| ABSTRACT | Mesothelin is a differentiation antigen present on the surface of ovarian cancers, mesotheliomas and several other types of human cancers. Because among normal tissues, mesothelin is only present on mesothelial cells, it represents a good target for antibody mediated delivery of cytotoxic agents. The present invention is directed to improved recombinant immunotoxins comprising anti-mesothelin antibodies, including Fv molecules with particularly high affinity for mesothelin, and a Pseudomonas Exotoxin moiety which has been modified to reduce its immunogenicity and protease sensitivity and providing a better cytotoxicity for cells which express mesothelin. The RITs are well-suited for the treatment of cancers of the ovary, stomach, squamous cells, mesotheliomas and other malignant cells expressing mesothelin. |

| ABSTRACT | A bioreactor system for preparing a cardiac organoid chamber and for subsequent testing thereof is described herein and shown in the exemplary drawing figures. The bioreactor system includes a first vessel having a hollow interior and an open top. A first cover is mated with the open top of the first vessel. The first cover has a first opening formed therein. The system further includes a cannula having a lumen that extends from an open first end to an open second end. The cannula is disposed within the first opening of the first cover such that a portion of the cannula lies below the first cover and for insertion into the hollow interior of the first vessel. A porous ring is coupled to the cannula at or proximate the open second end thereof. The system also includes a balloon catheter having an inflatable balloon at a distal end of a catheter shaft. The balloon catheter is adapted to pass through the lumen of the cannula when the balloon is in a deflated state. The balloon catheter is axially adjustable within the lumen to allow the balloon in an inflated state to be disposed adjacent: (1) the open second end of the cannula; and (2) the porous ring for preparing the cardiac organoid chamber about the inflated balloon and porous ring. The cannula and porous ring construction and combination allows for the balloon to be deflated and removed from the lumen of the cannula while the engineered cardiac organoid chamber remains attached to the porous ring. This permits the testing of organoid pump function, such as organoid pressure and volume characteristics, without having to transfer the engineered cardiac organoid from one tool (e.g., an incubation tool) to another tool (e.g., a functional testing apparatus). |

| ABSTRACT | The subject invention provides methods, assays, and products for detecting small molecules in a sample, in particular, in both clinical and field settings. The method for detecting a small-molecule target, preferably, a synthetic cathinone in a sample comprises contacting the sample with an aptamer-based sensor selective for the small-molecule target, and detecting the small-molecule target in the sample. Specifically, the method utilizes an aptamer-based sensor comprising a dye binding to a three-way junction binding domain of an aptamer. Binding of small-molecule target to the aptamer displaces the dye, generating a spectroscopic signal that can be used for detection of the small-molecule target and quantitative measurement of the target concentration. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for designing one or more multichannel, multiband radio frequency (“RF”) pulses for use with a magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) system is provided. The method includes determining a number of RF amplitude modulations and a number of RF phase modulations for each channel in a multichannel RF coil by minimizing an objective function that includes a complex-valued vector. The objective function also contains a system matrix that accounts for both a spatial sensitivity profile of each channel in the multichannel RF coil and a magnetic field map for each excitation band in the multiband RF pulse. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for producing pseudo-CT images using a dual flip angle multi-echo ultra-short echo time (DUFA-MUTE) MRI method are disclosed. The DUFA-MUTE MRI imaging method includes obtaining MR signals according to a DUFA-MUTE MRI sequence that includes first and second multiple ultrashort echo time (MUTE) sequence characterized by first and second flip angles FA1/FA2, and in which both MUTE sequences obtain MR signals at first and second echo times TE1/TE2. HU values are assigned to each imaged voxel based on each voxel's R1 value calculated from the MR signals, as well as each voxel's assigned tissue type. The imaged voxels and assigned HU values are combined to produce a pseudo-CT image. Pseudo-CT images optionally form the basis for attenuation maps suitable for use in combined PET/MRI systems and/or electron density maps suitable for use in radiation therapy systems. |

| ABSTRACT | Improved motion correction for magnetic resonance imaging is provided. An MR imaging method provides a first sequence of MR images and a second sequence of MR images where: 1) the two sequences are inherently spatially co-registered and synchronous with each other; 2) the first sequence includes signal variation due to one or more causes other than motion or deformation; and 3) the second sequence does not include the signal variation of the first sequence. In this situation, the second sequence can be used to perform motion correction for the first sequence. One example of this approach is Dixon MR imaging, where the water images are the first sequence and the fat images are the second sequence. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques and systems are described for detecting malware's bulk transformation of a user's data before the malware is able to complete the data transformation. Included are methods and systems for enabling malware detection by monitoring the file operations of a computer application or process for particular kinds of suspicious data transformation indicators. Indicators include primary indicators, such as file-type signature changes, notable changes in file data entropy, and out-of-range similarity measurements between the read and write versions of file data, as well as secondary indicators, such as a large number of file deletions and a large reduction in the number of file-types written versus read by a process over time. When indicators are triggered by a process, an adjustment to the process' malware score is made; in the event that the process' malware score reaches a malware detection threshold, the process is marked as malware and appropriate actions are taken. |

| ABSTRACT | A method, system, and computer program product include aiming a light source at an object, where the light source is communicatively coupled to the processor, and where the light source and the image capture device are both positioned at pre-defined distances from a the object and are not in contact with the object. The processor enables the image capture device, to capture measurements of reflected light, where the reflected light comprises the light from the source as the light is reflected out of the object, where the image capture device is communicatively coupled to the processor, and where an image comprises the measurements. The processor obtains the image and locates data indicating a center of the light source in the image. The processor extracts intensities of the reflected light at a pixel location measured to be a predefined distance from the center of the light source in the image. |

| ABSTRACT | A freestanding coating membrane is fabricated and is tested for ionic transport. An adhesive liner is situated on a flat surface, paint is poured on the liner, a leveling blade is used to impart a uniform thickness to the uncured paint, the paint when completely cured is peeled from the liner, and the thickness of the resultant freestanding membrane is measured. Saline water is placed in an open-ended reservoir in communication with an assembly holding the freestanding membrane and containing deionized water. A pump causes water to circulate through the assembly via a conduit, which is connected at both ends to the assembly. The electrical conductivity of the circulating water is monitored for an appropriate duration for indication of salt concentration. The conductivity is initially low because the circulating water is originally deionized, and gradually increases commensurately with the amount of salt (e.g., chloride) ions passing through the membrane. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects of a biosensor platform system and method are described. In one embodiment, the biosensor platform system includes a fluidic system and tunneling biosensor interface coupled to the fluidic system. The tunneling biosensor interface may include a transducing electrode array having at least one dielectric thin film deposited on an electrode array. The biosensor platform system may further include processing logic operatively coupled to the transducing electrode array. In operation, the application of an electromagnetic field at an interface between an electrode and an electrolyte in the system, for example, may result in the transfer of charge across the interface. The transfer of charge is, in turn, characterized by electromagnetic field-mediated tunneling of electrons that may be assisted by exchange of energy with thermal vibrations at the interface. Various analytes, for example, and other compositions can be identified by analysis of the transfer of charge. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method of operating an electrochemical mirror for reversibly controlling the propagation of electromagnetic radiation. The mirror preferably includes a first electrode transmissive substrate which is substantially transparent to the electromagnetic radiation, a second electrode, and an electrolyte containing metal ions between the pair of electrodes. A first cathodic potential is applied across the electrodes to cause the metal ions from the electrolyte to electrodeposit a mirror film on the first electrode transmissive substrate. A second anodic potential is applied across the electrodes to oxidize and strip the metallic mirror film from the first electrode transmissive electrode. After a plurality of deposition and stripping cycles, a cleaning cycle is initiated to remove undissolved reflective material on the first electrode preferably by applying a third potential across the first and second electrodes which is increased to a fourth potential and then decreased back to the third potential. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed embodiments relate to an indirect memory fetch (IMF) unit. In one example, an apparatus includes circuitry to fetch and decode an instruction specifying a sparse operand array including N operands, and an index array including N contiguously-addressed indices. The apparatus further includes a processing engine associated with an IMF unit to respond to the decoded instruction by initializing the IMF unit to fetch the N operands in order, probing the IMF unit to determine that a fetched operand is ready to retrieve, retrieving the fetched operand from the IMF unit, and repeating the probing and retrieving until all N operands have been retrieved. The IMF unit, independent of the processing engine, is to fetch the N contiguously-addressed indices from the index array, use the N fetched indices to calculate memory addresses for the N operands, and issue a plurality of read requests to fetch the N operands in order. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method that automatically detects anomalies in a cloud service system on an ongoing basis and which can be used to trigger live migration of cloud services includes a cloud server system configured to provide a plurality of virtualized cloud services through processes running over a set of virtual machines hosted on the cloud server system, and a processor which receives data related to the operations of the virtual machines and determines whether any of the virtual machines are exhibiting anomalous behavior. The processor applies a Kalman Filter to make predictions on the future state and covariance of the virtual machines and then calculates the log likelihood of the predicted values. If the predicted values deemed to be very unlikely, then the processor signals that an anomaly has occurred. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed and described herein are smart, high-speed UV communication protocols, inspired by the biological principles. The disclosed and described protocols use a ‘pipe’ routing topology to deliver large amount of data among the UVs equipped with multi-beam antennas. The disclosed and described embodiments include bio-inspired pipe routing and adaptive batch coding (ABC) based congestion control. In regard to bio-inspired pipe routing, a human's brain uses highly cooperative neuro cells to memorize everything. Inspired by neuro networks, a pipe architecture with high-throughput node-to-node data delivery is disclosed and described herein. The pipe routing uses multi-beam antennas to achieve parallel data transmission. In regard to ABC based congestion control, a new network coding called ABC is disclosed, which can minimize traffic congestion occurrences in the above pipe routing. The disclosed and described transport layer protocol includes both end-to-end reliability and congestion control. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for prediction of state of charge (SOH), state of health (SOC) and other characteristics of batteries using acoustic signals, includes determining acoustic data at two or more states of charge and determining a reduced acoustic data set representative of the acoustic data at the two or more states of charge. The reduced acoustic data set includes time of flight (TOF) shift, total signal amplitude, or other data points related to the states of charge. Machine learning models use at least the reduced acoustic dataset in conjunction with non-acoustic data such as voltage and temperature for predicting the characteristics of any other independent battery. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques are disclosed for stabilizing soft specimen traditionally considered too fragile for APT instruments. These specimens include biological samples, polymers and other fragile materials. For this purpose, a protective structure is disclosed that surrounds the sides of the specimen by supporting walls while only exposing the very end or terminus of the specimen to the electrostatic field of the APT instrument. The protective structure may take the form of a nanoscale conical grinder which continually machines the specimen to regenerate the terminus of the specimen in-situ. Alternately, the protective structure may take the form of a nanopipette in which the specimen is first frozen before undergoing field evaporation together with the tip of the nanopipette. Heretofore only routinely possible for rigid and hard materials, the design thus extends APT analysis to produce three-dimensional atomic-scale maps of soft specimens. |

| ABSTRACT | Improved high energy capacity designs for lithium ion batteries are described that take advantage of the properties of high specific capacity anode active compositions and high specific capacity cathode active compositions. In particular, specific electrode designs provide for achieving very high energy densities. Furthermore, the complex behavior of the active materials is used advantageously in a radical electrode balancing design that significantly reduced wasted electrode capacity in either electrode when cycling under realistic conditions of moderate to high discharge rates and/or over a reduced depth of discharge. |

| ABSTRACT | A device for measuring pH levels and contaminant concentration includes an electrode assembly that is electrically coupled to a control unit. The electrode assembly includes a first contact electrically coupled to a reference electrode, a second contact electrically coupled to a working electrode, and a third contact electrically coupled to a counter electrode. The working electrode may be modified to include a cysteine functionalized graphene oxide with polypyrrole nanocomposite. In operation, the control unit may apply a complex signal to the working electrode via the second contact in order to adhere and subsequently strip contaminant ions from the fluid sample to the working electrode. During this process, a current may be measured across the working electrode and the counter electrode to measure contaminant ion concentration. The pH of the fluid sample may also be determined by a current measured across the reference electrode and the counter electrode. In some examples, the pH may be used to calibrate the measured levels of the contaminant ions. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for prediction of state of charge (SOH), state of health (SOC) and other characteristics of batteries using acoustic signals, includes determining acoustic data at two or more states of charge and determining a reduced acoustic data set representative of the acoustic data at the two or more states of charge. The reduced acoustic data set includes time of flight (TOF) shift, total signal amplitude, or other data points related to the states of charge. Machine learning models use at least the reduced acoustic dataset in conjunction with non-acoustic data such as voltage and temperature for predicting the characteristics of any other independent battery. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques and systems are described for detecting malware's bulk transformation of a user's data before the malware is able to complete the data transformation. Included are methods and systems for enabling malware detection by monitoring the file operations of a computer application or process for particular kinds of suspicious data transformation indicators. Indicators include primary indicators, such as file-type signature changes, notable changes in file data entropy, and out-of-range similarity measurements between the read and write versions of file data, as well as secondary indicators, such as a large number of file deletions and a large reduction in the number of file-types written versus read by a process over time. When indicators are triggered by a process, an adjustment to the process' malware score is made; in the event that the process' malware score reaches a malware detection threshold, the process is marked as malware and appropriate actions are taken. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for synthesis of high anisotropy L10 FeNi (tetrataenite) thin films is provided that combines physical vapor deposition via atomic layer sputtering and rapid thermal annealing with extreme heating and cooling speeds. The methods can induce L10-ordering in FeNi thin films. The process uses a base composite film of a support substrate, a seed layer, a multilayer thin film of FeNi with alternating single atomic layers of Fe and Ni that mimics the atomic plane of the final L10 FeNi alloy, and a capping layer. The Fe and Ni bilayers are grown on top of a Si substrate with a thermally oxidized SiO2 seed layer to mechanically strain the sample during rapid thermal annealing. |

| ABSTRACT | An improved transport carrier for use in a fluid filled microwave sterilization or pasteurization system includes patterned electrically conductive layers or carriers which extend over or under items to be sterilized or pasteurized and occlude 1 to 30% of the area in the direct path of microwave emissions to the items. When the patterned electrically conductive layers or cages are present, heating of the items to be sterilized or pasteurized is substantially more uniform compared to when there is nothing occluding or otherwise interrupting the direct pathway from the microwave emitters to the items. Enhanced automation is achieved for sterilization or pasteurization systems by configuring the preheating and cooling sections as loading and unloading sections. Furthermore, superior fluid temperature control between the loading, heating, and unloading sections is achieved using double gates or dividers between sections. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments of a system and method for sorting and delivering articles in a processing facility. Delivery endpoints are divided and grouped into stop groups. A first sorter sorts items according to stop group and outputs the items to trays. The output trays from the first sorter are loaded to a second sorter. The second sorter sorts items for each stop group into trays based on carrier route segments. A manifest is created that comprises a list of the items in a tray. A mobile computing device alerts a delivery carrier when there is an item that needs to be delivered. |

| ABSTRACT | Improved high energy capacity designs for lithium ion batteries are described that take advantage of the properties of high specific capacity anode active compositions and high specific capacity cathode active compositions. In particular, specific electrode designs provide for achieving very high energy densities. Furthermore, the complex behavior of the active materials is used advantageously in a radical electrode balancing design that significantly reduced wasted electrode capacity in either electrode when cycling under realistic conditions of moderate to high discharge rates and/or over a reduced depth of discharge. |

| ABSTRACT | The subject invention provides methods, assays, and products for detecting small molecules in a sample, in particular, in both clinical and field settings. The method for detecting a small-molecule target, preferably, a synthetic cathinone in a sample comprises contacting the sample with an aptamer-based sensor selective for the small-molecule target, and detecting the small-molecule target in the sample. Specifically, the method utilizes an aptamer-based sensor comprising a dye binding to a three-way junction binding domain of an aptamer. Binding of small-molecule target to the aptamer displaces the dye, generating a spectroscopic signal that can be used for detection of the small-molecule target and quantitative measurement of the target concentration. |

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, June 16, 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.
