| ABSTRACT | A means of detecting skin proximity of a wearable comprising: at least two skin proximity sensors, a controller and a transmitter. The proximity sensors can be arranged around a central biosensor to detect tamper attempts. The sensors can be strapped to a person's skin by means of a strap and further sealed on the skin by means of a bioadhesive. Signals from the proximity sensor can be processed by the controller and a ratio baseline obtained. Any appreciable deviations from unity will indicate a tampering event, such as device removal, sensor blockage or sabotage. Results of proximity sensing can be reported to the wearer by means of a monthly calendar, or a daily calendar view in a wearable device. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to spatial-spectral filtering for multi-material CT decomposition. The invention includes a specialized filter that spectrally shapes an x-ray beam into a number of beamlets with different spectra. The filter allows decomposition of an object/anatomy into different material categories (including different biological types: muscle, fat, etc. or exogenous contrast agents that have been introduced: e.g iodine, gadolinium, etc.). The x-ray beam is spectrally modulated across the face of the detector using a repeating pattern of filter materials. Such spatial-spectral filters allow for collection of many different spectral channels using “source-side” control. However, in contrast to other spectral techniques that provide mathematically complete projection data, spatial-spectral filtered data is sparse in each spectral channel—making traditional projection-domain or image-domain material decomposition difficult to apply. Therefore, the present invention uses model-based material decomposition, which combines reconstruction and multi-material decomposition, and permits arbitrary spectral, spatial, and angular sampling patterns. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method is provided for imaging a contrast agent. The system includes a power injector that delivers a contrast agent as a series of boluses using a known period, flow rate, or duration and with a rate of at least one or more separate boluses per cardiac cycle. An x-ray imaging system acquires a reference dataset of the subject before the contrast agent is delivered and acquires an imaging dataset as the series of boluses are delivered to the subject, wherein multiple images are acquired of the subject per bolus. A computer system receives the reference dataset and the imaging dataset from the x-ray imaging system and reconstructs the reference dataset and the imaging dataset using a reconstruction process that removes the subject from the images to generate time-resolved volumetric images of the contrast agent moving within a volume of the subject without the subject. |

| ABSTRACT | Stress responses involve corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), the two cognate receptors (CRF1 and CRF2) and the CRF-binding protein (CRFBP). Utilizing a novel cell-based assay, a C-terminal CRFBP fragment [CRFBP(10 kD)] was found to potentiates CRF-intracellular Ca2+ release, demonstrating that CRFBP possesses excitatory roles in addition to the inhibitory role established by the N-terminal fragment of CRFBP [CRFBP(27 kD)]. This interaction was CRF2-specific, as CRF1 responses were not potentiated by CRFBP(10 kD). As there were currently no small molecule ligands available that selectively interact with either CRFBP or CRF2, a cell-based assay was miniaturized, wherein CRFBP(10 kD) was fused as a chimera with CRF2α, that allowed us to a perform a high-throughput screen (HTS) of approximately 350,000 small molecules. This resulted in the identification of negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) of the CRFBP(10 kD)-CRF2 complex that blunt CRF-induced potentiation of N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor (NMDAR)-mediated synaptic transmission in dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). These results provide the first evidence of specific roles for CRF2 and CRFBP in the modulation of neuronal activity and suggest that NMDARs in the VTA may be a target for the treatment of stress and substance abuse disorders such as alcohol use disorder. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods of treating mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation and/or transport disorders arising from mutant proteins in the mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation and transport metabolic pathways in patients are provided. The methods modulate the mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation pathway at the last step so that the product of the mutant protein accumulates and stabilizes the mutant protein and/or the substrate(s)/product(s) of the down stream reactions accumulate and possibly bind to allosteric sites on the mutant protein to stabilize it. Trimetazidine pharmacodynamics function as such in the β-oxidation pathway. Further, a synergistic effect is observed where trimetazidine and PPARδ agonist combination enhanced enzyme activity and presence significantly more than either alone. |

| ABSTRACT | CRISPR-Cas9 has enabled a new generation of screening strategies to interrogate gene function. However, redundant genes and the complexity of functional gene networks can confound single gene knockout approaches. Furthermore, simple addition of two or more sgRNAs has shown only modest targeting efficacy in screening approaches. The present invention relates to combined orthogonal CRISPR-derived components to maximize gene targeting activity with minimal cross-talk and interference. The present invention also relates to efficient S. aureus Cas9 sgRNA design rules, which were paired with S. pyogenes Cas9 sgRNA design rules to achieve dual target gene inactivation in a high fraction of cells. Applicants developed a lentiviral vector and cloning strategy to generate high complexity pooled dual-knockout libraries and show that screening these libraries can identify combinatorial phenotypes, including synthetic lethal gene pairs across multiple cell types. The gene pairs can be targeted therapeutically and Applicants disclose therapeutically effective combination therapies. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are disclosed that utilize metal nanostructures that are synthesized in situ along the internal surfaces of a microfluidic device. The nanostructures are formed by initial deposition of metallic seeds followed by flowing growth and reducing agent solutions into the capillaries/microfluidic channels to grow the nanostars. The nanostructures may optionally be functionalized with a capture ligand. The capture ligand may be used to selectively bind to certain cells (e.g., circulating tumor cells). The cells may be removed by a beam of light (e.g., laser beam) that induces localized heating at the surface location(s) containing the nanostructures. The plasmonic nature of the nanostructures can be used to heat the nanostructure(s) locally for the selective removal of one or certain cells. The nanostructures may be used to acquire Raman spectra of molecules or other small objects that are bound thereto for identification and quantification. |

| ABSTRACT | Chimeric receptors featuring major histocompatibility molecules grafted onto T cell receptor molecules and surrogate co-receptors featuring cell surface receptor ligands fused with signaling molecule domains. The chimeric receptors can be used to redirect cells, altering their specificity. T cells expressing chimeric receptors may bind to TCRs of target T cells for which their chimeric receptors are specific. Surrogate co-receptors may be used to help enhance TCR-CD3 signaling as part of this modular receptor system. The chimeric receptors and surrogate coreceptors may be used to help eliminate autoreactive T cells or program T cells to desired effector functions. |

| ABSTRACT | Enhancing the delivery of therapeutic, diagnostic and other useful compounds to the brain and other tissues permits more effective use of reagents and use of lower doses. Our method permits enhanced delivery of molecules that are diagnostically, therapeutically, or otherwise useful to specific tissues in the body, including the central nervous system (CNS). Large, hydrophilic molecules, such as antibodies, are typically restricted from entering the CNS by the blood-brain barrier and fail to accumulate to therapeutic levels within the brain. Our method permits enhanced penetrance of the CNS by peripherally administered antibodies. Our method can be applied to enhance the delivery of a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic, and otherwise useful molecules to any tissue, many of which have previously been clinically ineffective due to poor tissue penetrance. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments of the disclosure concern the use of expression constructs in which at least one polyA signal is embedded upstream of an expressible transcript, such as within a 5′ UTR for the transcript, for example. In certain embodiments, the polyA signal is comprised within a ligand-binding aptamer, and the binding of the ligand to the aptamer, or lack thereof, dictates the outcome for the expressible transcript. In specific embodiments, absence of the ligand causes the expressed transcript having a polyA in its 5′ UTR to be expressed but then degraded, whereas presence of the ligand causes inhibition of degradation upon expression of the expressible transcript. More than one ligand-binding aptamer may be present on the same expression construct. |

| ABSTRACT | Herein are innovations that enable facile cryo-EM analysis of diverse samples. Methods of functionalizing sample grids for cryo-EM are described, including methods of creating high quality graphene oxide films on cryo-EM substrates. The cryo-EM sample substrates are functionalized with affinity molecules that efficiently concentrate sample molecules and other specimen types on the grid, away from the air-water interface. Affinity groups include amines and proteins such as tagging system proteins and peptides that can be used to capture diverse sample types with high affinity. Optionally, spacers such as PEG chains are used to place sample particles away from the substrate surface, reducing substrate-induced artifacts. |

| ABSTRACT | An open-ended hollow coaxial cable resonator probe configured to receive an aerosol sample for analysis. A metal post shorts the resonator's inner and outer conductors. A metal plate is spaced apart from an open end of the resonator by a dielectric layer that contains the received aerosol sample. Interrogator circuitry coupled to the resonator transmits an electromagnetic wave within the resonator and generates an electric field at the open end of the resonator. The interrogator circuitry is responsive to the generated electric field for determining a resonance frequency and an impedance of the resonator when the aerosol sample is present in the dielectric layer and is configured to identify virus particles in the aerosol sample as a function of the determined resonance frequency and impedance. A portable aerosol analyzer comprises the open-ended hollow coaxial cable resonator and a mouthpiece through which a subject expels a breath sample into the open end of the resonator. Antibodies tethered to high-permittivity nanoparticles attach to pathogens selectively, resulting in enhanced sensing with molecular-level specificity. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention, in some aspects, relates to systems and methods for determining oxidized proteins, including glutathionylated proteins such as S-glutathionylated proteins. The systems and methods of the invention can be used in vitro (e.g., in cell or tissue culture) or in vivo, for example, to diagnose a person having an oxidative stress condition. For instance, in some cases, the invention can be used to spatially determine the location and/or concentration of oxidized proteins within cells and/or tissues (e.g., through visual detection). In one set of embodiments, a glutathionylated or otherwise oxidized moiety on a protein may be reacted with a detection entity, which may be, for example, fluorescent, radioactive, electron-dense, able to bind to a signaling entity or a binding partner in order to produce a signal, etc. As a specific example, a glutathionylated moiety on a glutathionylated protein may be reacted with an alkylating agent to form an alkylthio moiety; the alkylthio moiety may include a detection entity or otherwise be able to interact with a signaling entity. In some embodiments, other moieties on the protein may be altered or blocked before reaction of the protein with the detection entity. Such moieties on the protein may be, for instance, non-oxidized or non-glutathionylated moieties able to react with the detection entity. As a particular example, in a protein containing a glutathionylated moiety and non-glutathionylated thiol moieties, the thiol moieties may first be altered or blocked prior to reaction of the protein with the detection entity. Also provided in certain aspects of the present invention are kits for determining oxidized proteins, which may include components such as detection entities, alkylating agents, blocking agents, reducing agents, signaling entities, binding partners, antibodies, instructions, and the like. |

| ABSTRACT | A reliable assay to specifically detect CD155 in tissue sections has widespread use because CD155 is expressed widely among tumor types. Additionally, detected expression of CD 155 in glioblastoma cells is at levels commensurate with susceptibility to PVSRIPO (a poliovirus construct) infection and killing. An anti-CD155 antibody can achieve mono-specific detection of CD155 in immunoblots of tumor homogenates and immunohistochemistry of tumor formalin fixed, paraffin embedded sections. The assay can be used to determine appropriate use of PVSRIPO in oncolytic immunotherapy against cancers. |

| ABSTRACT | Enzymes that reduce specific metal or metalloid ions to insoluble form are important to science. Peptides isolated from yeast- and phage-display libraries can affect the size and morphology of inorganic materials during their synthesis. Herein, an Se binding peptide was fused to an enzyme capable of reducing selenite (SeO32−) to a Se0 nanoparticle (SeNP). The fusion of the Se binding peptide to the metalloid reductase provided size control of the resulting SeNP. The SeNP product also remains associated to the enzyme fusion. The Se binding peptide fusion to the enzyme increases the enzyme's SeO32− reductase activity. Modification of enzyme activity was absent, and the size control of particles was diminished when the Se binding peptide was added exogenously to the reaction mixture. Binding of the peptide is attributed to His based ligation that results in a conformational change to the peptide. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for determining an undersampling error for a magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) pulse sequence includes retrieving a plurality of sets of spatial response functions. Each set of spatial response functions is associated with a tissue type in a reference image and is based on a tissue mask of the reference image for each tissue type. A signal evolution for each tissue type may be generated based on, for example, the MRF pulse sequence, An undersampled image may be generated for each tissue type using the set of spatial response functions and the signal evolutions for the tissue type. At least one quantitative parameter may be determined by comparing an undersampled image series created from the undersampled images to an MRF dictionary. An undersampling error for the MRF pulse sequence may be generated by comparing a quantitative map (or maps) for the quantitative parameter (or parameters) and the reference image. |

| ABSTRACT | Various examples of methods and systems are provided related to functional deep neural networks (FDNNs), which can be used for high dimensional data analysis. In one example, a FDNN can be trained with a training set of omic data to produce a trained FDNN model. The likelihood of a condition can be determined based upon output indications of the FDNN corresponding to the one or more phenotypes, with the output indications based upon analysis of omic data including a multi-level omic profile from an individual by the trained FDNN. The FDNN model can include a series of basis functions as layers to capture complexity between the omic data with disease phenotypes. A treatment or prevention strategy for the individual can be identified based at least in part upon the likelihood of the condition. |

| ABSTRACT | A sensory mapping method for a human brain is disclosed. The method includes the steps of flattening the cortical surface of the human brain, projecting functional imaging data onto the flattened surface, smoothing the functional imaging data, generating a sensory map, registering sensory maps across individuals and analyzing the maps in the common space. The flattening utilizes a conformal parametrization method. The smoothing utilizes a topological smoothing method that utilizes a diffeomorphic smoother. The registering is diffeomorphic. The sensory mapping method may further include a step of processing the functional imaging data to produce topological results. |

| ABSTRACT | The anion exchange membranes exhibit enhanced chemical stability and ion conductivity when compared with traditional styrene-based alkaline anion exchange membranes. A copolymer backbone is polymerized from a reaction medium that includes a diphenylalkylene and an alkadiene. The copolymer includes a plurality of pendant phenyl groups. The diphenyl groups on the polymer backbone are functionalized with one or more haloalkylated precursor substrates. The terminal halide from the precursor substrate can then be substituted with a desired ionic group. The diphenylethylene-based alkaline anion exchange membranes lack the α-hydrogens sharing tertiary carbons with phenyl groups from polystyrene or styrene-based precursor polymers, resulting in higher chemical stability. The ionic groups are also apart from each other by about 3 to 6 carbons in the polymer backbone, enhancing ion conductivity. These membrane are advantageous for use in fuel cells, electrolyzers employing hydrogen, ion separations, etc. |

| ABSTRACT | An anion exchange membrane is provided by converting carbon-carbon double bonds in the backbone of polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polystyrene (SBS) into epoxide groups. Unmodified SBS is first partially hydrogenated to remove about 65% to about 90% of carbon-carbon double bonds. The remaining double bonds are then converted to epoxide groups to form an epoxidized SBS. UV-initiated ring opening reactions between the epoxidized SBS and haloalkyloxiranes are then employed to simultaneously functionalize and crosslink the epoxidized SBS. The halide groups in the crosslinked polymer network can be replaced via nucleophilic substitution to offer anion conductivity, e.g., via reaction with trimethylamine. Further ion exchange reactions can then be performed to make the membrane hydroxide conductive. The crosslinked membranes described herein exhibit a mechanical strength improvement of 200% compared to unmodified SBS, while maintaining high hydroxide conductivity. This synthetic platform is advantageous to provide mechanically robust anion exchange membranes for fuel cell applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Carbon nanotube (CNT) agglomerates can be aligned along the field lines between adjacent electrodes to form conductive bridges. The present invention is directed to a stepwise process of dielectrophoretic deposition of CNTs to form conducting bridges between adjacent electrodes spanning lengths over 50 microns. The CNT bridges are permanently secured using electrodeposition of the conducting polymer polypyrrole. Morphologies of the CNT bridges formed within a frequency range of 1 kHz and 10 MHz are employed and explained as a consequence of interplay between dielectrophoretic and electroosmotic forces. Postdeposition heat treatment increases conductivity of CNT bridges likely due to solvent evaporation and resulting surface tension inducing better contact between CNTs. |

| ABSTRACT | A new and useful thermochromic liquid crystal Indicator is disclosed that provides an indication of the temperature of the Object to which the Indicator is attached, and is an improvement over the existing art for at least the fact that the impact of ambient air circulating around the Indicator and circulating the Object is reduced by several means, such as i) the use of a novel cap or housing to isolate the liquid crystal Structure from ambient air and from touching or ii) using a novel liquid crystal formulation that reduces the reaction time of the thermochromic liquid crystal contained in the Indicator to changing temperatures conveyed by the ambient air. The new and useful liquid crystal Indicator can also employ either a template or a colored filter as a mask that narrows the colors and narrows the range of temperatures indicated by the Indicator. |

| ABSTRACT | An open-ended hollow coaxial cable resonator probe configured to receive an aerosol sample for analysis. A metal post shorts the resonator's inner and outer conductors. A metal plate is spaced apart from an open end of the resonator by a dielectric layer that contains the received aerosol sample. Interrogator circuitry coupled to the resonator transmits an electromagnetic wave within the resonator and generates an electric field at the open end of the resonator. The interrogator circuitry is responsive to the generated electric field for determining a resonance frequency and an impedance of the resonator when the aerosol sample is present in the dielectric layer and is configured to identify virus particles in the aerosol sample as a function of the determined resonance frequency and impedance. A portable aerosol analyzer comprises the open-ended hollow coaxial cable resonator and a mouthpiece through which a subject expels a breath sample into the open end of the resonator. Antibodies tethered to high-permittivity nanoparticles attach to pathogens selectively, resulting in enhanced sensing with molecular-level specificity. |

| ABSTRACT | The problem of positioning one or more nerve ends inside a sheathing implant is solved by the use of a pulley and cinching systems that pull a nerve end into an implant and that can adjust the diameter of an implant to conform the implant to the diameter of the nerve, respectively. The pulley system utilizes a suture that traverses the wall of an implant leaving one end outside the implant wall and another end that can be attached to a nerve. Pulling the suture end outside the wall pulls the nerve attached to the other end of the suture into the bore of the implant. A cinching system utilizes specially arranged sutures within the wall of an implant to tighten or cinch up the wall after a nerve is placed therein, so as to conform at least part of the implant to the diameter of the nerve. Methods are also disclosed by which such pulley systems can be formed during an intraoperative procedure. |

| ABSTRACT | A projectile and deployment method ensures successful deployment of the projectile regardless of an external environment. Contacting engagement is maintained between a piston and deployable fins as the fins rotate from a folded position to a deployed position. The fins are pushed by the piston to rotate into a deployed position in which the fins are locked before the piston is able to eject from the assembly. Using the engaging tabs between the fins and the piston, and a modular pressure reservoir, the piston continues to push on the fins at least until the fins are deployed and locked. After locking, pressure in the projectile is equalized and the piston is launched off of the pressure reservoir. If the fins are not immediately deployed and locked, the piston will continue to push on the fins until the external environment enables full deployment or until the pressure is equalized. |

| ABSTRACT | The stiffness and topology of ultra-small circular DNAs and DNA/peptide hybrids are exploited to create a transducer of enzyme activity with low error rates. The modularity and flexibility of the concept are illustrated by demonstrating various transducers that respond to either specific restriction endonucleases or to specific proteases. In all cases the output is a DNA oligo signal that, as we show, can readily be converted directly to an optical readout, or can serve as input for further processing, for example, using DNA logic or amplification. By exploiting the DNA hairpin (or stem-loop) structure and the phenomenon of strand displacement, an enzyme signal is converted into a DNA signal, in the manner of a transducer. This is valuable because a DNA signal can be readily amplified, combined, and processed as information. |

| ABSTRACT | Emulating scratchpad functionality using caches in processor-based devices is disclosed. In one aspect, each cache line within a cache of a processor-based device is associated with a corresponding scratchpad indicator indicating whether the corresponding cache line is exempt from the replacement policy used to select a cache line for eviction. Upon receiving data that corresponds to a memory access operation indicated as requiring scratchpad functionality, the cache controller stores the data in a cache line of the cache, and then sets the corresponding scratchpad indicator for the cache line. Subsequently, the cache controller emulates scratchpad functionality by allowing conventional memory read and write operations to be performed on the cache line, but does not apply its replacement policy to that cache line when selecting a cache line as a candidate for eviction. In this manner, the cache line may remain in the cache for use as scratchpad memory by software. |

| ABSTRACT | Compute engine circuitry configured to represent a spin network mapping of a graph representing a combinatorial optimization problem includes a plurality of ring oscillator cells, each of which includes a ring oscillator having an oscillator output, at least one coupling block, and a read block. Each coupling block connects the ring oscillator of the cell to the ring oscillator of one of a plurality of neighboring cells to form a coupled ring oscillator. The read block generates a state output for each coupled ring oscillator that indicates whether the coupled ring oscillator is in one of a same-phase state, in which the connected ring oscillators oscillate in phase with each other, and an opposite-phase state, in which the connected ring oscillators oscillate in an opposite phase from each other. A controller is configured to output a total energy of the mapping based on the state outputs. |

| ABSTRACT | A carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNFET), that has a channel formed of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), includes a layered deposit of a nonstoichiometric doping oxide (NDO), such as HfOX, where the concentration of the NDO varies through the thickness of the layer(s). An n-type metal-oxide semiconductor (NMOS) CNFET made in this manner can achieve similar ON-current, OFF-current, and/or threshold voltage magnitudes to a corresponding p-type metal-oxide semiconductor (PMOS) CNFET. Such an NMOS and PMOS can be used to achieve a symmetric complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) CNFET design. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for synthesizing fibers having nanoparticles therein are provided, as well as preforms and fibers incorporating nanoparticles. The nanoparticles may include one or more rare earth ions selected based on fluorescence at eye-safer wavelengths, surrounded by a low-phonon energy host. Nanoparticles that are not doped with rare earth ions may also be included as a co-dopant to help increase solubility of nanoparticles doped with rare earth ions in the silica matrix. The nanoparticles may be incorporated into a preform, which is then drawn to form fiber. The fibers may beneficially be incorporated into lasers and amplifiers that operate at eye safer wavelengths. Lasers and amplifiers incorporating the fibers may also beneficially exhibit reduced Stimulated Brillouin Scattering. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for symmetric encryption between a client and a server device include a client device having an array of physical unclonable function devices and a server device storing information sufficient to reconstruct responses of the devices to an applied stimulus such as varying levels of electrical current. The server shares a challenge with the client, which measures characteristics such as electrical resistances for a subset of the devices according to instructions extracted from the challenge. The client measures a corresponding reference device in the array for each device of the subset and assigns a value determined based on a comparison of each device with the corresponding reference device to generate a cryptographic key. The server calculates an expected response of the client to the challenge according to a model of the devices in the array, and uses the calculated response to generate the key independently. |

| ABSTRACT | The anion exchange membranes exhibit enhanced chemical stability and ion conductivity when compared with traditional styrene-based alkaline anion exchange membranes. A copolymer backbone is polymerized from a reaction medium that includes a diphenylalkylene and an alkadiene. The copolymer includes a plurality of pendant phenyl groups. The diphenyl groups on the polymer backbone are functionalized with one or more haloalkylated precursor substrates. The terminal halide from the precursor substrate can then be substituted with a desired ionic group. The diphenylethylene-based alkaline anion exchange membranes lack the α-hydrogens sharing tertiary carbons with phenyl groups from polystyrene or styrene-based precursor polymers, resulting in higher chemical stability. The ionic groups are also apart from each other by about 3 to 6 carbons in the polymer backbone, enhancing ion conductivity. These membrane are advantageous for use in fuel cells, electrolyzers employing hydrogen, ion separations, etc. |

| ABSTRACT | An anion exchange membrane is provided by converting carbon-carbon double bonds in the backbone of polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polystyrene (SBS) into epoxide groups. Unmodified SBS is first partially hydrogenated to remove about 65% to about 90% of carbon-carbon double bonds. The remaining double bonds are then converted to epoxide groups to form an epoxidized SBS. UV-initiated ring opening reactions between the epoxidized SBS and haloalkyloxiranes are then employed to simultaneously functionalize and crosslink the epoxidized SBS. The halide groups in the crosslinked polymer network can be replaced via nucleophilic substitution to offer anion conductivity, e.g., via reaction with trimethylamine. Further ion exchange reactions can then be performed to make the membrane hydroxide conductive. The crosslinked membranes described herein exhibit a mechanical strength improvement of 200% compared to unmodified SBS, while maintaining high hydroxide conductivity. This synthetic platform is advantageous to provide mechanically robust anion exchange membranes for fuel cell applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) comprising amines on the organic linker can be used for cell targeting. In particular, primary amine groups represent one of the most versatile chemical moieties for conjugation to biologically relevant molecules, including antibodies and enzymes. Different chemical conjugation schemes can be used to conjugate biological molecules to the amino functionality on the organic linker. For example, carbodiimide chemistry can be used to link a primary amine to available carboxyl groups on the protein. For example, sulfhydryl crosslinking chemistry can be used via Traut's reagent scheme. As a demonstration of the invention, the ability of EpCAM antibody-targeted MOFs to bind to a human epithelial cell line (A549), a common target for imaging studies, was confirmed with confocal microscopy. |

| ABSTRACT | A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) security component for single-party and multi-party monitoring is provided. The security component includes an optical fiber having a plurality of Bragg gratings. The Bragg gratings provide a spectral response that is randomized based on the manufacture of the security component. For single-party use, the spectral response provides a reproducible spectral signature when interrogated with an optical signal. For multi-party use, each party applies a known optical interrogation signal to the security component and applies an external stress known only to the respective monitoring party. The resulting shift in the spectral signature is unique to each monitoring party, making it extremely difficult to successfully counterfeit the security component's response for all such parties. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic, saprophytic fungus that infects maize and other fatty acid-rich food and feed crops and produces toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites known as aflatoxins. In vitro studies showed a five-fold increase in antifungal activity of AGM182 (vs. tachyplesin1) against A. flavus. Transgenic maize plants expressing AGM182 under maize Ubiquitin-1 promoter were produced through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. PCR products confirmed integration of the AGM182 gene, while RT-PCR of maize RNA confirmed the presence of AGM182 transcripts. Maize kernel screening assay using a highly aflatoxigenic A. flavus strain (AF70) showed up to 72% reduction in fungal growth in the transgenic AGM182 seeds compared to isogenic negative control seeds. |

| ABSTRACT | One or more thermal images containing pixel-by-pixel radiation intensity data in two or more wavelength bands can be processed to accurately determine the location of fire within the image(s), regardless of the radiation-scattering effects of smoke. First, all pixels having radiation intensities above a fire threshold in the longer-wavelength band are classified as being aflame. Second, a threshold curve defining a fire threshold in the shorter-wavelength band is applied to the pixels, and those having radiation intensities above the fire threshold in the shorter-wavelength band are classified as being aflame. Third, at least the second group of pixels above is tested to see if each pixel classified as being aflame is part of a group of adjoining pixels which were all classified as being aflame, and if so, each such pixel is reclassified as not being aflame unless it also falls within the first group of pixels above. |

| ABSTRACT | A new and useful thermochromic liquid crystal Indicator is disclosed that provides an indication of the temperature of the Object to which the Indicator is attached, and is an improvement over the existing art for at least the fact that the impact of ambient air circulating around the Indicator and circulating the Object is reduced by several means, such as i) the use of a novel cap or housing to isolate the liquid crystal Structure from ambient air and from touching or ii) using a novel liquid crystal formulation that reduces the reaction time of the thermochromic liquid crystal contained in the Indicator to changing temperatures conveyed by the ambient air. The new and useful liquid crystal Indicator can also employ either a template or a colored filter as a mask that narrows the colors and narrows the range of temperatures indicated by the Indicator. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods of performing temperature swing solvent extraction (TSSE) descaling of produced water and desalination of high-salinity brines, e.g., those having a total dissolved solids (TDS) greater than about 250,000 ppm are capable of producing descaled water products including less than about 5% weight percent TDS. The brine/produced water feedstreams and combined with a solvent having temperature-dependent water solubility at a temperature TL. Water is extracted from the feedstream into the solvent to form a water-in-solvent extract component and a raffinate component, from which a solid phase can be precipitated as more water is portioned in the solvent and basicity increases. Heating of the water-in-solvent extract component reduces the solubility of the water therein, producing a biphasic mixture of dewatered solvent and descaled water that can be separated. Because these systems and methods do not require a phase change of water, these products are achieved with significantly higher energy efficiencies when compared to evaporation-based thermal methods. |

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, October 07, 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:
