| ABSTRACT | This application describes novel therapeutic strategies for treating patients with hypertriglyceridemia and/or chylomicronemia based on the presence of GPIHBP1 autoantibodies. It was unexpectedly found that autoantibodies to GPIHBP1, a GPI anchored protein of capillary endothelial cells that shuttles lipoprotein lipase to its site of action in the capillary lumen, were found to be present in patients with hypertriglyceridemia, and that the autoantibodies blocked the binding of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) to GPIHBP1. Patients having hypertriglyceridemia and/or chylomicronemia and also having GPIHBP1 autoantibodies may be treated with a therapeutically effective amount of an immunosuppressive treatment and/or GPIHBP1 activator. |

| ABSTRACT | Controlled release of VIP from PLGA microparticles was accomplished and varied through use of different polymer molecular sizes, addition of solutes to the inner aqueous phase, and use of our computer model. Released VIP from microparticles appeared to be bioactive and caused DCs to produce more CCL22 than DCs treated with blank particles at 7 and 24 hours. Additionally, DCs treated with VIP microparticle releasates recruited higher percentages of FoxP3+ T-cells in in vitro chemotaxis studies. Testing in a mouse model in vivo indicated that VIP microparticles have significant therapeutic potential to treat periodontal disease by reducing the bone loss in infected mice relative to the blank group. |

| ABSTRACT | A protein nanocage formulation with enhanced mucus penetration capability and colloidal stability provides controlled delivery of therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic agents to tumors. A dense coating of a surface altering agent such as polyethylene glycol on self-assembled protein nanocages enhances the rapid and uniform distribution of the formulation at mucosal tissues following topical administration, enhances circulation time following intravenous administration, and enhances penetration into hypoxic tumor cores. The density and the molecular weight of surface altering agents are selected to allow the protein nanocages to also bind to tumor cell receptors and release chemotherapeutic agents after tumor cell uptake. Agents delivered in the formulation have better efficacy compared to carrier-free agents. A method of making the protein nanocage formulation with enhanced mucus penetration and colloidal stability is also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | Recombinant transforming growth factor (TGF)-β monomers modified to inhibit dimerization and block TGF-β signaling are described. The recombinant TGF-β monomers lack the ability to bind and recruit TGF-β type I receptor (TβRI), but retain the capacity to bind the high affinity TGF-β type II receptor (TβRII), and in some instances, include mutations that increase their affinity for TβRII. Nucleic acid molecules and vectors encoding the recombinant TGF-β monomers are also described. Isolated cells, such as T cells, can be re-programmed with a TGF-β monomer-encoding nucleic acid or vector to secrete the monomer. Use of the recombinant TGF-β monomers and/or cells producing the recombinant TGF-β monomers, to inhibit TGF-β signaling, such as to treat disorders associated with aberrant TGF-β signaling, are also described. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides methods for controllably forming a layer of amorphous ice and other amorphous solids on a substrate, and also provides cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) sample preparation methods and systems that utilize in vacuo formation of amorphous ice and other solids. Formation of the amorphous solid layer can be independent of the deposition of sample molecules to be analyzed using electron microscopy, and allows for the generation of a uniformly thick layer. Optionally, mass spectrometry instruments are used to generate and purify molecules deposited on the generated amorphous solid layer. The techniques and systems described herein can deliver near ideal cryo-EM sample preparation to greatly increase resolution, sensitivity, scope, and throughput of cryo-EM protein imaging, and therefore greatly impact the field of structural biology. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system of visually communicating navigation instructions can use translational and rotational arrow cues (TRAC) defined in an object-centric frame while displaying a single principal view that approximates the human's egocentric view of the actual object. A visual guidance system and method can be used to pose a physical object within three-dimensional (3D) space. Received pose data (402) indicates a current position and orientation of a physical object within 3D space, such that the pose data can provide a view of the physical object used to generate a virtual view of the physical object in 3D space. At least two of six degrees of freedom (6DoF) error can be calculated (404) based on a difference between the current position of the physical object and a target pose of the physical object. The 6DoF error can include a three degrees of freedom (3DoF) position error and a 3DoF orientation error which can be used to determine a translation direction and a rotation direction to move the physical object to align a pose of the physical object with the target pose of the physical object within a tolerance. One of both of a translation cue and a rotation cue can be output (408) to indicate a translation direction or rotation direction to move the physical object in alignment with the target pose. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to the design, construction, and operation for a diode-turret. Exemplary embodiments comprise several tens of laser diodes to function as a multiple-line radiation source. The invention further describes the construction for a socket-turret; this socket-turret will flexibly fit any numbers (limited only by the number of sockets available) of laser diodes. The invention further describes two radiation coupling-optics for the output from the turret of laser-diodes, one with an integrating sphere and another with a collimating scope. One operation method allows its user to set for any number of diode, functioning one diode at a time, sequentially, hopping from one diode to another, as a single-line radiation source for the spectrometry. Another operation method permits its user to set a group with any number of diodes, functioning several diodes simultaneously at a time, as a multiple-line radiation source for spectrometry. |

| ABSTRACT | An inspection apparatus detects one or more characteristics of a material sample and includes a transmitter to transmit an initial signal to the material sample, and a receiver to receive a detected signal from the material sample associated with the initial signal. The detected signal has at least a first harmonic signal component and a second harmonic signal component. Data processing circuitry determines a resonant frequency of the first harmonic signal component and an amplitude of the first harmonic signal component at the resonant frequency, and filters the detected signal using a first filter signal having a frequency corresponding to the first harmonic signal component and a second filter signal having a frequency corresponding to the second harmonic signal component. A frequency analysis is performed in the frequency domain on the filtered first and second signals to determine corresponding first and second amplitudes. The first and second amplitudes may be compensated for nonlinearity. One or more nonlinear parameters are determined based on the first and second amplitudes. A user interface communicates one or more characteristics of the material sample based on the first and second compensated amplitudes. |

| ABSTRACT | Method and system for detection and quantification of oxidizable organics in water. The method involves the partial electrolytic decomposition of the oxidizable organics in a short time frame, preferably less than five seconds, and does not involve the use of toxic reagents. The system includes an electrochemical sensor probe that, in turn, includes a boron-doped diamond microelectrode array. The system additionally includes an electronic transducer and a computing device. The system utilizes an analysis technique to convert sensor signal to a result that can be correlated with COD or BOD values obtained by standard methods. The method and system are particularly suitable for, but not limited to, use in monitoring of water quality at wastewater treatment plants. By employing the method before and after adding aerobic microorganisms to the sample, the method may be used to distinguish biologically oxidizable organics from total oxidizable organics. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods, and computer readable medium described herein relate to techniques for characterizing and/or anomaly detection in integrated circuits such as, but not limited to, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). In one example aspect of certain example embodiments, a fully digital technique relies on the pulse width of signals propagated through a path under test. In another example aspect, the re-configurability of the integrated circuit is leveraged to combine the pulse propagation technique with a delay characterization technique to yield better detection of certain type of Trojans and the like. Another example aspect provides for running the test through reconfigurable path segments in order to isolate and identify anomalous circuit elements. Yet another example aspect provides for performing the characterization and anomaly detection without requiring golden references and the like. |

| ABSTRACT | A meta-lens having a phase profile includes a substrate and a plurality of nanostructures disposed on the substrate. Each individual nanostructure of the nanostructures imparts a light phase shift that varies depending on a location of the individual nanostructure on the substrate. The light phase shifts of the nanostructures define the phase profile of the meta-lens. The varying light phase shifts can be realized by, e.g., changing orientations of nanofins or changing diameters of nanopillars. |

| ABSTRACT | A novel transmitter is proposed that provides broadband all-optical linearization of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) modulator for use in high linearity RF photonic links and optical up-converter and down-converter schemes. It is based on an amplitude modulated (AM) MZI modulator where part of the laser Carrier is passed around the MZI modulator and added back to the AM signal, creating a Controlled Carrier-AM (CC-AM) signal. In this new scheme, a dual output MZI modulator is utilized, and the alternative output (Carrier*) is used together with the Carrier from the laser to create a new signal, LO*, which when coherently combined with the AM signal can reduce or completely cancel its 3rd order intermodulation distortion. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods, and apparatus for automatically parallelizing code segments are provided. For example, an environment includes a profiling agent, a parallelization agent, and a verification agent. The profiling agent executes a code segment and generates a profile of the executed code segment. The parallelization agent analyzes the code segment to determine whether a parallelizable portion is present in the code segment. When a parallelizable portion is present, the parallelization agent determines, based on the profile of the executed code segment, whether to parallelize the parallelizable portion of the code segment. If it is determined to parallelize the parallelizable portion of the code segment, the parallelization agent automatically parallelizes the parallelizable portion of the code segment. The verification agent verifies the functionality and/or correctness of the parallelized code segment. |

| ABSTRACT | A memory system supporting programmable selective access to subsets of parallel-arranged memory chips for efficient memory accesses is disclosed. A memory controller is programmable to selectively control a number of parallel-arranged memory chips in the memory system activated in a grouping for a memory access based on a memory access policy. The memory access policy is based on the number of memory chips to be activated to achieve the desired data line size for a given memory access. This programmability of the memory controller is made possible by separate dedicated chip select lines being coupled to each memory chip. Being able to only activate a subset of the memory chips for a memory access allows conservation of data bus bandwidth and power that would otherwise by consumed by asserting unused data on the data buses. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques and systems are described for providing modularity, tracking and simulation features of a mixed reality simulator. A modular approach to tracking systems, tracked instruments, and interchangeable modular physical models is described. Enhanced indicators and indicator interfaces improve imaging probe and instrument orientation and alignment with respect to a physical target, including but not necessarily within a combined physical and virtual system; these include anisotropy indicators, indicators of alignment in both in-plane and out-of-plane ultrasound or other imaging techniques, and perpendicularity indicators for better placement of probes and instruments over curved surfaces. A universal needle hub is described that integrates tracking system components and simulation feedback components usably with varying needle types. |

| ABSTRACT | Spherical ceramic-glass nanocomposite dielectrics made from ceramics and glasses that are separately pre-milled by mechanical ball milling using selected ball-to-powder weight ratios and combined to form a mixture that is ball milled. A stable liquid suspension of the milled mixture including an added dispersant such as polyacrylic acid to improve uniformity is spray dried through a nozzle and recovered product is annealed. The novel dielectrics have a microstructure where ceramic primary particles are uniformly distributed and fully embedded in a glass matrix. The dielectrics have a mean particle size of about 1-20 um and a sphericity of about 0.8 or higher which are suitable for fabricating multilayer ceramic capacitors for high temperature applications. The novel dielectrics afford decreased sintering temperature, enhanced breakdown strength, lower dielectric lose tangent, and lower costs. Calcium titanate zirconate with manganese-doping-based or barium titanate-based dielectric ceramics and alkali-free borosilicate glass produce superior nanocomposite dielectrics. |

| ABSTRACT | Perovskite films are known to be useful in many different technologies, including solar panels and memristors. Most perovskites contain lead which is undesirable for many reasons. It has been found that bismuth can be used in place of lead in preparing perovskite thin films. Additionally, when chemical vapor deposition is used to prepare the films instead of traditional solution phase methods, the films show greatly improved performance in electronic applications. Additionally, the present disclosure is directed to the use of perovskites in memory devices. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosed principles provide for techniques for the 3D fabrication of sensing systems that are embedded inside battery cells and provide cell parameter data for a comprehensive and an robust battery management system. The disclosed principles provide for online and real-time monitoring of battery state-of-health down to the individual cell level of each battery using embedded sensors on one or more of the internal layers of a cell, such as the dielectric separators found in such battery cells. The implementation of the disclosed principles in individual battery cells therefore provides an increased likelihood to mitigate catastrophic failures in batteries. In addition, the disclosed fabrication processes for printing sensors directly on one or more of the components or layers within each individual battery cell, significantly reduce manufacturing steps required by conventional battery management systems. The disclosed principles also provided for a unique silica-based ink for use in the 3D printing of such embedded cell sensing components. |

| ABSTRACT | Single error correction (“SEC”) code and triple error detection (“TED”) code are used to optimize bandwidth and resilience under multiple bit failures. One or more errors in data stored in duplicated registers are detected and corrected using the SEC code and TED code where simultaneous read operations are produced with two copies of data for each of the duplicated registers for a multi-port banked memory array. The SEC code and TED code may be included in each of the two data copies of the simultaneous read operations. |

| ABSTRACT | Transgenic silkworms stably expressing synthetic spider silk genes or composite silkworm/spider silk genes are disclosed. The exogenous spider silk genes are stably intergrated into a defined site of the fibroin heavy chain intron or a fibroin light chain intron of silkworms. Synthetic spider silk proteins and composite spider silk-silkworm genes and proteins are provided. The expression of exogenous spider silk genes is driven by the endogenous fibroin heavy chain promoter, improving the genetic stability of transgenic silkworms. The composite silkworm/spider silk fibers exhibit exceptional mechanical performance, compared to normal silkworm silk fibers and other transgenic silkworm fibers. |

| ABSTRACT | A catalytic membrane reactor and methods of operating and producing the same are provided that efficiently produces highly pure hydrogen (H2) from ammonia (NH3) as well as operates according to other chemical conversion processes. In one embodiment, a tubular ceramic support made from porous yttria-stabilized zirconia has an outer surface that is impregnated with a metal catalyst such as ruthenium and then plated with a hydrogen permeable membrane such as palladium. An inner surface of the ceramic support is impregnated with cesium to promote conversion of ammonia to hydrogen and nitrogen (N2). The resulting catalytic membrane reactor produces highly pure hydrogen at low temperatures and with less catalytic loading. Therefore, ammonia can be used to effectively transport hydrogen for use in, for example, fuel cells in a vehicle. |

| ABSTRACT | Perovskite films are known to be useful in many different technologies, including solar panels and memristors. Most perovskites contain lead which is undesirable for many reasons. It has been found that bismuth can be used in place of lead in preparing perovskite thin films. Additionally, when chemical vapor deposition is used to prepare the films instead of traditional solution phase methods, the films show greatly improved performance in electronic applications. Additionally, the present disclosure is directed to the use of perovskites in memory devices. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods of forming a perovskite-containing film comprising depositing one or more metal oxide layers onto a substrate; and irradiating each metal oxide layer with a UV LED light source after deposition to sinter and/or anneal a target metal oxide in the one or more metal oxide layers without damaging the underlying substrate or perovskite material. The LED light source can be selected to emit a narrow spectral width of pulsed radiation. The radiation emitted can consist essentially of wavelengths within 20 nm of the wavelength of maximum absorbance (λmax) of the target metal oxide, that is, wavelength from UV LED can be λmax±20 nm, to achieve layer-specific annealing and sintering of metal oxide charge transport layer. The target metal oxide can include tin oxide in the electron transport layer or nickel oxide in the hole transport layer. Perovskite-containing films formed from the methods described herein are also disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and structures for forming vertical-cavity light-emitting devices are described. An n-side or bottom-side layer may be laterally etched to form a porous semiconductor region and converted to a porous oxide. The porous oxide can provide a current-blocking and guiding layer that aids in directing bias current through an active area of the light-emitting device. Distributed Bragg reflectors may be fabricated on both sides of the active region to form a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. The light-emitting devices may be formed from III-nitride materials. |

| ABSTRACT | A liquid desiccant system including a high desorber, a low desorber, and an absorber that are in fluid communication with a working solution, where the high desorber provides rejected water vapor from the working fluid for condensation in a condenser of the low desorber that provides heat for rejection of additional water from the working solution in the low desorber effectively multiplying the heat provided for desorption. The low desorber provided the concentrated working solution to the absorber where water from ambient air is condensed into the concentrated working solution to provide a dilute working solution within a working solution conduit of the absorber that is thermally coupled to an internal cooler of the absorber. In some embodiments, the working solution can be an aqueous solution of at least one ionic liquid. |

| ABSTRACT | A catalytic membrane reactor and methods of operating and producing the same are provided that efficiently produces highly pure hydrogen (H2) from ammonia (NH3) as well as operates according to other chemical conversion processes. In one embodiment, a tubular ceramic support made from porous yttria-stabilized zirconia has an outer surface that is impregnated with a metal catalyst such as ruthenium and then plated with a hydrogen permeable membrane such as palladium. An inner surface of the ceramic support is impregnated with cesium to promote conversion of ammonia to hydrogen and nitrogen (N2). The resulting catalytic membrane reactor produces highly pure hydrogen at low temperatures and with less catalytic loading. Therefore, ammonia can be used to effectively transport hydrogen for use in, for example, fuel cells in a vehicle. |

| ABSTRACT | Compact optical devices such as spectrometers are realized with metasurfaces within a dielectric medium confined by reflective surfaces. The metasurfaces control the phase profiles of the reflected electromagnetic waves within the device. In a compact spectrometer, the metasurfaces within the device separate the electromagnetic waves in different wavelengths. The metasurfaces are designed according to their phase profile by varying the size of the array of scatterers. |

| ABSTRACT | Perovskite films are known to be useful in many different technologies, including solar panels and memristors. Most perovskites contain lead which is undesirable for many reasons. It has been found that bismuth can be used in place of lead in preparing perovskite thin films. Additionally, when chemical vapor deposition is used to prepare the films instead of traditional solution phase methods, the films show greatly improved performance in electronic applications. Additionally, the present disclosure is directed to the use of perovskites in memory devices. |

| ABSTRACT | This method calculates snowpack parameters such as: snow water equivalent, snow liquid water content, snow depth and snow density, using Earth orbiting satellites from a GNSS constellation transmitting radio wave frequency carrier signals. An under-snow receiver system and an out-of-snow receiver system are employed are capable of decoding the encoded GNSS data into data products such as a carrier to noise ratios and carrier phases. A computer system receives data products. The Snowpack software programs derive a measured carrier to noise ration reduction from the carrier signals and the carrier to noise ratios. A physical model calculates a modeled excess phase and a modeled carrier noise ratio reduction, calculating measured snowpack parameters, such as: a snow water equivalent, a snow liquid water content, a snow depth, and a snow density, of the at least one snow layer. A non-linear mathematical solver adjusts the plurality of snow parameters. |

| ABSTRACT | A thermionic (TI) power cell includes a heat source, such as a layer of radioactive material that generates heat due to radioactive decay, a layer of electron emitting material disposed on the layer of radioactive material, and a layer of electron collecting material. The layer of electron emitting material is physically separated from the layer of electron collecting material to define a chamber between the layer of electron collecting material and the layer of electron emitting material. The chamber is substantially evacuated to permit electrons to traverse the chamber from the layer of electron emitting material to the layer of electron collecting material. Heat generated over time by the layer of radioactive material causes a substantially constant flow of electrons to be emitted by the layer of electron emitting material to induce an electric current to flow through the layer of electron collecting material when connected to an electrical load. |

| ABSTRACT | This method calculates snowpack parameters such as: snow water equivalent, snow liquid water content, snow depth and snow density, using Earth orbiting satellites from a GNSS constellation transmitting radio wave frequency carrier signals. An under-snow receiver system and an out-of-snow receiver system are employed are capable of decoding the encoded GNSS data into data products such as a carrier to noise ratios and carrier phases. A computer system receives data products. The Snowpack software programs derive a measured carrier to noise ration reduction from the carrier signals and the carrier to noise ratios. A physical model calculates a modeled excess phase and a modeled carrier noise ratio reduction, calculating measured snowpack parameters, such as: a snow water equivalent, a snow liquid water content, a snow depth, and a snow density, of the at least one snow layer. A non-linear mathematical solver adjusts the plurality of snow parameters. |

| ABSTRACT | A novel transmitter is proposed that provides broadband all-optical linearization of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) modulator for use in high linearity RF photonic links and optical up-converter and down-converter schemes. It is based on an amplitude modulated (AM) MZI modulator where part of the laser Carrier is passed around the MZI modulator and added back to the AM signal, creating a Controlled Carrier-AM (CC-AM) signal. In this new scheme, a dual output MZI modulator is utilized, and the alternative output (Carrier*) is used together with the Carrier from the laser to create a new signal, LO*, which when coherently combined with the AM signal can reduce or completely cancel its 3rd order intermodulation distortion. |

| ABSTRACT | Spherical ceramic-glass nanocomposite dielectrics made from ceramics and glasses that are separately pre-milled by mechanical ball milling using selected ball-to-powder weight ratios and combined to form a mixture that is ball milled. A stable liquid suspension of the milled mixture including an added dispersant such as polyacrylic acid to improve uniformity is spray dried through a nozzle and recovered product is annealed. The novel dielectrics have a microstructure where ceramic primary particles are uniformly distributed and fully embedded in a glass matrix. The dielectrics have a mean particle size of about 1-20 um and a sphericity of about 0.8 or higher which are suitable for fabricating multilayer ceramic capacitors for high temperature applications. The novel dielectrics afford decreased sintering temperature, enhanced breakdown strength, lower dielectric lose tangent, and lower costs. Calcium titanate zirconate with manganese-doping-based or barium titanate-based dielectric ceramics and alkali-free borosilicate glass produce superior nanocomposite dielectrics. |

| ABSTRACT | Method and system for detection and quantification of oxidizable organics in water. The method involves the partial electrolytic decomposition of the oxidizable organics in a short time frame, preferably less than five seconds, and does not involve the use of toxic reagents. The system includes an electrochemical sensor probe that, in turn, includes a boron-doped diamond microelectrode array. The system additionally includes an electronic transducer and a computing device. The system utilizes an analysis technique to convert sensor signal to a result that can be correlated with COD or BOD values obtained by standard methods. The method and system are particularly suitable for, but not limited to, use in monitoring of water quality at wastewater treatment plants. By employing the method before and after adding aerobic microorganisms to the sample, the method may be used to distinguish biologically oxidizable organics from total oxidizable organics. |

| ABSTRACT | An optical absorber and method of manufacture is disclosed. A non-woven sheet of randomly-organized horizontally-oriented carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is subjected to a laser rasterizing treatment at ambient temperature and pressure. The upper surface of the sheet is functionalized by oxygen and hydrogen atoms resulting in improved absorbance properties as compared to untreated CNT sheets as well as to commercial state-of-art black paints. Laser treatment conditions may also be altered or modulated to provide surface texturing in addition to functionalization to enhance light trapping and optical absorbance properties. |

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, August 17, 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.
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?
