| ABSTRACT | A method for extinguishing a cardiac arrhythmia utilizes destructive interference of the passing of the reentry wave tip of an anatomical reentry through a depolarized region created by a relatively low voltage electric field in such a way as to effectively unpin the anatomical reentry. Preferably, the relatively low voltage electric field is defined by at least one unpinning shock(s) that are lower than an expected lower limit of vulnerability as established, for example, by a defibrillation threshold test. By understanding the physics of the electric field distribution between cardiac cells, the method permits the delivery of an electric field sufficient to unpin the core of the anatomical reentry, whether the precise or estimated location of the reentry is known or unknown and without the risk of inducting ventricular fibrillation. A number of embodiments for performing the method are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | Currently available glutaminase inhibitors are generally poorly soluble, metabolically unstable, and/or require high doses, which together reduce their efficacy and therapeutic index. These can be formulated into nanoparticles and delivered safely and effectively for treatment of pancreatic cancer and other glutamine addicted cancers. Studies demonstrate that nanoparticle delivery of BPTES, relative to use of BPTES alone, can be safely administered and provides dramatically improved tumor drug exposure, resulting in greater efficacy. GLS inhibitors can be administered in higher concentrations with sub-100 nm nanoparticles, since the nanoparticles package the drug into “soluble” colloidal nanoparticles, and the nanoparticles deliver higher drug exposure selectively to the tumors due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. These factors result in sustained drug levels above the IC50 within the tumors for days, providing significantly enhanced efficacy compared to unencapsulated drug. |

| ABSTRACT | The modification of biomolecules, small molecules, and other agents of via conjugation of excipients, tags, or labels is of great importance. For example, the modification of therapeutic agents can confer improved stability, solubility, duration of action, or pharmacological properties. Supramolecular chemistry utilizes specific, directional, reversible, non-covalent molecular recognition motifs in order to achieve organization of molecules, and can be used to complex tags to agents of interest (e.g., insulin, glucagon, antibodies). The present invention provides useful supramolecular complexes wherein an agent of interest is specifically bound to a host via non-covalent interactions, and wherein the host is conjugated to a tag. The present invention also provides methods and compounds useful in preparing supramolecular complexes, and methods of treating diseases using the supramolecular complexes. |

| ABSTRACT | The tetracycline class of antibiotics has played a major role in the treatment of infectious diseases for the past 50 years. However, the increased use of the tetracyclines in human and veterinary medicine has led to resistance among many organisms previously susceptible to tetracycline antibiotics. The modular synthesis of tetracyclines and tetracycline analogs described provides an efficient and enantioselective route to a variety of tetracycline analogs and polycyclines previously inaccessible via earlier tetracycline syntheses and semi-synthetic methods. These analogs may be used as anti-microbial agents or anti-proliferative agents in the treatment of diseases of humans or other animals. |

The data about the genomic region may be or include data identifying a chromatin state for the genomic region. A chromatin state may be one of a set of chromatin states that each define a different set of one or more chromatin characteristics. Chromatin characteristics may be structural and/or functional features of genomic regions. A chromatin state of a genomic region may be determined from, and describe, the genomic region such that when a genomic region has a set of one or more chromatin characteristics, a chromatin state associated with that combination of one or more chromatin characteristics is identified for the genomic region. |

| ABSTRACT | A substrate for 3D printing using a cold spray technique. The substrate of the present invention has a porous surface with the size of pores smaller than approximately 24.4 times the mean particle size of feedstock powders for cold spray processing and larger than or equal to approximately 6.84 times the mean particle size. Due to no adhesion of a 3D-printed part to the porous regions of the substrate, the parts fabricated by cold spray can be easily removed from the porous substrate without cutting. |

| ABSTRACT | A minimally invasive method for attaching to a surface is provided. The method utilizes an attachment apparatus for non-penetrating mechanical attachment of components to a target surface. The apparatus includes a cartridge assembly and mounting assembly. Actuation of the cartridge assembly causes first and second exothermic reactants located between outer casing and the inner casing to come into contact and cause an exothermic reaction. This reaction liquefies a bonding material between the cartridge assembly and mounting assembly, allowing it to flow around the mounting assembly and onto a target surface creating a seal. Vacuum pressure will bind the mounting assembly to a target surface. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally relates to a method for creating a chemically structured surface with structural elements as small as 1 nm, on a material that does not itself display a high degree of ordering, using thin molecular layers that minimize the material added through the coating. In particular, the present invention discloses a method for assembling a chemical pattern on a surface, comprising pattern elements with scales that can be as small as 1 nm, and then transferring that pattern to another substrate, on which the pattern would not form natively. In the described method, the patterned monolayer is comprised of polymerizable amphiphiles such as diyne phospholipids or diynoic acids, which are transferred from the ordering substrate using a transferring material such as poly(dimethylsiloxane). |

| ABSTRACT | A dual bidirectional input to single bidirectional output transmission (or gear box) comprising of unique gear ratios between each of the bidirectional inputs and the single, or common, bidirectional output is disclosed. The gear box has a gear train design with two bidirectional inputs and one (or common) bidirectional output. The device is configured to enable torque to be transmitted through either one or both of the bidirectional inputs to the bidirectional output. The gear train may be a constant mesh system which eliminates sliding splines, dog clutches or synchronizers to switch between operational modes. A locking feature/component/element allows the power or torque to be transmitted from a first bidirectional input to the common bidirectional output using a second bidirectional input as a fixed rotation reference. Similarly power or torque from the second bidirectional input to the common bidirectional output may use the first bidirectional input as a fixed rotation reference. The disclosure may also include a planetary gear set load combiner to cause both bidirectional inputs to transmit torque or power to the common output simultaneously. Additionally, the locking feature/component/element enables the transfer of torque from either inputs independently without back driving the other input. |

| ABSTRACT | A single-point munition arming interface provides a more efficient approach to arming a canister-based munition. The single-point munition arming interface interfaces with electrically-initiated canister-based munitions. The arming interface locks and arms munitions in a baseplate system before initiation. The single-point munition arming interface includes a feature for removing the first safety in the munitions safe and arm device which is actuated upon insertion of the munition into the interface. The second step in the procedure is a user action which simultaneously locks the munition to the interface and completes the arming sequence by using a single mechanism to achieve both essential motions. The arming interface can be mechanically or electrically actuated allowing for remote activation which increases operator safety. |

| ABSTRACT | The embodiments are directed to methods of initiating insensitive explosive formulations. The disclosed methods include positioning a donor explosive pellet adjacent to an insensitive acceptor explosive pellet having a plurality of relative percent theoretical maximum density (TMD) zones. The insensitive acceptor explosive pellet is adjacent to an insensitive explosive fill. Upon donor explosive pellet initiation, the donor explosive pellet provides a shock stimulus to the insensitive acceptor explosive pellet, which initiates the insensitive acceptor explosive pellet, causing a detonation wave to be driven through the plurality of relative percent TMD zones and into the insensitive explosive fill. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to a system for measuring the power of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) using piezoelectric transducers (PZTs) and pyroelectric transducers (PRTs). According to an illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure, a target cell has a mirrored surface that can partially reflect and partially absorb EMR. Each target cell can include or be coupled to PZTs and PRTs. When incident EMR reflects off of targets cells, the reflected portion creates radiation pressure and the non-reflected portions creates heat. The PZTs convert the pressure into a first electric current, and the PRTs convert the heat into a second electric current. Measuring the first and/or second currents allows a user to calculate the original power of an EMR source. By utilizing multiple target cells placed in specially designed arrays, a user can calculate fluctuations of EMR power by time and location across the target cells. |

| ABSTRACT | An unmanned vehicle operated autonomously or by remotely piloting incorporates an onboard camera which is affixed with clear tape coated with a chemical colorimetric sensor dye sensitive to chemical warfare agents. Chemical warfare agents are detected by visual review or autonomous measurement of sensor color changes while the unmanned vehicle travels through a region suspected of having chemical warfare agents present. In various implementations, the sensor output color changes may be visually monitored by a vehicle operator viewing the camera image from a remote location. In various embodiments, the detection of chemical warfare agents may be confirmed by processing the coated tape with a calibrated opto-electronic reader. |

| ABSTRACT | A multistatic array topology and image reconstruction process for fast 3D near field microwave imaging are presented. Together, the techniques allow for hardware efficient realization of an electrically large aperture and video-rate image reconstruction. The array topology samples the scene on a regular grid of phase centers, using a tiling of multistatic arrays. Following a multistatic-to-monostatic correction, the sampled data can then be processed with the well-known and highly efficient monostatic Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) imaging algorithm. In this work, the approach is described and validated experimentally with the formation of high quality microwave images. The scheme is more than two orders of magnitude more computationally efficient than the backprojection method. In fact, it is so efficient that a cluster of four commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) graphical processing units (GPUs) can render a 3D image of a human-sized scene in 0.048-0.101 seconds. |

| ABSTRACT | A modular quantum computer architecture is developed with a hierarchy of interactions that can scale to very large numbers of qubits. Local entangling quantum gates between qubit memories within a single modular register are accomplished using natural interactions between the qubits, and entanglement between separate modular registers is completed via a probabilistic photonic interface between qubits in different registers, even over large distances. This architecture is suitable for the implementation of complex quantum circuits utilizing the flexible connectivity provided by a reconfigurable photonic interconnect network. The subject architecture is made fault-tolerant which is a prerequisite for scalability. An optimal quantum control of multimode couplings between qubits is accomplished via individual addressing the qubits with segmented optical pulses to suppress crosstalk in each register, thus enabling high-fidelity gates that can be scaled to larger qubit registers for quantum computation and simulation. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are provided for implementing wideband radiators that conform to regular equilateral triangular lattices with little to no performance compromise for typical offset pairs of dual-polarized element arrangements. This general radiator family/group/configuration can be referred to as the Slant Tri-V (STV) element based on the basic characteristic set of this radiator group and relative differences to conventional array elements normally seen on rectangular or triangular lattice arrangements. The STV array element has wideband, dual-polarized operation and conforms to the most efficiently sampled array lattice for the lowest array element count possible for phased arrays. |

| ABSTRACT | A fuel for an internal combustion engine includes a fatty alkyl ether having a formula corresponding to formula (II): wherein x is 1-8, and y is 0 to 3; and the alkyl is an alkyl group having a number of carbon atoms that is less than the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain on the opposite side of the oxygen atom. The fatty alky ether can be used as a neat fuel or blend with biodiesel, diesel, ethanol or other fuels. The fatty alkyl ethers are improved in cetane number and cold flow properties over a biodiesel with fatty acid methyl acid methyl ester compounds. This is particularly valuable for compression ignition engines. A method of combustion in several types of engines is also disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | Sensing and control apparatus for a building HVAC system includes interior and boundary sensors, such as cameras and thermal sensors, generating sensor signals conveying occupancy-related features for an area. A controller uses the sensor signals to produce an occupancy estimate and to generate equipment-control signals to cause the HVAC system to supply conditioned air to the area based on the occupancy estimate. The controller includes fusion systems collectively generating the occupancy estimate by corresponding fusion calculations, the fusion systems producing a boundary occupancy-count change based on sensor signals from the boundary sensors, an interior occupancy count based on sensor signals from the interior sensors, and the overall occupancy estimate. Fusion may be of one or multiple types including cross-modality fusion across different sensor types, within-modality fusion across different instances of same-type sensors, and cross-algorithm fusion using different algorithms for the same sensor(s). |

| ABSTRACT | In some examples, thermal aware optimization logic determines a characteristic (e.g., a workload or type) of a wavefront (e.g., multiple threads). For example, the characteristic indicates whether the wavefront is compute intensive, memory intensive, mixed, and/or another type of wavefront. The thermal aware optimization logic determines temperature information for one or more compute units (CUs) in one or more processing cores. The temperature information includes predictive thermal information indicating expected temperatures corresponding to the one or more CUs and historical thermal information indicating current or past thermal temperatures of at least a portion of a graphics processing unit (GPU). The logic selects the one or more compute units to process the plurality of threads based on the determined characteristic and the temperature information. The logic provides instructions to the selected subset of the plurality of CUs to execute the wavefront. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed for performing scalable operations in a file system. Metadata entries in a namespace or directory tree are sharded across multiple file metadata servers. An augmented enumeration operation, such as listing a directory, is parallelized across the multiple file metadata servers, transparently to clients. Exemplary augmentation features can include filtering and sorting. Augmentation features can be executed concurrently with enumeration, prior to enumeration, after enumeration, or as a combination of these, and can utilize pre-built index structures or holding structures for intermediate results. Augmented enumeration operations can also include no-output operations such as changing file attributes or deleting a file, and cumulative operations such as counting total disk space usage. The parallelization is compatible with tree-level parallelization and storage-level parallelization. Disclosed technologies can be applied to other fields requiring scalable enumeration, such as database and network applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Various technologies for communicating with systems that communicate using an unknown communications protocol are described herein. A transceiver intercepts a plurality of communications exchanged between two or more transceivers on a communications network. Pattern-recognition algorithms are executed over the plurality of communications, and features of an unknown communications protocol that governs the communications between the two or more transceivers are inferred based upon output of the pattern-recognition algorithms. A communication is formatted based upon the inferred features of the unknown communications protocol, and the communication transmitted to one or more systems on the communications network by way of the transceiver. The communication at least partially conforms to the unknown communications protocol, and so may be interpreted by systems on the network. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for the large-scale production of PCBs including a continuous selective adhesion process for creating printed circuit traces providing input to a production line. A roll of printed circuit traces is produced using rolls of flexible substrate, conductive layer, and conductive layer support by applying adhesive between the rolls of flexible substrate and conductive layer, bringing the rolls together, transferring a circuit pattern onto the flexible substrate, curing the adhesive through non-opaque areas of the circuit pattern, and separating the non-bonded areas. The resulting printed circuit traces are applied from the roll to mounts, and circuit components are applied from a roll to the traces as the mounts move along the line. Additional rolls of printed circuit traces and circuit components may be incorporated, and multi-layer PCBs may be produced. As part of the production line, the finished PCBs may be applied to flat or contoured products. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein is a particle delivery system comprising electrospun nanofiber comprised of coaxial fiber with a microfluidic core. Iron-doped apatite nanoparticles (IDANPs) have demonstrated a unique influence over phage killing of bacteria, whereby, IDANP-exposed bacterial cultures experience 2× the bacterial death as controls. IDANPs consist of hydroxyapatite (HA) doped with iron. HA is a mineral known to be biocompatible and analogous to the inorganic constituent of mammalian bone and teeth and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for many applications in medicine and dentistry. Previous work has shown that for IDANPs to enhance antibacterial activity of phage to the greatest extent, bacterial cultures should be exposed to IDANPs for 1 hr prior to phage introduction. Biocompatible polymer materials which encase IDANPs and/or phage can be used to disseminate IDANPs and/or phage in a controlled manner into a physiological system for treatment of bacterial infection. When components of said materials contain micro- or nano-scale components, high surface-to-volume ratio for treatment delivery is garnered. |

| ABSTRACT | Porous three-dimensional networks of polyurea and porous three-dimensional networks of carbon and methods of their manufacture are described. In an example, polyurea aerogels are prepared by mixing an triisocyanate with water and a triethylamine to form a sol-gel material and supercritically drying the sol-gel material to form the polyurea aerogel. Subjecting the polyurea aerogel to a step of pyrolysis may result in a three dimensional network having a carbon skeleton, yielding a carbon aerogel. The density and morphology of polyurea aerogels can be controlled by varying the amount of isocyanate monomer in the initial reaction mixture. A lower density in the aerogel gives rise to a fibrous morphology, whereas a greater density in the aerogel results in a particulate morphology. Polyurea aerogels described herein may also exhibit a reduced flammability. |

| ABSTRACT | A system includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to determine a first motion envelope of an object. The first motion envelope corresponds to a kinematic envelope of positions of the object which are achievable. The instructions also cause the processor to determine an operational envelope of the object based on an intersection of the first motion envelope and a second motion envelope of the object. The second motion envelope corresponds to a range of motion of the object constrained by dynamic motion limits of the object, and the operational envelope is indicative of a range of motion of the object during operation of the object. The instructions further cause the processor to generate a virtual model of the object based on the operational envelope. The virtual model is used to virtually model operation of the object. |

| ABSTRACT | A modular quantum computer architecture is developed with a hierarchy of interactions that can scale to very large numbers of qubits. Local entangling quantum gates between qubit memories within a single modular register are accomplished using natural interactions between the qubits, and entanglement between separate modular registers is completed via a probabilistic photonic interface between qubits in different registers, even over large distances. This architecture is suitable for the implementation of complex quantum circuits utilizing the flexible connectivity provided by a reconfigurable photonic interconnect network. The subject architecture is made fault-tolerant which is a prerequisite for scalability. An optimal quantum control of multimode couplings between qubits is accomplished via individual addressing the qubits with segmented optical pulses to suppress crosstalk in each register, thus enabling high-fidelity gates that can be scaled to larger qubit registers for quantum computation and simulation. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for predicting future social activity. The system extracts social activities from spatial-temporal social network data collected in a first time period ranging from hours to days to capture spatial structures of social activities in a graph network representation. A graph matching technique is applied over a set of spatial-temporal social network data collected in a second time period ranging from weeks to months to capture temporal structures of the social activities. A spatial-temporal structure of each social activity is represented as an activity core, where each activity core is defined as active nodes that participate in the social activity with a frequency over a predetermined threshold over the second time period. For each activity core, the system computes statistics of the social activity and uses the statistics to generate a prediction of future behaviors of the social activity. |

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, December 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.
