| ABSTRACT | Axial stress or similar properties in a stressed tendon or ligament are measured by mechanical excitation of a shear wave in the tendon or ligament measured using ultrasonic displacement techniques at least two different longitudinal positions to derive a shear wave propagation speed. This shear wave propagation speed may be equated to an axial stress on the tissue using a model. Rapidly repeated measurements allow dynamic axial stress measurements to be obtained for clinical study. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to a system and method for dual-energy (DE) or multiple-energy (spectral) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using a configuration of multiple x-ray sources and a single detector. The x-ray sources are operated to produce x-ray spectra of different energies (peak kilovoltage (kVp) and/or filtration). Volumetric 3D image reconstruction and dual or triple energy 3D image decomposition can be executed using data from the CBCT scan. The invention allows for a variety of selections in energy and filtration associated with each source and the order of pulsing for each source (“firing pattern”). The motivation for distributing the sources along the z direction in CBCT includes extension of the longitudinal field of view and reduction of cone-beam artifacts. |

| ABSTRACT | Studies of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying human myopathies and muscular dystrophies often require animal models, but models of some human diseases are not yet available. The present invention provides methods to promote the engraftment and development of myogenic cells from individuals with such diseases into mature muscle tissue in mice to treat muscle diseases, muscle injury and reduced muscle function. Immortalized human myogenic precursor cells (hMPCs) form mature human myofibers following implantation into the hindlimbs of immunodeficient mice. The engraftment of the cells and their development into mature muscle myofibers is promoted by intermittent neuromuscular electrical stimulation (iNMES) of the peroneal nerve of the engrafted limb. The human myofibers that form are innervated, their contractile apparatus is fully differentiated, and they are comprised of human myonuclei, with minimal contamination by murine myonuclei. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to chimeric (including bifunctional) compounds, compositions comprising those compounds and methods of treating cancer in a patient or subject, especially including metastatic cancer where cancer cells exhibit overexpression (heightened expression) of cell surface urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (urokinase receptor) compared to normal (non-cancerous) cells. The compounds bind to the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) on the surface of a cancer cell, including a metastatic cancer cell, and consequently recruit native antibodies of the patient or subject where the antibodies can selectively degrade and/or deactivate targeted cancer cells through antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) against a large number and variety of cancers, thus providing cancer cell death and an inhibition of growth, elaboration and/or metastasis of the cancer, including remission and cure of the patient's cancer. |

| ABSTRACT | A previously unknown T cell receptor (TCR) activation pathway dependent on the aryl hydrocarbon receptor conferring resistance to calcineurin inhibitors and mTOR inhibitors is disclosed, including application of this pathway to the diagnosis and treatment of certain disease states refractory to treatment with calcineurin inhibitors. This alternative TCR activation pathway uniquely exists in a subset of CD8 T cells expanded in the setting of chronic rejection or rheumatoid arthritis. Expansion of this newly discovered calcineurin and mTOR inhibitor resistant CD8 T cell subset in humans can be quantified by measuring levels of certain biomarkers in the circulating CD8 T cell pool, such as Pla2g4a, to diagnose disease states mediated thereby. Additionally, methods for diagnosing ongoing active inflammation mediated by this resistant CD8 T cell subset in either chronic rejection or rheumatoid arthritis are provided, which comprise measuring levels of the biomarker Scin in the circulating CD8 T cell pool. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention comprises chitosan materials and methods of using carbonic acid for aqueous solubilization of neutralized or pre-treated chitosan gels and provides, among other things, substantially acid salt free composition native final forms without requiring subsequent acid salt elution. The invention includes chitosan-based solid and semi-solid material forms, optionally reinforced with chitosan fibers, such as powders, fibers, films, matrices, sponges, implants, scaffolds, fillers, and hydrogels. Native final forms are produced from chitosan powder solubilized in an aqueous acidic solution, processed to form a high pH hydrated chitosan gel precipitate material that is then neutralized by water washing and re-solubilized substantially to chitosan solution using carbonic acid. Chitosan materials can be mixed in solution with one or more of other hydrophilic polymers to create compositional heterogeneity and pharmaceutical agents to achieve controlled release of the agent(s) from the final forms at the site of application. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention relates to sealable short-pathlength liquid transmission cells for Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy applications. In exemplary embodiments, a liquid transmission cell with transmissions sections uses horizontal tubing for inserting and removing fluids from the cell. Angling the tubing relative to a top face of the cell allows small amounts of entrapped air to rise out of the optical path without blocking spectroscopy measurements. The tubing is silver-soldered to the body of the transmission cell to make a leak-free connection. |

| ABSTRACT | An optical imaging system and method for use in a degraded visual environment is provided. A wideband modulated laser pulse is transmitted from a first location through a medium toward a target object. An input of the transmitted wideband modulated laser pulse is detected by an optical receiver. A target modulated laser pulse, reflected from the target object is detected by the optical receiver. The transmitted and reflected laser pulses are filtered by a bandpass filter, based on a predetermined modulated frequency range. The filtered transmitted and reflected laser pulses are digitized by an analog-digital converter. The digitized transmitted laser pulse is correlated with digitized reflected laser pulse by a digital matched filter, wherein the matched filter produces a passband matched filter output. A range of the target object is determined based on the matched filter output. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of nonblocking optical switching includes guiding a first optical beam from a first input to a first output via a first path through an optical switching fabric. The first path traverses a phase shifter disposed between a pair of cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometers. The method also includes receiving a second optical beam for a second path intersecting with the first path through the optical switching fabric. The method also includes moving the first optical beam from the first path to a third path connecting the first input to the first output without intersecting the second path. The method also includes shifting a phase of the first optical beam, with the phase shifter, while moving the first optical beam from the first path to the third path to prevent the first optical beam from interfering with the second optical beam. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for proactive and reactive cognitive control using a neural module. The system calculates, for each hypothesis of a set of hypotheses, a probability that an event will occur. The neural module comprises a plurality of neurons and includes the PC module, a prefrontal cortex (PFC) module, an anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) module, a locus coeruleus (LC) module, and a basal forebrain (BF) module. The set of hypotheses are related to tasks to be performed by a plurality of groups, each group having a corresponding hypothesis. For each probability, the system calculates a conflict value across all hypotheses with the ACC module, compares each conflict value to a predetermined threshold using the BF and LC modules. A determination is made whether to directly output the calculated probability or perform an additional probability calculation and output an updated probability. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and circuit QED implementation of a control-phase quantum logic gate UCP(θ)=diag[1,1,1, eiθ]. Two qubits Qi, two resonators Ra, Rb and a modulator. Q1 and Q2, each has a frequency ωqi and characterized by {circumflex over (σ)}zi. Ra is associated with Q1 and defined by a quantum non-demolition (QND) longitudinal coupling g1z{circumflex over (σ)}1z(â†+â). Rb is integrated into Ra, the QND second longitudinal coupling is defined by Ra as g2z{circumflex over (σ)}2z({circumflex over (b)}†+{circumflex over (b)}) or, when Rb is integrated into Ra, the QND second longitudinal coupling is defined by Ra as g2z{circumflex over (σ)}2z(â†+â) The modulator periodically modulates, at a frequency ωm during a time t, the longitudinal coupling strengths g1z and g2z with respective signals of respective amplitudes {tilde over (g)}1 and {tilde over (g)}2. Selecting a defined value for each of t, g1z and g2z determines θ to specify a quantum logical operation performed by the gate. Q1 and Q2 are decoupled when either one of g1z and g2z is to set to 0. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system for bidirectional edge highlighting. A memory receives an original input image. A processor calculates edge intensity for each edge pixel in the original input image. The processor also identifies strong edges and attenuates said strong edges. The processor can further determine whether the attenuated strong edges should be bright or dark based on the intensity of the pixel in the original image. The processor applies bidirectional edge highlighting to the image based on the intensity of the pixel in the original image. The degree of darkness or brightness of the highlighting is based on the calculated edge intensity after strong edge attenuation. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention enables measurement and visualization of a refractive field such as a fluid. An embodiment device obtains video captured by a video camera with an imaging plane. Representations of apparent motions in the video are correlated to determine actual motions of the refractive field. A textured background of the scene can be modeled as stationary, with a refractive field translating between background and video camera. This approach offers multiple advantages over conventional fluid flow visualization, including an ability to use ordinary video equipment outside a laboratory without particle injection. Even natural backgrounds can be used, and fluid motion can be distinguished from refraction changes. Embodiments can render refractive flow visualizations for augmented reality, wearable devices, and video microscopes. |

| ABSTRACT | A scalable approach for the synthesis of black phosphorus (BP) material thin films over large areas is described. A red phosphorus (RP) material thin film may be deposited on a substrate followed by conversion to a BP material thin film using high-pressure alone or high pressure and high temperature. A thin-film of dielectric material such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) can be formed on a RP material film before the conversion is performed to improve the crystalline quality and stability of the converted BP material. Surprisingly, an atomically sharp and defect-free interface can be formed between the converted BP material and hBN. The BP material has high crystalline uniformity and can be used to fabricate thin-film transistors and optoelectronic devices such as infrared photodetectors. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for underwater communication using a MIMO acoustic channel. An acoustic receiver may receive a signal comprising information encoded in at least one transmitted symbol. Using a two-layer iterative process, the at least one transmitted symbol is estimated. The first layer of the two-layer process uses iterative exchanges of soft-decisions between an adaptive turbo equalizer and a MAP decoder. The second layer of the two-layer process uses a data-reuse procedure that adapts an equalizer vector of both a feedforward filter and a serial interference cancellation filter of the adaptive turbo equalizer using a posteriori soft decisions of the at least one transmitted symbol. After a plurality of iterations, a hard decision of the bits encoded on the at least one transmitted symbol is output from the MAP decoder. |

| ABSTRACT | In time-delay-and-integrate (TDI) imaging, a charge-couple device (CCD) integrates and transfers charge across its columns. Unfortunately, the limited well depth of the CCD limits the dynamic range of the resulting image. Fortunately, TDI imaging can be implemented with a digital focal plane array (DFPA) that includes a detector, analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and counter in each pixel and transfer circuitry connected adjacent pixels. During each integration period in the TDI scan, each detector in the DFPA generates a photocurrent that the corresponding ADC turns into digital pulses, which the corresponding counter counts. Between integration periods, the DFPA transfers the counts from one column to the next, just like in a TDI CCD. The DFPA also non-destructively transfers some or all of the counts to a separate memory. A processor uses these counts to estimate photon flux and correct any rollovers caused by “saturation” of the counters. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods, systems and computer program products to measure system re-taskability are disclosed. The methods, systems and computer program products may be used in the design of a new or redesign of an existing System of Systems (SoS). Systems re-tasking (aka substitutability or stand-in redundancy) is the process of using different systems to substitute for non-operational systems to meet required functionality, or using multi-function systems to fulfill higher-priority tasks. This ability can increase the overall operational availability of the SoS; it can also increase the adaptability and resilience of the SoS to unknown or changing conditions. The disclosed methods, systems and computer products include simulating an SoS over time, replacing systems that become non-operational (or damaged) with systems that can fulfill the same capability in order to maximize the SoS availability. |

| ABSTRACT | Improved deposition of optoelectronically active perovskite materials is provided with a two step process. In the first step, precursors are deposited on a substrate. In the second step, the deposited precursors are exposed to an atmospheric pressure plasma which efficiently cures the precursors to provide the desired perovskite thin film. The resulting films can have excellent optical properties combined with superior mechanical properties. |

| ABSTRACT | A network analysis tool evaluates network flow information in complementary workflows to identify one-hop behavior of network assets and also identify multi-hop dependencies between network assets. In one workflow (e.g., using association rule learning), the network analysis tool can identify significant one-hop communication patterns to and/or from network assets, taken individually. Based on the identified one-hop behavior, the network analysis tool can discover patterns of similar communication among different network assets, which can inform decisions about deploying patch sets, mitigating damage, configuring a system, or detecting anomalous behavior. In a different workflow (e.g., using deep learning or cross-correlation analysis), the network analysis tool can identify significant multi-hop communication patterns that involve network assets in combination. Based on the identified multi-hop dependencies, the network analysis tool can discover functional relationships between network assets, which can inform decisions about configuring a system, managing critical network assets, or protecting critical network assets. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for attenuating seismic forces includes a reactor pressure vessel containing nuclear fuel and a containment vessel that houses the reactor pressure vessel. Both the reactor pressure vessel and the containment vessel include a bottom head. Additionally, the system includes a base support to contact a support surface on which the containment vessel is positioned in a substantially vertical orientation. An attenuation device is located between the bottom head of the reactor pressure vessel and the bottom head of the containment vessel. Seismic forces that travel from the base support to the reactor pressure vessel via the containment vessel are attenuated by the attenuation device in a direction that is substantially lateral to the vertical orientation of the containment vessel. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to systems and methods for sequencing nucleic acids, including sequencing nucleic acids in fluidic droplets. In one set of embodiments, the method employs sequencing by hybridization using droplets such as microfluidic droplets. In some embodiments, droplets are formed which include a target nucleic acid, a nucleic acid probe, and at least one identification element, such as a fluorescent particle. The nucleic acid probes that hybridize to the target nucleic acid are determined, in some instances, by determining the at least one identification element. The nucleic acid probes that hybridize to the target nucleic acid may be used to determine the sequence of the target nucleic acid. In certain instances, the microfluidic droplets are provided with reagents that modify the nucleic acid probe. In some cases, a droplet, such as those described above, is deformed such that the components of the droplets individually pass a target area. |

| ABSTRACT | An in-line holographic microscope can be used to analyze on a frame-by-frame basis a video stream to track individual colloidal particles' three-dimensional motions. The system and method can provide real time nanometer resolution, and simultaneously measure particle sizes and refractive indexes. Through a combination of applying a combination of Lorenz-Mie analysis with selected hardware and software methods, this analysis can be carried out in near real time. An efficient particle identification methodology automates initial position estimation with sufficient accuracy to enable unattended holographic tracking and characterization. |

| ABSTRACT | A scalable approach for the synthesis of black phosphorus (BP) material thin films over large areas is described. A red phosphorus (RP) material thin film may be deposited on a substrate followed by conversion to a BP material thin film using high-pressure alone or high pressure and high temperature. A thin-film of dielectric material such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) can be formed on a RP material film before the conversion is performed to improve the crystalline quality and stability of the converted BP material. Surprisingly, an atomically sharp and defect-free interface can be formed between the converted BP material and hBN. The BP material has high crystalline uniformity and can be used to fabricate thin-film transistors and optoelectronic devices such as infrared photodetectors. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for underwater communication using a MIMO acoustic channel. An acoustic receiver may receive a signal comprising information encoded in at least one transmitted symbol. Using a two-layer iterative process, the at least one transmitted symbol is estimated. The first layer of the two-layer process uses iterative exchanges of soft-decisions between an adaptive turbo equalizer and a MAP decoder. The second layer of the two-layer process uses a data-reuse procedure that adapts an equalizer vector of both a feedforward filter and a serial interference cancellation filter of the adaptive turbo equalizer using a posteriori soft decisions of the at least one transmitted symbol. After a plurality of iterations, a hard decision of the bits encoded on the at least one transmitted symbol is output from the MAP decoder. |

| ABSTRACT | Aerogels, aerogel composites and methods of making the same are discussed. One example method can include the act of creating a Boehmite colloid and adding a hydrolyzed silicon precursor to form a sol. A reinforcement can be infused with the sol, gelled to form a gel, then dried to form an aerogel composite. Such a method can also include the acts of performing one or more solvent exchanges and subjecting the gel composite to subcritical drying. Additionally, such a method can include the act of heat treating the aerogel composite. The aerogel composite can be used in high temperature, flexible seals capable of withstanding temperatures, pressures, and compression levels associated with aerodynamic heating generated during flight and in aerospace applications. The aerogel composite also can be used in thermal protection systems designed for fire protection for structures or in personnel fire protective equipment. |

| ABSTRACT | A tool for demating multi-pin connectors includes a first fork including an inner fork member and an outer fork member operatively connected for relative movement parallel to a longitudinal fork axis. A second fork is spaced apart from the first fork wherein the second fork includes an inner fork member and an outer fork member operatively connected for relative movement parallel to the longitudinal fork axis. A handle connects the first fork to the second fork. The handle includes an outer handle member fixedly connecting the outer fork members of the first and second forks, and the handle includes an inner handle member fixedly connecting the inner fork members of the first and second forks. Relative movement of the inner and outer handle members causes relative movement of the inner and outer fork members of the first and second forks for demating multi-pin electrical connectors from sockets. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for proactive and reactive cognitive control using a neural module. The system calculates, for each hypothesis of a set of hypotheses, a probability that an event will occur. The neural module comprises a plurality of neurons and includes the PC module, a prefrontal cortex (PFC) module, an anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) module, a locus coeruleus (LC) module, and a basal forebrain (BF) module. The set of hypotheses are related to tasks to be performed by a plurality of groups, each group having a corresponding hypothesis. For each probability, the system calculates a conflict value across all hypotheses with the ACC module, compares each conflict value to a predetermined threshold using the BF and LC modules. A determination is made whether to directly output the calculated probability or perform an additional probability calculation and output an updated probability. |

| ABSTRACT | A microscopic collection device, method for collecting a microscopic sample from a target surface, and the work stand for holding the microscopic collection device are provided. The microscopic collection device includes a holding element comprising a handle at one end and a collection platform connected to the holding element at a second end. The collection platform includes a collection surface on which the microscopic sample is deposited when the microscopic collection device comes into contact with the target surface. A tape is inserted through a slit and wrapped around the collection platform. The work stand includes a slit capable of holding the microscopic collection device such that the collection platform is perpendicular to the top surface of the work stand. A microscopic sample, collected using the microscopic collection device, is not only collected from the target surface but is also concentrated onto the collection face of the tape. Removal of the collection face of the tape excludes excess tape that would disrupt downstream analysis of the microscopic sample. |

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, April 28, 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.
