| ABSTRACT | Described herein are fluid complex coacervates that produce solid adhesives in situ. Oppositely charged polyelectrolytes were designed to form fluid adhesive complex coacervates at ionic strengths higher than the ionic strength of the application site, but an insoluble adhesive solid or gel at the application site. When the fluid, high ionic strength adhesive complex coacervates are introduced into the lower ionic strength application site, the fluid complex coacervate is converted to a an adhesive solid or gel as the salt concentration in the complex coacervate equilibrates to the application site salt concentration. In one embodiment, the fluid complex coacervates are designed to solidify in situ at physiological ionic strength and have numerous medical applications. In other aspects, the fluid complex coacervates can be used in aqueous environment for non-medical applications. |

| ABSTRACT | The subject matter described herein includes a modular and extensible approach to integrate noisy measurements from multiple heterogeneous sensors that yield either absolute or relative observations at different and varying time intervals, and to provide smooth and globally consistent estimates of position in real time for autonomous flight. We describe the development of the algorithms and software architecture for a new 1.9 kg MAV platform equipped with an IMU, laser scanner, stereo cameras, pressure altimeter, magnetometer, and a GPS receiver, in which the state estimation and control are performed onboard on an Intel NUC 3rd generation i3 processor. We illustrate the robustness of our framework in large-scale, indoor-outdoor autonomous aerial navigation experiments involving traversals of over 440 meters at average speeds of 1.5 m/s with winds around 10 mph while entering and exiting buildings. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for mitigating turbulence in an image. A set of initial turbulence parameters is chosen. A fast de-turbulence algorithm is applied using each initial turbulence parameter to an original image, resulting in an enhanced image. The sharpness of each enhanced image is measured. The sharpness is recorded along with the corresponding initial turbulence parameter in a sharpness curve. The knee of the sharpness curve is calculated. An estimated turbulence parameter r0 is determined according to the knee. A de-turbulence algorithm is applied to the original image using r0. |

| ABSTRACT | A quantum mechanical radio frequency (RF) signaling system includes a transmission line that receives and conducts an RF pulse signal operating at a radio frequency, a first qubit having a quantum mechanical state that is a linear combination of at least two quantum mechanical eigenstates, and a first network of reactive electrical components having an input that is coupled to the transmission line for receiving the RF pulse signal and an output that is coupled to the first qubit. The first network of reactive electrical components attenuates the amplitude of the RF pulse signal and produces a first attenuated RF pulse signal that is applied to the first qubit. The first attenuated RF pulse signal operates at the radio frequency and has a first attenuated amplitude that causes a predefined change in the linear combination of at least two quantum mechanical eigenstates within the first qubit. |

| ABSTRACT | A pneumatic method, and associated apparatus, for injecting a discrete sample plug into the separation channel of an electrophoresis microchip (100) is disclosed. In a first step, pressurized gas (90) is applied to the sample (30) and background electrolyte (20) reservoirs such that the pressure is higher there than at the sample waste reservoir (35) to create a focused sample stream at the junction between the sample and separation channels. In a second step, the pressure at the sample reservoir (30) is reduced in order to pneumatically inject the sample plug into the separation channel. The waste reservoir (35) may be connected to a pressure reducing device (91). The methods, systems and devices are particularly suitable for use with a mass spectrometer (200i). |

| ABSTRACT | A higher-order-mode (HOM) fiber of a fiber laser has step index and guidance diameter (GD) defining wavelength-dependent dispersion characteristics and effective areas for corresponding HOMS of optical signal propagation. One HOM has anomalous dispersion and effective area defining a first wavelength and first power of a pulse optical signal for conversion to a second wavelength and second power by soliton self-frequency shifting (SSFS). By controlling step index and GD, the dispersion and effective area of a HOM are adjusted to bring the second wavelength into a desired range, enabling applications requiring non-conventional fiber laser wavelengths. HOMS may share a predetermined group index and group velocity at wavelengths established by a Raman gain peak to effect wavelength conversion by interpulse and intermodal Raman scattering, which may occur in a cascaded fashion to yield multicolor lasers with desired wavelengths, pulse energies and pulse widths. |

| ABSTRACT | A qubit includes a superconducting loop interrupted by a plurality of magnetic flux tunneling elements, such as DC SQUIDs, leaving superconducting islands between the elements. An effective transverse magnetic moment is formed by magnetically tuning each element to yield a large tunneling amplitude. The electrical polarization charge on an island is tuned to produce destructive interference between the tunneling amplitudes using the Aharonov-Casher effect, resulting in an effectively zero transverse field. Biasing the charge away from this tuning allows tunneling to resume with a large amplitude. Interrupting the island with a third tunneling path, such as a Josephson junction, permits independently tuning and biasing the two islands that result, enabling effective control of two independent (X and Y) transverse fields. |

| ABSTRACT | In a fully homomorphic encryption scheme, a method is provided for performing a homomorphic operation on a data set by applying an encrypted operand supplied as a ciphertext. A data set containing ‘i’ library vectors, each with ‘j’ coefficients is subjected to a pivot operation such that each set of common ‘j’ coefficients is stored in respective library ciphertexts. A query ciphertext containing a query vector is then subjected to a homomorphic pivot operation to separate out its ‘j’ coefficients into respective pivoted query ciphertexts. A more efficient homomorphic computation can then be carried out between the ciphertexts of the pivoted forms of the query and library vectors so as to compute an encrypted set of vector differences between the query vector and each of the library vectors. |

