| ABSTRACT | Embodiments of a novel system for delivering an expression vector encoding an antigen to a subject that allows for spatiotemporal control over stimulation of the subject's immune response to the antigen are provided. In some embodiments, the expression vector delivery system includes a polymer linked to an adjuvant in prodrug form that can form polymer nanoparticles and enter a cell (such as an immune cell) under physiological conditions. In some embodiments, the adjuvant is linked to the polymer by an enzyme degradable labile bond, the cleavage of which activates the adjuvant to stimulate an immune response. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally relates to assays of enzymes responsible for phosphoregulation including kinases (such as protein kinases, which mediate protein and peptide phosphorylation) and phosphatases (such as protein phosphatases, which mediate protein and peptide dephosphorylation). Certain aspects of the invention use lanthanide ions such as europium ions that exhibit chelation-enhanced luminescence. Phosphorylation of a peptide by a kinase may cause a complex to form between the lanthanide ion, the phosphate group, and a reporter group such as a hydroxyquinoline, which results in luminescence when in the complexed state. Thus, in certain embodiments, determination of luminescence may be indicative of kinase activity. Certain embodiments also include the use of substrates for detection of phosphatase activity, where dephosphorylation results in a loss of signal assay. Other aspects are generally related to techniques for making and using such peptides or complexes, kits involving such peptides or complexes, and the like. |

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

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to a hyperspectral imaging system for denoising and/or color unmixing multiple overlapping spectra in a low signal-to-noise regime with a fast analysis time. This system may be configured to carry out Hyper-Spectral Phasors (HySP) calculations to effectively analyze hyper-spectral time-lapse data. For example, this system may be configured to carry out Hyper-Spectral Phasors (HySP) calculations to effectively analyze five-dimensional (5D) hyper-spectral time-lapse data. Advantages of this imaging system may include: (a) fast computational speed, (b) the ease of phasor analysis, and (c) a denoising algorithm to obtain the minimally-acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). An unmixed color image of a target may be generated. These images may be used in diagnosis of a health condition, which may enhance a patient's clinical outcome and evolution of the patient's health. |

| ABSTRACT | Accelerated senescence has been shown to occur as a primary response to cellular stresses including DNA damaging agents (e.g., ionizing radiation) and is widely believed to be caused by continuous proliferative signaling in the presence of cell cycle arrest. The present disclosure provides a method of reducing cellular senescence in non-cancerous cells following exposure to ionizing radiation. The method comprises administering to a subject before, after, or concurrently with exposure to ionizing radiation an effective amount of a compound that inhibits activation of an insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) or a compound that inhibits a protein involved in an IGF-1R induced signaling cascade. Also provided is a composition for use in reducing cellular senescence in non-cancerous cells following exposure to ionizing radiation, the composition comprising a compound that inhibits activation of an insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) or a compound that inhibits a protein involved in an IGF-1R induced signaling cascade. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for calculating efficiency of a rotary friction welding process are described herein. An example method can include measuring kinetic energy transferred from a welding machine to an interface of a welded joint, and calculating an efficiency of a rotary friction welding process based on the measured kinetic energy. For example, a workpiece torque experienced by a sample can be measured, and an energy associated with the workpiece torque can be calculated. The efficiency of the rotary friction welding process can then be calculated using the energy associated with the workpiece torque. |

| ABSTRACT | Flexural digital materials are discrete parts that can be assembled into a lattice structure to produce an actuatable structure capable of coordinated reversible spatially-distributed deformation. The structure comprises a set of discrete flexural digital material units assembled according to a lattice geometry, with a majority of the discrete units being connected, or adapted to be connected, to at least two other units according to the geometry. In response to certain types of loading of the structure, a coordinated reversible spatially-distributed deformation of at least part of the structure occurs. The deformation of the structure is due to the shape or material composition of the discrete units, the configuration of connections between the units, and/or the configuration of the lattice geometry. Exemplary types of such actuatable structures include airplane wing sections and robotic leg structures. An automated process may be employed for constructing an actuatable structure from flexural digital materials. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a novel, general, and facile strategy for the creation of small molecules with high structural and stereochemical complexity. Aspects of the methods include ring system distortion reactions that are systematically applied to rapidly convert readily available natural products to structurally complex compounds with diverse molecular architectures. Through evaluation of chemical properties including fraction of sp3 carbons, ClogP, and the number of stereogenic centers, these compounds are shown to be significantly more complex and diverse than those in standard screening collections. This approach is demonstrated with natural products (gibberellic acid, adrenosterone, and quinine) from three different structural classes, and methods are described for the application of this strategy to any suitable natural product. |

| ABSTRACT | A bleed air selector valve allows selection and extraction of bleed air from a plurality of different engine bleed air ports to optimize engine efficiency and to maintain bleed requirements using a single line replaceable unit. The bleed air selector valve uses a relatively simple arrangement of poppets, check valves, and thermostatic compensation to augment high and low temperature to within acceptable limits. The bleed air selector valve significantly reduces weight, cost, envelope, and system complexity as compared to known two-port bleed systems with heat exchanger thermal compensation. |

| ABSTRACT | A vibration damping system employs a component having a directionally sensitive element thereon, mounted to an aircraft, which experiences dynamic excitation that induces bending deflection in the component that will reorient the directionally sensitive element. At least one tuned mass damper is mounted on the component in an orientation in which an internal mass of the tuned mass damper is moveable such that the tuned massed damper absorbs and attenuates at least a portion of the deflective motion, to thereby suppress bending deflection of the component in the particular axial direction and generally maintain the linearity of the directionally sensitive element. |

| ABSTRACT | Optical and electronic detection of chemicals, and particularly strong electron-donors, by 2H to 1T phase-based transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) films, detection apparatus incorporating the TMD films, methods for forming the detection apparatus, and detection systems and methods based on the TMD films are provided. The detection apparatus includes a 2H phase TMD film that transitions to the 1T phase under exposure to strong electron donors. After exposure, the phase state can be determined to assess whether all or a portion of the TMD has undergone a transition from the 2H phase to the 1T phase. Following detection, TMD films in the 1T phase can be converted back to the 2H phase, resulting in a reusable chemical sensor that is selective for strong electron donors. |

| ABSTRACT | The methods and apparatus allow one user to test cable continuity using a wire-configurable directional connector. The methods and apparatus may transmit a first and second voltage pulse through a first and second wire of a cable under test, respectively, having a wire-configurable directional connector attached. Both voltage pulses travel through the wire-configurable directional connector. The first voltage pulse selectively leaves at least one of the second wire and a third wire of the cable under test and the second voltage pulse selectively leaves the third wire. The methods and apparatus may store a pre-determined pattern of a returning voltage pulse specific to the cable under test, and determine a state of the first, second, and third wires in response to receiving the first and second voltage pulses. |

| ABSTRACT | A circuit includes a Superconducting Quantum Interference Array (SQIF), a bias circuit, and a coil. The SQIF generates an output voltage that is a transfer function of the magnetic flux perpendicularly passing through the SQIF. An external magnetic field and a bias magnetic field supply the magnetic flux. The bias circuit generates a bias current for biasing the SQIF at an operating point. The coil generates the bias magnetic field through the SQIF from the bias current of the bias circuit. The bias magnetic field provides nullifying feedback to the SQIF that counterbalances a low-frequency portion of the external magnetic field, such that the output voltage of the SQIF detects a high-frequency portion of the external magnetic field. The circuit can be a receiver with the output voltage of the SQIF detecting an electromagnetic signal while the receiver is moving with changing orientation relative to the Earth's magnetic field. |

| ABSTRACT | A chirped radio frequency signal is transmitted across an area of a potential threat. A reflected radio frequency return signal from an open barrel of a weapon at a location within the area of the potential threat is received at an incident angle through an aperture. An antenna at a position in an antenna array detects the reflected radio frequency return signal received at the incident angle through the aperture. The position of the antenna within the antenna array corresponds to a direction from which the reflected radio frequency return signal originates. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for facilitating real time tracking of an airborne asset via downlink of GPS signals that are usable for determining asset location information from the asset to a ground station may include receiving a first GPS signal and a second GPS signal at a device disposed on the airborne asset and combining the first and second GPS signals to form combined signal responsive to filtration and amplification of the first and second GPS signals. The method may further include employing an overlay analog translation to convert the combined signal into a composite signal at a different frequency than the combined signal, generating a pilot carrier frequency for association with the composite signal, and amplifying the composite signal prior to transmission via the downlink from the airborne asset to the ground station. The pilot carrier frequency and amplitude may be adjustable. |

