| ABSTRACT | A composite adsorbent material includes a component that creates a localized electric field and a porous material where adsorption occurs, wherein the localized electric field extends into the porous material. The localized electric field created by the component controls adsorption properties of the porous material. The porous material may be microporous. The component may include ferroelectric material including a β-phase of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and wherein the porous material may include any of zeolites, silicas, activated carbons, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The MOFs may include any of HKUST-1, UiO-66, and UiO-66-NH2. The β-phase of PVDF and the HKUST-1 may be electrospun together. The β-phase of PVDF includes aligned polymer chains that create the localized electric field extending within the porous material. The localized electric field enhances adsorption of an adsorbate, particularly a non-polar adsorbate such as oxygen or carbon dioxide, to the porous material. |

| ABSTRACT | Engineered transcriptional activator-like effectors (TALEs) are versatile tools for genome manipulation with applications in research and clinical contexts. One current drawback of TALEs is that the 5′ nucleotide of the target is specific for thymine (T). TALE domains with alternative 5′ nucleotide specificities could expand the scope of DNA target sequences that can be bound by TALEs. This disclosure provides methods and strategies for the continuous evolution of proteins comprising DNA-binding domains, e.g., TALE domains. In some aspects, this disclosure provides methods and strategies for evolving such proteins under positive selection for a desired DNA-binding activity and/or under negative selection against one or more undesired (e.g., off-target) DNA-binding activities. Some aspects of this disclosure provide engineered TALE domains and TALEs comprising such engineered domains, e.g., TALE nucleases (TALENs), TALE transcriptional activators, TALE transcriptional repressors, and TALE epigenetic modification enzymes, with altered 5′ nucleotide specificities of target sequences. Engineered TALEs that target ATM with greater specificity are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | The impact angle of a small caliber projectile is determined by accurately measuring the orientation angle of the projectile in flight and modeling epicyclical flight of the projectile. To measure the orientation angle, a projectile is fired along a trajectory within a test gantry. One or more sets of cameras captures images of the projectile in flight. The images are processed using computer vision to measure the position and orientation angle at each station. Calibration of the test equipment prior to the test firing of the projectile, allows for determination of these points in the 3d space of the test fixture. Aeroballistic models are fit to the orientation history. From these models, an impact angle is extrapolated. |

| ABSTRACT | The systems and methods described herein provide a vehicular force absorption system that includes an interference damper that couples a vehicle external hull with a vehicle floor that is spaced apart from the vehicle external hull. The interference damper includes a common member having a first breakaway member coupled or connected to a second breakaway member. The coupling or connection between the first breakaway member and the second breakaway member may have a defined yield point at which the first breakaway member separates from the second breakaway member when subjected to a tensile force. The interference damper further includes a plurality of curved members that provide a resistive force against the separation of the first breakaway member and the second breakaway member. The resistive force provided by the interference damper beneficially reduces the force exerted on personnel and/or cargo in contact with the vehicle floor. |

| ABSTRACT | A mechanism is disclosed for reconstructing trimmed surfaces whose underlying spline surfaces intersect in model space, so that the reconstructed version of each original trimmed surface is geometrically close to the original trimmed surface, and so that the boundary of each respective reconstructed version includes a model space trim curve that approximates the geometric intersection of the underlying spline surfaces. Thus, the reconstructed versions will meet in a continuous fashion along the model space curve. The mechanism may operate on already trimmed surfaces such as may be available in a boundary representation object model, or, on spline surfaces that are to be trimmed, e.g., as part of a Boolean operation in a computer-aided design system. The ability to create objects with surface-surface intersections that are free of gaps liberates a whole host of downstream industries to perform their respective applications without the burdensome labor of gap repair, and thus, multiplies the efficacy of those industries. |

| ABSTRACT | A multilayer polymer dielectric film includes a stack of coextruded, alternating first dielectric layers and second dielectric layers that receive electrical charge. The first dielectric layers include a first polymer material and the second dielectric layers include a second polymer material different from the first polymer material. The first polymer material has a permittivity greater than the second polymer material. The second polymer material has a breakdown strength greater than the first polymer material. Adjoining first dielectric layers and second dielectric layers define an interface between the layers that delocalizes electrical charge build-up in the layers. The stack has substantially the crystallographic symmetry before and during receiving electrical charge. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrostatic analyzer (ESA) includes a coaxial structure having an outer conductive cylinder, an inner conductive cylinder, and one or more pathways disposed therebetween and extending from a first end to a second end of the coaxial structure. The outer conductive cylinder and the inner conductive cylinder may each be structurally configured to receive a bias voltage for creation of a predetermined electric field therebetween that allows for passage of charged particles with a predetermined energy/charge band along a helical path through the coaxial structure. The ESA may further include an entrance filter on the first end of the coaxial structure that defines a plurality of openings aligned at a predetermined angle thereby limiting one or more fields of view between a pathway through the ESA and the external environment to filter particles, by their trajectory, from entering the pathway for analysis by the ESA. |

| ABSTRACT | An improved system and method for generating high Voltage within an ESAD munition fuze is provided. Conventionally, high voltage transformer conversion circuits used within ESAD munition fuzes utilize a flyback, or step-up transformer. The use of a flyback, or step-up transformer reveal technical limitations when used for the application of increasing arm charge times, voltage conversion efficiency, and power conversion efficiency for ESAD munition fuze applications. Alternatively, the use of a high voltage inductor conversion circuit utilizing an inductor, in combination with a switching transistor allows for a new and improved low cost method for improving ESAD munition fuze applications with respect to generating high voltage from a low voltage source onto a detonator firing capacitor to trigger a Low Energy Explosive Foil Initiator (LEEFI) within an ESAD munition fuze. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is a transceiver that includes a three-dimensional array of Josephson junctions. When transmitting, the junctions drive an array of micro-antennas. When receiving, the micro-antennas drive the array of Josephson junctions. By extending the junction array into the third dimension, this transceiver packages a large number of Josephson junctions into a small volume, thus increasing the power of a transmitted beam. Multiple different micro-antenna arrays can be included, thus allowing the transceiver to work efficiently at multiple frequency ranges. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and devices suitable for monitoring the frequency of microwave tunable filters in real time. The frequency readout relies on the natural response of such a filter when excited by a pulse. Methods of measuring an operating frequency of a pole in a tunable filter include measuring a number of cycles in a natural response in the filter when the filter is excited by an electric current pulse, and determining a resonance frequency based on the number of cycles measured in the natural response. Such a method can provide the operating frequency information in a binary digital format, making it relatively easy to read and process. A measuring resonator may be mounted to the filter resonator and connected by a common actuator. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for dynamically determining an optimal node of an overlay network for client attachment. An optimal node can be selected from a group of potential attachment nodes in the overlay network through which a client can establish a connection to the overlay network. Network parameter training data can be determined and used to train a network optimization model. Once trained, the network optimization model can be used to determine—based on network parameter data associated with the group of potential attachment nodes—the optimal node for the client to attach to. If a different node than a current attachment node is determined to be a new optimal node, a connection path can be established between this new optimal node and the client, and an existing connection path between the client and the previous optimal node can be terminated or simultaneously maintained. |

| ABSTRACT | Conventional methods for imaging transient targets are constrained by a trade-off between resolution and frame rate, and transient targets moving faster than the detector frame typically result in image blurring. Imagers using digital-pixel focal plane arrays (“DFPAs”) have on-chip global pixel operation capability for extracting a single transient-feature (i.e., single-frequency discrimination) in a snapshot that depends on the number of counters implemented per pixel. However, these DFPA systems are not capable of multi-target and multi-frequency discrimination. Imagers described herein achieve multi-target transient signature discrimination orders of magnitude faster than the readout frame rate using in-pixel electronic shuttering with a known time-encoded modulation. Three-dimensional (x,y,t) data cube reconstruction is performed using compressive sensing algorithms. |

| ABSTRACT | Certain embodiments comprise administering a residence structure to a subject (e.g., a patient) such that the residence structure is retained at a location internal to the subject for a particular amount of time (e.g., at least about 24 hours) before being released. In certain embodiments, the structure has a modular design, combining a material configured for controlled release of therapeutic, diagnostic, and/or enhancement agents with a structural material necessary for gastric residence but configured for controlled and/or tunable degradation/dissolution to determine the time at which retention shape integrity is lost and the structure passes out of the gastric cavity. For example, in certain embodiments, the residence structure comprises a first elastic component, a second component configured to release an active substance, and, optionally, a linker. In some such embodiments, the linker may be configured to degrade. |

| ABSTRACT | An alternative approach to formation of a C—C bond at a meta-position of an aromatic compound is disclosed that employs an ethylenically unsaturated bicyclic compound as a transient mediator to achieve meta-selective C—H activation with a simple and common ortho-directing group. The use of a pyridine-based ligand assists in relaying the palladium catalyst to the meta-position by the unsaturated bicyclic compound following initial ortho-C—H activation. |

| ABSTRACT | Reactions that directly install nitrogen into C—H bonds of complex molecules are significant because of their potential to change the chemical and biological properties of a given compound. Selective intramolecular C—H amination reactions that achieve high levels of reactivity, while maintaining excellent site-selectivity and functional-group tolerance is a challenging problem. Herein is reported a manganese perchlorophthalocyanine catalyst [MnIII(ClPc)] for intermolecular benzylic C—H amination of bioactive molecules and natural products that proceeds with unprecedented levels of reactivity and site-selectivity. In the presence of Brønsted or Lewis acid, the [MnIII(ClPc)]-catalyzed C—H amination demonstrates unique tolerance for tertiary amine, pyridine and benzimidazole functionalities. Mechanistic studies indicate that C—H amination proceeds through an electrophilic metallonitrene intermediate via a stepwise pathway where C—H cleavage is the rate-determining step of the reaction. Collectively these mechanistic features contrast previous base-metal catalyzed C—H aminations. The catalyst can be a compound of Formula I: |

| ABSTRACT | An approach is presented to recontruct image data for an object using a partial set of magnetic resonance (MR) measurements. A subset of data points in a data space representing an object are selected (e.g. through random sampling) for MR data acquisition. Partial MR data corresponding to the subset of data points is received and used for image reconstruction. The overall speed of image reconstruction can be reduced dramatically by relying on acquisition of data for the subset of data points rather than for all data points in the data space representing the object. Compressive sensing type arguments are used to fill in missing measurements, using a priori knowledge of the structure of the data. A compressed data matrix can be recovered from measurements that form a tight frame. It can be established that these measurements satisfy the restricted isometry property (RIP). The zeroth-order regularization minimization problem can then be solved, for example, using a 2D ILT approach. |

| ABSTRACT | Example apparatus and methods employ an artificial neural network (ANN) to automatically design magnetic resonance (MR) pulse sequences. The ANN is trained using transverse magnetization signal evolutions having arbitrary initial magnetizations. The trained up ANN may then produce an array of signal evolutions associated with a pulse sequence having user selectable pulse sequence parameters that vary in degrees of freedom associated with magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF). Efficient and accurate approaches are provided for predicting user controllable MR pulse sequence settings including, but not limited to, acquisition period and flip angle (FA). The acquisition period and FA may be different in different sequence blocks in the pulse sequence produced by the ANN. Predicting user controllable MR pulse sequence settings for both conventional MR and MRF facilitates achieving desired signal characteristics from a signal evolution produced in response to an automatically generated pulse sequence. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from a gas stream is disclosed, in which the gas stream is reacted with a lean aminosilicone solvent in an absorber, resulting in a rich aminosilicone solvent that is then treated in a desorber to release the CO2 and regenerate lean aminosilicone solvent in a desorption reaction. The regenerated solvent is directed into a steam-producing, indirect heat exchanger that is configured to supply steam to the desorber at a temperature high enough to augment the desorption reaction. Also, selected amounts of make-up water are added to the rich aminosilicone solvent at one or more process locations between the absorber and the desorber, to lower the viscosity of the solvent and to lower the temperature required for the desorption reaction. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatuses, and methods for achieving balanced execution in a multi-node cluster through runtime detection of performance variation are described. During a training phase, performance counters and an amount of time spent waiting for synchronization is monitored for a plurality of tasks for each node of the multi-node cluster. These values are utilized to generate a model which correlates the values of the performance counters to the amount of time spent waiting for synchronization. Once the model is built, the values of the performance counters are monitored for a period of time at the start of each task, and these values are input into the model. The model generates a prediction of whether a given node is on the critical path. If the given node is predicted to be on the critical path, the power allocation of the given node is increased. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques, systems, and devices are disclosed for non-invasive monitoring and imaging of nuclear fuel inside a nuclear reactor using muon detector arrays. In one aspect, these detector arrays are placed outside the reactor vessel or building for investigating the reactors without access to the cores, therefore the imaging process is non-invasive. In some implementation, these detector arrays measure both muon scattering and absorption to enable imaging and characterizing not only the very high-Z fuel materials, but also other materials in the reactor, thereby obtaining a more complete picture of reactor status. When applied to damaged reactors, the disclosed proposed techniques, systems, and devices, through the process of providing an image, can reveal the presence (or absence) of damage to fuel rod assemblies or puddles of molten fuel at the bottom of the containment vessel, thus providing crucial information to guide decisions about remedial actions. |

| ABSTRACT | Technologies pertaining to the calibration of ultra-wide-band active-electronically-scanned arrays to compensate for transmit and receive mutual coupling between array elements and/or non-ideal isolated channels are described herein. A plurality of near-field measurements are taken by way of probe or probes that may be moved among a plurality of positions aligned with respective elements in the array. For each position of the probe, each of the elements of the array is stimulated to transmit or receive a calibration signal to or from the probe, respectively. Frequency-domain transfer functions are computed from the received signals by the probe or the element for each of the array elements in each of the positions of the probe. The inverse of the matrix of transfer functions comprise frequency-domain transmit and receive correction factors that are used to modify desired array inputs/outputs such that the modified signals correct for mutual coupling between elements in the array. |

| ABSTRACT | The activation of the C—H bond using low temperature plasma with an inlet liquid stream such that value added products are formed effectively. An organic liquid (e.g., hexane which is immiscible with liquid water) is injected into a flowing gas (argon) stream followed by mixing with a liquid water stream. Thereafter, the mixture contacts a plasma region formed by a pulsed electric discharge. The plasma formed with the flowing liquid and gas between the two electrodes causes chemical reactions that generate various compounds. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for generating designs of objects for additive manufacturing (AM) include a topological optimization framework that facilitates optimized computer generated designs requiring significantly reduced support structures. Towards this end, the concept of ‘support structure topological sensitivity’ is introduced. This is combined with performance sensitivity to result in a TO framework that maximizes performance, subject to support structure constraints. The robustness and efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical experiments, and validated through fused deposition modeling, a popular AM process. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention introduces an indoor person identification system that utilizes the capture and analysis of footstep induced structural vibrations. The system senses floor vibration and detects the signal induced by footsteps. Then the system then extracts features from the signal that represent characteristics of each person's unique gait pattern. With these extracted features, the system conducts hierarchical classification at an individual step level and at a collection of consecutive steps level, achieving high degree of accuracy in the identification of individuals. |

| ABSTRACT | Various embodiments to mitigate the contamination of electroplated cobalt-platinum films on substrates are described. In one embodiment, a device includes a substrate, a titanium nitride diffusion barrier layer formed upon the substrate, a titanium layer formed upon the titanium nitride diffusion barrier layer, a platinum seed layer, and a cobalt-platinum magnetic layer formed upon the platinum seed layer. Based in part on the use of the titanium nitride diffusion barrier layer and/or the platinum seed layer, improvements in the interfaces between the layers can be achieved after annealing, with less delamination, and with substantial improvements in the magnetic properties of the cobalt-platinum magnetic layer. Further, the cobalt-platinum magnetic layer can be formed at a relatively thin thickness of hundreds of nanometers to a few microns while still maintaining good magnetic properties. |

| ABSTRACT | Examples of the present invention include unreleased coupled multi-cavity resonators and transmission filters. In some examples, the resonators include resonant cavities coupled by acoustic couplers (ABGCs) and acoustic reflectors (ABRs). These acoustic components enable improved confinement of acoustic modes within the resonator to increase the quality factor (Q) and lower the motional resistance (Rx). A coupled resonator with 5 cavities coupled by 4 ABGCs can achieve a Q of 1095 while a single-cavity resonator of the same device size has a Q of 760. In some examples, the devices can be configured to work as electronic transmission filters in at least two types of filter configurations. In the transmission line filter configuration, the device can include a filter structure in an arrangement (LH)N H (LH)N, defined as a Fabry-Perot Resonator (FPR). In the multi-pole filter configuration, the device can include a filter structure in an arrangement similar to the multi-cavity resonator design. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system for rendering the quaternion shape and orientation of a three-dimensional structure. The proposed system and method keeps track of twist/roll angles and updates its effect on pitch and yaw orientations. The system relies on a single or multi-core optical fiber or multi-fiber bundle containing fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBGs) arrayed in rosettes at 45° deltas and spaced at uniform intervals along the entire length of the structure to be monitored. A tunable laser is used to interrogate the sensors using optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR), which detects shifts in the wavelength reflected by the sensors in response to strain on the fibers. Each sensor is continuously queried by software which determines the strain magnitude (ΔL/L) for each fiber at a given triplet. Given these measured strain values, the software implements a novel quaternion approach to rendering the 3D shape of the fiber including twist. |

| ABSTRACT | A weather forecasting system has a data processing system that receives weather data from one or more sources and processes such data in conjunction with a weather forecasting algorithm in order to forecast weather for one or more geographic regions. In this regard, the weather data is input into a machine learning algorithm, which applies learned weights and relationships to the inputs in order to calculate at least one score indicating a probability that precipitation or other weather event will occur in the future within a certain time period (e.g., within the next 1 hour or some other unit of time) in one or more geographic regions. For each such geographic region, the weather forecasting logic may also predict the extent to which rain or other precipitation, lightning, or other weather event will occur during the time period. |

| ABSTRACT | One example of a system includes an optical modulator, a push-pull driver, and a compensation circuit. The optical modulator has a nonlinear capacitance. The push-pull driver is electrically coupled across the optical modulator. The push-pull driver charges the capacitance in response to a logic ‘1’ of a level-shifted differential signal and discharges the capacitance in response to a logic ‘0’ of the level-shifted differential signal. The compensation circuit increases the speed of the discharge of the capacitance in response to the level-shifted differential signal transitioning from a logic ‘1’ to a logic ‘0’. |

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.