| ABSTRACT | A two-layer erasure-coded fault-tolerant distributed storage system offering atomic access for read and write operations is described. In some embodiments, a class of erasure codes known as regenerating codes (e.g. minimum bandwidth regenerating codes) for storage of data in a backend layer is used to reduce a cost of backend bulk storage and helps in reducing communication cost of read operations, when a value needs to be recreated from persistent storage in the backend layer. By separating the functionality of edge layer servers and backend servers, a modular implementation for atomicity using storage-efficient erasure-codes is provided. Such a two-layer modular architecture permits protocols needed for consistency implementation to be substantially limited to the interaction between clients and an edge layer, while protocols needed to implement erasure code are substantially limited to interaction between edge and backend layers. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for generating frequency-multiplexed synthetic sound-speech stimuli and for detecting and analyzing electrical brain activity of a subject in response to the stimuli. Frequency-multiplexing of speech copora and synthetic sounds helps the composite sound to blend into a single auditory object. The synthetic sounds are temporally aligned with the utterances of the speech corpus. Frequency multiplexing may include splitting the frequency axis into alternating bands of speech and synthetic sound to minimize the disruptive interaction between the speech and synthetic sounds along the basilar membrane and in their neural representations. The generated stimuli can be used with both traditional and advanced techniques to analyze electrical brain activity and provides a rapid, synoptic view into the functional health of the early auditory system, including how speech is processed at different levels and how these levels interact. |

| ABSTRACT | Inappropriate activation of innate immune responses in nematode intestinal epithelial cells underlies the pathophysiology of some inflammatory disorders. Immunostimulatory xenobiotics are known to protect nematodes from bacterial infection (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Conversely, these same xenobiotics are toxic to uninfected nematodes. These xenobiotics were subjected to a forward genetic screen in uninfected nematodes to identify nematode mutants that were resistant to the deleterious effects of these xenobiotics. These resistant nematode strains contained hypomorphic mutations in each of the known components of the p38 MAP kinase cassette (tir-1, nsy-1, sek-1 and pmk-1), demonstrating that hyperstimulation of p38 MAPK innate immune responses may be responsible for the induced toxicity. A second genetic screen using dominant activators of the p38 MAPK pathway identified a single allele that had a gain-of-function (gf) mutation in nsy-1, the MAP kinase kinase kinase that acts upstream of p38 MAPK pmk-1. |

| ABSTRACT | Nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF) treatments of a tumor are adjusted based on a size and type of the tumor to stimulate an immune response against the tumor and other tumors in the subject. Calreticulin expression on tumor cells can be detected to confirm treatment. An immune response biomarker can be measured, and further nsPEF treatments can be performed if needed to stimulate or further stimulate the immune response. Cancers that have metastasized may be treated by directly treating a tumor that is most accessible. The treatment can be combined with CD47-blocking antibodies, doxorubicin, CTLA-4-blocking antibodies, and/or PD-1-blocking antibodies. Electrical characteristics of nsPEF treatments can be based on the size, type, and/or strength of tumors and/or a quantity of tumors in the subject. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are methods of influencing, and enhancing, cognitive function and memory by increasing, and/or preventing interference with, Reelin levels as well as Reelin signaling. Cognitive function is improved, in a subject in need thereof, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of Reelin, a Reelin-specific modulator or an agonist of a lipoprotein receptor to the subject. The lipoprotein receptor can be selected from candidates such as ApoER2 and VLDLR. As disclosed herein, agonists of the lipoprotein receptor for use with the inventive method include APC, Sep and Fc-RAP. In addition to administering exogenous Reelin, a Reelin-specific modulator, such as a recombinant Reelin fragment, can be used to increase Reelin levels and/or signaling. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to nucleic acid promoter sequences that are able to specifically express genes operatively linked to the promoter in brainstem and spinal motor neuron cells, and to methods for using such promoters to selectively express genes in motor neurons in vitro and in vivo. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that the nucleic acid of SEQ ID NO: 1 functioned as a motor neuron-specific promoter and was successful in expressing transgenes in motor neuron cells in vivo.

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are fluid complex coacervates that produce solid adhesives in situ. Oppositely charged polyelectrolytes were designed to form fluid adhesive complex coacervates at ionic strengths higher than the ionic strength of the application site, but an insoluble adhesive solid or gel at the application site. When the fluid, high ionic strength adhesive complex coacervates are introduced into the lower ionic strength application site, the fluid complex coacervate is converted to a an adhesive solid or gel as the salt concentration in the complex coacervate equilibrates to the application site salt concentration. In one embodiment, the fluid complex coacervates are designed to solidify in situ at physiological ionic strength and have numerous medical applications. In other aspects, the fluid complex coacervates can be used in aqueous environment for non-medical applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Fluidic devices and related methods are generally provided. The fluidic devices described herein may be useful, for example, for diagnostic purposes (e.g., detection of the presence of one or more disease causing bacteria in a patient sample). Unlike certain existing fluidic devices for diagnostic purposes, the fluidic devices and methods described herein may be useful for detecting the presence of numerous disease causing bacteria in a patient sample substantially simultaneously (e.g., in parallel). In some embodiments, the fluidic devices and methods described herein provide highly sensitive detection of microbes in relatively large fluidic samples (e.g., between 0.5 mL and about 5 mL), as compared to certain existing fluidic detection (e.g., microfluidic) devices and methods. In an exemplary embodiment, increased detection sensitivity of microbial pathogens present in a patient sample (e.g., blood) is performed by selectively removing human nucleic acid prior to sensitive detection of microbial infection. In some embodiments, the fluidic device allows for the identification of microbial pathogens directly from unprocessed blood without having to conduct blood culturing processes. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a method to make diindolylmethanes and indolyl/pyrrolylmethanes, The method includes the steps of contacting an ether comprising an arylpropargyl moiety and an amine-protected, substituted or unsubstituted aniline moiety with a substituted or unsubstituted indol or a substituted or unsubstituted pyrrole, in the presence of a metal-containing catalyst, for a time and at a temperature to cause an annulation/arylation cascade reaction that yields a diindolylmethane or a indolyl/pyrrolylmethane. The resulting compounds are effective to modulate activity of arylhydrocarbon receptors, to inhibit activity of PCSK9, and to stimulate secretion of glucagon-like peptide 1 in mammals. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins that are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds of the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand that binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety that binds a target protein, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds of the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides engineered RNA precursors that when expressed in a cell are processed by the cell to produce targeted small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that selectively silence targeted genes (by cleaving specific mRNAs) using the cell's own RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. By introducing nucleic acid molecules that encode these engineered RNA precursors into cells in vivo with appropriate regulatory sequences, expression of the engineered RNA precursors can be selectively controlled both temporally and spatially, i.e., at particular times and/or in particular tissues, organs, or cells. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods are provided for obtaining a sample of β cells from an isolated donor pancreas or isolated pancreatic islets and analyzing the sample using flow cytometry to determine the percentage of β cells in the sample that express detectable levels of ALDH1 A3. If the percentage of ALDH1 A3-expressing β cells in the sample is about 3% or lower, then it is possible to determine that the pancreas or islets are healthy enough for implantation into a subject, and implanting the pancreas or islets. If the percentage of ALDH1 A3-expressing cells is above about 5%, then it is determined that the pancreas or islets are not suitable for implantation into the subject and discarding the pancreas or islets. Isolated non-insulin-producing or low-insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | Complex wavefront engineering is realized through a random metasurface phase mask backed by a phase-only spatial light modulator. The metasurface consists of an array of subwavelength nanoscatterers which give the metasurface a pre-arranged disorder. Since the transmission matrix of the disordered metasurface is known, there is no need for extensive characterization measurements which are instead required in standard disordered optical devices. |

| ABSTRACT | A method to minimize cache pressure using slot pressure profile (SPP)-guided Algorithm includes generating an intermediate SPP from a binary code of a DBMS. The generated intermediate SPP is received and a reference SPP is output. The reference SPP has a value assigned for each cache slot in a cache, whereby a cache slot value is indicative of cache pressure. The reference SPP is accepted and a candidate slot list related to the cache is produced by sorting the values in the reference SPP. A slot number among the candidate slot list is decided and passed to find an open memory address mapping to the decided slot number for a bee code, the bee code being a specialized version of a DBMS function created and loaded into the cache at run-time. A query with the bee code is executed using the open memory address found. |

| ABSTRACT | A pneumatic method, and associated apparatus, for injecting a discrete sample plug into the separation channel of an electrophoresis microchip (100) is disclosed. In a first step, pressurized gas (90) is applied to the sample (30) and background electrolyte (20) reservoirs such that the pressure is higher there than at the sample waste reservoir (35) to create a focused sample stream at the junction between the sample and separation channels. In a second step, the pressure at the sample reservoir (30) is reduced in order to pneumatically inject the sample plug into the separation channel. The waste reservoir (35) may be connected to a pressure reducing device (91). The methods, systems and devices are particularly suitable for use with a mass spectrometer (200i). |

| ABSTRACT | A higher-order-mode (HOM) fiber of a fiber laser has step index and guidance diameter (GD) defining wavelength-dependent dispersion characteristics and effective areas for corresponding HOMS of optical signal propagation. One HOM has anomalous dispersion and effective area defining a first wavelength and first power of a pulse optical signal for conversion to a second wavelength and second power by soliton self-frequency shifting (SSFS). By controlling step index and GD, the dispersion and effective area of a HOM are adjusted to bring the second wavelength into a desired range, enabling applications requiring non-conventional fiber laser wavelengths. HOMS may share a predetermined group index and group velocity at wavelengths established by a Raman gain peak to effect wavelength conversion by interpulse and intermodal Raman scattering, which may occur in a cascaded fashion to yield multicolor lasers with desired wavelengths, pulse energies and pulse widths. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of providing wireless communications in a wireless network can include wirelessly receiving a chirp spread-spectrum modulated signal at a first gateway device, the chirp spread-spectrum modulated signal being transmitted by a remote client device. The chirp spread-spectrum modulated signal can be demodulated at the first gateway device to provide demodulated data at the first gateway device. The demodulated data can be processed to provide an indication that a decode of a packet including the demodulated data failed. Time adjacent chirps included in the demodulated data can be combined to provide combined data at the first gateway device. A message can be transmitted from the first gateway device to a remote server responsive to an amplitude of the combined data exceeding a threshold value and the indication that the decode of the packet including the demodulated data failed. |

| ABSTRACT | A biodegradable bait station is disclosed that can be used with liquid baits targeting pest ants in urban, agricultural, and natural setting, which can overcome several limitations that most of other liquid bait stations currently experience. For example, instead of keeping a large quantity of liquid bait in a reservoir, a small amount, for example, 10-20 ml of sugary liquid bait with an insecticide, for example, boric acid, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, will be contained in a biodegradable cylindrical container with one open end. The open end will be plugged with a piece of water absorbent polymer or gel, for example, polyacrylamide gel, sodium alginate. The water absorbent polymer or gel absorbs the liquid bait and expands inside of the cylindrical container so that it will function as a polymer “wick” to deliver a small amount of the liquid bait to foraging ants. |

| ABSTRACT | A biosensor of the invention is a capacitive noncontact sensor with two sensor channels split into a plurality of physically interdigitated symmetrical electrodes and shield sections. Two capacitive plates are electrically connected to the two sensor channels. The capacitive noncontact sensor is sized and packaged to be worn by a person to place the capacitive plates close to the skin of the person and form first and second channel input capacitors with the skin. A signal reconstruction circuit obtains a bio signal from the first and second channel input capacitors through the electrodes by reconstructing differences in the two sensor channels. The circuit includes different parasitic input capacitance in the two channels to create channel-specific outputs that depend on input coupling capacitance. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates generally to compositions, methods and kits for detection of a molecule of interest. The present invention is based, at least in part, on the design of nucleic acid oligonucleotides such that they can be used as molecular building blocks which can be assembled (polymerized) to form a dsDNA polymerization product which can be detected and further, can be disassembled (depolymerized) such that the polymerization product is no longer detectable. The invention can be performed multiple times on the same cell population, and is therefore useful for highly sensitive in situ detection of multiple biomarkers. |

| ABSTRACT | A post-fabrication debug and on-line error checking framework for 2D- and 3D-ICs with integrated memories is described. A design-for-debug (DfD) architecture can include, for an IC with on-chip memory, a debug module connected to a functional bus of the IC. The debug module receives trace data for an interval, generates compact signatures based on the received data, and compares these signatures to expected signatures. Intervals containing erroneous trace data can be identified by the debug module and stored in on-chip memory. A single iteration of signal tracing for debug testing between automated test equipment and the IC is possible. |

| ABSTRACT | A photonic device has a polarization-dependent region and a device layer including a first cladding film, a second cladding film, and a core film. The core film includes one of (1) a material having an index nM and (2) alternating layers of a first material having a first index and second material having a second index. The alternating layers have an effective index for TE polarized light nTE and an effective index for TM polarized light nTM. Each of the first cladding film and the second cladding film include the other of (1) the material having the index of refraction nM and (2) the alternating layers nTM<nM<nTE, and the indices of the upper cladding and the lower cladding are less than nTM, nM and nTE. A polarizer, polarizing beam splitter and coupler using clipped coupling can employ the material having an index nM and the alternating layers. |

| ABSTRACT | Complex wavefront engineering is realized through a random metasurface phase mask backed by a phase-only spatial light modulator. The metasurface consists of an array of subwavelength nanoscatterers which give the metasurface a pre-arranged disorder. Since the transmission matrix of the disordered metasurface is known, there is no need for extensive characterization measurements which are instead required in standard disordered optical devices. |

| ABSTRACT | The subject matter described herein includes a modular and extensible approach to integrate noisy measurements from multiple heterogeneous sensors that yield either absolute or relative observations at different and varying time intervals, and to provide smooth and globally consistent estimates of position in real time for autonomous flight. We describe the development of the algorithms and software architecture for a new 1.9 kg MAV platform equipped with an IMU, laser scanner, stereo cameras, pressure altimeter, magnetometer, and a GPS receiver, in which the state estimation and control are performed onboard on an Intel NUC 3rd generation i3 processor. We illustrate the robustness of our framework in large-scale, indoor-outdoor autonomous aerial navigation experiments involving traversals of over 440 meters at average speeds of 1.5 m/s with winds around 10 mph while entering and exiting buildings. |

| ABSTRACT | A method to minimize cache pressure using slot pressure profile (SPP)-guided Algorithm includes generating an intermediate SPP from a binary code of a DBMS. The generated intermediate SPP is received and a reference SPP is output. The reference SPP has a value assigned for each cache slot in a cache, whereby a cache slot value is indicative of cache pressure. The reference SPP is accepted and a candidate slot list related to the cache is produced by sorting the values in the reference SPP. A slot number among the candidate slot list is decided and passed to find an open memory address mapping to the decided slot number for a bee code, the bee code being a specialized version of a DBMS function created and loaded into the cache at run-time. A query with the bee code is executed using the open memory address found. |

| ABSTRACT | In general, a system is described that includes a set of one or more cameras and a computing device. The computing device receives a plurality of images of a three-dimensional environment captured by the one or more cameras, and a respective camera that captures a respective image is distinctly positioned at a respective particular location and in a respective particular direction. The computing device generates a plurality of image sets that each include at least three images. For each image set, the computing device calculates a plurality of predicted pairwise directions. The computing device compares a first sum of model pairwise directions with a second sum of the plurality of predicted pairwise directions and generates an inconsistency score for the respective image set. The computing device then reconstructs a digital representation of the three-dimensional environment depicted in the images. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and apparatus for subtractively fabricating three-dimensional structures relative to a surface of a substrate and for additively depositing metal and dopant atoms onto the surface and for diffusing them into the bulk. A chemical solution is applied to the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a spatial pattern of electron-hole pairs is generated by projecting a spatial pattern of illumination characterized by a specified intensity, wavelength and duration at each pixel of a plurality of pixels on the surface. Charge carriers are driven away from the surface of the semiconductor on a timescale short compared to the carrier recombination lifetime. Such methods are applied to creating a spatially varying doping profile in the semiconductor substrate, a photonic integrated circuit and an integrated photonic microfluidic circuit. |

| ABSTRACT | A synthetic metal dichalcogenide having a highly defected nanocrystalline layered structure, wherein layer spacing is larger than in perfect crystals of the same material, wherein the defected structure provides access to interlayer crystals of the same material, and wherein the defected structure facilitates a pseudocapacitive charge storage mechanism. The metal dichalcogenide is receptive to intercalation of ions such as Li ions, Na ions, Mg ions, and Ca ions, and does not undergo a phase transition upon intercalation of Li ions, Na ions, Mg ions, or Ca ions. The metal dichalcogenide can be used, for example, as a component of an electrode that also includes a carbon derivative, and a binder, which are intermixed to form the electrode. The resultant composite electrode is highly porous and highly electronically conductive, and is suitable for use in devices such as symmetric capacitors, asymmetric capacitors, rocking chair batteries, and other devices. |

| ABSTRACT | A digital fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL) with multi-rate dynamic element matching (DEM) and an adaptive mismatch-noise cancellation (MNC) is provided. The PLL includes a phase error to digital converter and a digital loop filter to suppress quantization noise of the phase error to digital converter and drive a digitally controlled oscillator. A digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with a multi-rate DEM encoder includes an integer bank of frequency control elements (FCE) and a fractional bank of frequency control elements. Adaptive mismatch-noise cancellation logic operates to cancel DCO phase error arising from frequency control element (FCE) static and dynamic mismatch error by estimating ideal MNC coefficient values during PLL normal operation, estimating MNC coefficient errors at each sample time, and updating the MNC coefficient values to approach zero (FCE) static and dynamic mismatch error. |

| ABSTRACT | Tunable filters, cancellers, and duplexers based on passive mixers. A tunable delay cell includes passive mixers electrically coupled together for receiving an input signal and outputting a delayed signal, each passive mixer comprising a plurality of mixer switches. The tunable delay includes a control circuit for providing, to each passive mixer, a respective plurality of local oscillator (LO) signals, one to each mixer switch of each passive mixer. The control circuit is configured to vary the LO signals to cause a target frequency band of the input signal to be delayed by a target delay time in propagating through the passive mixers. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of providing wireless communications in a wireless network can include wirelessly receiving a chirp spread-spectrum modulated signal at a first gateway device, the chirp spread-spectrum modulated signal being transmitted by a remote client device. The chirp spread-spectrum modulated signal can be demodulated at the first gateway device to provide demodulated data at the first gateway device. The demodulated data can be processed to provide an indication that a decode of a packet including the demodulated data failed. Time adjacent chirps included in the demodulated data can be combined to provide combined data at the first gateway device. A message can be transmitted from the first gateway device to a remote server responsive to an amplitude of the combined data exceeding a threshold value and the indication that the decode of the packet including the demodulated data failed. |

| ABSTRACT | A two-layer erasure-coded fault-tolerant distributed storage system offering atomic access for read and write operations is described. In some embodiments, a class of erasure codes known as regenerating codes (e.g. minimum bandwidth regenerating codes) for storage of data in a backend layer is used to reduce a cost of backend bulk storage and helps in reducing communication cost of read operations, when a value needs to be recreated from persistent storage in the backend layer. By separating the functionality of edge layer servers and backend servers, a modular implementation for atomicity using storage-efficient erasure-codes is provided. Such a two-layer modular architecture permits protocols needed for consistency implementation to be substantially limited to the interaction between clients and an edge layer, while protocols needed to implement erasure code are substantially limited to interaction between edge and backend layers. |

| ABSTRACT | A boiler has a shell surrounding a vertical centerline. The shell defines an inner surface having an inner diameter and an inner length extending between an upper upstream end and a lower downstream end. The inner surface defines a hollow interior, the boiler having a pre-combustion zone, a combustion zone downstream from the pre-combustion zone, and a post-combustion zone downstream from the combustion zone. The shell is tapered outward along its length in at least a portion of the combustion zone. An oxidizer inlet is in fluid communication with the pre-combustion zone, and a fuel nozzle introduces fuel into the combustion zone. A tube assembly is mounted in the hollow interior of the shell for transferring heat to fluid flowing through the tube assembly. A flue duct is in fluid communication with the post-combustion zone for transporting flue gases from the hollow interior. |

| ABSTRACT | A shaped charge produces a constant velocity jet. The shaped charge is comprised of individual modules which can be assembled to produce a constant velocity jet of arbitrary length. The resulting jet speed is approximately twice the detonation velocity and independent of the liner material. The modular design also allows different liner materials to be used sequentially in the same jet. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for optimizing a fiber optic sensor by properly clocking or rotationally orienting a window with a fiber optic focuser. This method may include shining light through the focuser into the window and receiving with a reflectometer a first reflection from a first surface of the window and a second reflection from a second surface of the window. Next, the method may include calculating a delta of intensities between the first and second reflections, and then rotating an orientation of the window to a next rotational orientation. The steps of rotating the orientation of the window, receiving reflections, and calculating their delta may be repeated any plurality of times to solve for a plurality of deltas. Then, the method may include the steps of determining which one of the deltas is the largest and fixing the window to the focuser at a rotational orientation associated therewith. |

| ABSTRACT | A wellbore inspection device includes a radiation generation source operable to emit neutrons, and a radiation detector fixed relative to the radiation generation source and operable to detect backscattered neutron radiation from a surrounding environment. The radiation detector includes a plurality of individually addressable detector elements arranged in one or more concentric rings. Respective amounts of backscattered neutron radiation detected by the individually addressable detector elements within a ring is indicative of the azimuthal direction of the detected backscattered neutron radiation, and the respective amount of backscattered neutron radiation detected by the individually addressable detector elements of two or more concentric rings is indicative of an energy level of the backscattered neutron radiation. The inspection device determines whether a potential anomaly is present in or around the wellbore, based at least in part on the respective amounts of backscattered radiation detected by the individually addressable detector elements. |

| ABSTRACT | The subject matter described herein includes a modular and extensible approach to integrate noisy measurements from multiple heterogeneous sensors that yield either absolute or relative observations at different and varying time intervals, and to provide smooth and globally consistent estimates of position in real time for autonomous flight. We describe the development of the algorithms and software architecture for a new 1.9 kg MAV platform equipped with an IMU, laser scanner, stereo cameras, pressure altimeter, magnetometer, and a GPS receiver, in which the state estimation and control are performed onboard on an Intel NUC 3rd generation i3 processor. We illustrate the robustness of our framework in large-scale, indoor-outdoor autonomous aerial navigation experiments involving traversals of over 440 meters at average speeds of 1.5 m/s with winds around 10 mph while entering and exiting buildings. |

| ABSTRACT | A synthetic metal dichalcogenide having a highly defected nanocrystalline layered structure, wherein layer spacing is larger than in perfect crystals of the same material, wherein the defected structure provides access to interlayer crystals of the same material, and wherein the defected structure facilitates a pseudocapacitive charge storage mechanism. The metal dichalcogenide is receptive to intercalation of ions such as Li ions, Na ions, Mg ions, and Ca ions, and does not undergo a phase transition upon intercalation of Li ions, Na ions, Mg ions, or Ca ions. The metal dichalcogenide can be used, for example, as a component of an electrode that also includes a carbon derivative, and a binder, which are intermixed to form the electrode. The resultant composite electrode is highly porous and highly electronically conductive, and is suitable for use in devices such as symmetric capacitors, asymmetric capacitors, rocking chair batteries, and other devices. |

| ABSTRACT | Various examples are provided related to fault-tolerant controller architectures for multi-level converters. In one example, a multi-level converter includes an array of power modules. The power modules can include a controller communicatively coupled to controllers of adjacent power modules in the array of power modules. Circuitry of the controllers can receive operational data from the adjacent power modules; identify a fault condition in an adjacent power module using the operational data; and initiate reconfiguration of the array of power modules in response to an indication of the fault condition, where the reconfiguration bypasses the adjacent power module. In another example, a method includes identifying a fault condition in an adjacent power module in an array of power modules based upon operational data from one or more adjacent power modules of the array; and initiating reconfiguration of the array of power modules in response to an indication of the fault condition. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of making a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) article by combining a preceramic polymer with one or more sized nanopowders and optional surfactants and/or solvents to form a mixture suitable for 3D printing, depositing the mixture on a mandrel, curing it to form a green body, and pyrolyzing the green body such that the nanocrystalline surface of the CMC article has sufficiently the same surface roughness and figure accuracy of the mandrel to enable the CMC article to be used without further polishing. The mixture can be a paste or slurry that is self supporting and exhibit pseudoplastic rheology. The preceramic polymer is preferably a precursor to SiC, and the nanopowders preferably comprise SiC. The article can be densified by using polymer infiltration pyrolysis, with or without nanoparticles. The curing and pyrolysis of the article can be performed with microwave radiation. An example structure is a gradient density lattice with a mirror surface for use in a cryogenically cooled infrared optical system such as an orbiting space telescope. |

Each of the filters are associated with a different set of the pixels, and each of the filters transmit a portion of electromagnetic radiation, comprising a different band of wavelengths, to the set of the pixels associated with the filter. A circuit connected to the pixels reads out a signal outputted from each of a plurality of different pixels in the set and outputs the signals to an adder. The adder sums the signals from each of the plurality of different pixels in the set to form a sum used for generating a weather map. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for forming tubular solid oxide cells is described. The methods include co-extrusion of an electrode precursor and a sacrificial material to form a multi-layered precursor followed by phase inversion and sintering to remove the sacrificial layer and form an electrode substrate for use in a tubular solid oxide cell. Upon phase inversion and sintering of the precursor, a micro-channel array can be generated in the electrode that is generally perpendicular to the tube surface. The open pored micro-scale geometry of the porous electrode substrate can significantly reduce resistance for fuel/gas transport and increase effective surface area for electrochemical reactions. |

| 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 | A method of making a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) article by combining a preceramic polymer with one or more sized nanopowders and optional surfactants and/or solvents to form a mixture suitable for 3D printing, depositing the mixture on a mandrel, curing it to form a green body, and pyrolyzing the green body such that the nanocrystalline surface of the CMC article has sufficiently the same surface roughness and figure accuracy of the mandrel to enable the CMC article to be used without further polishing. The mixture can be a paste or slurry that is self supporting and exhibit pseudoplastic rheology. The preceramic polymer is preferably a precursor to SiC, and the nanopowders preferably comprise SiC. The article can be densified by using polymer infiltration pyrolysis, with or without nanoparticles. The curing and pyrolysis of the article can be performed with microwave radiation. An example structure is a gradient density lattice with a mirror surface for use in a cryogenically cooled infrared optical system such as an orbiting space telescope. |

| ABSTRACT | Detection of corrosion and other defects in piping is needed to prevent catastrophic pipeline failure. Sensors, systems and methods are provided to enable detection of such defects. These apparatus and methods are configured to characterize pipe protected by insulation and conductive weather protection. The sensors may utilize inductive and/or solid state sensing element arrays operated in a magnetic field generated in part by a drive winding of the sensor. Multiple excitation frequencies are used to generate the magnetic field and record corresponding sensing element responses. Relatively high excitation frequencies may be used to estimate the properties of the weather protection and sensor lift-off while lower frequencies may be used to detect internal and external pipe damage. Linear arrays may be moved to generate damage images of the pipe providing size and location information for defects. Two dimensional sensor arrays may be used to provide imaging without moving the sensor. |

The MAC code (MAC1, MAC2, MAC3, MAC 4) is unique to each transmitter (110, 114, 118, 122) and is generated using the first encryption key (K; Kj,) and the one of said one or more further encryption keys (K; Kj,1, Kj,2, Kj,3, Kj,4) is transmitted a predetermined time after transmission of the MAC. The receiver (104) is operable, upon receipt of all or part of the first radionavigation signal (112, 116, 120, 124; 412, 416, 420, 424) from one or more of the first group of transmitters (110, 114, 118, 122), to authenticate a first radionavigation signal received from one of the first group of transmitters based on one of said one or more further encryption keys (K; Kj,1, Kj,2, Kj,3, Kj,4) received from that transmitter or from any other transmitter in said first group of transmitters. The same key K may be used for all transmitters in the first group, or each transmitter may use different key from the key chain. The transmitters may be formed into a second group, in addition to the first, with the second group using its own key chain in a similar manner. An advantage is to increase the availability of an authenticated position even in degraded reception environments. Embodiments also relate to the optimal transmission of authentication information—though the use of unpredictable bits interleaved with predictable bits—so as to minimize the signal predictability time and the increase of robustness against replay attacks. |

| ABSTRACT | An intelligent messaging server (herein ‘messaging server’) that is communicably coupled to trusted directory nodes receives an electronic request from a first computing device. The electronic request includes at least a unique identifier of a second user (herein ‘second user identifier’). Using the second user identifier, the messaging server determines that the second user has multiple accounts. Responsively, the messaging server generates and transmits an electronic selection message to the second user. The electronic selection message includes a link to a secure web page that lists the multiple accounts and prompts the second user to select one of the multiple accounts. Responsive to receiving the second user's selection, the messaging server generates an electronic record that includes at least an account identifier of the account selected by the second user, providing enhanced security to the second user's data via the trusted directory nodes. |

| ABSTRACT | A quantum mechanical radio frequency (RF) signaling system includes a transmission line that receives and conducts an RF pulse signal operating at a radio frequency, a first qubit having a quantum mechanical state that is a linear combination of at least two quantum mechanical eigenstates, and a first network of reactive electrical components having an input that is coupled to the transmission line for receiving the RF pulse signal and an output that is coupled to the first qubit. The first network of reactive electrical components attenuates the amplitude of the RF pulse signal and produces a first attenuated RF pulse signal that is applied to the first qubit. The first attenuated RF pulse signal operates at the radio frequency and has a first attenuated amplitude that causes a predefined change in the linear combination of at least two quantum mechanical eigenstates within the first qubit. |

| ABSTRACT | A device is described for transmitting mechanical power that allows variable output-speed to input-speed ratios. Gear sets such as epicyclic gear sets have components that rotate about a common axis selectively at the same rotational speed and at different relative rotational speeds as determined by at least one of fluid flow and fluid pressure. One or more inlet ports and fluid passageways introduce a working fluid into one or more volume spaces between the components. The internal pressure and flow of the working fluid through the device is controlled to provide substantially infinite variability of the output-speed to input-speed ratios for applications where, for example, an engine provides the mechanical power for propelling a vehicle. |

| ABSTRACT | A method includes generating a set of symbols based on an incoming data vector. The set of symbols includes K symbols, K being a positive integer. A first transformation matrix including an equiangular tight frame (ETF) transformation or a nearly equiangular tight frame (NETF) transformation is generated, having dimensions N×K, where N is a positive integer and has a value less than K. A second transformation matrix having dimensions K×K is generated based on the first transformation matrix. A third transformation matrix having dimensions K×K is generated by performing a series of unitary transformations on the second transformation matrix. A first data vector is transformed into a second data vector having a length N based on the third transformation matrix and the set of symbols. A signal representing the second data vector is sent to a transmitter for transmission of a signal representing the second data vector to a receiver. |

| ABSTRACT | Name based Internet of Things (IoT) discovery includes receiving domain name system (DNS) events. An Internet Protocol (IP) address to name mapping is built based on the DNS events. A data communication event occurring in a computer network is received. A destination IP address in the data communication event is mapped to a domain name by querying the IP address to name mapping. Whether the data communication event is associated with an IoT device is determined based on the domain name satisfying a rule. |

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, August 04, 2020.
The FedInvent Weekly Patent Details Page contains a subset of patent information to provide a deeper dive into the week’s taxpayer-funded patents to help the reader better understand where a patent fits in the federal innovation ecosphere.
HOW IS THE INFORMATION ORGANIZED?
Patents are organized by the funding agency. Within each group, the patents are organized in numeric order. A patent funded by more than one agency will appear in the section of each of the agencies that funded the research and development that resulted in the invention. This approach gives the reader a complete view of the department or agency activity for the week.
WHAT INFORMATION WILL I FIND?
THE PANEL
There is a panel for each patent that contains the patent number and the title of the patent. When you click the panel, it opens to reveal the following information:
FUNDED BY
The agencies that funded the grants, contracts, or other research agreements that resulted in the patent. FedInvent includes as much information on the source of the funding as possible. The information is presented in a hierarchy going from the Federal Department down to the agencies, subagencies, and offices that funded the work. Here are two examples:
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
Department of Defense (DOD)
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
Army Research Office (ARO)
We do our best to provide detailed information about the funding. In some cases, the patent only reports limited information on the origins of the funding. FedInvents presents what it can confirm. We add the patents without the information required by the Bayh-Dole Act to our list of patents worthy of further investigation.
APPLICANT(S) and ASSIGNEES
FedInvent includes both the Applicants and the Assignees because having both provides more information about where the inventive work was done and by what organizations. Many organizations — universities, corporations, and federal agencies — standardize the Assignee/Owner information by the time a patent is granted. In the case of federal patents, many of the patents use the agency headquarters information for patent assignment.
Showing just the headquarters address would make Washington, DC the epicenter of all taxpayer-funded research and development. Providing both the applicant information and the assignee information provides a more accurate picture of where important taxpayer funded innovation is happening in America. Here are two examples from two different patents:
APPLICANT: U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD
ASSIGNEE: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army Washington, DC
APPLICANT: Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)
ASSIGNEE(S): The Regents of the University of California (Oakland, California); Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)
INVENTOR(S)
The inventors appear in the same order as they appear on the patent. FedInvents presents the names in first name/last name order because they are easier to read than the last name/first name order of the names on the USPTO patent documents.
ABSTRACT
The abstract as it appears on the patent.
FILED
The date of the patent application including the day of the week.
APPL NO
This is the patent application serial number. If you’d like to learn more about how application serial numbers work you can go to the Lists Page.
ART UNIT
Patent data includes the Art Unit where a patent was examined. (The Art Unit isn’t available for published patent applications.) The Art Unit provides insight into what group of patent examiners prosecuted the patent application and the subject matter that the examiners work on. For example:
3793 — Medical Instruments, Diagnostic Equipment, and Treatment Devices
You can learn more about ART UNITS on the FedInvent Patents Weekly panel called About Tech Center or you can find information on the FedInvent Lists Page.
CURRENT CPC
Current CPC provides a list of the Cooperative Patent Classification symbols assigned to the patent. These are the CPC symbols assigned at the time the patent was granted.
The FedInvent Project is a patent classification maximalist endeavor or put another way, we believe that more you understand about patent classification the more you'll learn about the nature of the invention and the types of work that the federal government is funding.
The symbol presented in BOLD is the symbol identified as the "first" classification which is the most relevant classification on the patent. The date that follows the symbol is the date of the most recent revision to the art classed there.
- A61B 1/149 (20130101)
- A61B 1/71 (20130101)
- A61B 1/105 (20130101)
The CPC symbols match the classifications found on the PDF version of the patent. Over time, the classifications on the full-text version of the patent change to reflect how USPTO organizes patent art to support its examiners. The two sets of CPCs don’t always match.
VIEW PATENT
As of June 2021, we include two ways to view a patent at USPTO. FedInvent provides a link to the Full-Text Version of the patent and a link to the PDF version of the patent.
HOW DO I FIND A SPECIFIC PATENT ON A PAGE?
You can use the Command F or Control F to find a specific patent you are interested in.
HOW DO I GET HERE?
You navigate to the details of a patent by clicking the information icon that follows a patent on the FedInvent Patents Weekly Report.
You can also reach this page using the weekly page link that looks like this:
