| ABSTRACT | Anesthetics covalently conjugated onto biodegradable and biocompatible hydrophilic polymers via hydrolysable linkages provide controlled release of local anesthetics in vivo in an effective amount for nerve blockade with reduced toxicity relative to the unconjugated anesthetic agent. The rate of anesthetic release can be tuned by changing the hydrophilicity of the polymer. Exemplary formulations of Poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS), optionally including Poly ethylene glycol (PEG) polymers conjugated to Tetrodotoxin (TTX) (PGS-PEG-TTX and PGS-TTX), and methods of use thereof are provided Nerve blockade from PGS-PEG-TTX and PGS-TTX was associated with minimal systemic and local toxicity to the muscle and the peripheral nerves. TDP-TTX conjugates homogeneously dispersed into PEG200 are also described. PEG200 not only worked as a medium, but also worked as a chemical permeation enhancer (CPE) to enhance the effectiveness of TTX. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention concerns improved methods and compositions for neoadjuvant use of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in cancer therapy, preferably ADCs comprising an anthracycline or camptothecin, more preferably SN-38 or pro-2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin (P2PDox). The ADC is administered as a neoadjuvant, prior to treatment with a standard anti-cancer therapy such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. Neoadjuvant use of the ADC substantially improves the efficacy of standard anti-cancer therapy and may debulk a primary tumor or eliminate micrometasteses. In most preferred embodiments, neoadjuvant ADC in combination with a standard anti-cancer therapy is successful in treating cancers that are resistant to standard treatments, such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are systems and methods for the treatment of pain using electrical nerve conduction block (ENCB). Contrary to other methods of pain treatment, the ENCB can establish a direct block of neural activity, thereby eliminating the pain. Additionally, the ENCB can be administered without causing electrochemical damage. An example method can include: placing at least one electrode contact in electrical communication with a region of a subject's spinal cord; applying an electrical nerve conduction block (ENCB) to a nerve in the region through the at least one electrode contact; and blocking neural activity with the ENCB to reduce the pain or other unwanted sensation in the subject. |

| ABSTRACT | A Cherenkov-based or thin-sheet scintillator-based imaging system uses a radio-optical triggering unit (RTU) that detects scattered radiation in a fast-response scintillator to detect pulses of radiation to permit capture of Cherenkov-light or scintillator-light images during pulses of radiation and background images at times when pulses of radiation are not present without need for electrical interface to the accelerator that provides the pulses of radiation. The Cherenkov images are corrected by background subtraction and used for purposes including optimization of treatment, commissioning, routine quality auditing, R&D, and manufacture. The radio-optical triggering unit employs high-speed, highly sensitive radio-optical sensing to generate a digital timing signal which is synchronous with the treatment beam for use in triggering Cherenkov light or scintillator light imaging. |

| ABSTRACT | A set of small molecules ERα biomodulators that kill therapy-resistant ERα positive breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer cells. These small molecules have increased therapeutic potential because of an increased ability to kill therapy-resistant breast cancer cells compared to BHPI and other conventional therapies (endocrine therapies, tamoxifen and fulvestrant/ICI). The new compounds do not only inhibit proliferation of the cancer cells but actually kills them, which prevents reactivation of tumors years later. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects of the disclosure relate to polypeptides comprising a signal peptide, an antigen-binding domain that specifically binds TGF-β, a peptide spacer, a transmembrane domain, and an endodomain. When expressed in a cell, the polypeptides are capable of not only neutralizing the TGF-β but also specifically triggering T-cell activation in the presence of TGF-β. T-cell activation spurs the immune cell to produce immunostimulatory cytokines and proliferate, thus turning TGF-β from an immunosuppressive signal to an activating stimulus. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides methods and compositions for converting a T cell into a cell that exhibits at least one regulatory T cell phenotype. The converted T cell is generated by contacting a T cell with a cell that is modified to comprise an agent capable of activating PD1 signaling in a T cell. The converted T cell is useful for preventing, suppressing, blocking or inhibiting an immune response. For example the converted T cell is useful for preventing rejection of a transplanted tissue in a human or other animal host, or protecting against graft versus host disease. The converted T cell can also be used to treat autoimmune diseases. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention pertains to genetically modified plants, particularly maize, sorghum and rice, with an all pistillate or all staminate phenotype and methods of the same. The survival of functional pistils in maize requires the action of the sk1 gene. SK1 encodes a glycosyltransferase (GT) that protects pistils from tasselseed-mediated cell death. sk1-dependent pistil protection at a developing floret gives rise to stamen arrest at the same floret, and so determines the pistillate floral fate. This is the first single gain-of-function gene known to control sexuality. The present invention further provides a direct strategy to extend hybrid technologies to related cereals such as sorghum and rice. Tasselseed and silkless genes represent major sex determination genes in maize, a pathway that permits the efficient production of hybrid seed and the associated benefits of heterosis-increased yield, resistance to pathogens, etc. Except for maize, current hybrid systems in cereals are fraught with genetic and environmental limitations. Genotype-independent hybrid cereal technology could potentially increase crop yields as much as 20-40% without placing additional land under agricultural production. This has profound implications for food security and the environmental impact of agriculture in some of the poorest regions of the world. |

| ABSTRACT | The identification of mutations that are present in a small fraction of DNA templates is essential for progress in several areas of biomedical research. Though massively parallel sequencing instruments are in principle well-suited to this task, the error rates in such instruments are generally too high to allow confident identification of rare variants. We here describe an approach that can substantially increase the sensitivity of massively parallel sequencing instruments for this purpose. One example of this approach, called “Safe-SeqS” for (Safe-Sequencing System) includes (i) assignment of a unique identifier (UID) to each template molecule; (ii) amplification of each uniquely tagged template molecule to create UID-families; and (iii) redundant sequencing of the amplification products. PCR fragments with the same UID are truly mutant (“super-mutants”) if ≥95% of them contain the identical mutation. We illustrate the utility of this approach for determining the fidelity of a polymerase, the accuracy of oligonucleotides synthesized in vitro, and the prevalence of mutations in the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of normal cells. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides for the detection of a perturbed gene network, which includes highly expressed genes during fetal brain development, which is dysregulated in neuron models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). High-confidence ASD risk genes are upstream regulators of the network modulating RAS/ERK, PI3K/AKT, and WNT//β-catenin signaling pathways. The invention demonstrates how the heterogeneous genetics of ASD can dysregulate a core network to influence brain development at prenatal and very early postnatal ages and, thereby, the severity of later ASD symptoms. The invention provides a model for diagnosis, prognosis determination, and optionally treatment and monitoring, for any disease by comparing molecular marker patterns in non-affected tissues in a subject with healthy controls to determine a dysregulated network in the subject based on a co-expression pattern of interacting genes. |

| ABSTRACT | A spray-capillary device is configured to process ultra low-volume samples. The spray-capillary device includes a spray capillary that includes an inlet end and a discharge end. The spray capillary includes a porous section at the discharge end. A downstream connector provides an interface between the porous section of the spray capillary, a conductive fluid, and a high voltage electrical source. The application of voltage to the downstream connector causes electrospray ionization, which can be used to draw ultra law volume samples into the inlet end. A gas injection assembly can be used to increase the pressure on the inlet end of the spray capillary to encourage movement of the sample through the spray capillary. The spray-capillary device is well suited for providing ultra low samples to a mass spectrometer detection device. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of treating a substrate comprises applying an electric field to a substrate comprising a layer of a dopant on at least one surface; applying a predetermined temperature to the substrate in the electric field; applying the electric field and the predetermined temperature for a time sufficient to induce migration of the dopant into the substrate to provide a doped substrate; and removing the electric field and returning the doped substrate to about room temperature, wherein the doped substrate is characterized in that a spectral laser output of the doped substrate exhibits a nominally single frequency having a linewidth less than about 5 nm. The substrate may be a glass material, a single crystal material, a poly-crystalline material, a ceramic material, or a semiconductor material, which may be optically transparent. Before treatment, the substrate may be an undoped substrate or a doped substrate. |

| ABSTRACT | A machine knittable hybrid yarn for providing conductive traces through a textile is disclosed. The hybrid yarn includes conductive wires coated with an insulating material and twisted together with a nonconductive yarn. The nonconductive yarn is from a strong, inelastic, and nonconductive fiber, such as a meta-aramid or para-aramid that protects the integrity of the conductive wire during knitting. The conductive wire can be copper-clad stainless steel or copper wire is coated with polyurethane, and the nonconductive yarn can have no-drip and no-drip properties to allow ablation of the hybrid yarn to remove the conductive yarn and insulating coating on the wire such that the ablated region becomes externally conductive and suitable for making an electrical contact. The hybrid yarn can be bonded with nylon or similar polymer after twisting. |

| ABSTRACT | A disk resonator is pumped by counterpropagating pump signals to produce corresponding counterpropagating Brillouin laser signals. The pump laser optical frequencies are separated by a frequency offset ΔνP but excite the same nominal resonator optical mode; the Brillouin laser optical frequencies are separated by a beat frequency ΔνL with 0<ΔνL<ΔνP. A photodetector receives the Brillouin laser signals and produces an electrical signal at the beat frequency ΔνL. The frequency offset ΔνP can be large so enough to prevent locking of the Brillouin laser signals onto a common Brillouin laser frequency. A signal processing system derives from the beat frequency ΔνL an estimated angular velocity component of the disk optical resonator about an axis substantially perpendicular to the disk optical resonator. |

| ABSTRACT | A vehicular simultaneous localization and mapping may fuse lidar data and pseudoranges extracted from ambient cellular LTE towers. An ICP algorithm may be used to extract odometry measurements from successive lidar scans. A robust and computationally efficient feature extraction method may be used to detect edge lines and feature points from the lidars point cloud. Then, a point registration technique using a maximum likelihood approach allows the estimation of the covariance of the odometry error, which is used in EKF propagation. The proposed approach consists of a mapping mode when GNSS signals are available and subsequently a SLAM mode when GNSS signals become unavailable. The cellular transmitters states, namely position and clock bias and clock drift, are continuously estimated in both modes. Simulation and experimental results validate the accuracy of these systems and methods, and provides lane-level localization without GNSS signals. |

| ABSTRACT | A solar thermophotovoltaic system has a heat exchanger containing a heat exchange fluid, and a thin-film integrated spectrally-selective plasmonic absorber emitter (ISSAE) in direct contact with an outer surface of the heat exchanger, the ISSAE including an ultra-thin non-shiny metal layer that is strongly absorbing in a solar spectral range and strongly reflective in an infrared spectral range. The metal layer has an inner surface in direct contact with an outer surface of the heat exchanger. A photovoltaic cell support structure with an inner surface in a concentric configuration partially surrounds the ISSAE; and an airgap separates the support structure and the outer surface of the metal layer. Photovoltaic cells are arranged on a portion of the inner surface of the support structure to receive emissions from the ISSAE, and a solar energy collector/concentrator allows solar radiation to impinge a portion of the metal layer. |

| ABSTRACT | An electro-optic beam controller, material processing apparatus, or optical amplifier, and corresponding methods, can include an actively controlled, waveguide-based, optical spatial mode conversion device. The conversion device can include a coupler, which can be a photonic lantern, configured to combine light beams into a common light beam; a sensor configured to measure at least one characteristic of the common light beam; and a controller configured to modulate optical parameters of the individual, respective light beams to set one or more spatial modes of the common light beam. Actively controlled and modulated devices can be used to maintain a stable, diffraction-limited beam for use in an amplification, communications, imaging, laser radar, switching, or laser material processing system. Embodiments can also be used to maintain a fundamental or other spatial mode in an optical fiber even while scaling to kilowatt power. |

| ABSTRACT | Controlling an optical phased array includes applying optical phase shifts by an array of phase shifter (PS) elements, each PS element applying an optical phase shift based on an input voltage signal applied across first and second terminals of the PS element, providing output voltage signals from an array of driver elements. During a charging time period, each driver element provides an output voltage signal to determine a corresponding input voltage signal applied across at least one of the PS elements; an array of switches control connectivity between the driver elements and respective PS elements; and all of the second terminals of all of the PS elements in the array of PS elements are maintained at a common voltage. The total number of switches in the array of switches is at least as large as the total number of PS elements in the array of PS elements. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for training a neural network for estimating surface normals for use in operating an autonomous platform. The system uses a parallelizable k-nearest neighbor sorting algorithm to provide a patch of points, sampled from the point cloud data, as input to the neural network model. The points are transformed from Euclidean coordinates in a Euclidean space to spherical coordinates. A polar angle of a surface normal of the point cloud data is estimated in the spherical coordinates. The trained neural network model is utilized on the autonomous platform, and the estimate of the polar angle of the surface normal is used to guide operation of the autonomous platform within the environment. |

| ABSTRACT | The graph-based source code vulnerability detection system that uses a code-similarity style technique to identify highly modified vulnerable code clones while remaining generic to all vulnerability types. The system abstracts vulnerabilities in source code to the graph domain, allowing it to identify key relationships between textual elements that are not directly discernible from the text alone. Additionally, the system analyzes the patched code in addition to the vulnerable code to identify specific relationships in the graph that are tied directly to the vulnerable code segment, the patched code segment, and the contextual code of a particular vulnerability. By separating the vulnerability representation into these three components, a matching algorithm identifies vulnerable code clones while tolerating modifications at each level independently, providing more robust detection of modified vulnerable code clones. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for proving correctness properties of a neural network for providing estimates for point cloud data. The system receives as input a description of a neural network for generating estimates from a set of point cloud data. The description of the neural network is parsed to obtain a symbolic representation. Based on a combination of the symbolic representation and a set of analysis parameters, the system generates an analysis output indicating whether the neural network satisfies a correctness property in generating the estimates from the set of point cloud data. The analysis output is a mathematical proof artifact proving that the set of analysis parameters is satisfied, a list of one or more point clouds for which the set of analysis parameters is violated, or a report that progress could not be made by the analysis. |

| ABSTRACT | A visibly transparent planar structure using a CPA scheme to boost the absorption of a multi-layer thin-film configuration, requiring no surface patterning, to overcome the intrinsic absorption limitation of the absorbing material. This is achieved in a multi-layer absorbing Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity, namely a thin-film amorphous silicon solar cell. Omni-resonance is achieved across a bandwidth of 80 nm in the near-infrared (NIR), thus increasing the effective absorption of the material, without modifying the material itself, enhancing it beyond its intrinsic absorption over a considerable spectral range. The apparatus achieved an increased external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 90% of the photocurrent generated in the 80 nm NIR region from 660 to 740 nm as compared to a bare solar cell. over the spectral range of interest. |

| ABSTRACT | A phase shift element includes a first dielectric layer, a conductive layer, a second dielectric layer, a conducting pattern layer, switches, and vertical interconnect accesses (vias). Each conductor of a plurality of conductors of the conducting pattern layer is orthogonal to two other conductors. Each switch is switchable between a conducting position and a non-conducting position. Each via is connected to a single conductor. The first conductive material reflects an electromagnetic wave incident on the conducting pattern layer and on the second dielectric layer. When a switch is in the conducting position, the switch electrically connects two conductors to each other through their respective vias. A plurality of different switch configurations of the switches provide a 2-bit phase quantization on the reflected electromagnetic wave relative to the electromagnetic wave incident on the conducting pattern layer when the electromagnetic wave is incident on the conducting pattern layer. |

| ABSTRACT | Various embodiments associated with a segmented magnetic core are described. The segmented magnetic core can be made up of multiple singular structures so as to allow an individual singular structure to be removed with ease and without disturbing another magnetic core. This modular core design allows for a significant reduction in motor housing weight due to compatibility of the design with lightweight materials and the potential absence of extensive housing when so designed. This modular core design can be incorporated into a motor or a generator and this modular core design can be accomplished, in one example, by way of stacking and/or interlocking employing low cost assembly. In one example, a motor or a generator uses sensors to detect an operational failure in a magnetic core, notifying a user early of the failure. |

| ABSTRACT | Finite-alphabet beamforming for multi-antenna wideband systems is provided. The combination of massive multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) technology and millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication enables unprecedentedly high data rates for radio frequency (RF) communications. In such systems, beamforming must be performed at extremely high rates over hundreds of antennas. For example, spatial equalization applies beamforming in the uplink to mitigate interference among user equipment (UEs) at a base station (BS). Finite-alphabet equalization provides a new paradigm that restricts the entries of a spatial equalization matrix to low-resolution numbers, enabling high-throughput, low-power, and low-cost equalization hardware. Similarly, precoding applies beamforming in the downlink to maximize the reception of a signal transmitted from a BS to a target UE. Finite-alphabet precoding can be applied in the downlink to similarly improve power and cost in precoding hardware. |

| ABSTRACT | Rapid assessment of microcirculation in tissue to realize closed-loop systems is provided. Microcirculatory assessment systems according to embodiments described herein allow a user to assess changes in local blood flow in microvasculature in real-time using conventional electrical techniques. Some embodiments provide a closed-loop system that allows calibrated doses of electrical stimulation to be delivered in a deep brain stimulation (DBS) system depending on blood flow changes (in specific regions of the brain) being fed back to a controller. The approach described here is readily translatable with very minimal changes to existing hardware. Such closed-loop systems will improve the accuracy of electrode placement in DBS surgery and potentially reduce surgery time, optimize the delivery of electrical stimulation, increase battery life of implantable DBS systems, reduce post-surgical visits to medical practitioners and improve the quality of life of patients. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention pertains to genetically modified plants, particularly maize, sorghum and rice, with an all pistillate or all staminate phenotype and methods of the same. The survival of functional pistils in maize requires the action of the sk1 gene. SK1 encodes a glycosyltransferase (GT) that protects pistils from tasselseed-mediated cell death. sk1-dependent pistil protection at a developing floret gives rise to stamen arrest at the same floret, and so determines the pistillate floral fate. This is the first single gain-of-function gene known to control sexuality. The present invention further provides a direct strategy to extend hybrid technologies to related cereals such as sorghum and rice. Tasselseed and silkless genes represent major sex determination genes in maize, a pathway that permits the efficient production of hybrid seed and the associated benefits of heterosis-increased yield, resistance to pathogens, etc. Except for maize, current hybrid systems in cereals are fraught with genetic and environmental limitations. Genotype-independent hybrid cereal technology could potentially increase crop yields as much as 20-40% without placing additional land under agricultural production. This has profound implications for food security and the environmental impact of agriculture in some of the poorest regions of the world. |

| ABSTRACT | In a method for recycling energy from stairs, a step platform is moveable between an upper and lower position. An energy storage device, coupled to the platform, stores energy when a downward force is applied thereto, causing the step platform to move to the lower position. The energy storage device (also releases stored energy as the step platform moves from to the upper position. A controllable locking mechanism (locks the step platform in the lower position when the downward force has caused the step platform to move into the lower position. A sensor determines when a downward force has been applied to the next higher step platform. A controller signals the controllable locking mechanism to unlock the step platform when the step platform is in the lower position, and when the downward force has been applied to the next higher step platform. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods to determine an electrochemical impedance spectrogram (EIS) rapidly in real time are provided. Embodiments described herein provide an approach to determine an EIS rapidly (e.g., much less than one second) over a wide band of frequencies. Since the EIS is a foundational diagnostic that is used in a wide variety of applications involving electrochemical events, the proposed approach will significantly impact a wide range of applications. Novel waveforms and systems analysis techniques are used to determine the electrochemical impedance over a wide range of frequencies simultaneously. Embodiments can be readily integrated into conventional electrochemical workstations and embedded devices. Other embodiments can be instantiated into custom-made hardware depending on the needs of a given application. The speed and resolution of the EIS obtained using this approach can be tailored to a wide variety of applications. |

| ABSTRACT | A vehicular simultaneous localization and mapping may fuse lidar data and pseudoranges extracted from ambient cellular LTE towers. An ICP algorithm may be used to extract odometry measurements from successive lidar scans. A robust and computationally efficient feature extraction method may be used to detect edge lines and feature points from the lidars point cloud. Then, a point registration technique using a maximum likelihood approach allows the estimation of the covariance of the odometry error, which is used in EKF propagation. The proposed approach consists of a mapping mode when GNSS signals are available and subsequently a SLAM mode when GNSS signals become unavailable. The cellular transmitters states, namely position and clock bias and clock drift, are continuously estimated in both modes. Simulation and experimental results validate the accuracy of these systems and methods, and provides lane-level localization without GNSS signals. |

| ABSTRACT | Standard nested virtualization allows a hypervisor to run other hypervisors as guests, i.e. a level-0 (L0) hypervisor can run multiple level-1 (L1) hypervisors, each of which can run multiple level-2 (L2) virtual machines (VMs), with each L2 VM is restricted to run on only one L1 hypervisor. Span provides a Multi-hypervisor VM in which a single VM can simultaneously run on multiple hypervisors, which permits a VM to benefit from different services provided by multiple hypervisors that co-exist on a single physical machine. Span allows (a) the memory footprint of the VM to be shared across two hypervisors, and (b) the responsibility for CPU and I/O scheduling to be distributed among the two hypervisors. Span VMs can achieve performance comparable to traditional (single-hypervisor) nested VMs for common benchmarks. |

| ABSTRACT | The graph-based source code vulnerability detection system that uses a code-similarity style technique to identify highly modified vulnerable code clones while remaining generic to all vulnerability types. The system abstracts vulnerabilities in source code to the graph domain, allowing it to identify key relationships between textual elements that are not directly discernible from the text alone. Additionally, the system analyzes the patched code in addition to the vulnerable code to identify specific relationships in the graph that are tied directly to the vulnerable code segment, the patched code segment, and the contextual code of a particular vulnerability. By separating the vulnerability representation into these three components, a matching algorithm identifies vulnerable code clones while tolerating modifications at each level independently, providing more robust detection of modified vulnerable code clones. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments described herein relate to training, by a computing system, a gamma mixture hurdle model. The model may characterize a functional relationship between: output data specifying food flows between zones, and input variables representing food production and food consumption in the zones. The training involves: (i) using binary logistic regression to estimate whether corresponding food flows exist between zone pairs, and (ii) for pairs in which corresponding food flows exist, using a gamma mixture model to estimate amounts of the corresponding food flows. Based on the gamma mixture hurdle model, the computing system can estimate, where each zone includes a respective set of regions: (i) whether corresponding food sub-flows exist between region pairs, and (ii) for pairs in which the corresponding food sub-flows are estimated to exist, potentials of the corresponding food sub-flows. The computing system can also determine, using a linear programming framework, values for the corresponding food sub-flows. |

| ABSTRACT | An in-line holographic microscope can be used to analyze a video stream to track individual colloidal particles' three-dimensional motions. The system and method can provide real time nanometer resolution, and simultaneously measure particle sizes and refractive indexes. An assay using the holographic microscope for holographic particle characterization directly detect viruses, antibodies and related targets binding to the surfaces of specifically functionalized micrometer-scale colloidal probe beads. The system detects binding of targets by directly measuring associated changes in the bead's diameter without the need for downstream labeling and analysis. |

| ABSTRACT | Ruggedized luminescent nanoparticle tracers have luminescent nanoparticle cores coupled to a luminescent substrate. The substrate is a large-particle size phosphor, while the nanoparticles are photoluminescent quantum dots (QDs) whose emission spectra can be tuned based on their chemical composition, size, and fabrication (e.g., dopants). The QDs are encapsulated by a protective layer to form a nanoparticle core. The protective layer can shield the QDs from external environments that would otherwise damage the delicate QDs. The substrate is also encapsulated by a protective layer, and the protective layer of the nanoparticle core is coupled to the protective layer of the substrate via a molecular linker to form a tracer particle complex. The tracer particle complexes can be disposed in a silicate suspension for subsequent use. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatuses, and methods for compacting multiple groups of micro-operations into individual cache lines of a micro-operation cache are disclosed. A processor includes at least a decode unit and a micro-operation cache. When a new group of micro-operations is decoded and ready to be written to the micro-operation cache, the micro-operation cache determines which set is targeted by the new group of micro-operations. If there is a way in this set that can store the new group without evicting any existing group already stored in the way, then the new group is stored into the way with the existing group(s) of micro-operations. Metadata is then updated to indicate that the new group of micro-operations has been written to the way. Additionally, the micro-operation cache manages eviction and replacement policy at the granularity of micro-operation groups rather than at the granularity of cache lines. |

| ABSTRACT | Illustrative embodiments are directed to a method and apparatus for evaluating boundary detection in an image. A processed image is received, wherein a detected boundary of an image of an object is identified in the processed image. A Radon transform is applied to the processed image for a plurality of angles to form a processed image histogram corresponding to the detected boundary for each of the plurality of angles. The processed image histogram for each of the plurality of angles and a corresponding ground truth histogram for each of the plurality of angles is normalized to provide a normalized processed image histogram and a normalized ground truth histogram for each of the plurality of angles, wherein the ground truth histogram corresponds to a ground truth boundary of the object for a corresponding angle. An indication of the edges of the normalized processed image histogram for each of the plurality of angles is plotted to form a boundary detection evaluation visualization. |

| ABSTRACT | The biosensor platform is a rapid point-of-care (POC) device wherein detection of a target substance is performed in a single step using a fully integrated disposable biosensor test system. In one embodiment, the system comprises a horizontally oriented multi-strip test cassette. A user initiates the test by depositing an analyte onto an immunochromatographic test strip sandwiched between a (top) cassette lid and a (bottom) slotted cassette tray. The test strip is held in place by at least one horizontally extending self-adjusting flex plate. The system is structured so that as the analyte flows through the test strip, the analyte reacts with a reagent in the test strip to indicate a presence or absence of the targeted substance as the test strip is held in place by the self-adjusting flex plate. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are provided for nitrogen gas sparging assisted biological treatment of water. In one example, a denitrification system may include a media-packed column or bed through which nitrogen gas is sparged to remove dissolved oxygen from water. In some examples, an external carbon source and electron donor may be added to the media-packed column or bed to facilitate biological removal of the nitrate and/or other contaminants from the water. In this way, by relying on the sparged nitrogen gas to remove the dissolved oxygen, less of the external carbon source and electron donor may be employed as compared to denitrification systems not assisted by nitrogen gas sparging. |

| ABSTRACT | The presently disclosed embodiments relate to vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that have the capability of hovering in both a “nose forward” and a “nose up” orientation, and any orientation between those two. The disclosed aircraft can also transition into wing born (non-hovering) flight from any of the hovering orientations. In addition, certain of the disclosed embodiments can, if desired, use only vectored thrust control to maintain stable flight in both hover and forward flight. No control surfaces (e.g. ailerons, elevators, rudders, flaps) are required to maintain a stable vehicle attitude. However, the disclosure contemplates aircraft both with and without such control surfaces. |

| ABSTRACT | Examples of active millimeter-wave imaging systems are described which may utilize modulation schemes to provide illumination signals. The use of modulation techniques may allow for the use of direct-conversion receivers while retaining an ability to separate desired received signal from self-jamming and/or DC offset signal(s) generated by the direct-conversion receivers. In some examples, modulation schemes include the use of balanced orthogonal codes which may support MIMO or massive MIMO imaging systems. |

| ABSTRACT | In examples, a relative skin reflectance of a captured image of a subject is determined. The determination selects from the captured image pixels of the subject's face and pixels in the background and normalizes luminance values of the skin pixels using the background pixels. The relative skin reflectance value is determined for the captured image, based on the normalized luminance values of the skin pixels. Optionally the relative skin reflectance value is qualified, based on thresholds of skin reflectance values, as suitable for biometric use. Optionally, a non-qualifying captured image is flagged and, optionally, another image is acquired, or the non-conforming image is processed further to transform the image into a suitable image for biometric analysis. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are provided for nitrogen gas sparging assisted biological treatment of water. In one example, a denitrification system may include a media-packed column or bed through which nitrogen gas is sparged to remove dissolved oxygen from water. In some examples, an external carbon source and electron donor may be added to the media-packed column or bed to facilitate biological removal of the nitrate and/or other contaminants from the water. In this way, by relying on the sparged nitrogen gas to remove the dissolved oxygen, less of the external carbon source and electron donor may be employed as compared to denitrification systems not assisted by nitrogen gas sparging. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for implementing a distributed source coding quantization scheme is provided. In one example, two independent but statistically correlated data sources can be asymmetrically compressed so that one source is compressed at a higher ratio than the other. The resulting signals are transmitted and decoded by a receiver. The highly compressed source can utilize the non-highly compressed source as side information so as to minimize the compression loss associated with the higher compression ratio. A conditional codebook can be created that not only depends on the highly compressed quantizer, but also depends on the quantized symbol received from the non-highly compressed data source. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure provides an integrated and automated sample-to-answer system that, starting from a sample comprising biological material, generates a genetic profile in less than two hours. In certain embodiments, the biological material is DNA and the genetic profile involves determining alleles at one or a plurality of loci (e.g., genetic loci) of a subject, for example, an STR (short tandem repeat) profile, for example as used in the CODIS system. The system can perform several operations, including (a) extraction and isolation of nucleic acid; (b) amplification of nucleotide sequences at selected loci (e.g., genetic loci); and (c) detection and analysis of amplification product. These operations can be carried out in a system that comprises several integrated modules, including an analyte preparation module; a detection and analysis module and a control module. |

How To Use This Page
THE FEDINVENT PATENT APPLICATION 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 Thursday, September 09, 2021.
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 is presented as it appears on the patent.
FILED
The date 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 the 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:
https://wayfinder.digital/fedinvent/patents-2021/details-patents-20210427.html
Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
