| ABSTRACT | Optical imaging or spectroscopy described can use laminar optical tomography (LOT), diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), or the like. An incident beam is scanned across a target. An orthogonal or oblique optical response can be obtained, such as concurrently at different distances from the incident beam. The optical response from multiple incident wavelengths can be concurrently obtained by dispersing the response wavelengths in a direction orthogonal to the response distances from the incident beam. Temporal correlation can be measured, from which flow and other parameters can be computed. An optical conduit can enable endoscopic or laparoscopic imaging or spectroscopy of internal target locations. An articulating arm can communicate the light for performing the LOT, DCS, or the like. The imaging can find use for skin cancer diagnosis, such as distinguishing lentigo maligna (LM) from lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM). |

| ABSTRACT | Mebendazole is an antiparasitic drug with over 40 years of safe use. Recently mebendazole was repurposed for glioblastoma therapy. Three polymorphs of mebendazole exist, but the relative polymorph content for existing drugs varies, and the therapeutic anti-cancer relevance of the different polymorphs was unknown. As an oral drug mebendazole polymorph C is a superior form, and it reaches the brain and brain tumors in effective concentrations. Efficacy is further improved by combining mebendazole with a P-glycoprotein inhibitor. Mebendazole may also be used for therapy of other cancers, as well as a chemo-preventative agent. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides chimeric proteins and nucleic acids encoding these which can be used to generate vaccines against selected antigens. In one aspect, a chimeric protein comprises an antigen sequence and a domain for trafficking the protein to an endosomal compartment, irrespective of whether the antigen is derived from a membrane or non-membrane protein. In one preferred aspect, the trafficking domain comprises a lumenal domain of a LAMP polypeptide. Alternatively, or additionally, the chimeric protein comprises a trafficking domain of an endocytic receptor (e.g., such as DEC-205 or gp200-MR6). The vaccines (DNA, RNA or protein) can be used to modulate or enhance an immune response against any kind of antigen. In one preferred aspect, the invention provides a method for treating a patient with cancer by providing a chimeric protein comprising a cancer-specific antigen or a nucleic acid encoding the protein to the patient. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides compositions and methods for delivery of therapeutic agents across an barrier. The compositions include a therapeutic agent (e.g., antimicrobial agent, antibiotic, or anesthetic agent), a permeation enhancer which increases the flux of the therapeutic agent across the barrier, and a matrix forming agent. The matrix forming agent forms a gel at a suitable gelation temperature and rheological properties for use in drug delivery, and in some cases, the gelation temperature and rheological properties are not significantly changed from those of the composition without the permeation enhancer. The invention also provides a matrix forming agent and compositions thereof. Such compositions are particularly useful in the treatment of otitis media. Methods of treatment, methods of delivery, and kits for the compositions described herein are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are surgical suture materials that facilitate the sustained delivery of releasable components. The suture materials are processed by the disclosed methods to create a layer of pores extending inward from the outer surface of the suture. Particularly, the surgical suture materials are swollen in a calcium-ion containing solution, then freeze-dried to create pores which can be filled with a releasable component for ultimate delivery to the tissue. In one particular embodiment, the suture has an outer sheath that defines a lumen. Elongated filaments extend through the lumen. This suture embodiment is processed by the disclosed methods to yield a surgical suture material with a porous outer sheath. The pores enable efficient loading of a releasable component into the lumen, facilitating sustained delivery of the releasable component from the suture. The suture maintains its mechanical integrity despite the introduction of pores due to coordination bonds formed between the calcium ions of the swelling solution and carbonyl oxygen atoms of the polymer chains of the surgical suture material. |

| ABSTRACT | Tissue scaffolds for neural tissue growth have a plurality of microchannels disposed within a sheath. Each microchannel comprises a porous wall having a thickness of ≤about 100 μm that is formed from a biocompatible and biodegradable material comprising a polyester polymer. The polyester polymer may be polycaprolactone, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) polymer, and combinations thereof. The tissue scaffolds have high open volume % enabling superior (linear and high fidelity) neural tissue growth, while minimizing inflammation near the site of implantation in vivo. In other aspects, methods of making such tissue scaffolds are provided. Such a method may include mixing a reduced particle size porogen with a polymeric precursor solution. The material is cast onto a template and then can be processed, including assembly in a sheath and removal of the porogen, to form a tissue scaffold having a plurality of porous microchannels. |

| ABSTRACT | A myopia-inhibiting treatment device produces a therapeutic light that includes components of different wavelengths in a ratio of luminosities that creates a predetermined L-cone to S-cone excitation profile that slows ocular growth, thereby mitigating development of myopia. The components comprise blue light, green light, and red light. Therapeutic light may cause an L-cone to S-cone excitation ratio in a range between 1.38 and 0.05. In some implementations the therapeutic light causes a L-cone to S-cone excitation ratio of 0.74. In some implementations the luminosity of the combined light components is greater than 700 lux. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are antenna-coupled radio frequency (RF) probes with replaceable tips. In the described embodiments, test signals are coupled onto a probe tip wafer via an on-tip antenna, thus the probe tip is decoupled from the probe body. This allows for separate fabrication of the probe body and the probe tip. As such, the probe tip can be made available as a “commodity” and the user can simply replace a worn-out or damaged probe tip, providing significant savings in per-unit cost and operation cost of the new contact probes. The decoupling of probe tip and probe body allows for manual replacement of probe tip without the need for extremely accurate alignment which is typically required in extremely high frequency probes. Manual replacement of the tips is only possible due to the much less stringent alignment requirements afforded by the antenna coupling from the probe body to the probe tip. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of imaging a scene includes estimating multiple three-dimensional (3D) representations, each of which corresponds to a respective portion of the scene. Neighboring portions of the scene area are at least partially overlapping. Each 3D representation is estimated by illuminating the respective portion of the scene with a light burst including multiple light pulses, after which multiple point clouds are generated by detecting photons reflected or scattered from the respective portion of the scene using a focal plane array. Data points in the point clouds represent a distance between the focal plane array and a scene point in the respective portion of the scene. The 3D representation is then estimated based on the multiple point clouds via coincidence processing. The method then generates a 3D image of the scene based on the multiple 3D representations. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of nonblocking optical switching includes guiding a first optical beam from a first input to a first output via a first path through an optical switching fabric. The first path traverses a phase shifter disposed between a pair of cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometers. The method also includes receiving a second optical beam for a second path intersecting with the first path through the optical switching fabric. The method also includes moving the first optical beam from the first path to a third path connecting the first input to the first output without intersecting the second path. The method also includes shifting a phase of the first optical beam, with the phase shifter, while moving the first optical beam from the first path to the third path to prevent the first optical beam from interfering with the second optical beam. |

| ABSTRACT | Enterprise Hypothesis Orchestration provides users an intuitive system for building an inquiry model that thereafter creates and evaluates each of a plurality of hypotheses as it continuously searches for evidence to formulate, score, and resolve each hypothesis. The Enterprise Hypothesis Orchestration system moreover continuously deals with the uncertainty caused by noisy, missing, inaccurate, and/or contradictory data. The present invention uses abductive reasoning to infer the best explanation or hypothesis for a set of observations. Given an inquiry the Hypothesis Orchestration System identifies relevant data from which to form a plurality of hypotheses. It thereafter collects evidence in support of each hypothesis and crafts a degree of confidence that the hypothesis is true. If a hypothesis is found to lack support an analysis of any missing evidence is conducted to identify and seek which evidence would offer the highest benefit to resolving one or more of the plurality of hypotheses. |

| ABSTRACT | Quantum circuits and methods load N=2n classical bits into an entangled quantum output state using a gate depth of order O(n). Loading is accomplished by dividing the 2n input bits into data words and entangling these data words using ancilla qubits. The output of the circuit consists of one data word and one or several index qubits, drawn from the ancilla, to select between the input data words. Entanglement of the data words is performed in a single time slice (i.e. with a gate depth of 1), while the number of sequential gates needed to produce the appropriate pre-entanglement quantum state in the ancilla, and to disentangle the non-output ancilla, has the desired order O(n). Also disclosed is a circuit for disentangling qubits used to store non-output data words during processing. |

| ABSTRACT | Spin qubits are situated in mechanical resonators that are acoustically coupled with acoustic waveguides. The acoustic waveguides provide frequency dependent phonon propagation selected so that mechanical resonators adjacent to a selected mechanical resonator are acoustically coupled to the selected mechanical resonator in different acoustic frequency ranges. This configure permits directional transfer of quantum states between spins in spin-mechanical resonator and provides a scalable platform for spin-based quantum computing. |

| ABSTRACT | A radiation emitting device comprising light scattering particles of different sizes that at least partially surround an emitter, improving the spatial color mixing and color uniformity of the device. Multiple sizes of light scattering particles are dispersed in a medium to at least partially surround a single- or multiple-chip polychromatic emitter package. The different sizes of light scattering particles interact with corresponding wavelength ranges of emitted radiation. Thus, radiation emitted over multiple wavelength ranges or sub-ranges can be efficiently scattered to eliminate (or intentionally create) spatially non-uniform color patterns in the output beam. |

| ABSTRACT | An active reflected wave canceller (ARWC, or RWC) can attached to each phase at the output of a motor drive (i.e., inverter). The reflected wave canceller is generally comprised of a pulse generator and a power inductor. The power inductor is used to by-pass the load current, so it doesn't flow through the pulse generator. The pulse generator injects an accurately controlled nanoseconds narrow-width pulse into the system. The injected narrow pulse breaks the rising and falling edge of the inverter output voltage into two steps, which generates two traveling waves along the cable that cancel each other at the motor terminals. |

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

| ABSTRACT | A device and method monitor integrity of a communication network. A local clock maintains a local time. A network interface receives time synchronization packets and associates with each the local time of receipt at the network interface. A processing system implements a neural network for classifying whether integrity of the communication network is compromised from originate, receive, and transmit values determined from the time synchronization packets. The originate value is a difference between the local time of the receipt of the request packet and a transmission timestamp of the request packet. The receive value is a difference between a reception timestamp of the request packet or the reply packet and the local time of the receipt of the request packet or the reply packet. The transmit value is a difference between the local time of the receipt of the reply packet and a transmission timestamp of the reply packet. |

| ABSTRACT | Processes and catalysts for producing hydrogen by reforming methane are disclosed, which afford considerable flexibility in terms of the quality of the reformer feed. This can be attributed to the robustness of the noble metal-containing catalysts described herein for use in reforming, such that a number of components commonly present in methane-containing process streams can advantageously be maintained without conventional upgrading (pretreating) steps, thereby improving process economics. This also allows for the reforming of impure reformer feeds, even in relatively small quantities, which may be characterized as complex gas mixtures due to significant quantities of non-methane components. A representative reforming catalyst comprises 1 wt-% Pt and 1 wt-% Rh as noble metals, on a cerium oxide support. |

| ABSTRACT | Branched aramid nanofibers (ANFs) can be made by controlled chemical splitting of micro and macroscale aramid fiber by adjusting the reaction media containing aprotic component, protic component and a base. Branched ANFs have uniform size distribution of diameters in the nanoscale regime (below 200 nm) and high yield exceeding 95% of the nanofibers with this diameter. The method affords preparation of branched ANFs with 3-20 branches per one nanofiber and high aspect ratio. Branched ANFs form hydrogel or aerogels with highly porous 3D percolating networks (3DPNs) frameworks that are made into different shapes. Polymers and nanomaterials are impregnated into the 3DPNs through several methods. Gelation of branched ANFs facilitates layer-by-layer deposition in a process described as gelation assisted layer-by-layer deposition (gaLBL). A method of manufacturing battery components including ion conducting membranes, separators, anodes, and cathodes is described. The method of manufacturing of materials with high mechanical performance based on branched ANFs and 3DPNs from them is disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | An imaging system that includes a digital micromirror device (DMD) and a tunable filter, wherein the imagining system applicable for Raman imaging, can fluorescent imaging, phosphorescent imaging, photoluminescent imaging, all of which require excitation of a specimen at a particular wavelength and analyzing the reflected light from the specimen at a wavelength that is different from the excitation wavelength, so called inelastic light scattering—ILS. A reconfigurable DMD-based inverse, spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) system is also described. Beneficially, the DMD system in the excitation path provides a uniform intensity over the sample field of view. It is also configured to prevent sample damage. Placement of a second DMD in the return path of light enables selective rejection of light in space to obtain a reconfigurable inverse SORS system that enables collection of information from different layer depths of the sample using a single detector. |

| ABSTRACT | An embodiment of the invention is a shape memory polymer (SMP) foam designed to recover its original shape through exposure to a solvent. Thermo-responsive SMPs are polymers designed to maintain a programmed secondary shape until heated above their transition temperature, upon which the polymer recovers its original, or primary, shape. The thermo-responsive SMP foam is programmed to its secondary shape prior to use, typically compression of the foam to a small volume, and remains in this programmed shape until exposed to a selected solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide or ethyl alcohol. Upon exposure to the solvent, the transition temperature of the SMP foam decreases below the temperature of the environment and the SMP foam actuates to its primary shape. The SMP foam is tailored to actuate upon exposure to specific solvents while minimizing or preventing actuation when exposed to water or other solvents. This selective solvent actuation can be used to increase working time of a SMP foam device, that is, the time allowed for use of a device without undesired actuation, while maintaining functional SMP actuation. Solvent actuated SMP foams can be used in various applications including, but not limited to, treatment of aneurysms and arterio-venous malformations, tissue engineering, and wound healing. |

| ABSTRACT | Processes and catalysts for producing hydrogen by reforming methane are disclosed, which afford considerable flexibility in terms of the quality of the reformer feed. This can be attributed to the robustness of the noble metal-containing catalysts described herein for use in reforming, such that a number of components commonly present in methane-containing process streams can advantageously be maintained without conventional upgrading (pretreating) steps, thereby improving process economics. This also allows for the reforming of impure reformer feeds, even in relatively small quantities, which may be characterized as complex gas mixtures due to significant quantities of non-methane components. A representative reforming catalyst comprises 1 wt-% Pt and 1 wt-% Rh as noble metals, on a cerium oxide support. |

An embodiment relates to interrogating a metallic structure having a uniform cross section using an antenna which launches electromagnetic radiation. A sensor may be located within the structure is configured to re-emit electromagnetic radiation modified depending on parameters for which the sensor has been functionalized. An antenna may receive radiation as modified by the sensor, or may receive the transmitted or backscattered radiation directly, without use of a sensor. The antenna then communicates wirelessly with an interrogator providing data which may be used to understand the operational status of the structure in real-time. |

| ABSTRACT | A method may be executed by a base station or mobile device to improve accuracy of a global positioning system (GPS)-based position or “geoposition” of the mobile device. A time-stamped first set of GPS data may be received via a GPS receiver, e.g., of the base station. A second set of GPS data describing a geoposition of the mobile device is received from the mobile device by the base station. A time of collection of the base station and mobile device GPS data coincides. The GPS data includes code phase and pseudo-range data from each of the GPS satellites, and may include carrier phase data. A predetermined GPS position correction technique is used to generate a corrected geoposition of the mobile device using the GPS data. The corrected geoposition is then transmitted to the mobile device and/or an external response system such as a drone or first responder. |

| ABSTRACT | Tissue scaffolds for neural tissue growth have a plurality of microchannels disposed within a sheath. Each microchannel comprises a porous wall having a thickness of ≤about 100 μm that is formed from a biocompatible and biodegradable material comprising a polyester polymer. The polyester polymer may be polycaprolactone, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) polymer, and combinations thereof. The tissue scaffolds have high open volume % enabling superior (linear and high fidelity) neural tissue growth, while minimizing inflammation near the site of implantation in vivo. In other aspects, methods of making such tissue scaffolds are provided. Such a method may include mixing a reduced particle size porogen with a polymeric precursor solution. The material is cast onto a template and then can be processed, including assembly in a sheath and removal of the porogen, to form a tissue scaffold having a plurality of porous microchannels. |

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, September 07, 2021.
The FedInvent Weekly Patent Details Page contains a subset of patent information to provide a deeper dive into the week’s taxpayer-funded patents to help the reader better understand where a patent fits in the federal innovation ecosphere.
HOW IS THE INFORMATION ORGANIZED?
Patents are organized by the funding agency. Within each group, the patents are organized in numeric order. A patent funded by more than one agency will appear in the section of each of the agencies that funded the research and development that resulted in the invention. This approach gives the reader a complete view of the department or agency activity for the week.
WHAT INFORMATION WILL I FIND?
THE PANEL
There is a panel for each patent that contains the patent number and the title of the patent. When you click the panel, it opens to reveal the following information:
FUNDED BY
The agencies that funded the grants, contracts, or other research agreements that resulted in the patent. FedInvent includes as much information on the source of the funding as possible. The information is presented in a hierarchy going from the Federal Department down to the agencies, subagencies, and offices that funded the work. Here are two examples:
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
Department of Defense (DOD)
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
Army Research Office (ARO)
We do our best to provide detailed information about the funding. In some cases, the patent only reports limited information on the origins of the funding. FedInvents presents what it can confirm. We add the patents without the information required by the Bayh-Dole Act to our list of patents worthy of further investigation.
APPLICANT(S) and ASSIGNEES
FedInvent includes both the Applicants and the Assignees because having both provides more information about where the inventive work was done and by what organizations. Many organizations — universities, corporations, and federal agencies — standardize the Assignee/Owner information by the time a patent is granted. In the case of federal patents, many of the patents use the agency headquarters information for patent assignment.
Showing just the headquarters address would make Washington, DC the epicenter of all taxpayer-funded research and development. Providing both the applicant information and the assignee information provides a more accurate picture of where important taxpayer funded innovation is happening in America. Here are two examples from two different patents:
APPLICANT: U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD
ASSIGNEE: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army Washington, DC
APPLICANT: Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)
ASSIGNEE(S): The Regents of the University of California (Oakland, California); Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)
INVENTOR(S)
The inventors appear in the same order as they appear on the patent. FedInvents presents the names in first name/last name order because they are easier to read than the last name/first name order of the names on the USPTO patent documents.
ABSTRACT
The abstract 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:
