| 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 | The present invention provides stem cells loaded with bi-functional magnetic nanoparticles (nanoparticle-loaded stem cells (NLSC)) that both: a) heat in an alternating magnetic field (AMF); and b) provide MRI contrast enhancement for MR-guided hyperthermia. The nanoparticles in the NLSC are non-toxic, and do not alter stem cell proliferation and differentiation, the nanoparticles do however, become heated in an alternating magnetic field, enabling therapeutic applications for cancer treatment. Due to the fact that circulating stem cells home to tumors and metastasis, and participate in neovascularization of growing tumors, the NLSC of the present invention allows tracking of the tissue distribution of infused stem cells and selective heating of targeted tissues with AMF. NLSC can deliver hyperthermia to hypoxic areas in tumors for sensitization of those areas to subsequent treatment, thus delivering therapy to the most treatment-resistant tumor regions. The heating of diseased tissue either results in direct cell killing or makes the tumor more susceptible to radio- and/or chemotherapy. The targeted hyperthermia provided by the present invention has clinical potential because it is associated with fewer side effects, and can also be used in combination with conventional treatment modalities, significantly enhancing their effectiveness. The NLSC of the present invention can be used for MR image-guided hyperthermia in oncology, in stem cell research for cell tracking and heating, and for elimination of mis-injected stem cells. |

| ABSTRACT | Presented herein are novel phosphotyrosine binding compositions, including antibodies and antibody fragments. The inventors of the present disclosure have resolved the crystal structures of two widely utilized pan-specific pY antibodies, PY20 and 4G10. These two known antibodies, although developed independently from animal immunizations, have surprisingly similar modes of recognition of the phosphate group, and revealed a generic binding structure among pan-specific pY antibodies. Based on this newly discovered convergent structure, engineered CDR-L3 loops were developed that impart greatly improved affinity to pY binding antibodies and other pY binding compositions. The inventions disclosed herein include antibodies and antibody fragments bearing these novel CDR-L3 sequences and methods of using such pY binding compositions for the detection of phosphotyrosine-bearing proteins. |

| ABSTRACT | Bioreactors and components of bioreactors are described as may be beneficially utilized in development and conditioning of cellular materials for study or implant. The bioreactors are modular and components of the bioreactors can be easily assembled with alternatives provided to develop specific, predetermined conditioning environments for cellular materials (e.g., implantable tissue). By selection of one of multiple alternative compliance chambers, a bioreactor can be utilized to condition tissue in a low pressure circuit (e.g., a pulmonary heart circuit), and by utilization of an alternative compliance chamber, the bioreactor can instead condition tissue in a high pressure circuit (e.g., an aortic heart circuit). |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides systems and methods for the highly sensitive and effective treatment and diagnosis of cancer. The methods disclosed herein take advantage of the discovery of a series of newly identified, inter-chromosomal genetic fusion events that occur upstream from the IGF2BP3 gene, which result in elevated expression of IGF2BP3 protein. The present disclosure utilizes biomarkers developed using this set of newly discovered genetic fusion events and elevated expression of IGF2BP3 protein to not only diagnosis cancer with high sensitivity and reliability, but also to pre-select patient populations that are expected to display an elevated likelihood of success when treated with any of numerous inhibitors of IGF1R-mediated signaling. |

| ABSTRACT | In a method p for controlling translocation of a target polymer molecule through a nanopore, a clamp is reversibly bound to a sequential plurality of polymer subunits along the target polymer molecule length and the molecule and clamp are disposed in an ionic solution that is in fluidic communication with the nanopore. A constant translocation force is applied across the nanopore to induce travel of the target polymer molecule into the nanopore, until the clamp abuts the nanopore aperture and stops further travel of the target polymer molecule into the nanopore. Then a voltage control pulse is applied across the nanopore and/or a thermal control pulse is applied at the nanopore, with a pulse duration that steps the clamp along the target polymer molecule by no more than one polymer subunit in a direction opposite that of travel into the nanopore. No fuel is provided to the clamp. |

| ABSTRACT | Described here are systems and methods for producing images of a subject using magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) in which data are acquired using a sparse approximate encoding scheme for controlled aliasing techniques. As one example, the sparse approximate encoding can be used for a Wave-CAIPI encoding scheme, which can enable faster image reconstruction using fewer computational resources, in addition to reducing noise in the reconstructed images relative to those reconstructed from data acquired using a Wave-CAIPI encoding scheme without sparse approximate encoding. |

| ABSTRACT | A pulsed beam of NIR excitation light is projected into a sample (345) at an oblique angle and scanned by a scanning element through a volume in the sample. 2-photon excitation excites fluorescence within the sample. The fluorescence is imaged onto an intermediate image plane that remains stationary regardless of the orientation of the scanning element. The image is captured by a linear array of light detecting elements (392) or a linear portion of a rectangular array. At any given position of the scanning element, the linear array (or portion) images all depths simultaneously. A plurality of images are captured for each of a plurality of different orientations of the scanning element. The orientation of the scanning element is controlled to move in a two dimensional pattern, which causes the beam of excitation light to sweep out a three dimensional volume within the sample. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure relates to electrically tunable optical cells including ionic liquids. The optical cell includes opposing substrates defining an internal cell volume containing the ionic liquid. The optical cell further includes an electrically conductive layer or film on at least one substrate, where the electrically conductive layer is adapted to receive a voltage differential and induced current therethrough. The resulting current through the electrically conductive layer induces a charge density gradient in the neighboring ionic liquid. The refractive index of the ionic liquid in the optical cell can be controlled by adjusting the charge density gradient in the ionic liquid. At least some of the components of the optical cell can be formed from transparent materials, thus providing transmissive or reflective optical cells. |

| ABSTRACT | The frame preamble in current wireless systems is designed to facilitate various PHY-layer functions, including frequency offset estimation and frame detection. However, this preamble is assumed to be constant and is seldom used to convey any frame-specific bits. Embedding information into the preamble can open the door for new PHY-layer applications. P-modulation, a method that enables an OFDM-based wireless transmitter to embed frame-specific bits into the frame preamble to accomplish PHY-layer applications (while remaining backward-compatible with legacy receivers), is presented. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure describes various aspects of acousto-optic modulator (AOM) configurations for quantum processing. A method is described including generating, by a first AOM from a laser beam, first and second diffracted laser beams at different angles based on first and second radio frequency (RF) tones. An optical component focuses the diffracted laser beams onto a second AOM, which generates third and fourth diffracted laser beams based on the first RF tone and a third RF tone and the second RF tone and a fourth RF tone respectively, wherein the third and fourth diffracted laser beams are substantially parallel when incident on a respective ion in a chain of ions in a trap. Quantum information in the ion is controlled to perform quantum processing based on the third and fourth diffracted laser beams. Another method is described including generating, by an AOM, a small polarization rotation of an undiffracted laser beam. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for correcting non-rigid thin-walled tubular elements having geometric deficiencies, wherein, following correction, the tubular elements may perform over a wide range of pressure and temperatures, for example as a rocket motor beaker, from about −70 C to about 1000 C. Correction is required to remove asperities, maximize cylindricity, squaring a forward end wall and a rearward end wall, so that the forward end wall of the tube product may be fitted, bonded and sealed to a circular planar element using a labyrinth-joint closure. The method provides uniformity so that both the tubular elements and the circular planar elements are interchangeably uniform in size, shape and performance, and may be readily assembled into non-rigid thin-walled tube products. |

| ABSTRACT | A three-way (3-way) Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)-based micro-valve device and method of fabrication for the implementation of a three-way MEMS-based micro-valve are disclosed. The micro-valve device has a wide range of applications, including medical, industrial control, aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics and products, as well as any application(s) requiring the use of three-way micro-valves for the control of fluids. The discloses three-way micro-valve device and method of fabrication that can be tailored to the requirements of a wide range of applications and fluid types, and can also use a number of different actuation methods, including actuation methods that have very small actuation pressures and energy densities even at higher fluidic pressures. This is enabled by a novel pressure-balancing scheme, wherein the fluid pressure balances the actuator mechanism so that only a small amount of actuation pressure (or force) is needed to switch the state of the actuator and device from open to closed, or closed to open. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure relates to electrically tunable optical cells including ionic liquids. The optical cell includes opposing substrates defining an internal cell volume containing the ionic liquid. The optical cell further includes an electrically conductive layer or film on at least one substrate, where the electrically conductive layer is adapted to receive a voltage differential and induced current therethrough. The resulting current through the electrically conductive layer induces a charge density gradient in the neighboring ionic liquid. The refractive index of the ionic liquid in the optical cell can be controlled by adjusting the charge density gradient in the ionic liquid. At least some of the components of the optical cell can be formed from transparent materials, thus providing transmissive or reflective optical cells. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a cognitive signal processor that is implemented in a field programmable gate array (FPGA). During operation, the FGPA receives a continuous noisy signal. The continuous noisy signal is a time-series of data points from a mixture signal of waveforms having both noise and a desired waveform signal. The continuous noisy signal is linearly mapped to reservoir states of a dynamical reservoir. A high-dimensional state-space representation of the continuous noisy signal is generated by digitally combining the continuous noisy signal with the reservoir states. Notably, the continuous noisy signal is approximated over a time interval based on a linear basis function. One or more delay-embedded state signals are then generated based on the reservoir states. The continuous noisy signal is then denoised by removing the noise from the desired waveform signal, resulting in a denoised waveform signal. |

| ABSTRACT | A base, a spool, and an antenna structure coupled to the spool has ends that are affixed to the base. The antenna structure is wound about the spool in a stowed state, and unwound to form a loop antenna in the deployed state. The antenna structure may be a bistable composite tape with a cross-sectional curvature and having one or more antenna conductors embedded therein. A storage containment device holds the antenna structure in the stowed state. When in the stored state, the antenna structure generates a strain force against the spool biased to unwind and deploy the antenna structure to form a loop antenna when released. Another embodiment adds a second spool rotating in a direction opposite the first to achieve either state. A further embodiment uses two loop antennas by winding two antenna structures around two pairs of spools, respectively. |

| ABSTRACT | A bicone antenna and methods for manufacture therefor can include a feed portion, a top section and a bottom section that can be centered on a vertical axis. The top section and bottom sections can each have a respective conical surface, which can extend radially outward from the vertical axis at an inner portion at a constant angle θ1 with respect to a horizontal antenna axis of the antenna. For both sections, the inner portion can merge into an outer portion that can have a curved surface, with the curved surface extending radially outward from the conical surface so that the curved surface has a logarithmic profile when viewed in side profile. The above structure can allow for a multi-directional antenna with a minimum of moving parts, which can be easily manufactured, including by additive manufacturing techniques. |

| ABSTRACT | Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and methods for making such are provided. The VCSELs include stepped upper reflectors having respective differently-sized apertures. This allows the lower portion of the reflector to have formed therein a wider-diameter aperture to allow for increased current injection. The upper portion of the reflector has formed therein a narrower-diameter, mode-selecting aperture to allow higher-order modes to be reduced, leading to single-mode operation. The VCSELs are thus capable of higher-power emission in a single mode, allowing for longer-distance signaling over optical fiber, despite modal dispersion within the fiber and/or at the coupling between the VCSEL and the fiber. The two differently-sized apertures can be formed via respective lateral oxidation processes following etch-down to form the respective steps of the upper reflector. Differences in composition across the upper reflector results in temperature-dependence of the oxidation process, allowing the apertures to be formed with different sizes. |

| ABSTRACT | An energy storage system includes a power source configured to generate power. The energy storage system also includes an induction machine coupled to an inertial flywheel, the induction machine configured to receive electrical energy from the power source, store the energy in the flywheel, and deliver a first portion of the energy to a first pulsed load. The energy storage system further includes a damping network configured to receive and absorb a second portion of the energy at a controlled rate to regulate torsional oscillations in a rotary motion of the flywheel caused by load swings or pulsations of the first pulsed load. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for automatically identifying the source of fluctuations in a trans-ionospheric radio signal, by acquiring a portion of the radio signal and computing statistics on it, including mean, standard deviation, scintillation index, skew, kurtosis, decorrelation time, and spectral slope. The scintillation index, skew, kurtosis, decorrelation time, and spectral slope are compared to thresholds, and based at least in part upon the comparisons, at least one condition present in the portion of the radio signal is selectively indicated to an operator, where the condition is selected from the group of no signal fluctuations, RF interference, multipath interference, noise, and ionospheric scintillation. |

| ABSTRACT | The frame preamble in current wireless systems is designed to facilitate various PHY-layer functions, including frequency offset estimation and frame detection. However, this preamble is assumed to be constant and is seldom used to convey any frame-specific bits. Embedding information into the preamble can open the door for new PHY-layer applications. P-modulation, a method that enables an OFDM-based wireless transmitter to embed frame-specific bits into the frame preamble to accomplish PHY-layer applications (while remaining backward-compatible with legacy receivers), is presented. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of recovering metals from electronic waste comprises providing a powder comprising electronic waste in at least a first reactor and a second reactor and providing an electrolyte comprising at least ferric ions in an electrochemical cell in fluid communication with the first reactor and the second reactor. The method further includes contacting the powders within the first reactor and the second reactor with the electrolyte to dissolve at least one base metal from each reactor into the electrolyte and reduce at least some of the ferric ions to ferrous ions. The ferrous ions are oxidized at an anode of the electrochemical cell to regenerate the ferric ions. The powder within the second reactor comprises a higher weight percent of the at least one base metal than the powder in the first reactor. Additional methods of recovering metals from electronic waste are also described, as well as an apparatus of recovering metals from electronic waste. |

| ABSTRACT | A vacuum insulating glazing unit (VIGU) comprises two or more glass lites (panes) spaced apart from one another and hermetically bonded to an edge seal assembly therebetween. The resulting cavity between the lites is evacuated to create at least one insulating vacuum cavity within which are disposed a plurality of stand-off members to maintain separation between the lites. The edge seal assembly is preferably compliant in the longitudinal (i.e., edgewise) direction to allow longitudinal relative motion between the two lites (e.g., from thermal expansion). The longitudinal compliance may be obtained by imprinting a three-dimensional pattern into the edge seal material. The edge seal assembly is preferably bonded to the lites with a first bond portion that is hermetic and a second bond portion that is load-resistant. Methods for producing VIGUs and/or compliant edge seal assemblies and VIGU and edge seal apparatus are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | A pulsed beam of NIR excitation light is projected into a sample (345) at an oblique angle and scanned by a scanning element through a volume in the sample. 2-photon excitation excites fluorescence within the sample. The fluorescence is imaged onto an intermediate image plane that remains stationary regardless of the orientation of the scanning element. The image is captured by a linear array of light detecting elements (392) or a linear portion of a rectangular array. At any given position of the scanning element, the linear array (or portion) images all depths simultaneously. A plurality of images are captured for each of a plurality of different orientations of the scanning element. The orientation of the scanning element is controlled to move in a two dimensional pattern, which causes the beam of excitation light to sweep out a three dimensional volume within the sample. |

| ABSTRACT | A robust and general fabrication/manufacturing method is described herein for the fabrication of periodic three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical nanostructures in a highly scalable and tunable manner. This nanofabrication technique exploits the selected and repeated etching of spherical particles that serve as resist material and that can be shaped in parallel for each processing step. The method enables the fabrication of periodic, vertically aligned nanotubes at the wafer scale with nanometer-scale control in three dimensions including outer/inner diameters, heights/hole-depths, and pitches. The method was utilized to construct 3D periodic hierarchical hybrid silicon and hybrid nanostructures such as multi-level solid/hollow nanotowers where the height and diameter of each level of each structure can be configured precisely as well as 3D concentric plasmonic supported metal nanodisk/nanorings with tunable optical properties on a variety of substrates. |

| ABSTRACT | A de-multiplexer (1) for separating two co-propagating modes of electromagnetic radiation includes a volume (2) having a path therethrough for receiving electromagnetic radiation, an input (8) for directing two co-propagating modes of electromagnetic radiation to be incident upon the volume, a control source (12) of electromagnetic radiation arranged to generate a time-dependent control field. The volume is arranged and the time-dependent control field is shaped such that, when the two co-propagating modes of electromagnetic radiation and the time-dependent control field are incident upon the volume contemporaneously, the time-dependent control field causes the volume to accept one of the two modes of electromagnetic radiation onto a mode of the volume without any parametric non-linear optical interaction taking place and to reflect or transmit the other of the two modes of electromagnetic radiation, so to spatially and/or temporally separate the two modes of electromagnetic radiation from each other. |

| ABSTRACT | The frame preamble in current wireless systems is designed to facilitate various PHY-layer functions, including frequency offset estimation and frame detection. However, this preamble is assumed to be constant and is seldom used to convey any frame-specific bits. Embedding information into the preamble can open the door for new PHY-layer applications. P-modulation, a method that enables an OFDM-based wireless transmitter to embed frame-specific bits into the frame preamble to accomplish PHY-layer applications (while remaining backward-compatible with legacy receivers), is presented. |

| ABSTRACT | A visual privacy system unilaterally blocks rolling shutter cameras by providing a periodically interrupted ambient light source imposing bright and dark bands on the image yet at a frequency imperceptible to human observers in the environment. Communication of the modulation pattern to authorized cameras allows unaffected imaging in these regions by authorized individuals. The system also contemplates operation in a barcoding mode with a light modulation providing embedded barcodes that can be extracted from images taken in the region to indicate that the images were improperly acquired and to block the images in certain applications. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for making small diameter NiTi metal alloy components, including balls, comprising providing a metal powder comprising nickel, titanium, and a transition metal, consolidating the metal powder into cylindrical rods, and cutting the cylindrical rods into segments. The segments are then machined into spheres slightly larger than the finished ball size diameter. The spheres are heat treated to solutionize and dissolve all phases and subsequently cooled without the need for rapid quenching due to the influence of the transition metal to suppresses the formation of soft phases in the spheres, wherein such soft phases prevent hardening, to achieve a Rockwell hardness of HRC 58-62. Finally, the hardened spheres are polished until the desired finished ball size diameter and surface finish is achieved. |

| ABSTRACT | Communication systems are described that use signal constellations, which have unequally spaced (i.e. ‘geometrically’ shaped) points. In many embodiments, the communication systems use specific geometric constellations that are capacity optimized at a specific SNR, over the Rayleigh fading channel. In addition, ranges within which the constellation points of a capacity optimized constellation can be perturbed and are still likely to achieve a given percentage of the optimal capacity increase compared to a constellation that maximizes dmin, are also described. Capacity measures that are used in the selection of the location of constellation points include, but are not limited to, parallel decode (PD) capacity and joint capacity. |

| ABSTRACT | In an example, a ventilator includes an outer container containing liquid, an inverted container submerged in the liquid to provide inverted container space between a closed top and an inner container liquid level; gas supply line to supply breathing gas to the inverted container space; and inhalation line having an inlet in the inverted container space to provide breathing gas to patient. The inverted container moves upward from a preset minimum elevation when the inverted container space reaches a hydrostatic delivery pressure and volume of the inverted container space increases. The inverted container stops moving upward and the gas supply line stops supplying when the inverted container reaches a preset maximum elevation. Based on a breath demand signal or preset timing, the inhalation line opens to permit flow of breathing gas to the patient at the hydrostatic delivery pressure, lowering the inverted container due to lost buoyancy resulting in sinkage. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure describes various aspects of acousto-optic modulator (AOM) configurations for quantum processing. A method is described including generating, by a first AOM from a laser beam, first and second diffracted laser beams at different angles based on first and second radio frequency (RF) tones. An optical component focuses the diffracted laser beams onto a second AOM, which generates third and fourth diffracted laser beams based on the first RF tone and a third RF tone and the second RF tone and a fourth RF tone respectively, wherein the third and fourth diffracted laser beams are substantially parallel when incident on a respective ion in a chain of ions in a trap. Quantum information in the ion is controlled to perform quantum processing based on the third and fourth diffracted laser beams. Another method is described including generating, by an AOM, a small polarization rotation of an undiffracted laser beam. |

| ABSTRACT | Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kidney disorder of unknown etiology and up to 20% of patients on dialysis have this diagnosis. A large family with hereditary FSGS carries a missense mutation in the TRPC6 gene on chromosome 11q, encoding the ion channel protein Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel 6. The missense mutation is a P112Q substitution, which occurs in a highly conserved region of the protein, enhances TRPC6-mediated calcium signals in response to agonists such as angiotensin II, and alters the intracellular distribution of TRPC6 protein. Previous work has emphasized the importance of cytoskeletal and structural proteins in proteinuric kidney diseases. Our findings suggest a novel mechanism for glomerular disease pathogenesis. |

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, June 15, 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 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.
