| ABSTRACT | In some aspects, the disclosed technology relates to reducing respiratory-induced motion artifacts for accelerated imaging. In one embodiment, magnetic resonance data may be acquired for an area of a subject containing the heart. The acquired data may include motion-corrupted data due to respiration of the subject. From the acquired data, an image may be independently reconstructed for each of a plurality of time frames, with each time frame corresponding to one of a plurality of heartbeats. A region containing the heart of the subject may be automatically detected in the reconstructed images, and rigid motion registration may be performed on the region of the reconstructed images containing the heart. Based on the rigid motion registration, a linear phase shift for motion correction may be determined. The linear phase shift may be applied to the motion-corrupted data to produce linear phase-shifted data, and a k-t image reconstruction may be performed on the linear phase-shifted data to produce motion-corrected images. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are chemoembolic compositions and agents. The compositions include one or more anti-cancer agents and a silk-elastinlike protein polymer, wherein the compositions are liquids prior to administration to a subject but convert to hydrogels upon administration to the subject. Administration of the chemoembolic compositions to tumor and/or tumor vasculature in a subject having cancer can result in reduced or inhibited blood flow to the tumor as well as localized, sustained release of the anti-cancer agent in the vicinity of the tumor. Reduction in blood flow, in turn, results in a reduction of tumor volume and/or inhibition of tumor growth, while localized release of the anti-cancer agent results in reduced systemic effects and lower overall toxicity of treatment with the compositions. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to the use of cyclic oligosaccharides as chemical complexants of lipofuscin bisretinoids (A2E) to prevent and treat eye (i.e., retinal or macular) disease. Monomeric, dimeric, multimeric, or polymeric oligosaccharide rings act as pharmacologic agents to prevent and treat ophthalmologic disorders triggered by the accumulation of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which occurs as a consequence of either genetic disorders, such as Stargardt Disease (SD) and Best Disease (BD), or aging, such as Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), or other diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa, and cone-rod dystrophy. |

| ABSTRACT | An immune-modulating biomaterial comprising a hydrogel scaffold coupled to D-amino acid containing peptides having unexpected properties in vivo is described. For example, certain inflammatory reactions in vivo are significantly increased around the D-peptide containing particles of hydrogel scaffold as compared to particles that contain both L and D peptides or L peptides alone. In addition, these D-peptide compositions are further observed to enhance wound healing and improve the tensile strength of healed tissues. For these and other reasons, the D-amino acid hydrogel materials disclosed herein are useful in a number of methodologies that seek to modulate the immune response and/or wound healing. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides methods of screening for a sortilin binding antagonist. In some embodiments, the methods include incubating an agent with a sortilin protein and a sortilin ligand, where the sortilin protein and sortilin ligand are each attached to a member of a fluorescence donor/acceptor pair, exciting the fluorescence donor of the fluorescence donor/acceptor pair, and detecting fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence donor at a second wavelength and fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence acceptor at a third wavelength. A decrease in the ratio of the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence acceptor at the third wavelength to the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence donor at the second wavelength, as compared to the ratio in the absence of the agent, indicates that the agent is a sortilin binding antagonist. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and devices are provided for electrical neural blockade and stimulation of dysfunctional or transferred nerves. For example, a method is provided including identifying a dysfunctional or transferred nerve, attaching an electrode array to the dysfunctional or transferred nerve proximal to the target musculature, delivering an electrical neural blockade signal, and stimulating the dysfunctional or transferred nerve distal to the point of neural blockade. A system is also provided with an electrode array configured to attach proximally to a dysfunctional or transferred nerve and deliver an electrical neural blockade signal with a neuromuscular stimulating electrode array placed distal to the point of neural blockade, and a processor in communication with the electrode arrays and configured to provide stimulation instructions based on the detected activity of the other neuromusculature. A method is further provided for identifying and treating dysfunction arising from aberrant neural regeneration for which contralateral paired neuromusculature exists. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein is a new antidote for the rapid elimination of carbon monoxide from hemoglobin, including brain, heart, and red cell hemoglobin. The disclosed therapy involves the use of modified human globins, particularly neuroglobins modified at residue 64 and cytoglobins modified at residue 81, which bind carbon monoxide with extremely high affinity. The monomeric mutant globins are infused into blood, where they rapidly and irreversibly sequester carbon monoxide, and thus limit toxic effects of carbon monoxide on cellular respiration and oxygen transport and utilization. |

| ABSTRACT | In a first invention, a SCAPE system routes light from a tilted intermediate image plane (170) to an infinity space disposed behind a third objective (180). A first dichroic beam splitter (52) positioned in the infinity space routes light from the intermediate image plane with different wavelengths in different directions. First and second light detector arrays (90) capture first and second wavelength images, respectively, and optical components (54,56,58,82) route light having the first and second wavelengths towards the first and second light detectors, respectively. In a second invention, a SCAPE system is used to capture a plurality of images while a sample is perturbed (e.g., vibrated, deformed, pushed, pulled, stretched, or squeezed) in order to visualize the impact of the perturbation on the sample. |

| ABSTRACT | Non-invasive electroencephalogram (EEG)-based methods for detecting a spreading depolarization secondary to a brain injury in a patient who exhibits high-amplitude delta activity in at least one channel of a scalp EEG of an injured brain hemisphere of the patient include (a) recording a baseline scalp EEG pattern in the patient at a channel exhibiting high amplitude delta activity; (b) recording a continuous scalp EEG pattern in the patient across a time frame at the at least one channel; and (c) detecting a spreading depolarization during the time frame by observing at least one feature indicative of a spreading depolarization in the continuous scalp EEG recording pattern relative to the baseline scalp EEG pattern at the at least one channel. Scalp EEG recordings are time-compressed prior to analysis. Methods of treating brain-injured patients and triaging brain-injured patients apply the non-invasive EEG methods. |

| ABSTRACT | In some applications, a piston of a hydraulic actuator may move at high speeds, and large undesired forces may be generated if the piston reaches an end-stop of the hydraulic actuator at a high speed. The undesired forces may, for example, cause mechanical damage in the hydraulic actuator. A controller may receive information indicative of the piston reaching a first position at a first threshold distance from the end-stop, and, in response, may modify a signal to a valve assembly controlling flow of hydraulic fluid to and from the hydraulic actuator. Further, the controller may receive information indicative of the piston reaching a second position at a second threshold distance closer to the end-stop of the hydraulic actuator, and, in response, the controller may further modify the signal to the valve assembly so as to apply a force on the piston in a away from the end-stop. |

| ABSTRACT | Pressure relief holes are sized and positioned on each fin of a projectile to allow high pressure from one side of the fin due to canard and fin interaction to bleed to a low pressure area on the opposite side of the fin. The location of the pressure relief holes target pressure differences due to canard roll control downwash while not affecting pressure differences due to projectile attitude. The fin planform area remains small enough to meet packaging and fire requirements for this type of munition and large enough to aerodynamically stabilize the airframe thereby enabling a more robust pitch and yaw autopilot design. |

| ABSTRACT | A location and mapping service is described that creates a global database of indoor navigation maps through crowd-sourcing and data fusion technologies. The navigation maps consist of a database of geo-referenced, uniquely described features in the multi-dimensional sensor space (e.g., including structural, RF, magnetic, image, acoustic, or other data) that are collected automatically as a tracked mobile device is moved through a building (e.g. a person with a mobile phone or a robot). The feature information can be used to create building models as one or more tracked devices traverse a building. |

| ABSTRACT | A spectral radiometer system, measures incoming light intensity and spectral distribution in different wavelength-bands. An additional data storage device allows recording of the measured data. The inclusive sensor system yields very high sensitivity to incoming light. Furthermore, outstanding linearity of the detector response over several orders of magnitude of incoming light is achieved. Additional benefits are ultra low power consumption and minimum size. The sensor system can be used in remote solar radiation monitoring applications like mobile solar power units as well as in long-term environmental monitoring systems where high precision and low power consumption is a necessity. |

| ABSTRACT | An environmental condition may be measured with a sensor (10) including a wire (20) having an ultrasonic signal transmission characteristic that varies in response to the environmental condition by sensing ultrasonic energy propagated through the wire using multiple types of propagation, and separating an effect of temperature on the wire from an effect of strain on the wire using the sensed ultrasonic energy propagated through the wire using the multiple types of propagation. A positive feedback loop may be used to excite the wire such that strain in the wire is based upon a sensed resonant frequency, while a square wave with a controlled duty cycle may be used to excite the wire at multiple excitation frequencies. A phase matched cone (200, 210) may be used to couple ultrasonic energy between a waveguide wire (202, 212) and a transducer (204, 214). |

| ABSTRACT | One example includes a magnetic flux source system that includes a tunable current element. The tunable current element includes a SQUID inductively coupled to a first control line that conducts a first control current that induces a bias flux in the SQUID to decrease relative energy barriers between discrete energy states of the tunable current element. The system also includes an inductor in a series loop with the SQUID and inductively coupled to a second control line that conducts a second control current that induces a control flux in the series loop to change a potential energy of the discrete energy states of the tunable current element to set an energy state of the tunable current element to one of the discrete energy states to generate a current that provides a magnetic flux at an amplitude corresponding to the energy state of the at least one tunable current element. |

| ABSTRACT | Lidar uses light to sense the range to an object. It can be used as a sensor, e.g., for autonomous vehicle navigation, or to generate detailed maps of terrain. A lidar can also sense target speed, optical reflectivity, and spectroscopic signature. As lidars become more widespread, one lidar could interfere with another nearby lidar. Incoherent (time of flight (TOF)) lidars can also be spoofed or hacked. And both coherent and incoherent lidars can be jammed. Modulating the lidar source makes the lidar more resistant to interference, jamming and hacking. In a TOF lidar, each transmitted pulse is modulated in a prearranged or predetermined fashion. A processor in the receiver distinguishes true returns from actual returns based on the modulation or encoding of the transmitted pulses. If the modulation is present, the return signal considered genuine. If the modulation is not present, it is deemed fake. |

| ABSTRACT | Salvaging renderable content includes providing a set of salvaging instructions including a digital pattern associated with digital content to be salvaged, and a predetermined minimum threshold of usefulness of the digital content. A digital data source includes digital content to be salvaged. The digital content is simultaneously read by reviewing the multiple types of digital content independently of one another using separate software salvaging modules to review each specific type of digital content. The digital content is filtered by identifying potentially recoverable digital content. The digital pattern is compared to the filtered digital content to indicate matches between the filtered digital content and the digital pattern. The digital content is reassembled and/or repaired. The matched digital content is validated by determining whether the salvaged digital content is in a form that meets the predetermined minimum threshold of usefulness. The validated digital content is displayed/rendered. |

| ABSTRACT | A collision avoidance system and method for a watercraft for computing, visualizing, programming, and executing ship and hazard avoidance. The collision avoidance system and method employs a map visualization, a linear visualization, and a courses of action visualization to automatically provide a clear visualization of threats in real time in a manner which improves operator awareness for timely decision making and avoidance actions. In this regard, the collision avoidance system and method operate to reduce unwanted or unneeded information, ensure the visualization is task oriented as opposed to function oriented, ensure the visualization is intuitive, keep the key measures of the visualization consistent, and automate the searching of hazards across all charts and automate the closest point of approach in both distance and time of nearby tracks. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrically conductive, flexible, strain resilient product is produced by mixing metal coated carbon nanotube networks with a liquid polymeric resin to produce a liquid mixture, and the mixture is cured to produce the product. The networks may include welded junctions between nanotubes formed by depositing and melting metal nanoparticles on the nanotubes to form the metal coating. After the mixing step the liquid mixture may be deposited on a flexible substrate in the form of an electrical circuit. The mixing step may further include mixing the composite with a volatile solvent to produce a selected viscosity. Then, a three-dimensional printer may be used to print the product, such as an electrical circuit, on a substrate. The product is cured in an atmosphere that absorbs the solvent. The conductivity of the mixture may be adjusted by adjusting the weight percentage of the metal coated carbon nanotube networks from 50% to 90%, but a preferred range is between 75% and 85%. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and apparatuses for the production of HF in an electron-beam generated plasma. A gas containing fluorine, hydrogen, and an inert gas such as argon, e.g., Ar/SF6/H2O or Ar/SF6/NH3 flows into a plasma treatment chamber to produce a low pressure gas in the chamber. An electron beam directed into the gas forms a plasma from the gas, with energy from the electron beam dissociating the F-containing molecules, which react with H-containing gas to produce HF in the plasma. Although the concentration of the gas phase HF in the plasma is a very small fraction of the total gas in the chamber, due to its highly reactive nature, the low concentration of HF produced by the method of the present invention is enough to modify the surfaces of materials, performing the same function as aqueous HF solutions to remove oxygen from an exposed material. |

| ABSTRACT | An enhanced symmetric multicycle rapid thermal annealing process for removing defects and activating implanted dopant impurities in a III-nitride semiconductor sample. A sample is placed in an enclosure and heated to a temperature T1 under an applied pressure P1 for a time t1. While the heating of the sample is maintained, the sample is subjected to a series of rapid laser irradiations under an applied pressure P2 and a baseline temperature T2. Each of the laser irradiations heats the sample to a temperature Tmax above its thermodynamic stability limit. After a predetermined number of temperature pulses or a predetermined period of time, the laser irradiations are stopped and the sample is brought to a temperature T3 and held at T3 for a time t3 to complete the annealing. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for employing an electro-optic and photoconductive optical element operating in combination with a polarizer and 100% reflective mirrors to passively control dumping of power from a resonator. The optical element may be constructed of electro-optic material (e.g., Bismuth Silicon Oxide (BSO), Bismuth Germanium Oxide (BGO)), the refractive index of which may be altered by the application of an externally applied electric field. The presence of incident light changes the photoconductivity of the optical element and, therefore, also changes the polarization state of the light passing through the optical element. When combined with a conventional polarizer, the device acts as a self-triggering optical valve to suddenly divert the path of light within a laser to outside of the normal resonator path. Optical power that has been stored inside the laser resonator is then dumped out of the laser in a single, very-high power pulse. |

| ABSTRACT | Various embodiments include providing a MTJ-based LUT and adding a system that short circuits or causes dielectric layer breakdown of selected MTJ junctions to permanently finalize a desired logic state configuration of selected MTJs that is read out by the LUT. Additional embodiments disable dielectric layer breakdown or short circuit control circuits to prevent further alterations to MTJ that have not had their dielectric layers broken down or shorted out. A control system then alters reading out the MTJ-based LUT to sense original higher and lower resistance values of un-shorted/altered MTJs as a higher resistance state and a shorted or dielectric layer that has been broken down as a lower resistance state. This combines the flexibility of a multiple-time programmable LUT-based FPGA with the security and reliability of a one-time programmable LUT-based FPGA which has characteristics of a fixed logic non-programmable integrated circuit or application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). |

| ABSTRACT | Coupled resonators having two resonances are described. A first resonance occurs at the frequency of a pump signal. A second resonance occurs at the frequency of a first Stokes signal. The stop band of the coupled resonators suppresses the second Stokes signal and thus all other higher order Stokes signals. The coupled resonators can be used to more efficiently generate a first Stokes signal having a narrow line width signal. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are chemoembolic compositions and agents. The compositions include one or more anti-cancer agents and a silk-elastinlike protein polymer, wherein the compositions are liquids prior to administration to a subject but convert to hydrogels upon administration to the subject. Administration of the chemoembolic compositions to tumor and/or tumor vasculature in a subject having cancer can result in reduced or inhibited blood flow to the tumor as well as localized, sustained release of the anti-cancer agent in the vicinity of the tumor. Reduction in blood flow, in turn, results in a reduction of tumor volume and/or inhibition of tumor growth, while localized release of the anti-cancer agent results in reduced systemic effects and lower overall toxicity of treatment with the compositions. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems tune, control, or remediate the intrinsic Circadian clock. A light controller sets spectral distribution, intensity of a bioactive spectral band to shift or entrain circadian response to enhance performance and/or synchronize with local or expected conditions. The systems enhance performance under conditions that might be changing, disrupted, or otherwise present an irregular phase or unnatural change in the subject's circadian status, for example, due to geographically discontinuous activity or spectrally deficient workplace illumination, or due to divergent individual sleep/wake behaviors of subjects in a structured group activity. An illumination recipe that compensates for the deficiency of lighting or of participant sleep or behavior patterns, or age- or disease-related changes, to evoke, shift, or align circadian response and improve behaviors such as classroom alertness, relaxation, excitability, attention, or focus. Systems may receive sensed light values and automatically apply high- and/or low-CER illumination to effect the intended circadian phase. |

| ABSTRACT | Non-planar shearing auxetic structures, devices, and methods are provided herein. In some embodiments, a non-planar shearing auxetic structure can include a mathematically compact surface with an auxetic pattern of repeating unit cells. The shearing auxetic structure can have a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration, and, when in the compact configuration, can be configured to move to the expanded configuration while generating a net shear on the surface. Shearing auxetic structures can have handedness and, in some embodiments, multiple handed shearing auxetic structures can be joined to create rigid or semi-rigid composite structures, e.g., by arranging differently-handed structures concentrically wherein two or more structures lock against each other. Handed shearing auxetic structures can also provide actuators to convert rotation or other motion to translation, volume expansion, bending, twisting, etc. These structures have many applications, e.g., deployable structures such as pressure vessels, space habitats, fluid carrying vessels, soft robotics, toys, etc. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention presents a transformative design decision support tool (an e-Design Assessment Engine), one that 1. Significantly reduces cost and risk of engineering design projects, over the state of affair, in part through early and automatic detection of design oversights; 2. Offers compelling reduction in the development time of designs, through improved productivity, but without compromising quality or creativity; 3. Offers wide range of flexibility in terms of supporting design processes employed at different design organizations. The design oversights are identified through proper structuring of the engineering design requirements, extraction of relevant design parameters through application program interfaces provided by the pertinent design tools, and mapping against the requirements. Big data analytics are applied to repositories of past designs, for the purpose of improving new designs. The Engine can be used stand-alone, as a part of a design ecosystem, or integrated into existing systems for product lifecycle or data management. |

| ABSTRACT | Characteristics of proteins, peptides, and/or peptoids can be determined via two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy and/or two-dimensional co-distribution spectroscopies. Spectral data of the proteins, peptides, and/or peptoids can be obtained with respect to an applied perturbation. two-dimensional co-distribution analysis can be applied to generate an asynchronous co-distribution plot for the proteins, peptides, and/or peptoids to define the population of proteins in solution. In the two-dimensional asynchronous plot, a cross peak can be identified as correlating with an auto peak in the two-dimensional correlation synchronous plot associated with aggregation of the proteins, peptides, and/or peptoids. The two-dimensional asynchronous cross peak can be used to determine an order of a distributed presence of spectral intensities with respect to the applied perturbation. For example, for two wavenumbers v1 and v2, the value of the cross peak corresponding to the two wavenumbers can indicate a presence of spectral intensity at v1 relative to the presence of spectral intensity at v2. |

| ABSTRACT | Solar rechargeable battery combines the advantages of photoelectrochemical devices and batteries and has emerged as an attractive alternative to artificial photosynthesis for large-scale solar energy harvesting and storage. Due to the low photovoltages by the photoelectrodes, however, most previous demonstrations of unassisted photocharge have been realized on systems with low open circuit potentials (<0.8 V). In response to this critical challenge, here the present disclosure shows that the combined photovoltages exceeding 1.4 V can be obtained using a Ta3N5 nanotube photoanode and a GaN nanowire/Si photocathode with high photocurrents (>5 mA/cm2). The photoelectrode system makes it possible to operate a 1.2 V alkaline anthraquinone/ferrocyanide redox battery with a high ideal solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 3.0% without externally applied potentials. Importantly, the photocharged battery was successfully discharged with a high voltage output. |

| ABSTRACT | Magnet microstructure manipulation in the solid state by controlled application of a sufficient stress in a direction during high temperature annealing in a single-phase region of heat-treatable magnet alloys, e.g., alnico-type magnets is followed by magnetic annealing and draw annealing to improve coercivity and saturation magnetization properties. The solid-state process can be termed highly controlled abnormal grain growth (hereafter AGG) and will make aligned sintered anisotropic magnets that meet or exceed the magnetic properties of cast versions of the same alloy types. |

| ABSTRACT | An electronic device handles accesses of a branch prediction functional block when executing instructions in program code. The electronic device includes a processor having the branch prediction functional block that provides branch prediction information for control transfer instructions (CTIs) in the program code and a minimum predictor use (MPU) functional block. The MPU functional block determines, based on a record associated with a given fetch group of instructions, that a specified number of subsequent fetch groups of instructions that were previously determined to include no CTIs or conditional CTIs that were not taken are to be fetched for execution in sequence following the given fetch group. The MPU functional block then, when each of the specified number of the subsequent fetch groups is fetched and prepared for execution, prevents corresponding accesses of the branch prediction functional block for acquiring branch prediction information for instructions in that subsequent fetch group. |

| ABSTRACT | Radial radio frequency (RF) electron guns and radial RF electron gun systems are provided that are capable of generating an electron beam that can propagate either radially inward, towards the axis of a cylinder, or radially outward from the axis. A beam source capable of generating a radially inwardly propagating electron beam, while perhaps not particularly useful as a source for a higher-energy accelerator, offers potential advantages for materials processing, as the geometry allows irradiation from all sides of an enclosed material flow with a single structure. Other potential applications include, but are not limited to, atmospheric plasma generation, radiation damage testing, and possibly, novel electron lens-type devices for hadron accelerators. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to a micromechanical displacement logic, signal propagation system that makes use of first and second bistable elements, and first and second mounting structures arranged adjacent opposing surfaces of the first bistable element. A plurality of pivotal lever arms are used to support the first bistable element in either one of two positions of equilibrium. A support structure and a compressible flexure element disposed between the support structure and the first mounting structure apply a preload force to the first mounting structure, which imparts the preload force to the first bistable element. The first bistable element is moveable from one of the two stable equilibrium positions to the other in response to an initial signal applied thereto. The preload force, at least one stiffness characteristic of the lever arms, and a compressibility of a compressible coupling element which links the second bistable element to the first, are all selected to tune signal propagation from the first bistable element to the second bistable element. |

| ABSTRACT | Teams of robots can be organized to collectively complete complex real-world tasks, for example collective foraging in which robots search for, pick up, and drop off targets in a collection zone. A dynamic multiple-place foraging algorithm (MPFAdynamic) is a scalable, flexible, and efficient algorithm for robot swarms to collect objects in unmapped environments. It achieves scalability through a decentralized architecture in which robots search without central control, and then return to mobile depots which provide collection and communication points. Mobile depots move closer to clusters of targets as robots discover them, which reduces robot transport time as well as collisions among robots. Flexibility is achieved by incorporating individual robot behaviors in which robots move and communicate in ways that mimic the foraging behaviors of ants. The MPFAdynamic algorithm demonstrates that dispersed agents that dynamically adapt to local information in their environment provide more flexible and scalable swarms. |

| ABSTRACT | A pressure control system may include a plurality of inflatable objects, each of the inflatable objects having a respective pressure sensor and a respective inflation valve, wherein each of the inflation valves has a behavior profile predictive of an amount of current used by the valve when operated. A valve controller of the system may have a pressure management circuit that receives information from the pressure sensors and is configured to automatically maintain a respective selected pressure in each of the inflatable objects by issuing commands to operate the inflation valves. An electrical current management circuit of the valve controller may be configured to predict, based on the valve behavior profiles, what effect the command would have on a total current usage, when executed, and automatically prevent any command that would cause the total current usage to exceed a maximum allowable current. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure describes a genetically engineered a KASIII-independent fatty acid biosynthetic pathway that makes use of the promiscuous nature of the rest of the FAS enzymes (3-ketoacyl-ACP synthetase, 3-ketoacyl-ACP reductase, 3-hydroxyacyl ACP dehydrase, enoyl-ACP reductase) to bypass the KASIII step by providing a Co-A precursor of two or higher than two carbons (such as the four carbon butyryl-CoA) as the starting molecule. Since many CoA-based starter molecules can be supplied for the fatty acid synthesis, much more diversified products can be obtained with various carbon-chain lengths. As such, this disclosure will serve as a powerful and efficient platform to produce low to medium chain length products carrying many different functional groups. |

| ABSTRACT | Several embodiments are provided of a device which is tunable for providing a walking aid user with passive haptic feedback. The haptic feedback is provided to the user when a predetermined, desired force in the device is reached. The force, often simply an axial force, in the device is inputted by the user, who is looking to support some of his or her body weight, thereby taking some weight off of one or both legs for some purpose. The amount of body weight support the user would input is often expressed in terms of percentage of the user's total body weight, and can therefore be predetermined and the device tuned accordingly. |

| ABSTRACT | A three-terminal avalanche photodiode provides a first controllable voltage drop across a light absorbing region and a second, independently controllable, voltage drop across a photocurrent amplifying region. The absorbing region may also have a different composition from the amplifying region, allowing further independent optimization of the two functional regions. An insulating layer blocks leakage paths, redirecting photocurrent toward the region(s) of highest avalanche gain. The resulting high-gain, low-bias avalanche photodiodes may be fabricated in integrated optical circuits using commercial CMOS processes, operated by power supplies common to mature computer architecture, and used for optical interconnects, light sensing, and other applications. |

| ABSTRACT | A multi-chip module hybrid integrated circuit (MCM-HIC) provides cold spare support to an apparatus comprising a plurality of ICs and/or other circuits that are not cold spare compliant. At least one core IC and at least one cold spare chiplet are installed on an interconnecting substrate having a plurality of power zones to which power can be applied and withdrawn as needed. When powered, the cold spare chiplets serve as mediators and interfaces between the non cold spare compliant circuits. When the cold spare chiplets are at least partly unpowered, they protect all interconnected circuits, and ensure that interconnected circuits that remain powered are not hindered by unpowered interconnected circuits. Cold spare chiplets can extend across boundaries between power zones. External circuits can be exclusively interfaced to a subset of the power zones. Separate power circuits within a power zone can be sequenced during application and withdrawal of power. |

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, December 01, 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:
