| ABSTRACT | This dual-compartment liver co-culture system exposes target microtissue to metabolites, allowing for evaluating toxicity using a standard multi-well plate for high throughput analysis. Discovery scientists can rapidly select lead compounds with desirable metabolic profiles, while safety scientists can determine the safety of drugs, pesticides, and environmental chemicals. This platform is allometrically scalable, so it can mimic the natural size differences between healthy organs and, with the liver, produce sufficient quantities of metabolites. The device is simple to use and designed for immediate in vitro pathology assessment using confocal microscopy, transcriptomics, and proteomics. |

| ABSTRACT | A deep-learning-based method for metal artifact reduction in CT images includes providing a dataset and a cGAN. The dataset includes CT image pairs, randomly partitioned into a training set, a validation set, and a testing set. Each Pre-CT and Post-CT image pairs is respectively acquired in a region before and after an implant is implanted. The Pre-CT and Post-CT images of each pair are artifact-free CT and artifact-affected CT images, respectively. The cGAN is conditioned on the Post-CT images, includes a generator and a discriminator that operably compete with each other, and is characterized with a training objective that is a sum of an adversarial loss and a reconstruction loss. The method also includes training the cGAN with the dataset; inputting the post-operatively acquired CT image to the trained cGAN; and generating an artifact-corrected image by the trained cGAN, where metal artifacts are removed in the artifact-corrected image. |

| ABSTRACT | A DC conductive, low RF/microwave loss titanium oxide ceramic provides, at room temperature, a bulk DC resistivity of less than 1×1011 ohm-meters and an RF loss tangent of less than 2×10−4 at 7.5 GHz and less than 2×10−5 at 650 MHz. The resistivity is reduced by oxygen vacancies and associated Ti3+ and/or Ti4+ centers created by sintering in an atmosphere containing only between 0.01% and 0.1% oxygen. The reduced resistivity prevents DC charge buildup, while the low loss tangent provides good RF/microwave transparency and low losses. The ceramic is suitable for forming RF windows, electron gun cathode insulators, dielectrics, and other components. An exemplary Mg2TiO4—MgTiO3 embodiment includes mixing, grinding, pre-sintering in air, and pressing 99.95% pure MgO and TiO2 powders, re-sintering in air at 1400° C.-1500° C. to reduce porosity, and sintering at 1350° C.-1450° C. for 4 hours in an 0.05% oxygen and 99.05% nitrogen atmosphere. |

| ABSTRACT | In the system and method disclosed, an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip is used to selectively desorb hydrogen atoms from the Si(100)-2X1:H surface by injecting electrons at a negative sample bias voltage. A new lithography method is disclosed that allows the STM to operate under imaging conditions and simultaneously desorb H atoms as required. A high frequency signal is added to the negative sample bias voltage to deliver the required energy for hydrogen removal. The resulted current at this frequency and its harmonics are filtered to minimize their effect on the operation of the STM's feedback loop. This approach offers a significant potential for controlled and precise removal of hydrogen atoms from a hydrogen-terminated silicon surface and thus may be used for the fabrication of practical silicon-based atomic-scale devices. |

| ABSTRACT | In some embodiments, a memory controller in a processor includes a base value cache, a compressor, and a metadata cache. The compressor is coupled to the base value cache and the metadata cache. The compressor compresses a data block using at least a base value and delta values. The compressor determines whether the size of the data block exceeds a data block threshold value. Based on the determination of whether the size of the compressed data block generated by the compressor exceeds the data block threshold value, the memory controller transfers only a set of the compressed delta values to memory for storage. A decompressor located in the lower level cache of the processor decompresses the compressed data block using the base value stored in the base value cache, metadata stored in the metadata cache and the delta values stored in memory. |

| ABSTRACT | A system is described that exhibits the functionality of a beam-splitter, typically an optical device that splits a beam of light in two. In this case, the beams are acoustic pulses and can lead to the creation of a Wannier-Mott exciton: a bound state of an electron and an electron hole whose attraction to each other is maintained by the electrostatic Coulomb force. This exciton beam-splitter is lossy (i.e., involves the dissipation of electrical or electromagnetic energy). Half of the time the exciton is radiated away. Nevertheless, if the exciton is not lost, the exciton is now in a superposition of two states that can be well separated in position. Four such beam-splitters can be used to make an exciton interferometer that uses the interference patterns from the interacting acoustic pulses to extract information. |

| ABSTRACT | The fabrication of robust interfaces between transition metal oxides and non-aqueous electrolytes is one of the great challenges of lithium ion batteries. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of aluminum tungsten fluoride (AlWxFy) improves the electrochemical stability of LiCoO2. AlWxFy thin films were deposited by combining trimethylaluminum and tungsten hexafluoride. in-situ quartz crystal microbalance and transmission electron microscopy studies show that the films grow in a layer-by-layer fashion and are amorphous nature. Ultrathin AlWxFy coatings (<10 Å) on LiCoO2 significantly enhance stability relative to bare LiCoO2 when cycled to 4.4 V. The coated LiCoO2 exhibited superior rate capability (up to 400 mA/g) and discharge capacities at a current of 400 mA/g were 51% and 92% of the first cycle capacities for the bare and AlWxFy coated materials. These results open new possibilities for designing ultrathin and electrochemically robust coatings of metal fluorides via ALD to enhance the stability of Li-ion electrodes. |

The optical signals are multiplexed together into the nonlinear optical medium. The probe experiences a modified index of refraction as it propagates through the medium and thus accumulates a phase change proportional to the intensity of the pump. The disclosed devices can be incorporated into larger components and systems for various applications such as scientific diagnostics, radar, remote sensing, wireless communications, and quantum computing that can benefit from encoding and generation of low noise, high resolution signals. Examples of the encoded information includes intrinsic noise from the optical source, or others signals of interest, such as electrical, optical, X-ray, or high-energy particle signals. |

| ABSTRACT | Conductors for use in heating systems are provided. The conductors are configured to have an extended current path for the current and increased resistance as seen by the current. The heating system may be an induction system. For example, the conductor may comprise a conductive material having a surface which faces an induction coil of an oscillating circuit. This surface may have a predetermined pattern of peaks and valleys. The peaks and valleys form a non-linear current path for the induced current when exposed to an electromagnetic field generated by the oscillating circuit. Other conductors such as a heat pipe may be used. The pipe may have walls with varying thicknesses over its length. The varying thicknesses may include a first thickness and a second thickness which alternate. The heat pipe may be used in an induction or direct contact heating system where AC is directly applied to the pipe. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for decontaminating the outer integument of an animal without transferring contamination to the inner integument of the animal where the hazard can interact with the skin and harm the animal further. The animal has either fur, hair, or feathers and the inner integument is the skin and a skin-hazard material is present on the outer integument (the fur, hair, or feathers). The method uses a first porous dry wipe to sequester the skin-hazard material away from the contaminated animal by either wiping, blotting or rubbing the outer integument of the contaminated animal. The method avoids using free-flowing liquid in contact with the inner integument of the contaminated animal, and does not promote a liquid-phase transfer of the skin-hazard material from the outer integument to the inner integument. |

| ABSTRACT | Converting colloidal systems, such as emulsions, dispersions, and suspensions to powders is highly demanded in a myriad of biomedical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, oil and gas, food, energy, and environmental applications. Handling colloids is typically associated with persistent challenges including bacterial and viral contaminations, lack of terminal sterilization, impaired stability, short shelf life, high processing costs, and difficult packaging and transportation. Current techniques such as freeze-drying and spray-drying have noticeably failed in completely preserving the properties of dispersed phase while removing the continuous phase. The invention disclosed herein provides a new and easy method to convert colloidal systems to powders that are able to readily revive their properties upon resuspension. |

| ABSTRACT | In the system and method disclosed, an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip is used to selectively desorb hydrogen atoms from the Si(100)-2X1:H surface by injecting electrons at a negative sample bias voltage. A new lithography method is disclosed that allows the STM to operate under imaging conditions and simultaneously desorb H atoms as required. A high frequency signal is added to the negative sample bias voltage to deliver the required energy for hydrogen removal. The resulted current at this frequency and its harmonics are filtered to minimize their effect on the operation of the STM's feedback loop. This approach offers a significant potential for controlled and precise removal of hydrogen atoms from a hydrogen-terminated silicon surface and thus may be used for the fabrication of practical silicon-based atomic-scale devices. |

| ABSTRACT | Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond combine exceptional sensitivity with nanoscale spatial resolution by optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR). Infrared (IR)-absorption-based readout of the NV singlet state transition can increase ODMR contrast and collection efficiency. Here, a resonant diamond metallodielectric metasurface amplifies IR absorption by concentrating the optical field near the diamond surface. This plasmonic quantum sensing metasurface (PQSM) supports plasmonic surface lattice resonances and balances field localization and sensing volume to optimize spin readout sensitivity. Combined electromagnetic and rate-equation modeling suggests a near-spin-projection-noise-limited sensitivity below 1 nT Hz−1/2 per m2 of sensing area using numbers for contemporary NV diamond samples and fabrication techniques. The PQSM enables microscopic ODMR sensing with IR readout near the spin-projection-noise-limited sensitivity, making it appealing for imaging through scattering tissues and spatially resolved chemical NMR detection. |

| ABSTRACT | A computing machine receives an input comprising unstructured text. The computing machine identifies, within the unstructured text, one or more entities using a named entity recognition (NER) engine in a trained machine learning model. The trained machine learning model embeds tokens from the text into a vector space and uses generated embeddings to identify one or more tokens as being associated with the one or more entities. The computing machine determines, using the trained machine learning model that identifies the one or more entities and based on the embedded tokens, an assertion applied, within the text, to at least one entity. The assertion is represented as a vector in a multi-dimensional space. Each dimension corresponds to a part of the assertion. The trained machine learning model is a span-level model that both identifies the one or more entities and determines the assertion based on candidate spans of tokens. |

| ABSTRACT | Technology is disclosed herein that the enhances the measurability of on-chip temperature in a cryogenic quantum computing environment. In an implementation, transceiver circuitry sends a probe signal through a target device. A lumped-element resonator device that is proximate to the surface of the target device interacts with the probe signal and modulates the probe signal. Processing circuitry reads the probe signal through the target device, and responsively measures the resonance frequency of the lumped-element resonator device. The processing circuitry correlates the measured resonance frequency with a temperature and responsively determines the temperature of the target device. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to an upper-atmospheric mass density prediction model with robust and reliable uncertainty estimates in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure. The upper-atmospheric mass density model is developed based on the SET HASDM density database. In various embodiments, PCA is used to reduce the spatial dimension of the dataset. The input sets used to train the mass density model contains a time series for the geomagnetic indices. The mass density prediction model is trained to output a mass density map for accurately prediction trajectories of satellites. For example, a likelihood of collision associated with a given object can be determined based at least in part on the mass density map. Analysis of the mass density map along with the likelihood of collision can used to determine a trajectory for the given object in space. |

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

| ABSTRACT | A method for decontaminating the outer integument of an animal without transferring contamination to the inner integument of the animal where the hazard can interact with the skin and harm the animal further. The animal has either fur, hair, or feathers and the inner integument is the skin and a skin-hazard material is present on the outer integument (the fur, hair, or feathers). The method uses a first porous dry wipe to sequester the skin-hazard material away from the contaminated animal by either wiping, blotting or rubbing the outer integument of the contaminated animal. The method avoids using free-flowing liquid in contact with the inner integument of the contaminated animal, and does not promote a liquid-phase transfer of the skin-hazard material from the outer integument to the inner integument. |

| ABSTRACT | Spiral forming methods can be used to join edges of a rolled material along a spiral joint to form conical and/or cylindrical structures. Alignment of the edges of the rolled material can be controlled in a wrapping direction as the material is being joined along the spiral joint to form the structure. By controlling alignment of the edges of the material as the edges of the material are being joined, small corrections can be made over the course of forming the structure facilitating control over geometric tolerances of the resulting spiral formed structure. |

| ABSTRACT | A DC conductive, low RF/microwave loss titanium oxide ceramic provides, at room temperature, a bulk DC resistivity of less than 1×1011 ohm-meters and an RF loss tangent of less than 2×10−4 at 7.5 GHz and less than 2×10−5 at 650 MHz. The resistivity is reduced by oxygen vacancies and associated Ti3+ and/or Ti4+ centers created by sintering in an atmosphere containing only between 0.01% and 0.1% oxygen. The reduced resistivity prevents DC charge buildup, while the low loss tangent provides good RF/microwave transparency and low losses. The ceramic is suitable for forming RF windows, electron gun cathode insulators, dielectrics, and other components. An exemplary Mg2TiO4—MgTiO3 embodiment includes mixing, grinding, pre-sintering in air, and pressing 99.95% pure MgO and TiO2 powders, re-sintering in air at 1400° C.-1500° C. to reduce porosity, and sintering at 1350° C.-1450° C. for 4 hours in an 0.05% oxygen and 99.05% nitrogen atmosphere. |

| ABSTRACT | Technology is disclosed herein that the enhances the measurability of on-chip temperature in a cryogenic quantum computing environment. In an implementation, transceiver circuitry sends a probe signal through a target device. A lumped-element resonator device that is proximate to the surface of the target device interacts with the probe signal and modulates the probe signal. Processing circuitry reads the probe signal through the target device, and responsively measures the resonance frequency of the lumped-element resonator device. The processing circuitry correlates the measured resonance frequency with a temperature and responsively determines the temperature of the target device. |

| ABSTRACT | A tuned mass absorber assembly comprises a mass structure, and a flexure system comprising first and second flexure sections (e.g., cross bar flexures) supported by, and extending in opposing directions from, the mass structure. The flexure system can comprise flexure section mounts situated at distal ends of the first and second flexure sections, respectively, and that are operable to mount the tuned mass absorber assembly to a structure subject to induced vibrations therein. A mass of the mass structure and a stiffness of the flexure system can be tuned to attenuate vibrations at a specific input frequency generated in response to induced vibrations of the structure. A system can comprise a vibration isolator attached to a chassis (e.g., of an airplane), and supporting a payload (sensors(s)) and isolating the payload from vibrations. A tuned mass absorber assembly can be mounted to the vibration isolator for attenuating vibrations at a specific input frequency that may affect the payload. |

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 17, 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.
