| ABSTRACT | The current invention pertains to a system and methods of identifying a site in a tissue of a patient as neoplastic or normal. The system comprises a source of electromagnetic signals; an optical probe which delivers the electromagnetic signals to a working end of the probe; a spectrometer which acquires diffuse reflectance electromagnetic signals returned from the site probed by the optical probe. The spectrometer processes the diffuse reflectance signals to produce a diffuse reflectance spectra which is transmitted to a system controller programmed to analyze the diffuse reflectance spectra to calculate hemoglobin concentration, hemoglobin oxygenation, and/or diffuse reflectance intensity of signals having wavelength of about 700 nm. These parameters are used to identify the site as neoplastic or normal. The system of current invention can be used in identifying neoplastic sites in brain in an intraoperative manner, for example, during a pediatric brain surgery. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of radiation-free hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation comprises administering to a mammalian subject one or two doses of 2 to 10 mg/kg body weight of a purine base analog, such as 6TG as a pre-conditioning step. The method further comprises engrafting into the subject hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT)-deficient donor HSCs within 48 to 72 hours of the pre-conditioning step; and administering to the subject about 1 to 5 mg/kg of the purine base analog every two to four days for two to eight weeks following the engrafting step. The method is performed in the absence of pre-conditioning via radiation. The subject is therefore not treated with myeloablative radiation in preparation for transplantation, and thus the subject is free of myeloablative radiation-induced toxicity. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to the field of stem cell biology, in particular the lineage specific differentiation of pluripotent or multipotent stem cells, which can include, but is not limited to, human embryonic stem cells (hESC) in addition to nonembryonic human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC), somatic stem cells, stem cells from patients with a disease, or any other cell capable of lineage specific differentiation. Specifically described are methods to direct the lineage specific differentiation of hESC and/or hiPSC into floor plate midbrain progenitor cells and then further into large populations of midbrain fate FOXA2+LMX1A+TH+ dopamine (DA) neurons using novel culture conditions. The midbrain fate FOXA2+LMX1A+TH+ dopamine (DA) neurons made using the methods of the present invention are further contemplated for various uses including, but not limited to, use in in vitro drug discovery assays, neurology research, and as a therapeutic to reverse disease of, or damage to, a lack of dopamine neurons in a patient. Further, compositions and methods are provided for differentiating midbrain fate FOXA2+LMX1A+TH+ dopamine (DA) neurons from human pluripotent stem cells for use in disease modeling, in particular Parkinson's disease. Additionally, authentic DA neurons are enriched for markers, such as CD142, and A9 type neuronal cells. |

| ABSTRACT | Next Generation DNA sequencing promises to revolutionize clinical medicine and basic research. However, while this technology has the capacity to generate hundreds of billions of nucleotides of DNA sequence in a single experiment, the error rate of approximately 1% results in hundreds of millions of sequencing mistakes. These scattered errors can be tolerated in some applications but become extremely problematic when “deep sequencing” genetically heterogeneous mixtures, such as tumors or mixed microbial populations. To overcome limitations in sequencing accuracy, a method Duplex Consensus Sequencing (DCS) is provided. This approach greatly reduces errors by independently tagging and sequencing each of the two strands of a DNA duplex. As the two strands are complementary, true mutations are found at the same position in both strands. In contrast, PCR or sequencing errors will result in errors in only one strand. This method uniquely capitalizes on the redundant information stored in double-stranded DNA, thus overcoming technical limitations of prior methods utilizing data from only one of the two strands. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are apparatus and methods that provide the ability to electrical stimulate a physical system, and actively eliminate interference with signal acquisition (artifacts) that arises from the stimulation. The technique implemented in the circuits and methods for eliminating interference connects a discharge path to a physical interface to the system to remove charge that is built-up during stimulation. By placing the discharge path in a feedback loop that includes a recording preamplifier and AC-coupling circuitry, the physical interface is brought back to its pre-stimulation offset voltage. The disclosed apparatus and methods may be used with piezoelectric transducers, ultrasound devices, optical diodes, and polarizable and non-polarizable electrodes. The disclosed apparatus can be employed in implantable devices, in vitro or in vivo setups with vertebrate and invertebrate neural tissue, muscle fibers, pancreatic islet cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, bacteria, algae, fungi, protists, and plants. |

