| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for image-based guidance using automated instrument tracking. An en face image frame, generated from en face image data captured by a first imaging system (e.g., an SER imaging system), is analyzed to determine a location of an instrument in the first imaging plane. A control signal is then generated for the movement stage to control the scanning movement of a depth-based imaging system (e.g., an OCT imaging system) based on the determined location of the instrument. In some implementations, a trained neural-network is used to determine the location of the instrument based on the en face image frame and, in some implementations, the control signal adjusts the speed of the scanning movement to capture image data at a higher density7 at areas corresponding to the determined location of the instrument. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and compositions for treating or preventing C. difficile infection (CDI) through TcdB or TcdA holotoxins. The compositions feature immunogens or binding agents, such as antibodies, nanobodies (VHHs), single-domain antibodies (sdAbs), etc., based on one or a combination of neutralizing epitopes of TcdB or TcdA. Where immunogens inhibit the conformational changes necessary for pore formation by TcdB at an endosomal pH. Additionally, immunogens inhibit the movement of the scissile bond into the CPD cleavage side and a proper orientation of GTD relative to CPD, thus inhibiting cleavage of the GTD, which is required to activate the toxin. The present invention also describes vaccines for treatment of CDI, e.g., vaccines that target TcdB or TcdA. |

| ABSTRACT | Amyloids have been known to arise from many different proteins and polypeptides. These polypeptide chains generally form β-sheet structures that aggregate into long fibers; however, identical polypeptides can fold into multiple distinct amyloid conformations. The diversity of the conformations may have led to different forms of the prion diseases. In particular, large populations of small globular amyloid oligomers (gOs) and curvilinear fibrils (CFs) precede the formation of late-stage rigid fibrils (RFs), and have been implicated in amyloid toxicity. As disclosed herein, triarylmethane f dye crystal violet is a highly selective indicator of gOs and CFs. Therefore, disclosed herein are compositions, kits, and methods for detecting amyloids in a tissue, either in vitro or in vivo. |

| ABSTRACT | A blood glucose control system can generate an indication of total carbohydrate therapy over a period during use by a subject. The system can be connected to a medicament pump configured to deliver insulin therapy, other types of medicament therapy, or a combination of medicament therapies to the subject. The system can determine an amount of a counter-regulatory agent to respond to an impending risk of hypoglycemia or an episode of hypoglycemia and determine a dose of carbohydrate therapy based at least in part on the amount of the counter-regulatory agent. The system can track determined doses of carbohydrate therapy to generate the indication of total carbohydrate therapy over the period. |

| ABSTRACT | Enantioselective total syntheses of the anticancer isocarbostyril alkaloids (+)-7-deoxypancratistatin, (+)-pancratistatin, (+)-lycoricidine, and (+)-narciclasine are described. Our strategy for accessing this unique class of natural products is based on the development of a Ni-catalyzed dearomative trans-1,2-carboamination of benzene. The effectiveness of this dearomatization approach is notable, as only two additional olefin functionalizations are needed to construct the fully decorated aminocyclitol cores of these alkaloids. Installation of the lactam ring has been achieved through several pathways and a direct interconversion between natural products was established via a late-stage C-7 cupration. Using this synthetic blueprint, we were able to produce natural products on a gram scale and provide tailored analogs with improved activity, solubility, and metabolic stability. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein is the finding that increasing the frequency of Zscan4 activation in mouse ES cells not only enhances, but also maintains their developmental potency in long-term cell culture. As the potency increases, even a whole animal can be produced from a single ES cell injected into a 4N blastocyst at an unexpectedly high success rate. The studies disclosed herein indicate that ES cells acquire higher potency by going through the transient Zscan4 activation state more frequently than the regular state. Particularly disclosed herein is the finding that the constitutive presence of Zscan4-ERT2, even in the absence of its usual activator tamoxifen, can increase the frequency of endogenous Zscan4 activation in ES cells, resulting in the increase of developmental potency of the ES cells. Accordingly, provided herein are Zscan4-ERT2 fusion proteins and nucleic acid molecules and vectors encoding Zscan4-ERT2 fusion proteins. Further provided are methods of prolonging and/or enhancing stem cell pluripotency using the disclosed Zscan4-ERT2 nucleic acid molecules and fusion proteins. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention includes novel systems, methods, and compositions to inhibit TF function by disrupting the TF-Mediator interaction. In this preferred aspect, functional mimics of TF activation domains may be rationally designed to block TF-Mediator binding and selectively inhibited TF-dependent transcription and may further incorporate a penta-arg motif for enhanced cell penetration. In one preferred embodiment of the invention novel stapled mimetic peptides of p53 activation domains incorporating a penta-arg motif were rationally designed to block p53 function by disrupting the p53-Mediator interaction. Additional aspects of the invention include methods of treating cancer in a subject, and other diseases related to the activity of the TFs, such as p53, and the Mediator complex, and its downstream TF-dependent transcription. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for imaging or determining nucleic acids in cells or other samples. In some cases, the transcriptome of a cell may be determined. Certain embodiments are generally directed to determining nucleic acids and other targets in a sample at relatively high resolutions. For instance, nucleic acid probes may be applied to sample, and binding of the nucleic acid probes to a target may be amplified using primary and secondary amplifier nucleic acids. In some cases, there is a maximum number of amplifier nucleic acids that can be bound to a target, e.g., the binding is saturatable, and cannot grow indefinitely, even in the presence of abundant reagents. This may be advantageous, for example, for controlling the brightness of each binding event, controlling the size of the amplified regions (e.g., during imaging), and/or for limiting the degree of amplification noise (i.e. the final variation in amplified signal from molecule to molecule), etc. In addition, in some embodiments, the primary and/or secondary amplifier nucleic acids may be formed from only 3 of the 4 naturally-occurring nucleotides, which may result in less secondary structure, faster binding rates, etc. These properties can in some cases facilitate the rapid design of multiple orthogonal amplification sequences, allowing the extension of such an approach to many distinct molecular targets. |

| ABSTRACT | Devices, systems and methods are described that can be used to develop confocal microscopes with high lateral resolution. One example confocal microscope includes a first dispersion element that receives a light beam and to produce illumination beams with different spectral components, and an objective that receives reflected light upon reflection of the illumination beams from a target. The confocal microscope further includes a second dispersion element that receives the reflected light after propagation through in the objective lens, and a third dispersion element that receives the dispersed light associated with the second dispersion element and provides an output light to a camera lens for focusing onto a detector. The second and the third dispersion elements are positioned such that each point on the detector is conjugate to a corresponding single point on the target. Some applications of the disclosed confocal microscopes include skin disease diagnosis and imaging of freshly-excised tissues. |

| ABSTRACT | A computing device may receive a first set of training data for training an ANN to predict output data for a first task, and may train the ANN with the first set of training data by only adjusting values of weights associated with a first subset of neurons, the first subset selected based on an identity of the first task. The computing device may receive a second, different set of training data for training the ANN to predict output data for a second task, and may train the ANN with the second set of training data by only adjusting values of weights associated with a second subset of neurons, the second subset selected based on an identity of the second task. During training, adjusting of the value of any weight may entail weight stabilization that depends on whether there has been any training for one or more previous tasks. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure addresses a quantitative analysis of tumor vascularity patterns, with the goal of identifying biomarkers correlated with malignancy. Herein, we identify new types of quantitative ultrasound biomarkers of microvessel morphology that correlate with the state of the disease in question. We propose a novel method to automatically extract quantitative features related to the morphology and distribution of the vascular networks reconstructed from contrast-free ultrasound data. For instance, spatial vascularity pattern, bifurcation angle, Murray's deviation, fractal dimension and closet vessel distance were clearly depicted. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods of evaluating electronic health record data to identify genetic disorders. Electronic health record (EHR) data for a patient is accessed from a non-transitory computer-readable memory and an input data set is generated indicative of one or more phenotypes indicated by the EHR data. A trained artificial intelligence model is then applied to the input data set and produces an output indicating whether the patient is a candidate for genetic testing based on the one or more phenotypes indicated by the electronic health record data. An output signal is then transmitted in response to determining that the patient is a candidate for the genetic testing. In some implementations, a computer-based system is configured to automatically schedule the patient for a genetic testing procedure and/or to notify a medical care provider that the patient is a candidate for genetic testing in response to the output signal. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and compositions for treating or preventing C. difficile infection (CDI) through TcdB or TcdA holotoxins. The compositions feature immunogens or binding agents, such as antibodies, nanobodies (VHHs), single-domain antibodies (sdAbs), etc., based on one or a combination of neutralizing epitopes of TcdB or TcdA. Where immunogens inhibit the conformational changes necessary for pore formation by TcdB at an endosomal pH. Additionally, immunogens inhibit the movement of the scissile bond into the CPD cleavage side and a proper orientation of GTD relative to CPD, thus inhibiting cleavage of the GTD, which is required to activate the toxin. The present invention also describes vaccines for treatment of CDI, e.g., vaccines that target TcdB or TcdA. |

| ABSTRACT | Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is an important human pathogen. Limited evidence suggests that antibodies can protect humans against lethal CCHFV disease, but the protective efficacy of antibodies has never been evaluated in adult animal models. Here adult mice were used to investigate the protection provided by glycoprotein-targeting neutralizing and non-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against CCHFV infection. A single non-neutralizing antibody (mAb-13G8) was identified that protected adult type I interferon deficient mice >90% when treatment was initiated prior to virus exposure and >60% when administered after virus exposure. Neutralizing antibodies known to protect neonatal mice from lethal CCHFV infection, failed to confer protection regardless of IgG subclass. The target of mAb-13G8 was identified as GP38, one of multiple proteolytically-cleaved glycoproteins derived from the CCHFV glycoprotein precursor polyprotein. Robust protection required complement activity, but not Fc-receptor functionality. Consistently, it was found that GP38 previously identified as a secreted molecule also localizes to viral envelope and cellular plasma membranes. This study reveals GP38 as an important antibody target for CCHFV and lays the foundation to develop novel vaccines and immunotherapeutic against CCHFV in human. |

| ABSTRACT | Suspending fibers within a substantially similar direction within flow field allows for an even dispersion of fibers in a manufactured composite. The flow field can be established within a resin tank so as to control orientation of the fibers. An advantage of this approach is that fiber orientation can be changed layer by layer during printing. No matter where the reinforcements need to be, the fibers can be aligned on the fly to accommodate. 3D prints can made stronger for a very wide range of objects and opportunities. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for identifying observation points for integrated circuit (IC) testing includes receiving a netlist for an IC that includes a first subcircuit and a second subcircuit; determining, from the netlist, one or more observation points, each determined observation point corresponding to an output node which provides observability, into at least the first subcircuit, of an effective number of gates above a specified threshold; and inserting a design for test element into a layout file of the IC at each determined observation point. Observation points can be determined by transforming the netlist into a node graph; assigning a same initial value to a value field of each node; and propagating values in the value fields of the nodes until all nodes with a succeeding edge have a value of zero in their value fields. |

| ABSTRACT | Transmissive and reflective all-dielectric metastructures are presented that offer tailored polarization conversions and spectral responses. The metastructures consist of stacked deeply subwavelength, high contrast gratings of different fill factors and rotations. Broadband metastructures that perform a given polarization conversion over a wide continuous bandwidth will be shown, as well as multiband metastructures that perform a common polarization conversion over different bands. Unlike conventional stacked grating geometries, the transmissive metastructures do not require antireflection layers since impedance matching is incorporated into their design. The subwavelength gratings are modeled as homogeneous anisotropic layers, allowing an overall metastructure to be treated as a stratified dielectric medium. Quasi-static analysis is used to homogenize the subwavelength gratings and represent them with effective dielectric constants. Plane-wave transfer matrix techniques are employed to model the interactions between gratings, allowing for rapid design and optimization. |

| ABSTRACT | A Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is provided to receive a coherent input photon in an initial pointer state along an emission direction for producing a continuous variable “faux qubit” in a magic state. The MZI apparatus includes first and second ports, first and second beam-splitters, first and second mirrors, and a modular interaction operator. The emitter produces an input coherent photon in an initial pointer state along an emission direction. The first and second ports are respectively disposed parallel and perpendicular to the emission direction. The first port has a detector. The first beam-splitter is disposed collinearly with the emission direction. The second beam-splitter is disposed between the first and second ports in parallel to and offset from the emission direction. The input photon reflects from the mirrors. Each beam-splitter either passes through or else reflects the input photon. The first mirror is disposed from the first and second beam-splitters respectively perpendicular and parallel to the emission direction. The second mirror is disposed from the first and second beam-splitters respectively collinearly with and perpendicular to the emission direction. The modular interaction operator is disposed between the first mirror and the second beam-splitter for measuring interaction therebetween to thereby generate a post-selected magic state photon. Further embodiments include an actuator that translates the first mirror diagonally to and from the beam-splitters to set coupling strength. Additional embodiments enable a phase angle shift between the first beam-splitter and the first mirror. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to chiplets are described. A chiplet-based system may include a memory controller chiplet to control accesses to a storage array, and the memory controller chiplet can facilitate error correction and cache management in a manner to minimize interruptions to a sequence of data reads to write corrected data from a prior read back into the storage array. For example, a read command may be received at a memory controller device of the memory system from a requesting device. Data responsive to the read command may be obtained and determined to include a correctable error. The data may be corrected, transmitted to the requesting device and written to cache of the memory controller device with an indication that data is valid and dirty (e.g., includes an error or corrected error). The data is written back to the memory array in response to a cache eviction event. |

| ABSTRACT | Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for reducing design complexity and critical path timing challenges of credit return logic. A wide bus supports simultaneous transmission of multiple flits, one per lane of the wide bus. A source device transmitting flits on a wide bus selects from among multiple credit return options to ensure that only one of the multiple flits being simultaneously transmitted includes a credit return value. In some example embodiments, the receiving device checks only the flit of one lane of the wide bus (e.g., lane 0) for credit return data. In other example embodiments, the receiving device uses a bitwise-OR to combine the credit return data of all received flits in a single cycle. |

| ABSTRACT | Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for mapping point-to-point channels to packet virtual channels. A chip with an point-to-point interface converts point-to-point data to a packet format. The point-to-point channels are mapped to virtual channels of the packet transmission protocol. Information from multiple point-to-point channels may be combined in a single packet. Among the benefits of implementations of the present disclosure is that point-to-point devices may be connected to a packetized network without losing the benefits of separate channels for different types of communication. This allows existing point-to-point devices to communicate using a packetized network without internal modification or performance degradation. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for improving security in computer-based authentication systems by using physical unclonable functions are presented. A computing device used to provide authentication includes multiple arrays of physical unclonable function devices. Rather than storing user passwords or message digests of passwords, the computing device generates a message digest based on a user's credentials. A challenge response generated by measuring physical parameters of set of physical unclonable function devices specified by the message digest. The computing device can provide authentication without storing information which could be used by an attacker to compromise user credentials. Redundancy and robustness to varying loads are provided by the use of multiple PUF arrays which may be used as backups or to provide load balancing. Backdoor access may be provided to trusted parties without exposing user credentials. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention presents an innovative framework for the application of machine learning (ML) for identification of energetic materials with desired properties of interest. For the output properties of interest, we identify the corresponding driving (input) factors. We present a framework for a generic engine for predicting properties of energetic materials, once capable of interacting with and receiving support from physics-based prediction models, supporting joint optimization, accounting for properties both at macro- and micro-level, supporting multi-linear regression of descriptors, and offering physics-based interpretation of the descriptors. We present an approach for formulating descriptors, capable of both capturing properties and behavior of complex molecular structures, and that can be imported into ML algorithms for analysis. We show how combustion temperature and density can be analytically accounted for in a hybrid ML and physics-based model for optimizing a specific impulse, for purpose of making the most of the usually limited input data available. |

| ABSTRACT | Variation-aware delay fault testing suitable for carbon nanotube field-effect transistor circuits can be accomplished using an electronic design automation tool that performs long path selection by generating random variation scenarios, wherein a random variation scenario (RVS) is an instance of an input netlist where values for a set of process parameters for each gate are chosen from a set of values for each process parameter of the set of process parameters for that gate, the set of values being sampled from a distribution of that particular process parameter for that gate and includes a nominal value for that particular process parameter; calculating a total delay through a path for each RVS; and selecting at least two paths having highest total delays for each fault site under random variations of the RVSs. Delay test patterns can then be generated for the selected paths. |

| ABSTRACT | A datalink such as used on high-speed vehicles (missiles, guided-projectiles, manned or unmanned aircraft) includes an integrated conformal antenna array and out-of-band rejection filter for use with an RF radio. Integration of a single rejection filter between the EME power received by the antenna array and the coaxial RF connector effectively protects the connector as well as the radio. The connector can now be designed based solely on the transmit power requirements of the radio. The resultant connector is smaller and takes up less space inside the vehicle. |

| ABSTRACT | An analog computing system with coupled non-linear oscillators can solve complex combinatorial optimization problems using the weighted Ising model. The system is composed of a fully-connected LC oscillator network with low-cost electronic components and compatible with traditional integrated circuit technologies. Each LC oscillator, or node, in the network can be coupled to each other node in the array with a multiply and accumulate crossbar array or optical interconnects. When implemented with four nodes, the system performs with single-run ground state accuracies of 98% on randomized MAX-CUT problem sets with binary weights and 84% with five-bit weight resolutions. The four-node system can obtain solutions within five oscillator cycles with a time-to-solution that scales directly with oscillator frequency. A scaling analysis suggests that larger coupled oscillator networks may be used to solve computationally intensive problems faster and more efficiently than conventional algorithms. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method provide a hybrid communication scheme that achieves high communication rates with post-quantum computational security guarantees. Messages to be securely communicated are first mixed using an individually secure encoding, such as a linear network code, and some of the encoded messages are further encrypted. The encrypted and unencrypted messages are sent via different communications channels. Each unencrypted message becomes almost as secure as the encrypted messages because of the pre-mixing, since decoding any one of the messages requires all of the messages, including the encrypted messages. Thus, a very few encrypted messages may be used, allowing the rate of communication to approach one as the number of channels increases. This is particularly beneficial when a classical public-key cryptosystem can only be used in part of the data transmitted or stored, in the presence of noisy channels, in distributed data storage, and other applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods of producing unclonable devices are disclosed. Robust optical physical unclonable function devices use disordered photonic integrated circuits. Optical physical unclonable functions based on speckle patterns, chaos, or ‘strong’ disorder are so far notoriously sensitive to probing and/or environmental variations. A presently disclosed optical physical unclonable function is designed for robustness against fluctuations in optical angular/spatial alignment, polarization, and temperature using an integrated quasicrystal interferometer which sensitively probes disorder. All modes are engineered to exhibit approximately the same confinement factor in the predominant thermo-optic medium (e.g., silicon) and for constraining the transverse spatial-mode and polarization degrees of freedom. Silicon photonic quasicrystal interferometry is used for secure hardware applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for flow control using a multiple flit interface. A credit return field is used in a credit-based flow control system to indicate that one or more credits are being returned to a sending device from a receiving device. Based on the number of credits available, the sending device determines whether to send device or wait until more credits are returned. The amount of buffer space used by the receiver to store the packet is determined by the number of transfer cycles used to receive the packet, not the number of flits comprising the packet. This is enabled by having the buffer be as wide as the bus. The receiver returns credits to the sender based on the number of buffer rows used to store the received packet, not the number of flits comprising the packet. |

| ABSTRACT | Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for reducing the size of packet headers by using a single field to encode multiple elements. Instead of including separate fields for each element, one or more encoded fields may be used, each of which is decoded to determine two or more values for the data packet. A receiving device decodes the encoded data field to retrieve the two or more values. |

| ABSTRACT | A transmitting device generates multiple small packets for a large packet and transmits them to a receiving device. Routing devices forward the multiple small packets to the receiving device. Each of the smaller packets, except the last packet, has a sequence indicator set. As a result, the receiving device is able to determine that each of the smaller packets is part of a larger packet and buffer the smaller packets or their payloads. When the last packet is received, the larger packet is complete and may be processed by the receiving device. The routing devices delay requests from other transmitting devices to transmit data to the receiving device until the last packet is sent to the receiving device. The routing devices may continue to route traffic to the receiving device on all virtual channels other than a virtual channel being used for the large packet. |

| ABSTRACT | Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for reducing the size of packet headers without reducing the range of packet lengths supported. A packet header includes a fixed-width length field. Using a linear encoding, the maximum packet size is a linear function of the fixed-width length field. Thus, to expand the range of sizes available, either the granularity of the field must be decreased (e.g., by changing the measure of the field from flits to double-flits) or the size of the field must be increased (e.g., by changing the size of the field from 4 bits to 5 bits). However, by using a non-linear encoding, the difference between the minimum and maximum size can be increased without decreasing the granularity within a first range of field values and without increasing the size of the length field. |

| ABSTRACT | A device allocates buffer space for storing data received from another device. The other device has a credit balance corresponding to the amount of buffer space. A sending device reduces its number of credits by a cost of a packet and sends the packet. To ensure that the buffer does not overflow, the sending device spends a credit for each entry in the buffer that could be consumed by the sent data packet. When received data is added to the buffer without consuming a new entry, a response packet that returns a credit is sent to the sending device before the data is read from the buffer. Thus, the sending device is enabled to continue sending data without waiting for the buffer to be read, enabling the communication between the two devices to make more efficient use of the buffer. |

| ABSTRACT | A credit return field is used in a credit-based flow control system to indicate that one or more credits are being returned to a sending device from a receiving device. Based on the number of credits available, the sending device determines whether to send device or wait until more credits are returned. A write enable mask allows a wide data field to be used even when a smaller amount of data is to be written. A novel data packet uses a combined write enable mask and credit return field. In one mode, the field contains a write enable mask. In another mode, the field contains credit return data. If the field contains credit return data, a default value (e.g., all ones) is used for the write enable mask. The mode may be selected based on another value in the data packet. |

| ABSTRACT | A secure communication network includes interconnected switches including a source switch, a destination switch, and an intermediate switch. Packets are transferred over the secure communication network from a start node to an end node. The source switch replaces an original payload of each packet with an encrypted payload that combines the original payload and a respective random pad for the packet. The source switch then discards the respective random pad. The source and intermediate switches forward each packet toward the destination switch. The destination switch replaces the encrypted payload of each packet with a decrypted payload, which combines the encrypted payload and the respective random pad so as to match the original payload, discards the respective random pad, and transmits the packet with the decrypted payload to the end node. A controller sends the respective random pad for each packet to the source and destination switches via secure management links. |

| ABSTRACT | An integrated multi-scale modeling platform is utilized to assess agricultural productivity and sustainability. The model is used to assess the environmental impacts of agricultural management from individual fields to watershed/basin to continental scales. In addition, an integrated irrigation system is developed using data and a machine-learning model that includes weather forecast and soil moisture simulation to determine an irrigation amount for farmers. Next, crop cover classification prediction can be established for an ongoing growing system using a machine learning or statistical model to predict the planted crop type in an area. Finally, a method of predicting key phenology dates of crops for individual field parcels, farms, or parts of a field parcel, in a growing season, can be established. |

| ABSTRACT | Atomically dispersed platinum-group metal-free catalyst and method for synthesizing the same. According to one embodiment, the catalyst is made by a method in which, in a first step, an Mn-doped ZIF-8 catalyst precursor is prepared by reacting a first solution comprising zinc nitrate hexahydrate and manganese chloride dissolved in an acid/water solution with a second solution comprising 2-methylimidazole dissolved in water. Then, in a second step, the Mn-doped ZIF-8 catalyst precursor is thermally activated, i.e., carbonized, to form an Mn—N—C catalyst. Preferably, the thermal activation is performed in a multistep fashion, first at a lower temperature of about 800° C. and then at a higher temperature of about 1100° C. After carbonization, the catalyst material may optionally be subjected to an absorption process, followed by a second thermal activation. The absorption process may involve dispersing the catalyst material in a solution of manganese chloride and urea in hydrochloric acid and isopropanol. |

| ABSTRACT | An integrated multi-scale modeling platform is utilized to assess agricultural productivity and sustainability. The model is used to assess the environmental impacts of agricultural management from individual fields to watershed/basin to continental scales. In addition, an integrated irrigation system is developed using data and a machine-learning model that includes weather forecast and soil moisture simulation to determine an irrigation amount for farmers. Next, crop cover classification prediction can be established for an ongoing growing system using a machine learning or statistical model to predict the planted crop type in an area. Finally, a method of predicting key phenology dates of crops for individual field parcels, farms, or parts of a field parcel, in a growing season, can be established. |

| ABSTRACT | Active biofluid management may be advantageous to the realization of wearable bioanalytical platforms that can autonomously provide frequent, real-time, and accurate measures of biomarkers in epidermally-retrievable biofluids (e.g., sweat). Accordingly, exemplary implementations include a programmable epidermal microfluidic valving system capable of biofluid sampling, routing, and compartmentalization for biomarker analysis. An exemplary system includes a network of individually-addressable microheater-controlled thermo-responsive hydrogel valves, augmented with a pressure regulation mechanism to accommodate pressure built-up, when interfacing sweat glands. The active biofluid control achieved by this system may be harnessed to create unprecedented wearable bioanalytical capabilities at both the sensor level (decoupling the confounding influence of flow rate variability on sensor response) and the system level (facilitating context-based sensor selection/protection). Through integration with a wireless flexible printed circuit board and seamless bilateral communication with consumer electronics (e.g., smartwatch), contextually-relevant (scheduled/on-demand) on-body biomarker data acquisition/display may be achieved. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for selenium removal from wastewater are provided using direct electrochemical reduction. Advantageously, the technique can efficiently and continuously treat weakly acidic wastewater (pH 4-7) with 0.001-10 mM Se(IV) concentrations in a weakly acidic solution. Embodiments of the invention include Se(IV) electrochemically removed from the aqueous phase through either a four- or six-electron pathway, with the former generating Se(0) directly attached to the electrode surface and the latter producing Se(-II) that is subsequently converted to Se(0). A key feature of these embodiments is the use of moderate heating to ensure the process takes place at an elevated temperature (e.g., temperatures above the amorphous-to-crystalline transition for Se(0)), which the inventors discovered results in the creation of conductive crystalline Se on an electrode surface, thereby avoiding self-limiting nature of prior techniques which result in insulative amorphous deposition of Se(0) on the electrode. |

| ABSTRACT | Many embodiments implement quantum confined nanoplatelets (NPLs) that can be induced to emit bright and tunable infrared emission from attached quantum dot (QD). Some embodiments provide mesoscale NPLs with a largest dimension of greater than 1 micron. Certain embodiments provide methods for growing mesoscale NPLs and QD on mesoscale NPLs heterostructures. Several embodiments provide near unity energy transfer from NPLs to QDs, which can quench NPL emission and emit with high quantum yield through the shortwave infrared. The QD defect emission can be kinetically tunable, enabling controlled mid-gap emission from NPLs. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for identifying observation points for integrated circuit (IC) testing includes receiving a netlist for an IC that includes a first subcircuit and a second subcircuit; determining, from the netlist, one or more observation points, each determined observation point corresponding to an output node which provides observability, into at least the first subcircuit, of an effective number of gates above a specified threshold; and inserting a design for test element into a layout file of the IC at each determined observation point. Observation points can be determined by transforming the netlist into a node graph; assigning a same initial value to a value field of each node; and propagating values in the value fields of the nodes until all nodes with a succeeding edge have a value of zero in their value fields. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention presents an innovative framework for the application of machine learning (ML) for identification of energetic materials with desired properties of interest. For the output properties of interest, we identify the corresponding driving (input) factors. We present a framework for a generic engine for predicting properties of energetic materials, once capable of interacting with and receiving support from physics-based prediction models, supporting joint optimization, accounting for properties both at macro- and micro-level, supporting multi-linear regression of descriptors, and offering physics-based interpretation of the descriptors. We present an approach for formulating descriptors, capable of both capturing properties and behavior of complex molecular structures, and that can be imported into ML algorithms for analysis. We show how combustion temperature and density can be analytically accounted for in a hybrid ML and physics-based model for optimizing a specific impulse, for purpose of making the most of the usually limited input data available. |

| ABSTRACT | A computing device may receive a first set of training data for training an ANN to predict output data for a first task, and may train the ANN with the first set of training data by only adjusting values of weights associated with a first subset of neurons, the first subset selected based on an identity of the first task. The computing device may receive a second, different set of training data for training the ANN to predict output data for a second task, and may train the ANN with the second set of training data by only adjusting values of weights associated with a second subset of neurons, the second subset selected based on an identity of the second task. During training, adjusting of the value of any weight may entail weight stabilization that depends on whether there has been any training for one or more previous tasks. |

| ABSTRACT | Adaptive and hierarchical convolutional neural networks (AH-CNNs) using partial reconfiguration on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) are provided. An AH-CNN is implemented to adaptively switch between shallow and deep networks to reach a higher throughput on resource-constrained devices, such as a multiprocessor system on a chip (MPSoC) with a central processing unit (CPU) and FPGA. To this end, the AH-CNN includes a novel CNN architecture having three parts: 1) a shallow part which is a light-weight CNN model, 2) a decision layer which evaluates the shallow part's performance and makes a decision whether deeper processing would be beneficial, and 3) one or more deep parts which are deep CNNs with a high inference accuracy. |

| 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. |

The model is used to assess the environmental impacts of agricultural management from individual fields to watershed/basin to continental scales. In addition, an integrated irrigation system is developed using data and a machine-learning model that includes weather forecast and soil moisture simulation to determine an irrigation amount for farmers. Next, crop cover classification prediction can be established for an ongoing growing system using a machine learning or statistical model to predict the planted crop type in an area. Finally, a method of predicting key phenology dates of crops for individual field parcels, farms, or parts of a field parcel, in a growing season, can be established. |

| ABSTRACT | An integrative computational soil mapping system and process that reduces the required number of soil property measurements without jeopardizing the statistical precision of the resulting digital soil maps. The integrative computational soil mapping system and process saves monetary resources and time by reducing the number of soil property measurements required to produce digital soil maps and by offering soil sample locations which capture the maximum amount of representativeness of the soil characteristics in a determined area. In addition, the inventive system and process are integrative computational soil mapping that utilize algorithms based on state-of-the-art computational statistics and machine learning methods for the production of digital soil property maps and also provides soil sampling locations to collect new soil property measurements. These soil property measurements can be used to update and potentially improve previous versions of digital soil property maps, produced by the computational process. |

| ABSTRACT | Identifying geographical locations suitable for a vertiport. Suitability factors across a geographical area are identified for consideration including, without limitation, noise, zoning, transit stations, fire stations, and hospitals. The suitability factors have suitability values that are based on characteristics, including location-based suitability values (i.e., proximity to mass transit stations), level-based suitability values (i.e., noise levels), and characteristic-based suitability values (i.e., residential zoning). The vertiport assessment system divides the geographical area into subregions, identifies a set of candidate vertiport locations using suitability values, weights for scaling the impact of the suitability factor, and identifies a particular subregion as a candidate location if a composite value exceeds a threshold value. The candidate subregions are shown on a user interface map overlay in a color-coded gradient that reflects the composite values for a subregion. These candidate vertiport locations are refined by establishing feasibility of flight between them. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of controlling the charge current during charging of a lithium-ion battery. A battery charging controller is based on a Kalman filter, which uses estimated battery states to generate a feedback metric to continually adjust a battery cell model. The battery cell model then delivers data to an optimization process that generates the charge current. |

| ABSTRACT | Various examples of a high frequency, inductor and transformer core loss characterization and measurement method and system for arbitrary waveforms are disclosed herein. A system and method for determining core loss of a magnetic core can include generating a waveform to excite a first test circuit which comprises an excitation circuit, a circuit under test (CUT) comprising the magnetic core, and an inductance circuit having an inductor connected in parallel to the CUT. The method includes measuring a first current, when the first test circuit is excited. The method includes disconnecting the CUT from the first test circuit to form a second test circuit. The method includes generating the waveform to excite the second test circuit, and measuring a second current, when the second test circuit is excited. The power loss for the magnetic core is calculated based on an input voltage and the first and second measured current. |

How To Use This Page
THE FEDINVENT PATENT APPLICATION 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 Thursday, March 03, 2022.
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 is presented as it appears on the patent.
FILED
The date 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 the 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.