| ABSTRACT | Three or more base optical materials are selectively combined into a trans-gradient index (GRIN) optical element (e.g., a lens). A wavelength-dependent index of refraction for light propagating perpendicular to the three or more optical materials equals: a volume fraction of a first optical material multiplied by a refractive index of the first optical material, plus a volume fraction of a second optical material multiplied by a refractive index of the second optical material, plus one minus the volume fraction of the first optical material and the volume of the second optical material all multiplied by the refractive index of a third optical material. The wavelength-dependent index of refraction distribution and a refractive index dispersion through the GRIN optical element may be independently specified from one another. A local refractive index at any point in the optical element is a fixed function of a refractive index of each individual optical material. |

| ABSTRACT | A video camera captures images of retroreflection from the retina of an eye. These images are captured while the eye rotates. Thus, different images are captured in different rotational positions of the eye. A computer calculates, for each image, the eye's direction of gaze. In turn, the direction of gaze is used to calculate the precise location of a small region of the retina at which the retroflection occurs. A computer calculates a digital image of a portion of the retina by summing data from multiple retroreflection images. The digital image of the retina may be used for many practical applications, including medical diagnosis and biometric identification. In some scenarios, the video camera captures detailed images of the retina of a subject, while the subject is so far away that the rest of the subject's face is below the diffraction limit of the camera. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for network intrusion detection at higher order OSI layers of the network using machine learning can include the initial step of reformatting data packets that are being transmitted between two access points on the monitored network from an OSI lower level TCP/IP data packets format into an OSI Session layer or above format at a reformatting module, to yield a conversation dataset of high order conversations. The methods and systems can also include the steps of training a machine learning module using the OSI Session layer-formatted conversation dataset, and classifying the network activity as either normal or abnormal network activity using the trained machine learning module. For some embodiments and systems, the step of inspecting the TCP/IP data packet content with a rules-based module and using rules-based criteria, can be included for additional security. |

| ABSTRACT | A magnet-free non-reciprocal device realized using modulated filters. The device includes one or more filters in one or more branches, where each branch connects two ports or a port and a central node. The poles and zeros of each of the first, second and third filters are modulated in time such that degenerate modes at each pole and zero is split thereby destructively interfering at one or more output ports and adding up at another output port allowing non-reciprocal transmission, isolation and/or non-reciprocal phase shift. The device is able to realize a magnet-free full-duplex communication scheme implementing a magnet-free circulator for radio frequency cancellation or a magnet-free isolator or gyrator. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention typically features integrative configurability for transportation/storage, and disintegrative configurability for operation. Two half-cases are coupled to obtain a case. A case is uncoupled to obtain two half-cases. Each half-case houses a solar panel (pivotably connected to the half-case) and a U-bar (pivotably connected to the solar panel). The solar panel is pivoted away from the half-case's interior to the angle-of-inclination desired for collecting solar energy. The U-bar is pivoted away from the solar panel's back to securely fit into one of plural parallel slots provided across the half-case's interior, the U-bar thereby holding the solar panel in place at the desired angle-of-inclination. The half-cases are laid flat individually to collect solar energy. A half-case is “compacted” by pivoting the U-bar proximate the solar panel's back and pivoting the solar panel proximate the half-case's interior. Two complementary half-cases, each compacted, are (re)attached to form a portable case. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for improving isolation between a cosite transmitter-receiver system. The transmitter may send a first plurality of transmit signals from multiple transmit ports. The first plurality of transmit signals may be related to one another by a first set of complex weights. The receiver may detect channel-impaired versions of the first plurality of transmit signals at one or more receive ports. The receiver may analyze channel-impaired versions of the first plurality of transmit signals to estimate channel state information. The transmitter may use the channel state information to determine a second set of complex weights which will reduce the power received at one or more ports of the receiver when applied to a second plurality of transmit signals. The second set of complex weights may vary with frequency. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and apparatus are provided for autonomously detecting and reporting anomalies in actions of an autonomous mobile node, or in behaviors of a swarm of autonomous mobile nodes to an operator. The autonomous mobile node may experience anomalies or unexpected situations due to various failures or external influence (e.g. natural weather phenomena, enemy threats). During a training phase a prediction model and a structured model may be established from measurement data received from one or more sensors of an autonomous mobile node or a swarm of nodes while executing an action or behavior under normal circumstances. A prediction model forecasts the expected outcome of an action or behavior, and structured model helps quantify the similarity of a learned action or behavior to the currently observed situation. Based on the measurement data applicable models can be used for an action or behavior for anomaly detection in the action or behavior. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to LK-SURF, Robust Kalman Filter, HAR-SLAM, and Landmark Promotion SLAM methods. LK-SURF is an image processing technique that combines Lucas-Kanade feature tracking with Speeded-Up Robust Features to perform spatial and temporal tracking using stereo images to produce 3D features can be tracked and identified. The Robust Kalman Filter is an extension of the Kalman Filter algorithm that improves the ability to remove erroneous observations using Principal Component Analysis and the X84 outlier rejection rule. Hierarchical Active Ripple SLAM is a new SLAM architecture that breaks the traditional state space of SLAM into a chain of smaller state spaces, allowing multiple tracked objects, multiple sensors, and multiple updates to occur in linear time with linear storage with respect to the number of tracked objects, landmarks, and estimated object locations. In Landmark Promotion SLAM, only reliable mapped landmarks are promoted through various layers of SLAM to generate larger maps. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to methods of metathesizing olefins using catalysts previously considered to be practically inactive. The present invention further relates to novel photosensitive compositions, their use as photoresists, and methods related to patterning polymer layers on substrates. Further, modifications to the compositions and method provide for an unprecedented functionalization of the compositions, useful for example in the preparation of sensors, drug delivery systems, and tissue scaffolds. The novel compositions and associated methods also provide for the opportunity to prepare 3-dimensional objects which provide new access to critically dimensioned devices, including for example photonic devices. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a convenient solution-based synthesis for metal halide perovskite particles. This method requires only mild conditions and can be easily scaled up. A ligand of a proper molecule size and an optimized precursor ratio are important to obtain pure phase particles. As an example, lead bromide perovskite particles exhibited a narrow monochromatic band gap, which can be tuned by partial halide substitution, and PLQY up to 75% making this material an excellent candidate for light emission and display applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Various technologies presented herein relate to heating a fuel and enhancing fuel and charge-gas mixing inside a combustion chamber to enable minimal, or no, generation of soot and/or other undesired emissions during ignition and subsequent combustion of the locally premixed mixtures. To enable sufficient mixing of the fuel and charge-gas, a jet of fuel can be directed to pass through a bore of a duct causing charge-gas to be drawn into the bore creating turbulence to mix the fuel and the drawn charge-gas. The duct can be heated to provision heating of the fuel and charge-gas mixture. The duct can be located proximate to an opening in a tip of a fuel injector. An ignition assist component can be located downstream of the duct to facilitate ignition of the fuel/charge-gas mixture. |

| ABSTRACT | Despite otherwise uncomfortable conditions in a surrounding environment, a customizable microenvironment can be created around a user to maintain a comfortable temperature and/or humidity level using a comfort unit. For example, the environment may be an office building where conditions are out of the comfortable range to save on energy or for other reasons, a factory/shop environment that is poorly conditioned, or an outdoor location with little to no conditioning. A sensing unit can monitor biometric and environmental data and can determine a comfort level of the user. The comfort unit can then dynamically respond to the determined comfort level and adjust the microenvironment to improve the user's comfort level. The comfort unit can follow the user as the user moves within the macro-environment, or can otherwise move within the macro-environment to achieve certain functions, such as recharging or spatial shifting of thermal load within the overall macro-environment. |

| ABSTRACT | The various technologies presented herein relate to fabrication and operation of a heat exchanger that is configured to extract heat from an underlying substrate. Heat can be extracted by way of an air gap formed between an impeller and a baseplate. By utilizing a pump to create an initial air gap that is further maintained by rotation of the impeller relative to the baseplate, a spring can be utilized that can apply a force of greater magnitude to the impeller than is used in a conventional approach, thus enabling the weight of the impeller to be negligible with respect to a width of the air gap, thereby conferring the desirable feature of orientation independence with respect to gravity with no performance degradation. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are various technologies pertaining to extracting one or more features from trajectory data recorded during motion of a body, and further, generating a n-dimensional feature vector based upon the one or more extracted features. The n-dimensional feature vector enables expedited analysis of the trajectory data from which the feature vector was generated. For example, rather than having to analyze a trajectory curve comprising a large number of time-position data points, the n-dimensional feature vector can be compared with one or more search parameters to facilitate clustering of the trajectory data associated with the n-dimensional feature vector with other trajectory data which also satisfies the search request. The trajectory data can be plotted on a screen in combination with the n-dimensional feature vector, and other pertinent information. The trajectory data, etc., can be displayed using heat maps or other graphical representation. |

| ABSTRACT | A processing system tracks counts of accesses to memory pages using a set of counters located at the memory module that stores the pages, wherein the counts are adjusted at least in part based on refreshes of the memory pages. This approach allows a processing system to efficiently maintain the counts with relatively small counters and with relatively low overhead. Furthermore, the rate at which the counters are adjusted, relative to the page refreshes, is adjustable, so that the access counts are useful for a wide variety of application types. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems are provided for continuous-flow production of radioisotopes with high specific activity. Radioisotopes with high specific activity produced according to the methods described are also provided. The methods can include causing a liquid capture matrix to contact a target containing a target nuclide; irradiating the target with radiation, ionizing radiation, particles, or a combination thereof to produce the radionuclides that are ejected from the target and into the capture matrix; and causing the liquid capture matrix containing the radionuclides to flow from the target to recover the capture matrix containing the radionuclides with high specific activity. The methods are suitable for the production of a variety of radionuclides. For example, in some aspects the target nuclide is 237Np, and the radionuclide is 238Np that decays to produce 238Pu. In other aspects, the target nuclide is 98Mo, and the radionuclide is Mo that decays to produce 99mTc. |

| ABSTRACT | An electromagnetic mechanical pulser implements a transverse wave metallic comb stripline TWMCS kicker having inwardly opposing teeth that retards a phase velocity of an RF traveling wave to match the kinetic velocity of a continuous electron beam, causing the beam to oscillate before being chopped into pulses by an aperture. The RF phase velocity is substantially independent of RF frequency and amplitude, thereby enabling independent tuning of the electron pulse widths and repetition rate. The TWMCS further comprises an electron pulse picker (EPP) that applies a pulsed transverse electric field across the TWMCS to deflect electrons out of the beam, allowing only selected electrons and/or groups of electrons to pass through. The EPP pulses can be synchronized with the RF traveling wave and/or with a pumping trigger of a transverse electron microscope (TEM), for example to obtain dynamic TEM images in real time. |

| ABSTRACT | A new rotor start-up system is provided for application to rotating systems such as stationary or vehicular electromechanical battery systems. An embodiment of the system consists of a “locator” that includes a stationary permanent-magnet pole above which is a circular ferromagnetic (e.g., iron) strip embedded in the lower, inner edge of the flywheel rotor. The lower edge of this strip is wave-like so that the magnet can pull the rotor around to a position where the position relative to the minimum capacity between the rotor and stator electrodes is such as to launch the rotor in a chosen direction, i.e., either clock-wise or counter-clockwise. Startup from rest is then accomplished by applying a short high-voltage ac or dc pulse to the EMB capacitor. |

| ABSTRACT | An industrial asset may be associated with a plurality of monitoring nodes, each monitoring node generating a series of monitoring node values over time representing current operation of the industrial asset. An abnormality detection computer may determine that at least one abnormal monitoring node is currently being attacked or experiencing a fault. A virtual sensing estimator may continuously execute an adaptive learning process to create or update virtual sensor models for the monitoring nodes. Responsive to an indication that a monitoring node is currently being attacked or experiencing a fault, the virtual sensing estimator may be dynamically reconfigured to estimate a series of virtual node values for the abnormal monitoring node or nodes based on information from normal monitoring nodes and appropriate virtual sensor models. The series of monitoring node values from the abnormal monitoring node or nodes may then be replaced with the virtual node values. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for calculating efficiency of a rotary friction welding process are described herein. An example method can include measuring kinetic energy transferred from a welding machine to an interface of a welded joint, and calculating an efficiency of a rotary friction welding process based on the measured kinetic energy. For example, a workpiece torque experienced by a sample can be measured, and an energy associated with the workpiece torque can be calculated. The efficiency of the rotary friction welding process can then be calculated using the energy associated with the workpiece torque. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for microassembly of heterogeneous materials comprises contacting a stamp with an ink disposed on a donor substrate to form an inked stamp, where the ink is reversibly bound to the stamp. The inked stamp is stamped onto a receiving substrate or onto an object on the receiving substrate, and the stamp is removed, thereby transferring the ink to the receiving substrate. The ink and the receiving substrate or the ink and the object are thermally joined, thereby forming a microassembly of heterogeneous materials. The ink may comprise a first material and the receiving substrate or the object may comprise a second material different from the first material. |

| ABSTRACT | A monolithic laser cavity (100, 200, 300, 400) for generating an output series of pulses (37) based on an input pump signal 36. This is achieved by a novel cavity design that utilizes a transparent, low-loss, and near zero-dispersion spacer (38) to form an optical resonator without the use of wave-guiding effects. The pulse forming material (32), optical elements (10-16, 30, 31, 33), and the laser gain medium (34) are in direct contact with the spacer and/or each other without any free-space sections between them. Therefore, the light inside the laser cavity never travels through free space. |

| ABSTRACT | Examples described herein relate to reducing a magnitude of a supply voltage for a circuit element of an optical transmitter device. In some such examples, the circuit element is a driving element that is to receive a first electrical data signal and to provide a second electrical data signal to an optical element that is to provide an optical data signal. A testing element is to compare the optical data signal to the first electrical data signal to determine whether the optical transmitter device meets a performance threshold. When the device meets the performance threshold, a regulating element is to reduce a magnitude of the supply voltage of the driving element. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems are provided for continuous-flow production of radioisotopes with high specific activity. Radioisotopes with high specific activity produced according to the methods described are also provided. The methods can include causing a liquid capture matrix to contact a target containing a target nuclide; irradiating the target with radiation, ionizing radiation, particles, or a combination thereof to produce the radionuclides that are ejected from the target and into the capture matrix; and causing the liquid capture matrix containing the radionuclides to flow from the target to recover the capture matrix containing the radionuclides with high specific activity. The methods are suitable for the production of a variety of radionuclides. For example, in some aspects the target nuclide is 237Np, and the radionuclide is 238Np that decays to produce 238Pu. In other aspects, the target nuclide is 98Mo, and the radionuclide is Mo that decays to produce 99mTc. |

| ABSTRACT | An electromagnetic mechanical pulser implements a transverse wave metallic comb stripline TWMCS kicker having inwardly opposing teeth that retards a phase velocity of an RF traveling wave to match the kinetic velocity of a continuous electron beam, causing the beam to oscillate before being chopped into pulses by an aperture. The RF phase velocity is substantially independent of RF frequency and amplitude, thereby enabling independent tuning of the electron pulse widths and repetition rate. The TWMCS further comprises an electron pulse picker (EPP) that applies a pulsed transverse electric field across the TWMCS to deflect electrons out of the beam, allowing only selected electrons and/or groups of electrons to pass through. The EPP pulses can be synchronized with the RF traveling wave and/or with a pumping trigger of a transverse electron microscope (TEM), for example to obtain dynamic TEM images in real time. |

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, October 13, 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.