| ABSTRACT | A tool for positioning a flat ring for installation of the flat ring at the end of a cylindrical body. The tool is particularly useful for the installation of gaskets between CF flanges. The tool is configured as a collar that is placed around one of the flanges, with fingers that extend to contact the outer rim of the gasket. The collar is placed around the flange, and the fingers hold the gasket in place until the second flange is moved into position and is bolted finger-tight to the first flange. At this point, the two flanges hold the gasket in place, and the collar is removed. |

| ABSTRACT | An airborne store support assembly includes an ejector housing assembly that receives a fluid-actuated ejector piston. Extension of the piston pushes apart an airborne store from an aircraft for separation after release. A selectable force gas generator (SFGG) includes a total number of more than one gas-generating unit in fluid communication with the ejector housing assembly to actuate the fluid-actuated ejector piston with a selected amount of force. A communication interface in communication with the SFGG supplies at least one firing signal that causes a selected subset of the more than one gas-generating unit that corresponds to the selected amount of force that is dynamically determined by a controller based on flight parameters of at least one of an attitude, a rate of motion, and a rate of acceleration of the aircraft. |

| ABSTRACT | A wet chemistry method for preparing spherical celluloid beads by mixing a water-based suspension solution and a solvent based celluloid solution that is immiscible in the suspension solution. The two combined solutions create an “oil-in-water” type mixture where the dispersed phase consists of celluloid dissolved in solvent and co-solvent that is suspended in the continuous water phase. Agitation and removal of the solvent and co-solvent mixture produces spherical shaped celluloid beads. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides genomic arrangements of the chromosome 3q13 region that are associated with prostate cancer, such as rearrangements between the ZBTB20 and LSAMP genes, including gene fusions between the ZBTB20 gene and the LSAMP gene and deletions spanning both genes. The ZBTB20/LSAMP genomic rearrangement serves as a biomarker for prostate cancer and can be used to stratify prostate cancer based on ethnicity or the severity or aggressiveness of prostate cancer and/or identify a patient for prostate cancer treatment. Another aspect involves discovering that deletions of the PTEN gene are observed predominately in prostate cancer from subjects of Caucasian descent. Also provided are kits for diagnosing and prognosing prostate cancer. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and apparatus related to electrolaminate clutches and transmissions are disclosed. A device can include: an input shaft that can be coupled to an electrolaminate sheet; an output shaft that can be coupled rigidly to a spring positioned over the input shaft, where the spring includes a tab that fits a groove of a spring capture ring that can be positioned over the input shaft; and a drum connected to an electrical ground between the electrolaminate sheet and the spring capture ring, where the drum can be coupled rigidly to the spring capture ring. Then, when a voltage is applied to the electrolaminate sheet, the electrolaminate sheet can clamp to the drum and impart rotation of the input shaft to the drum. The imparted rotation can cause the spring capture ring and the spring to rotate and clamp down on the input shaft, imparting rotation to the output shaft. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for quantum metrology using stable non-equilibrium states of quantum matter, such as many-body quantum spin systems, is disclosed. The approach can utilize quantum correlations in such many-body quantum spin systems stabilized by strong interactions and periodic driving for reduction of noise. As an example, an exemplary protocol to perform Floquet enhanced measurements of an oscillating magnetic field in Ising-interacting spin systems is provided. These approaches allow for circumvention of the interaction-induced decoherence associated with high density spin ensembles and is robust to the presence of noise and imperfections. The protocol is applicable to nanoscale magnetic sensing and other precision measurements. |

| ABSTRACT | A magnetometer containing a crystal sensor with solid-state defects senses the magnitude and direction of a magnetic field. The solid-state defects in the crystal sensor absorb microwave and optical energy to transition between several energy states while emitting light intensity indicative of their spin states. The magnetic field alters the spin-state transitions of the solid-state defects by amounts depending on the solid-state defects' orientations with respect to the magnetic field. The optical read out, reporting the spin state of an ensemble of solid-state defects from one particular orientation class, can be used to lock microwave signals to the resonances associated with the spin-state transitions. The frequencies of the locked microwave signals can be used to reconstruct the magnetic field vector. |

| ABSTRACT | A protective assembly method using a transparent layer within the fiber interconnect system aids in optical coupling by preventing an air gap from forming between the fiber cores within a connector. A thin transparent film (or with adhesive) is placed over the fiber end-faces at the connector interface, the film having characteristics which allows it to conform to the fiber end and minimize coupling loss between fibers. The film is sized to fit connectors faces and can be temporary, being replaced with each installation. A coating can also applied to the connector surface, providing a similar effect, as well as structurally enhancing the connector surfaces. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects disclosed in the detailed description include a touch capacitance transduced energy harvesting system. The energy harvesting system includes a touch sensing electrode array and energy harvesting circuitry coupled to the touch sensing electrode array. When a movable conductive object (e.g., a human finger) moves toward or away from the touch sensing electrode array, capacitance of the touch sensing electrode array increases and decreases accordingly, thus transducing a direct current (DC) current in the touch sensing electrode array. As such, the energy harvesting circuitry can be configured to harvest electric energy from the DC current to generate and store a DC voltage. By harvesting the electric energy transduced from the kinetic energy of the movable conductive object, it is possible to power a low-power electronic device (e.g., a biosensor) with motions already used for interfacing with the low-power electronic device. |

| ABSTRACT | In a sequence of major computational steps or in an iterative computation, a stencil amplifier can increase the number of data elements accessed from one or more data structures in a single major step or iteration, thereby decreasing the total number of computations and/or communication operations in the overall sequence or the iterative computation. Stencil amplification, which can be optimized according to a specified parameter such as compile time, run time, code size, etc., can improve the performance of a computing system executing the sequence or the iterative computation in terms of run time, memory load, energy consumption, etc. The stencil amplifier typically determines boundaries, to avoid erroneously accessing data elements not present in the one or more data structures. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure relates generally to systems and methods of translating between Universal Serial Bus (USB) and synchronous serial protocols. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) configured to operate in a multi-protocol generic mode and in an adaptive clock mode. The ASIC is configured to implement a multi-protocol generic command processor in the multi-protocol generic mode where the ASIC is operable to be commanded so as to execute a generic bus command that converts between the USB protocol and any commanded synchronous serial protocol. Furthermore, the ASIC can synchronize the execution of the generic bus command with an externally generated clock signal on the synchronous serial side when the ASIC is also provided in the adaptive clock mode. In this manner, a computer device with a USB port can use the ASIC as a bridge for data communications with a radio having a synchronous serial port. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for fabricating refractory metal scandate nanocomposite powders with homogeneous microstructured refractory metal grains and a uniform nanosized dispersion of scandia are provided. The powders prepared by the sol-gel methods have a spherical morphology, a narrow distribution of particle sizes and a very uniform dispersion of nanosized scandia particles joined to the tungsten grains. The powder particle sizes can range from nanometers to micrometers. The powders can be pressed into porous cathode structures that can be impregnated with emissive materials to produce high current density and long life cathodes for high-power terahertz vacuum electron devices. The sol-gel fabrication methods allow control over the materials, particle size, particle composition and pore size and distribution of the cathode structure by manipulation of the process parameters. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for generating electrical power may include the steps of rotating a rotor of a generator at a speed in excess of about 12,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) to about 25,000 rpm and producing power with the generator at a rate in excess of about 800 kilowatts (kW). The generator has a power/weight ratio no smaller than about 3 kW/lbs. A rotor is cooled with cooling oil internally circulated through the rotor of the generator so that contact of cooling oil with external surfaces of the rotor may be precluded. The stator is also cooled with oil that is prevented from contacting the external surfaces of the rotor. Pressurized airflow may be produced in a gap between the rotor and a stator of the generator to preclude entry of cooling oil into the gap. |

| ABSTRACT | High-performance ultra-wideband Phased Array Sensors (PAS) are disclosed, which have unique capabilities, enabled through photonic integrated circuits and novel optical architectures. Unique capabilities for a Receive PAS are provided by wafer scale photonic integration including heterogeneous integration of III-V materials and ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguides, combining key component technologies into complex PIC devices. Novel aspects include optical multiplexing combining wavelength division multiplexing and/or a novel extension to array photodetectors providing the capability to combine many RF photonic signals with very low loss. The architecture also includes optical down-conversion, as well as digital signal processing to improve the linearity of the system. Simultaneous multi-channel beamforming is achieved through optical power splitting of optical signals to create multiple exact replicas of the signals that are then processed independently. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and associated methods for dynamic split file distribution of digital content to multiple nodes in a network. A basic flow for each of a collection of method subtypes 1→p (for p between 1 and a total number of distribution nodes in the subnetwork) comprises 1) determining communication paths with the p highest single inter-nodal bandwidths from each of available source nodes to its adjacent distribution nodes; 2) passing the content from the source node(s) along the p highest inter-nodal bandwidths, striking the receiving node(s) from a list of distribution nodes and adding those nodes to a list of source nodes; and 3) repeating 1) and 2) until targeted network nodes receive a respective copy of the passed content. At each completed method flow cycle, each subnetwork subsequently presented to each source node is analyzed to dynamically select and apply a method subtype that is appropriate for that subnetwork. |

| ABSTRACT | A polarization-independent optical switching system capable of rerouting light signals is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of switching cells, each including a pair of bus waveguides that are formed in different planes above a substrate. Each bus waveguide supports low-loss propagation of both the TE- and TM-polarization modes and are optically decoupled when the switch is in an unswitched state. In its switched state, a shunt waveguide that also supports low-loss propagation of both polarization modes is moved into proximity with both bus waveguides to form a pair of adiabatic directional couplers that enable the light signal to evanescently couple between each bus waveguide and the shunt waveguide. As a result, the path of a light signal through the switching cell is reconfigured. |

| ABSTRACT | A wildlife deterrence aircraft lighting apparatus includes at least one species deterrent LED to provide non-lethal deterrence of avian species (i.e., birds) within a deterrence area in an immediate flight path of an aircraft. The species deterrent LED may be configured to emit mono-colored light at a wavelength within a sensitivity range of a short-wavelength-sensitive (SWS) photoreceptor of at least one avian species and with a light intensity in at least a portion of the deterrence area sufficient to induce an augmented behavioral response. The lighting apparatus may also control the species deterrent LED(s) and aircraft lighting LED(s) independently and may provide voltage control and temperature control to enable the wildlife deterrence function without interfering with the aircraft lighting functions. The lighting apparatus may further be configured to reduce luminous flux loss and to provide thermal management to accommodate both wildlife deterrence and aircraft lighting functions. |

| ABSTRACT | A coupling device couples a walker to a torso orthosis which is coupled to a person. The coupling device includes an orthosis coupling member coupled to said torso orthosis, a walker coupling member coupled to said walker, and a mechanism coupled to the orthosis coupling member from its first end and to the walker coupling member from its second end. The mechanism constrains said orthosis coupling member to move along a free line. The torso orthosis is worn by the person and said coupling device is coupled to both said walker and said torso orthosis. The person may be walking along a moving direction not parallel with said free line. The mechanism forces said walker and torso orthosis to move along said moving direction and allows said torso orthosis to move freely along said free line when said moving direction is not parallel with said free line. |

| ABSTRACT | A set of machines and related systems build structures by the additive assembly of discrete parts. These digital material assemblies constrain the constituent parts to a discrete set of possible positions and orientations. In doing so, the structures exhibit many of the properties inherent in digital communication such as error correction, fault tolerance and allow the assembly of precise structures with comparatively imprecise tools. Assembly of discrete cellular lattices by a Modular Isotropic Lattice Extruder System (MILES) is implemented by pulling strings of lattice elements through a forming die that enforces geometry constraints that lock the elements into a rigid structure that can then be pushed against and extruded out of the die as an assembled, loadbearing structure. |

| ABSTRACT | Catalysts prepared from abundant, cost effective metals, such as cobalt, nickel, chromium, manganese, iron, and copper, and containing one or more neutrally charged ligands (e.g., monodentate, bidentate, and/or polydentate ligands) and methods of making and using thereof are described herein. Exemplary ligands include, but are not limited to, phosphine ligands, nitrogen-based ligands, sulfur-based ligands, and/or arsenic-based ligands. In some embodiments, the catalyst is a cobalt-based catalyst or a nickel-based catalyst. The catalysts described herein are stable and active at neutral pH and in a wide range of buffers that are both weak and strong proton acceptors. While its activity is slightly lower than state of the art cobalt-based water oxidation catalysts under some conditions, it is capable of sustaining electrolysis at high applied potentials without a significant degradation in catalytic current. This enhanced robustness gives it an advantage in industrial and large-scale water electrolysis schemes. |

| ABSTRACT | Some embodiments include a method of producing metal diboride nanomaterials having thickness down to the atomic scale and lateral areas from 10 nm to over 1 μm by preparing a mixture of a metal diboride and a suspending solution. The suspending solution can be an organic solvent or a solution containing water, and optionally can include a dispersion agent, such as a surfactant, a polymer, small molecule, or biopolymer. Further, the method includes exfoliating the metal diboride by exposing the mixture to ultrasonic energy, centrifuging the mixture forming supernatant that includes a dispersion of exfoliated metal diborides, and extracting the dispersion from the supernatant. Some embodiments include extracting the supernatant and casting the solution by diluting the dispersion with a second suspending solution that includes dissolved polymer. This can result in a composite film includes a dispersion of the exfoliated metal diborides and provides improved mechanical properties. |

| ABSTRACT | Continuous monitoring of acetone is a challenge using related art sensing methods. Though real-time detection of acetone from different biofluids is promising, signal interference from other biomarkers remains an issue. A minor fluctuation of the signals in the micro-ampere range can cause substantial overlapping in linear/polynomial calibration fittings. To address the above in non-invasive detection, principal component analysis (PCA) can be used to generate specific patterns for different concentration points of acetone in the subspace. This results in improvement of the problem of overlapping of the signals between two different concentration points of the data sets while eliminating dimensionality and redundancy of data variables. An algorithm following PCA can be incorporated in a microcontroller of a sensor, resulting in a functional wearable acetone sensor. Acetone in the physiological range (0.5 ppm to 4 ppm) can be detected with such a sensor. |

| ABSTRACT | Sensing compositions, sensing element, sensing systems and sensing devices for the detection and/or quantitation of one or more analytes. Compositions comprising carbon nanotubes in which the carbon nanotubes retain their ability to luminesce and in which that luminescence is rendered selectively sensitive to the presence of an analyte. Compositions comprising individually dispersed carbon nanotubes, which are electronically isolated from other carbon nanotubes, yet which are associated with chemical selective species, such as polymers, particularly biological polymers, for example proteins, which can interact selectively with, or more specifically selectivity bind to, an analyte of interest. Chemically selective species bind, preferably non-covalently, to the carbon nanotube and function to provide for analyte selectivity. Chemically selective species include polymers to which one or more chemically selective groups are covalently attached. Chemically selective polymers include, for example, proteins and polysaccharides. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for quantum metrology using stable non-equilibrium states of quantum matter, such as many-body quantum spin systems, is disclosed. The approach can utilize quantum correlations in such many-body quantum spin systems stabilized by strong interactions and periodic driving for reduction of noise. As an example, an exemplary protocol to perform Floquet enhanced measurements of an oscillating magnetic field in Ising-interacting spin systems is provided. These approaches allow for circumvention of the interaction-induced decoherence associated with high density spin ensembles and is robust to the presence of noise and imperfections. The protocol is applicable to nanoscale magnetic sensing and other precision measurements. |

| ABSTRACT | A polarization-independent optical switching system capable of rerouting light signals is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of switching cells, each including a pair of bus waveguides that are formed in different planes above a substrate. Each bus waveguide supports low-loss propagation of both the TE- and TM-polarization modes and are optically decoupled when the switch is in an unswitched state. In its switched state, a shunt waveguide that also supports low-loss propagation of both polarization modes is moved into proximity with both bus waveguides to form a pair of adiabatic directional couplers that enable the light signal to evanescently couple between each bus waveguide and the shunt waveguide. As a result, the path of a light signal through the switching cell is reconfigured. |

| ABSTRACT | Catalysts prepared from abundant, cost effective metals, such as cobalt, nickel, chromium, manganese, iron, and copper, and containing one or more neutrally charged ligands (e.g., monodentate, bidentate, and/or polydentate ligands) and methods of making and using thereof are described herein. Exemplary ligands include, but are not limited to, phosphine ligands, nitrogen-based ligands, sulfur-based ligands, and/or arsenic-based ligands. In some embodiments, the catalyst is a cobalt-based catalyst or a nickel-based catalyst. The catalysts described herein are stable and active at neutral pH and in a wide range of buffers that are both weak and strong proton acceptors. While its activity is slightly lower than state of the art cobalt-based water oxidation catalysts under some conditions, it is capable of sustaining electrolysis at high applied potentials without a significant degradation in catalytic current. This enhanced robustness gives it an advantage in industrial and large-scale water electrolysis schemes. |

| ABSTRACT | An expanded beam ferrule includes a first ferrule halve having first reflective surfaces and a second ferrule halve having second reflective surfaces, which together retain optical fibers. The pair of reflective surfaces output collimated light parallel to the mid-plane of the ferrule. An external sleeve aligns the external surface of two similar ferrules, with corresponding second reflective surfaces of the ferrules facing each other. Output light from an optical fiber held in one ferrule is bent twice by the pair of reflective surfaces, with beam divergence after the first bent, and collimation after the second bent. The collimated light is transmitted to the facing second reflective surface in a facing second ferrule aligned by the sleeve, which is subject to optical reshaping in reverse to that undertaken in the first ferrule, so as to converge and focus light to input to the optical fiber held in the other ferrule. |

| ABSTRACT | A set of machines and related systems build structures by the additive assembly of discrete parts. These digital material assemblies constrain the constituent parts to a discrete set of possible positions and orientations. In doing so, the structures exhibit many of the properties inherent in digital communication such as error correction, fault tolerance and allow the assembly of precise structures with comparatively imprecise tools. Assembly of discrete cellular lattices by a Modular Isotropic Lattice Extruder System (MILES) is implemented by pulling strings of lattice elements through a forming die that enforces geometry constraints that lock the elements into a rigid structure that can then be pushed against and extruded out of the die as an assembled, loadbearing structure. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to a Robot Electronics Unit (REU) motor controller board (MCB) with a trapezoid wave design, which can utilize power efficiently and reduce electromagnetic interference. The MCB uses a modulator or Buck Converter to regulate the voltage before it is passed to the motors used in robotic arms in space applications. The REU MCB includes: a commutator disposed on the MCB and connected to a three-phase induction motor; and a modulator disposed on the MCB and which precedes the commutator, the modulator which utilizes pulse width modulation (PWM) to regulate a voltage to the commutator and provide a predetermined current to the commutator. The modulator regulates the voltage by stepping it down from a 100V power input signal before the voltage is passed to the motor. The output of the modulator includes a trapezoid waveform design which controls the motor and reduces electromagnetic interference. |

| ABSTRACT | The Structural Origami ARray (SOAR) concept is an extremely high performance, deployable solar array system that delivers high power output and exceeds state-of-the-art packaging efficiencies. Unlike existing Z-folding panels or rolled architectures, this approach utilizes an origami-inspired two-dimensional packaging scheme of a flexible blanket/substrate that is coupled with a simple and compact deployable supporting structure that stabilizes the array by external tension or internal support. This enables large deployed areas populated with high efficiency photovoltaic (PV) cells or antenna elements, which compactly stows in a square form factor with thin stack height that minimizes impingement on spacecraft bus internal volume. |

| ABSTRACT | An LVDS device wherein driver and receiver functionalities are integrated in the same package, signals are routed from the individual driver and receiver elements inside the package such that all inputs are one side of the package, and all outputs are on the opposite side of the package, allowing for an optimized signal flow through the package. All required capacitors and resistors are integrated inside the package; no external electronic components are required. All of the above novelties also contribute to a 6:1 reduction in size compared to current state-of-the-art, for the same number of communication channels. Embodiments include a packaging topology adaptable to extreme environments, including radiation tolerant to 300 kRad (based on the die technology), so that module operational temperature is in a range of −55° C. to +100° C. and storage temperature can be as low as −184° C. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for separating nutrients, such as phosphorus and protein, from biological materials may be disclosed. Biological material, for example in the form of wet solids from raw manure, may first be separated out by a solid-liquid separator. The wet solids may then be dissolved in an acidic solution, which may be created directly or by fermentation. The resulting supernatant from the acidic treatment may then be separated and phosphorus reclaimed therefrom. The resulting precipitate from the acidic treatment may be separated from the supernatant and treated with a basic solution. The resulting supernatant following the basic treatment may then be separated and protein reclaimed therefrom. In some embodiments, the supernatant resulting from the acidic treatment may itself be alkalinized, creating a precipitate which contains phosphorus solids and a supernatant which can be separated from the phosphorus solids and used as the basic solution with which to treat the precipitate resulting from the acidic treatment. Further, the system may be used to extract phosphorus and proteins from other biological materials, such as algae or crops. |

| ABSTRACT | Two novel cDNAs for two different genes, HDT1 and HDT2, are isolated from red clover and sequenced. Both HDT1 and HDT2 encode hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:L-DOPA/tyrosine hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HDT) which enzymatically produces clovamide and/or related hydroxycinnamoyl amides. Clovamide and related hydroxycinnamoyl amides reduce post-harvest protein degradation. Genetically altered alfalfa plants containing an expression cassette containing a cDNA encoding HDT1 or HDT2 are generated. These genetically altered alfalfa plants produce hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:L-DOPA/tyrosine hydroxycinnamoyl transferase, which in turn produces clovamide and/or related hydroxycinnamoyl amides. |

| ABSTRACT | High-performance ultra-wideband Phased Array Sensors (PAS) are disclosed, which have unique capabilities, enabled through photonic integrated circuits and novel optical architectures. Unique capabilities for a Receive PAS are provided by wafer scale photonic integration including heterogeneous integration of III-V materials and ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguides, combining key component technologies into complex PIC devices. Novel aspects include optical multiplexing combining wavelength division multiplexing and/or a novel extension to array photodetectors providing the capability to combine many RF photonic signals with very low loss. The architecture also includes optical down-conversion, as well as digital signal processing to improve the linearity of the system. Simultaneous multi-channel beamforming is achieved through optical power splitting of optical signals to create multiple exact replicas of the signals that are then processed independently. |

| ABSTRACT | A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium are described for providing a sender a plurality of ephemeral keys such that a sender and receiver can exchange encrypted communications. Accordingly, a sender may retrieve information, such as a public key and a key identifier, for the first receiver from a local storage. The retrieved information may be used to generate a key-encrypting key that is used to generate a random communication encryption key. The random communication encryption key is used to encrypt a communication, while the key-encrypting key encrypts the random communication key. The encrypted communication and the encrypted random communication key are transmitted to the first receiver. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure relates generally to systems and methods of translating between Universal Serial Bus (USB) and synchronous serial protocols. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) configured to operate in a multi-protocol generic mode and in an adaptive clock mode. The ASIC is configured to implement a multi-protocol generic command processor in the multi-protocol generic mode where the ASIC is operable to be commanded so as to execute a generic bus command that converts between the USB protocol and any commanded synchronous serial protocol. Furthermore, the ASIC can synchronize the execution of the generic bus command with an externally generated clock signal on the synchronous serial side when the ASIC is also provided in the adaptive clock mode. In this manner, a computer device with a USB port can use the ASIC as a bridge for data communications with a radio having a synchronous serial port. |

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, July 14, 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.
