| ABSTRACT | A passive MRI enhancing embodiment includes a plurality of resonators and increases signal-to-noise ratio of radiofrequency signals emitted by a specimen and captured by an MRI machine. The apparatus increases the magnetic field component of radiofrequency energy during signal transmission from the MRI machine to the specimen, and/or reception of signals from the specimen to the MRI machine. Use of the apparatus improves the images generated by the MRI machine, and/or reduces the time necessary for the MRI machine to capture the image. An isolator embodiment has a nonlinear resonator controllably configurable alternately into an isolation configuration and a transmission configuration, and a second resonator. The nonlinear resonator is coupled to a communications port and is substantially communicatively isolated from the second resonator when the nonlinear resonator is in the isolation configuration, and is communicatively coupled to the second resonator when the nonlinear resonator is in the transmission configuration. |

| ABSTRACT | Presentation of membrane proteins to host immune systems has been a challenging problem due to complexity arising from the poor in vivo stability of the membrane-mimetic media often used for solubilizing the membrane proteins. The Inventors report the use of functionalized, biocompatible nanoparticles as substrates to guide the formation of proteoliposomes that can present many copies of membrane proteins in a unidirectional manner. The approach was demonstrated to present the membrane-proximal region of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein. These nanoparticle-supported liposomes are broadly applicable as membrane antigen vehicles for inducing host immune responses. In some instances, the technology supports generation of antibodies that do not generate an immunogenic response in comparison to conventional protein presentation (i.e., liposome). |

| ABSTRACT | This invention establishes a new paradigm for treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) by eliminating senescent cells that reside in or around the site of the disease pathophysiology. Exposure of test subjects to the herbicide paraquat (PQ) increases the risk for developing Parkinson's disease. The data in this disclosure show that PQ induces a senescence arrest and SASP in astrocytes, in culture and in vivo in mice, and senescent cell markers were present in astrocytes in midbrain tissue from PD patients. In a transgenic mouse model, senescent cell ablation protected against PQ-induced PD-like neuropathology. Removal of senescent cells from affected sites using small molecule agents that specifically target senescent cells can help prevent or ameliorate signs and symptoms of the disease. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing the risk and severity of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci infection or colonization. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that a restricted fraction of the gut microbiota, including the bacteria Clostridium scindens and/or the bacteria Blautia producta contribute substantially to resistance against vancomycin-resistant Enterococci infection or colonization. Without being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that this is achieved through the biosynthesis of secondary bile acids in the case of Clostridium scindens. |

| ABSTRACT | An approach for modifying multiple types of bacteria to produce surface modifications that enhance the immunologic response when used as a vaccine. A series of plasmids (pYF, pYFC, pYFP, pSF, pSPF, and pSCF) may be used to transform bacteria which then produce surface-exposed ligands that bind to complement receptors on antigen presenting cells. When modified bacteria are used as a vaccine, the vaccine recipients produce significantly higher titers of specific antibodies and are better protected against challenges from the disease-causing bacteria. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein is a fully flexible photonic platform based on a high density, flexible array of ultra-compact optical waveguides composed of biocompatible polymers Parylene C and PDMS. The photonic platform features unique embedded input/output micro-mirrors that redirect light from the waveguides perpendicularly to the surface of the array for localized, patterned illumination in tissue. This architecture enables the design of a fully flexible, compact integrated photonic system to realize an implantable, wearable or on-chip photonic platform for application such as in vivo chronic optogenetic stimulation of brain activity. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides activatable binding polypeptides (ABPs), which contain a target binding moiety (TBM), a masking moiety (MM), and a cleavable moiety (CM). The present disclosure provides activatable antibody compositions, which contain a TBM containing an antigen binding domain (ABD), a MM and a CM. Furthermore the present disclosure also provides ABPs which contain a first TBM, a second TBM and a CM. The ABPs exhibit an “activatable” conformation such that at least one of the TBMs is less accessible to target when uncleaved than after cleavage of the CM in the presence of a cleaving agent capable of cleaving the CM. The disclosure further provides libraries of candidate ABPs, methods of screening to identify such ABPs, and methods of use. The disclosure further provides ABPs having TBMs that bind VEGF, CTLA-4, or VCAM, ABPs having a first TBM that binds VEGF and a second TBM that binds FGF, as well as compositions and methods of use. |

| ABSTRACT | The present application relates to an assay method using affinity crosslinking of DNA-linked ligands to proteins to enable small molecule screening and determination of apparent affinity constants of ligands to the proteins. This method has been applied to determine 96 compounds' dissociation constants to a protein target simultaneously, and directly determine a compound's IC50 against five protein targets concurrently in crude cell lysates. Additionally, this approach was used to screen a Library of Pharmacologically Active Compounds (LOPAC) library against dihydrofolate reductase (eDHFR), enabling the discovery of a novel eDHFR inhibitor (IC50=7.9 μM). An assay kit and the method of uses are within the scope of this disclosure. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein is a system for 3D proton imaging encompassing both proton radiography (pRad) and proton CT (pCT). The disclosed system can reduce range uncertainties, while providing a fast and efficient check of patient set up and integrated range along a beam's eye view just before treatment. The disclosed system provides a complete solution to the range inaccuracy problem in proton therapy, substantially reducing the uncertainties of treatment planning by directly measuring relative stopping power without being affected by image artifacts and with much lower dose to the patient than comparable x-ray images. Also described herein is a proton imaging algorithm for prompt iterative 3D pCT image reconstruction, where each iteration is fast and efficient, and the number of iterations is minimized. The method offers a unique solution that optimally fits different protons and does not depend on the starting point for the first iteration. |

| ABSTRACT | An approach for modifying multiple types of bacteria to produce surface modifications that enhance the immunologic response when used as a vaccine. A series of plasmids (pYF, pYFC, pYFP, pSF, pSPF, and pSCF) may be used to transform bacteria which then produce surface-exposed ligands that bind to complement receptors on antigen presenting cells. When modified bacteria are used as a vaccine, the vaccine recipients produce significantly higher titers of specific antibodies and are better protected against challenges from the disease-causing bacteria. |

| ABSTRACT | Ready armor modular protective systems that can be rapidly deployed in an urban environment. Exemplary armor systems include a container, and a wall assembly that fits inside of the container when in a collapsed configuration. The wall assembly includes a first end section, a second end section, a constraint mechanism, and first and second locking mechanisms. The first end section has a first space frame unit, and the second end section has second and third space frame units. A locking mechanism prevent relative vertical displacement from occurring between adjacent second and third space frame units. The constraint mechanism keeps the first and third space frame units at a fixed distance from one another. The constraint mechanism, when coupled with the first and third space frame units, keeps the locking mechanism from being removed from the second end section. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods use a tunable notch filter for constructing a spectral map of electromagnetic radiation in a selected spectral band that is incident on a notch filter for a plurality of time periods. Electromagnetic radiation is passed by an electronically tuned notch filter to a detector array for the plurality of selected time periods, and the detector response is determined. For at least a first selected time period the notch filter is tuned to selectively attenuate the passing of one or more selected sub-bands of electromagnetic radiation in the selected spectral band. Information about the selectively attenuated radiation is determined and used along with information about the radiation passed to the detector array for each time period to construct a spectral map. Electronically tunable notch filters may be made with metamaterials such as patterned graphene. |

| ABSTRACT | A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for incremental and decentralized pruning of a machine learning model in federated learning. A federated learning system determines a serial sequence of participating in model pruning by agents in the federated learning system. A server in the federated learning system sends, to a first agent in the serial sequence, an initial model to trigger a federated pruning process for the machine learning model. The each of agents in the serial sequence prunes the machine learning model. The each of agents in the serial sequence generates an intermediately pruned model for an immediately next agent to prune. A final agent in the serial sequence prunes the machine learning model and generates a finally pruned model. The final agent sends the finally pruned model to the server. |

| ABSTRACT | Program managers are responsible for assessing computer-based models used in their programs. No mechanism exists to evaluate models so current or potential users can assess their utility. The Model Maturity Level (MML) assessment process and tool is an objective method to assess the state of development of any model at a point in time. The process assigns an overall MML from 1 to 9—the lowest score among objective criteria based on attributes that users require in models. The assessment relies upon objective evidence (artifacts) showing that model attributes have been developed and proven through rigorous, industry-standard processes. The assessment includes a description of the model, the assessment rubric, and a summary of results. The MML concept and tool are based on previous work at NASA and DOE, plus other work in the scholarly literature. MMLs are analogous to the DoD's technology readiness levels (TRLs) for ease of translation. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional electrochemical lithium battery includes forming a first electrode on an underlying layer comprising aerosolizing a first ink formulation comprising a slurry including nanoparticles or microparticles of a first active material and a binder, and depositing the slurry onto the underlying layer to form a first electrode layer. A permeable separator layer is formed on the first electrode by aerosolizing a polymer precursor solution, exposing the aerosolized polymer precursor solution to a first activating radiation source to form partially cured polymer spheres in the aerosolized stream, focusing and directing the aerosolized stream onto a substrate to form the permeable separator layer of the partially cured polymer spheres, and exposing the partially cured polymer spheres on the substrate to a second activating radiation source to fully cure the partially cured polymer spheres. A second electrode is formed on the permeable separator layer by aerosolizing a second ink formulation comprising a slurry including nanoparticles or microparticles of a second active material and a binder, and depositing the slurry onto the permeable separator layer. |

| ABSTRACT | Parametrically pumped four-wave mixing is a key building block for many developments in the field of superconducting quantum information processing. However, undesired frequency shifts such as Kerr, cross-Ken and Stark shifts inherent with four-wave mixing, lead to difficulties in tuning up the desired parametric processes and, for certain applications, severely limit the fidelities of the resulting operations. Some embodiments include a Josephson four-wave mixing device consisting of a SQUID transmon coupled to a half-flux biased SNAIL transmon, a.k.a. capacitively shunted flux qubit. When the two transmon have matching frequencies, an interference effect cancels the negative Kerr of the SQUID transmon with the positive Kerr of the SNAIL transmon while preserving parametric four-wave mixing capabilities. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system for sampling a solid sample material can include the step of mounting the sample material on a support. A sample surface is coated with a surface treatment composition in a dry deposition process. A solvent supply conduit for supplying solvent to the sample surface and a solvent exhaust conduit for withdrawing solvent from the sample surface can be provided. Solvent is flowed from the solvent supply conduit to the surface treatment composition and the sample surface such that the solvent contacts the surface treatment composition. A laser beam is directed from a laser source to the sample and the surface treatment composition. The laser beam will ablate the sample and the surface treatment composition in portions intersected by the laser beam. Ablated sample material enters the solvent liquid and will be transported with the solvent away from the sample surface through the solvent exhaust conduit. |

| ABSTRACT | A series tee splitter comprises a primary electromagnetic transmission line and a secondary electromagnetic transmission line that is placed in a series path with the primary electromagnetic transmission line, wherein a load is attached to the end of the secondary electromagnetic transmission line and a network analyzer is connected to opposite ends of the primary electromagnetic transmission line to measure a load impedance. This configuration increases the high impedance measurement limit of the network analyzer normally seen for reflection measurements. The series tee splitter can be electrically small to provide broadband impedance information. |

| ABSTRACT | An electronic device includes a processor having a micro-operation queue, multiple scheduler entries, and scheduler compression logic. When a pair of micro-operations in the micro-operation queue is compressible in accordance with one or more compressibility rules, the scheduler compression logic acquires the pair of micro-operations from the micro-operation queue and stores information from both micro-operations of the pair of micro-operations into different portions in a single scheduler entry. In this way, the scheduler compression logic compresses the pair of micro-operations into the single scheduler entry. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing masked fault detection for reliable low voltage cache operation are disclosed. A processor includes a cache that can operate at a relatively low voltage level to conserve power. However, at low voltage levels, the cache is more likely to suffer from bit errors. To mitigate the bit errors occurring in cache lines at low voltage levels, the cache employs a strategy to uncover masked faults during runtime accesses to data by actual software applications. For example, on the first read of a given cache line, the data of the given cache line is inverted and written back to the same data array entry. Also, the error correction bits are regenerated for the inverted data. On a second read of the given cache line, if the fault population of the given cache line changes, then the given cache line's error protection level is updated. |

| ABSTRACT | According to various embodiments, a system for using magnetic reconnection to accelerate plasma is disclosed. The system includes a pair of electrodes including two concentric rings separated by an electrode gap and held at different electrostatic potential by applying a voltage to generate an inter-electrode electric field. The system further includes a plurality of magnetic coils configured to produce magnetic field lines that connect the pair of electrodes. The system additionally includes a gas injector configured to inject gas into the electrode gap, the injected gas being partially ionized by the inter-electrode electric field to generate a poloidal current that flows along open magnetic field lines across the electrode gap. A total Lorentz force causes oppositely directed magnetic field lines to be expanded around a region of the gas injector to further create an azimuthal current in the form of an axially elongated current sheet that is unstable such that the axially elongated current sheet reconnects and breaks into plasmoids. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention generally relates to systems and methods for the formation and/or control of fluidic species, and articles produced by such systems and methods. In some cases, the invention involves unique fluid channels, systems, controls, and/or restrictions, and combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, the invention allows fluidic streams (which can be continuous or discontinuous, i.e., droplets) to be formed and/or combined, at a variety of scales, including microfluidic scales. In one set of embodiments, a fluidic stream may be produced from a channel, where a cross-sectional dimension of the fluidic stream is smaller than that of the channel, for example, through the use of structural elements, other fluids, and/or applied external fields, etc. In some cases, a Taylor cone may be produced. In another set of embodiments, a fluidic stream may be manipulated in some fashion, for example, to create tubes (which may be hollow or solid), droplets, nested tubes or droplets, arrays of tubes or droplets, meshes of tubes, etc. In some cases, droplets produced using certain embodiments of the invention may be charged or substantially charged, which may allow their further manipulation, for instance, using applied external fields. Non-limiting examples of such manipulations include producing charged droplets, coalescing droplets (especially at the microscale), synchronizing droplet formation, aligning molecules within the droplet, etc. In some cases, the droplets and/or the fluidic streams may include colloids, cells, therapeutic agents, and the like. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides methods for freeform extrusion-based additive manufacturing via a robotic arm. In specific aspects, methods are particularly provided for minimally invasive, intracorporeal three-dimensional printing of biocompatible materials. An end effector of a robotic arm includes a sharp member and a reservoir filled with a printing material. The provided method may include piercing a substrate with the sharp member. A bulb or microbolus of material may be extruded beneath the substrate surface to act as an anchor. The end effector may be manipulated to extrude biomaterial along a printing path. Periodically along the printing path, the sharp member is used to pierce the substrate surface create additional respective anchors. In some instances, the method may terminate after extruding material to form a single layer construct. In other instances, the method includes forming one or more layers on top of the initial base layer anchored to the substrate. |

| ABSTRACT | Parametrically pumped four-wave mixing is a key building block for many developments in the field of superconducting quantum information processing. However, undesired frequency shifts such as Kerr, cross-Ken and Stark shifts inherent with four-wave mixing, lead to difficulties in tuning up the desired parametric processes and, for certain applications, severely limit the fidelities of the resulting operations. Some embodiments include a Josephson four-wave mixing device consisting of a SQUID transmon coupled to a half-flux biased SNAIL transmon, a.k.a. capacitively shunted flux qubit. When the two transmon have matching frequencies, an interference effect cancels the negative Kerr of the SQUID transmon with the positive Kerr of the SNAIL transmon while preserving parametric four-wave mixing capabilities. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure describes systems and methods for mapping a planar surface to a curved surface. One such method comprises providing a planar lattice pattern having identical regular polygon shapes which can be truss support modules for supporting a curved surface structure. Method further include determining respective positions of the nodal points of the identical polygon shapes by placing a starting nodal point on an axis of symmetry of the planar lattice pattern and iteratively positioning each nodal point in relation to already placed neighboring nodes to make a distance between a currently positioned nodal point optimally close with a set value of the planar lattice pattern. Method still further comprises forming a curved lattice pattern of the truss support module based on the positions of the nodal points of the identical polygon shapes. |

| ABSTRACT | A lockout device for an opening of a collection box, such as a postal collection box. The lockout device can include a cover sized to block the opening to prevent access to the contents of the collection box through the opening. In one example, the cover can be assembled over the opening and a locking pin can be inserted through apertures in the lateral sides of the opening walls and lateral sides of the cover. The locking pin can be lock in place using a lock and lock guard. In another example, the cover includes an internal extension assembly with clamping mechanisms that can engage with the lateral sides of the opening. |

| ABSTRACT | An embodiment of the invention may include a method of forming a device and the resulting structure. The method may include forming a first conductive pattern on a first surface of a substrate. The method may include depositing a first conformal layer on the first surface of the substrate and the first conductive pattern. The method may include planarizing the first conformal layer so that a top surface of the first conductive pattern is substantially planar to a top surface of the first conformal layer. The method may include forming a first electrical component on the top surface of the first conformal layer in contact with the first conductive pattern. This may enable wiring on different levels as the electrical components, while allowing the first electrical component to be built on a substantially planar surface. |

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 31, 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:
