonons to the environment. The energy then couples back to the quantum coherent device. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of operating an iron redox flow battery system may comprise fluidly coupling a plating electrode of an iron redox flow battery cell to a plating electrolyte; fluidly coupling a redox electrode of the iron redox flow battery cell to a redox electrolyte; fluidly coupling a ductile plating additive to one or both of the plating electrolyte and the redox electrolyte; and increasing an amount of the ductile plating additive to the plating electrolyte in response to an increase in the plating stress at the plating electrode. In this way, ductile Fe can be plated on the negative electrode, and the performance, reliability and efficiency of the iron redox flow battery can be maintained. In addition, iron can be more rapidly produced and plated at the plating electrode, thereby achieving a higher charging rate for all iron flow batteries. |

| ABSTRACT | A matrix converter system having a current control mode operation is provided. The matrix converter system includes a matrix converter that includes a plurality of switches. A unity current reference vector having an amplitude of one is determined that defines an angle and frequency of an output current vector as a function of a reference phase angle, which is a function of the output current vector and an output voltage vector representing feedback signals of a multiphase signal output to a load. The unity current reference vector is used to control the matrix converter, to cause the output current vector to be aligned with the unity current reference vector. A unity voltage reference vector having an amplitude of one is provided that defines a reference angle and frequency as a function of a zero phase angle. The output voltage vector and the unity voltage reference vector are aligned to determine the reference phase angle as an angle between the aligned output voltage vector and the output current vector. |

| ABSTRACT | Multiple bit values can be encoded on a single photon in a quantum key distribution (QKD) system using a plurality of sidebands of an optical carrier frequency. Computational and conjugate bases can be defined, and photons decoded based on a selected state from either basis. If n sidebands are available, as many as log2 n bits can be encoded on a single photon. Errors in detected bit values due to selection of an incorrect basis state or other errors can be at least partially corrected by bit distillation to identity bit strings for which a transmitter and a receiver record the same values, without insecure transmission of these values. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to new methods to study and control the expression of plant genes, particularly nucleotide sequences located downstream from regions comprising binding sites for transcription factors, such as the cis-element translocon 1 (TL1) comprising GAAGAAGAA and similar sequences. The invention relates to isolated nucleotide sequences comprising a regulatory region comprising a promoter operably-linked to one or more upstream open reading frames (uORFs) and one or more downstream open reading frames (dORFs) encoding one or more functional polypeptides, including transcription factors such as TBF1, reporter polypeptides, and polypeptides conferring resistance to drugs, resistance of plants viral, bacterial, or fungal pathogens, and polypeptides involved in the growth of plants. Related aspects include the use of a region which encodes one or more polypeptides designated uORF1 and uORF2 from Arabidopsis plants, natural and synthetic variants of these polypeptides, and their homologues and orthologues isolated from other plant species, including crop plants, plus vectors, cells, plant propagation material, transgenic plants, and seeds comprising nucleic acids comprising said all or portions of said regulatory region. Other aspects relate to methods of using these regulatory elements to generate and screen for transgenic plants having improved resistance microbial and viral plant pathogens, and engineered cells and plants comprising these one or more of these genetic elements to facilitate the production of proteins for use in structure/function studies, in industrial, medical, and agricultural applications, particularly in the discovery of metabolic pathways involved in the and development of disease-resistant plants. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are field effect transistor-based (FET-based) sensors for the rapid and accurate detection of analytes both in vivo and in vitro. The FET-based sensors can include a substrate, a channel disposed on the substrate, a source electrode and a drain electrode electrically connected to the channel, and a recognition element for an analyte of interest immobilized on the surface of the channel via a linking group. The distance between the recognition element and the channel can be configured such that association of the analyte of interest with the recognition element induces a change in the electrical properties of the channel. In this way, an analyte of interest can be detected by measuring a change in an electrical property of the channel. Also provided are devices, including probes and multi-well plates, incorporating the FET-based sensors. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is an integrated photonics platform is created through the application of a polymer and silicon dioxide mask, multiple anisotropic etchings with inductively-coupled plasma reactive-ion-etching and a brief isotropic silicon etching to produce a a T-shaped silicon base wafer. A silicon-on-insulator donor wafer is bonded to the silicon base wafer a silicon dioxide layer between the two wafers is removed, producing a finalized T-shaped optical waveguide. The T-shaped optical waveguide causes confinement of the optical mode in the upper region of the “T,” above the connection to the post. This shape prevents leakage of light into the silicon wafer. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments relate to a high power supercontinuum (SC) fiber optical source. The SC fiber optical source includes a prebroadening optical fiber that broadens the spectrum of a lower power intermediate optical signal before final amplification. The spectrum broadening creates spectral components which facilitate further spectrum broadening of amplified signal in final nonlinear stage, allowing to achive flatter and wider spectrum, and reduces nonlinear Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) that could damage SC fiber optical source components or limit the output power of the SC fiber optical source signal, thus enabling higher output power. After amplification in booster, passing at least part of broadened spectrum, the optical signal spectrum is further broadened by injecting the optical signal into a nonlinear stage to create a SC optical signal. |

| ABSTRACT | A tuned mass system has a bulk mass acted upon by an excitation amplitude and a reaction mass coupled to the bulk mass. A resistance-to-motion controlled coupling mechanism associated with the reaction mass is configured to proportionally modulate independent of excitation force such that the relative phase of the bulk mass and the reaction mass is substantially constant throughout an extended range of excitation amplitude. The resistance-to-motion controlled coupling mechanism is a Variable Aperture Reciprocating Reed (VARR) Valve in one embodiment, and operates as a passive mechanism. In other embodiments, active resistance-to-motion controlled coupling mechanisms are employed. |

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, March 10, 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:
