| ABSTRACT | MicroRNAs embedded within an intron, which are called ‘mirtrons,’ can be used as a platform for expressing one or more shRNA or miRNA mimics in a lentiviral vector. The inventors developed a strategy to improve lentiviral titering by reducing the production of shRNA/miRNA from the vector during packaging through the introduction of splice-inhibiting antisense oligonucleotides during vector packaging, which inhibit the splicing of the mirtron and subsequent processing of the shRNAs/miRNAs. In an aspect is provided a kit comprising an oligonucleotide comprising a mirtron splice site binding sequence and a lentiviral packaging system. In an aspect is provided a method for producing a lentivirus. The method comprises the step of transfecting a cell with an oligonucleotide comprising a mirtron splice site binding sequence and a lentiviral packaging system; thereby producing the lentivirus. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure describes the thermodynamic design and concentrations necessary to design probe compositions with desired optimal specificity that enable enrichment, detection, quantitation, purification, imaging, and amplification of rare-allele-bearing species of nucleic acids (prevalence <1%) in a large stoichiometric excess of a dominant-allele-bearing species (wildtype). Being an enzyme-free and homogeneous nucleic acid enrichment composition, this technology is broadly compatible with nearly all nucleic acid-based biotechnology, including plate reader and fluorimeter readout of nucleic acids, microarrays, PCR and other enzymatic amplification reactions, fluorescence barcoding, nanoparticle-based purification and quantitation, and in situ hybridization imaging technologies. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided are methods for analyzing properties of a target portion of a polynucleotide using a nanopore. Also provided are methods for nanopore-based analysis of a polynucleotide, the methods comprising modifying a polynucleotide to comprise an enzyme binding site, an enzyme activity blocking structure, and an enzyme displacement region. Such methods further comprise the use of an enzyme that translocates the polynucleotide through a nanopore against a voltage force when the enzyme activity blocking structure is removed. The enzyme blocking structure is reconstituted by movement of the enzyme. Also provided are methods for providing a polynucleotide comprising an abasic region, a region to be analyzed, a GQ fold, and an enzyme binding site, where such methods further comprise removing one enzyme molecule at the abasic region and allowing another enzyme molecule to bind at the enzyme binding site. |

| ABSTRACT | Due to potential sampling errors (due to small tissue samples not necessarily directly from the developing tumor) and limited optical resolution (˜1 micron), cancer may be missed or detected too late for optimal treatment, or conservative interpretation of indeterminate findings could lead to unnecessary surgery. The novel technology herein—Spatial-domain Low-coherence Quantitative Phase Microscopy (SL-QPM)—can detect structural alterations within cell nuclei with nanoscale sensitivity (0.9 nm) (or nuclear nano-morphology) for “nano-pathological diagnosis” of cancer. SL-QPM uses original, unmodified cytology and histology specimens prepared with standard clinical protocols and stains. SL-QPM can easily integrate in existing clinical pathology laboratories. Results quantified the spatial distribution of optical path length or refractive index in individual nuclei with nanoscale sensitivity, which could be applied to studying nuclear nano-morphology as cancer progresses. The nuclear nano-morphology derived from SL-QPM offers significant diagnostic value in clinical care and subcellular mechanistic insights for basic and translational research. |

| ABSTRACT | An inventive method is provided for synthesizing an intermetallic compound. According to exemplary inventive practice, two metallic elements are weighed out in quantities corresponding to their molecular weights in an intermetallic compound of interest. The two metallic elements are mixed together to produce a metallic mixture in powder form. According to many inventive embodiments, a ball-mill device is implemented to thoroughly or intimately mix the two metallic elements into a fine powder. The powdered metallic mixture is exothermically reacted to produce an at least substantially pure intermetallic compound in powder form. According to many inventive embodiments, the exothermic reaction is brought about in a vacuous or inert-gaseous (e.g., helium) environment through electrification of a tungsten wire filament that is completely embedded in the powdered metallic mixture. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for manufacturing nano-sized insensitive high explosive molding powder usable as a booster HE is provided herein. The method preferably involving the steps of dissolving a binder in a liquid and suspending crystalline high explosive to said liquid, grinding that suspension in a bead mill until the crystalline high explosive is nano-sized, and precipitating the binder and crystalline high explosive using a spray dryer to produce granules containing nano-sized crystalline high explosive. The liquid may be water or an organic solvent so long as the binder is highly soluble in the liquid and the crystalline high explosive is generally insoluble in the liquid. A fatty alcohol, water defoaming/dispersant/surfactant agent can be added to the dissolved binder/suspended crystalline high explosive, to aid in the manufacturability. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure relates to a method for forming aryl carbon-nitrogen bonds and to photoreactors useful in these and other light-driven reactions. The method comprises contacting an aryl halide, such as 4-bromobenzotrifluoride, with an amine, such as morpholine, in the presence of a Ni salt catalyst solution and an optional base, thereby forming a reaction mixture; exposing the reaction mixture to light under reaction condition sufficient to produce the aryl carbon-nitrogen bonds, e.g., to give a product such as 4-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)morpholine. In certain embodiments, the amine may be present in a molar excess to the aryl halide. In certain embodiments, the Ni salt catalyst solution includes a Ni(II) salt and a polar solvent, wherein the Ni(II) salt is dissolved in the polar solvent. In certain embodiments, the reactions conditions include holding the reaction mixture at between about room temperature and about 80° C. for between about 1 hour and about 20 hours such that at least about 50% yield is obtained. |

| ABSTRACT | A self-glowing solid material comprises a man-made metal mixture containing at least one rare earth metal and an oxide of iron. The material is inducible by flame initiation to self-glow with yellow-to-red colors (577-to-700 nanometer wavelengths). A stealth tracer ammunition comprises a projectile body having a tip and a base, and a solid pellet disposed in the base. The pellet may be made from the above-mentioned self-glowing solid material or another suitable material. The pellet becomes incandescent as a result of being heated when the ammunition is fired. The incandescent pellet emits a glow observable only from behind when the ammunition travels downrange after being fired. An illuminant comprises a bimodal blend of a man-made metal mixture containing at least one rare earth metal and an oxide of iron. The bimodal blend is a blend of smaller-sized fragments and larger-sized pellets. The illuminant is capable of ignition and dispersion in response to ballistic energy to create illumination. An illumination device comprises a body having an interior cavity, the body configured to be launched as a projectile or configured to contain projectiles. An illuminant is disposed in the cavity, the illuminant comprising a bimodal blend of a suitable illuminant material. The illuminant is capable of ignition and dispersion in response to ballistic energy to create illumination. |

| ABSTRACT | A freestanding coating membrane is fabricated and is tested for ionic transport. An adhesive liner is situated on a flat surface, paint is poured on the liner, a leveling blade is used to impart a uniform thickness to the uncured paint, the paint when completely cured is peeled from the liner, and the thickness of the resultant freestanding membrane is measured. Saline water is placed in an open-ended reservoir in communication with an assembly holding the freestanding membrane and containing deionized water. A pump causes water to circulate through the assembly via a conduit, which is connected at both ends to the assembly. The electrical conductivity of the circulating water is monitored for an appropriate duration for indication of salt concentration. The conductivity is initially low because the circulating water is originally deionized, and gradually increases commensurately with the amount of salt (e.g., chloride) ions passing through the membrane. |

| ABSTRACT | Photonic devices, systems, and methods for detecting an analyte in a biological solution (e.g., whole blood) are provided. Representative photonic devices are optical ring resonators having nanoscale features and micron-sized diameters. Due to the compact size of these devices, many resonators can be disposed on a single substrate and tested simultaneously as a sample is passed over the devices. Typical analytes include blood cells, antibodies, and pathogens, as well as compounds indicative of the presence of blood cells or pathogens (e.g., serology). In certain embodiments, blood type can be determined through photonic sensing using a combination of direct detection of blood cells and serology. By combining the detection signals of multiple devices, the type of blood can be determined. |

| ABSTRACT | A waveguide-coupled Silicon Germanium (SiGe) photodetector. A p-n silicon junction is formed in a silicon substrate by an n-doped silicon region and a p-doped silicon region, a polysilicon rib is formed on the silicon substrate to provide a waveguide core for an optical mode of radiation, and an SiGe pocket is formed in the silicon substrate along a length of the polysilicon rib and contiguous with the p-n silicon junction. An optical mode of radiation, when present, substantially overlaps with the SiGe pocket so as to generate photocarriers in the SiGe pocket. An electric field arising from the p-n silicon junction significantly facilitates a flow of the generated photocarriers through the SiGe pocket. In one example, such photodetectors have been fabricated using a standard CMOS semiconductor process technology without requiring changes to the process flow (i.e., “zero-change CMOS”). |

| ABSTRACT | The invention relates to a host material for stabilizing a Li metal electrode, fabricating methods and applications of the same. The host material includes crumpled graphene balls operably defining a scaffold having volumes and voids inside and in between the crumpled graphene balls so as to allow uniform and stable Li deposition/dissolution inside and in between the crumpled graphene balls without electrode volume fluctuations or with sufficiently small electrode volume fluctuations. The crumpled paper ball-like structures of graphene particles can readily assemble to yield the scaffold with scalable Li loading up to 10 mAh cm-2 within tolerable volume fluctuations. High Coulombic efficiency of 97.5% over 750 cycles (1500 hours) is achieved. Plating/stripping Li up to 12 mAh cm-2 on the crumpled graphene scaffold does not experience dendrite growth. |

| ABSTRACT | Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) limits the maximum power in fiber lasers with narrow linewidths. SBS occurs when the power exceeds a threshold proportional to the beam area divided by the effective fiber length. The fiber lasers disclosed here operate with higher SBS power thresholds (and hence higher maximum powers at kilohertz-class linewidths) than other fiber lasers thanks to several techniques. These techniques include using high-absorption gain fibers, operating the laser with low pump absorption (e.g., ≤80%), reducing the length of un-pumped gain fiber at the fiber output, foregoing a delivery fiber at the output, foregoing a cladding light stripper at the output, using free-space dichroic mirrors to separate signal light from unabsorbed pump light, and using cascaded gain fibers with non-overlapping Stokes shifts. The upstream gain fiber has high absorption and a larger diameter for high gain, and subsequent gain fiber has a smaller diameter to improve beam quality. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments of the invention provide a laparoscopic morcellating device and method for removing tissue from a body cavity. The morcellating device includes a containment mechanism having an aperture, a cutting mechanism designed to fit into an interior space of the containment mechanism and a retractor mechanism that is coupled to the cutting mechanism. The containment mechanism and cutting mechanism combination surrounds the tissue and the aperture of the containment mechanism is closed around the tissue. The morcellating device further includes a motor for actuating the retractor such that the cutting mechanism constricts and morcellates the tissue. The laparoscopic morcellating device further allows for torque balancing of the retractor mechanism, gas flow regulation of the body cavity, and safety feedback mechanisms that can alert the surgeon. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods described herein provide a way to reduce or eliminate drag and adhesion of a substance flowing over a surface by creating a vapor cushion via evaporation of a phase-changing material of or on the surface or encapsulated within textures of the surface. The vapor cushion causes the flowing substance to be suspended over the surface, greatly reducing friction, drag, and adhesion between the flowing substance and the surface. The temperature of the flowing substance is above the sublimation point and/or melting point of the phase-changing material. The phase-changing material undergoes a phase change (evaporation or sublimation) upon contact with the flowing substance due to local heat transfer from the flowing substance to the material, generating a vapor cushion between the solid or liquid material and the flowing substance. |

| ABSTRACT | In one aspect, a method of sorting cells in a flow cytometry system is disclosed, which includes illuminating a cell with radiation having at least two optical frequencies shifted from one another by a radiofrequency to elicit fluorescent radiation from the cell, detecting the fluorescent radiation to generate temporal fluorescence data, and processing the temporal fluorescence data to arrive at a sorting decision regarding the cell without generating an image (i.e., a pixel-by-pixel image) of the cell based on the fluorescence data. In some cases, the sorting decision can be made with a latency less than about 100 microseconds. In some embodiments, the above method of sorting cells can have a sub-cellular resolution. In some embodiments, a single radiofrequency shift is employed to separate the optical frequencies while in other such embodiments a plurality of different radiofrequency shifts are employed. |

| ABSTRACT | Photonic devices, systems, and methods for detecting an analyte in a biological solution (e.g., whole blood) are provided. Representative photonic devices are optical ring resonators having nanoscale features and micron-sized diameters. Due to the compact size of these devices, many resonators can be disposed on a single substrate and tested simultaneously as a sample is passed over the devices. Typical analytes include blood cells, antibodies, and pathogens, as well as compounds indicative of the presence of blood cells or pathogens (e.g., serology). In certain embodiments, blood type can be determined through photonic sensing using a combination of direct detection of blood cells and serology. By combining the detection signals of multiple devices, the type of blood can be determined. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method are provided for detecting and estimating time synchronization attacks (TSAs) on Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The system and method can be implemented to address gaps in the known or proposed TSA detection solutions. In particular, the system and method can be implemented to provide a TSA countermeasure solution that: 1) provides a comprehensive countermeasure against different types of TSAs; 2) allows the GPS receiver to continue its normal operation, which is especially beneficial in Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) applications where the network's normal operation cannot be interrupted; in other words, the solution not only detects TSAs, but also mitigates their effects so that the network can continue its normal operation; and 3) is relatively simple and capable of being integrated with current GPS receivers without having to alter the circuitry of the GSP receivers. |

| ABSTRACT | Based on graphene heterostructure in chip-scale silicon nitride microresonators, optoelectronic control and modulation in frequency combs via group velocity dispersion modulation can be demonstrated. By tuning graphene Fermi level from 0.50 eV to 0.65 eV via electric-field gating, deterministic in-cavity group velocity dispersion control from anomalous (−62 fs2/mm) to normal (+9 fs2/mm) can be achieved with Q factor remaining high at 106. Consequently, both the primary comb lines and the full comb spectra can be controllable dynamically with the on/off switching of the Cherenkov radiation, the tuning of the primary comb lines from 2.3 THz to 7.2 THz, and the comb span control from zero comb lines to ˜781 phase-locked comb lines, directly via the DC voltage. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for remote tactile telepresence wherein an array of predefined touch gestures are abstracted into cataloged values and invoked either by pattern matching, by assigned name or visual indicia. A local and remote cache of the catalog reduces latency even for complicated gestures as only a gesture identifier needs to be transmitted to a haptic output destination. Additional embodiments translate gestures to different haptic device affordances. Tactile telepresence sessions are time-coded along with audiovisual content wherein playback is heard, seen, and felt. Another embodiment associates motion capture associated with the tactile profile so that remote, haptic recipients may see renderings of objects (e.g., hands) imparting vibrotactile sensations. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments herein implement quantum annealing with a driver Hamiltonian that uses oscillating fields to advantageously obtain a quantum speedup over classical computing techniques. For a many-body quantum system formed with qubits, the oscillating fields drive the qubits so as to independently modulate the magnitudes and/or directions of transverse terms of the driver Hamiltonian. In particular, embodiments provide a quantum speedup for two types of first-order phase transitions: the paramagnet-to-spin-glass transition, and transitions between distinct “bit string” states. The resulting speedup is robust against energy fluctuations (e.g., 1/f noise), in contrast to other strategies like variable-rate annealing. Each oscillating field may be an oscillating electric field or magnetic field. The oscillating fields can be implemented with superconducting flux qubits by coupling oscillating fluxes and/or voltages to the flux qubits. |

| ABSTRACT | Fidelity-driven runtime thermal management for near-sensor architectures is provided. In this regard, a runtime controller is provided for controlling an operational mode of a vision or imaging system driven by fidelity demands. The runtime controller is responsible for guaranteeing the fidelity demands of a vision application and coordinating state transfer between operating modes to ensure a smooth transition. Under this approach, the vision application only needs to provide the runtime controller with high-level vision/imaging fidelity demands and when to trigger them. The runtime controller translates these demands into effective thermal management. To do this, the runtime controller applies application-specific requirements into appropriate policy parameters and activates temperature reduction mechanisms, such as clock gating and task offload. Furthermore, the runtime controller continuously adapts the policy parameters to situational settings, such as ambient temperature and ambient lighting, to meet ongoing fidelity demands. |

| ABSTRACT | Computational methods are used to create cardiovascular simulations having desired hemodynamic features. Cardiovascular modeling methods produce descriptions of blood flow and pressure in the heart and vascular networks. Numerical methods optimize and solve nonlinear equations to find parameter values that result in desired hemodynamic characteristics including related flow and pressure at various locations in the cardiovascular system, movements of soft tissues, and changes for different physiological states. The modeling methods employ simplified models to approximate the behavior of more complex models with the goal of to reducing computational expense. The user describes the desired features of the final cardiovascular simulation and provides minimal input, and the system automates the search for the final patient-specific cardiovascular model. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of producing uranium halides is disclosed in which chlorine gas is introduced into a liquid uranium-nickel alloy. NaCl salt is surrounding the crucible containing the liquid uranium-nickel alloy, producing a eutectic mixture of NaCl—UCl3. Upon chlorination, the metal halide dissolves in the matrix salt forming a solution. Adding the reactant metal, uranium to the nickel, the alloy is able to remain molten throughout processing. The liquid metal alloy may be removed from the salt bath, while the halogen gas continues to enter the system through the sparge until the desired composition of NaCl—UCl3—UCl4 is achieved. The method and system can be used to produce other metal halide salts such as actinide, lanthanide or transition metal halides contained in a matrix salt consisting of alkali and/or alkaline earth halides. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for amplifying and detecting microorganisms, such as species of Listeria, is described. The method utilizes gene-matched enrichment media and PCR-based detection. The enrichment media is spent media produced using a modified microorganism containing a plurality of mutations in a selected gene such that the modified microorganism does not contain the PCR signature. Thus, PCR detects only the amplified microorganism of interest, not the modified microorganism. Exemplary methods and kits for amplification and detection of Listeria species are described. |

| ABSTRACT | A self-glowing solid material comprises a man-made metal mixture containing at least one rare earth metal and an oxide of iron. The material is inducible by flame initiation to self-glow with yellow-to-red colors (577-to-700 nanometer wavelengths). A stealth tracer ammunition comprises a projectile body having a tip and a base, and a solid pellet disposed in the base. The pellet may be made from the above-mentioned self-glowing solid material or another suitable material. The pellet becomes incandescent as a result of being heated when the ammunition is fired. The incandescent pellet emits a glow observable only from behind when the ammunition travels downrange after being fired. An illuminant comprises a bimodal blend of a man-made metal mixture containing at least one rare earth metal and an oxide of iron. The bimodal blend is a blend of smaller-sized fragments and larger-sized pellets. The illuminant is capable of ignition and dispersion in response to ballistic energy to create illumination. An illumination device comprises a body having an interior cavity, the body configured to be launched as a projectile or configured to contain projectiles. An illuminant is disposed in the cavity, the illuminant comprising a bimodal blend of a suitable illuminant material. The illuminant is capable of ignition and dispersion in response to ballistic energy to create illumination. |

| ABSTRACT | Measurement apparatuses and methods are disclosed for generating high-precision and -accuracy gas concentration maps that can be overlaid with 3D topographic images by rapidly scanning one or several modulated laser beams with a spatially-encoded transmitter over a scene to build-up imagery. Independent measurements of the topographic target distance and path-integrated gas concentration are combined to yield a map of the path-averaged concentration between the sensor and each point in the image. This type of image is particularly useful for finding localized regions of elevated (or anomalous) gas concentration making it ideal for large-area leak detection and quantification applications including: oil and gas pipeline monitoring, chemical processing facility monitoring, and environmental monitoring. |

| ABSTRACT | High-sensitivity multi-channel atomic magnetometers are described. Methods for operating multi-channel atomic magnetometers are also described. Moreover, devices incorporating a plurality of multi-channel atomic magnetometers are described. A multi-channel atomic magnetometer may use the spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) technique. A multi-channel atomic magnetometer may achieve multi-channel operation in a single module, reducing the cost of sensors. A multi-channel atomic magnetometer may be a 16-channel atomic magnetometer. A multi-channel atomic magnetometer may include a single large vapor cell including alkali-metal atoms and at least one buffer gas that restricts motion of atomic spins of the alkali-metal atoms, thereby making relatively small internal cell volumes act as a multiple independent local sensing channels. A multi-channel atomic magnetometer may include a broad pump beam that simultaneously polarizes all (or substantially all) of the alkali-metal atoms in each internal sensing volume of the vapor cell, and a broad probe beam that simultaneously measures magnetic fields at multiple sensing volumes with a photodiode array. |

| ABSTRACT | Compounds (salts) for use as electrolytes, e.g. in batteries such as Li ion, Na ion and Mg ion batteries are provided. The negative ions (anions) of the compounds are complex molecules containing superhalogens, and thus exhibit improved safety, and yet have electron affinities that are equal to or greater than those of halogens. In addition, the binding energy between Li+ and the anions is relatively small so ions can move easily from one electrode to the other in solutions in which the compounds are dissolved. A further advantage is that the affinity of the electrolyte for water is also relatively low so that batteries in which the electrolytes are used have longer lives than those of the prior art. |

| ABSTRACT | A self-contained satellite-navigation-based (SatNav-based) method and micro system is disclosed, wherein SatNav-derived (e.g., GPS-derived) position and velocity measurements are obtained and processed to achieve a low cost, micro size, real-time solution for the position and velocity of the carrier relative to a vertical and/or horizontal plane of previously measured location and heading, and for the slant range from a fixed position located on said vertical or horizontal plane. The method includes two parts: 1) a method for defining both the spatial orientation of the vertical and/or horizontal plane of interest, along with a selected fixed position of interest on one of those planes, and 2) a method for obtaining the real-time relative position and velocity of the carrier relative to the plane(s) of interest, and its position relative to the fixed position of interest. This system and method thus provides the necessary information onboard the carrier to navigate relative to said vertical and/or horizontal plane, and relative to the said fixed position of interest on one of those planes. Therefore, this system and method should be especially useful for use on uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones, but may also be used on manned aircraft. |

| ABSTRACT | Solid oxide fuel cells that include an alumina substrate as support are described. The alumina substrate supported SOFCs can exhibit desirable electrochemical characteristics including high performance at intermediate temperatures and excellent thermal stability. The alumina substrate support is formed according to a modified phase-inversion process that forms a series of aligned micro-channels extending from a first side to a second opposite side of the support enabling gas distribution between an electrode (e.g., an anode) located on one side of the alumina substrate and the other, opposite side of the alumina substrate. |

| ABSTRACT | An explosive threat mitigation unit (TMU) stands ready to receive a suspected bomb, enclose it, and contain the explosion if one occurs. An operator protects bystanders and surroundings by putting the suspected bomb in a TMU and then closing the TMU. If the bomb goes off, the TMU mitigates the effects of both the blast and the fragments. One variation has a container, a tube, a cap, and a door. The container includes an opening. The tube, arranged in the container, aligns with the opening. The cap slides through the opening and over the tube. The door slides into place to close the opening and enclose the cap within the container. |

| ABSTRACT | Summarization of an input story can be accomplished through identification of causal relationships, both explicit and implicit. The input story is transformed into an interpretation sequence, using syntactic cues, and common sense knowledge of an average reader. The interpretation sequence is a time ordered semantic representation of the input story, comprised of story elements. The common sense knowledge includes inference rules, which, from story elements already present, can add additional story elements to the interpretation sequence. Application of inference rules, based on type, can be prioritized. Summarization of the interpretation sequence can be accomplished by the selection of explicit story elements, according to a connection-based strategy, or a concept-based strategy. Regarding a concept-based strategy, metrics can be applied, to select the concepts for contra-causal searching of the interpretation sequence. Options can be provided, for the exclusion of means, or the inclusion of implicit, story elements in the output summary. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for automatically optimizing pairs of stereo images are presented. Pixels in an image pair are reprojected from their raw format to a common pixel-space coordinate system. The image pair is masked to remove pixels that do not appear in both images. Each image undergoes a local enhancement process. The local enhancements are processed into a global enhancement for each image of the image pair. A factor is calculated to balance the left and right images with each other. A brightness factor for the image pair is calculated. The enhancements, including the balancing and brightness factors, are then mapped to their respective images. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention is a Demodulator for an Optical Analog Pulse Position Modulated signal suitable for inclusion in receivers for Free Space Optical communication systems. In one embodiment the Demodulator may use the pulse position modulated optical information signal and the clock signal with different wavelengths. By proper biasing of a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier and selection of wavelengths for the information signal and the clock signal, the performance of the Demodulator is made insensitive to noise in the received signals. |

| ABSTRACT | A capacitively-driven tunable coupler includes a coupling capacitor connecting an open end of a quantum object (i.e., an end of the object that cannot have a DC path to a low-voltage rail, such as a ground node, without breaking the functionality of the object) to an RF SQUID having a Josephson element capable of providing variable inductance and therefore variable coupling to another quantum object. |

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, August 31, 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?
You can use the Command F or Control F to find a specific patent you are interested in.
HOW DO I GET HERE?
You navigate to the details of a patent by clicking the information icon that follows a patent on the FedInvent Patents Weekly Report.
You can also reach this page using the weekly page link that looks like this:
https://wayfinder.digital/fedinvent/patents-2021/details-patents-20210427.html
Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
