ABSTRACT A method for producing an image of at least one vessel with ultrasound includes administering a contrast agent particle into the at least one vessel, and delivering an ultrasound pulse having a first frequency range to the at least one vessel. The method further includes detecting ultrasound energy scattered from the contrast agent particle at a second frequency range that is different from the first frequency range, converting the scattered ultrasound energy into an electronic radio frequency signal, and using an algorithm to determine a spatial location of the contrast agent particle based on extraction of a specific feature of the radio frequency signal. The method further includes generating an image by displaying a marker of the spatial location of the contrast agent particle with a resolution that is finer than a pulse length of the ultrasound pulse and repeating the detecting, converting, using, and generating for a plurality of contrast agent particles until sufficient markers have been accumulated to reconstruct a pattern of the at least one vessel; wherein the pattern is an image of the at least one vessel.

ABSTRACT Autophagy is the principal catabolic response to nutrient starvation. However, excessive autophagy can be cytotoxic or cytostatic, and contribute to cell death, but its mechanism of induction remains elusive. Here, it was demonstrated that prolonged arginine starvation by ADI-PEG20 induced an autophagy-dependent death of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1)-deficient breast cancer cells. Consequently, arginine depleting agents such as ADI-PEG20 may be used in methods for killing one or more argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1)-deficient breast cancer cells. Further, abundance of ASS1 was either low or absent in more than 60% of 149 random breast cancer biosam pies, which could be exploited as candidates for arginine starvation therapy.

ABSTRACT A set of target peptides are presented by HLA A*0201 on the surface of ovarian cancer cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., ovarian cancer, (b) function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T-cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation antibody-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.

ABSTRACT Systems and method for sorting droplets includes a microfluidic chip or substrate having a droplet sorting channel coupled at an upstream location to a droplet inlet channel, the droplet sorting channel coupled at a downstream location to a waste channel and a collection channel. The device includes an optical interrogation device configured to illuminate the droplets passing through the sorting channel with excitation light from an excitation light source and capturing emitted fluorescent light and generating an output signal correlated to the fluorescence of the droplets. An actuator (electrode) is disposed in the microfluidic chip or substrate and coupled to a signal driver (e.g., a high voltage amplifier). The device or system uses a programmable controller configured to receive the output signals from the optical interrogation device and trigger the signal driver to actuate the actuator to direct the droplets into the collection channel.

ABSTRACT Receptor protein kinases (RPTKs) transmit extracellular signals across the plasma membrane to cytosolic proteins, stimulating formation of complexes that regulate key cellular functions. Over 5 half of the known tyrosine kinases are implicated in human cancers and are therefore highly promising drug targets. A large-scale loss-of-function analysis of tyrosine kinases using RNA interference in the clinically relevant Erb-B2 positive, BT474 breast cancer cell line showed that Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a cytosolic, non-receptor tyrosine kinase that has been extensively studied for its role in B cell development, is required, in altered form, for BT474 10 breast cancer survival. This alternative form contains an amino-terminal extension that is also present in tumorigenic breast cells at significantly higher levels than in normal breast cells.

ABSTRACT This disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating TTP based on transfusion of a relatively small number of genetically modified red blood cells. The genetically modified red blood cells express a fusion protein including a fragment of ADAMTS13 that is enzymatically active against von Willebrand factor (VWF). The fragments of ADAMTS13 can be resistant to the inhibitors, e.g., the auto-immune antibodies, which are responsible for the acquired form of TTP.

ABSTRACT Provided herein are methods of delivering “split” Cas9 protein or nucleobase editors into a cell, e.g., via a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV), to form a complete and functional Cas9 protein or nucleobase editor. The Cas9 protein or the nucleobase editor is split into two sections, each fused with one part of an intein system (e.g., intein-N and intein-C encoded by dnaEn and dnaEc, respectively). Upon co-expression, the two sections of the Cas9 protein or nucleobase editor are ligated together via intein-mediated protein splicing. Recombinant AAV vectors and particles for the delivery of the split Cas9 protein or nucleobase editor, and methods of using such AAV vectors and particles are also provided.

ABSTRACT Assays using nanoparticle probes can be used to detect a target oligonucleotide with digital resolution by measuring the peak wavelengths and/or peak intensities of resonantly reflected light from locations on the surface of a photonic crystal (PC). The PC is functionalized with a capture oligonucleotide that binds to a nanoparticle probe that has bound to the target analyte. The binding of the nanoparticle probe to the PC shifts the peak wavelength and reduces the peak intensity of the resonantly reflected light at the binding location. An example nanoparticle probe includes a metallic nanoparticle conjugated to a probe oligonucleotide bound to a protector oligonucleotide. The probe oligonucleotide includes a first portion complementary to the target oligonucleotide and a second portion complementary to the capture oligonucleotide. The target oligonucleotide can bind to the probe oligonucleotide and displace the protector oligonucleotide, which exposes the second portion and enables binding to the capture oligonucleotide.

ABSTRACT A method for evaluating gastric and upper small intestine motility and emptying in a gastrointestinal tract of a subject using magnetic resonance imaging includes administering a contrast agent to the subject; acquiring, using an MRI system, a set of MR data from the subject using a three-dimensional volumetric pulse sequence. The volumetric pulse sequence has a temporal resolution and a spatial resolution configured to facilitate measurement of volumetric and motility parameters. The method further includes reconstructing a set of images using the set of MR data, segmenting each image in the set of images to isolate a region of interest in the gastrointestinal tract of the subject, determining at least one volumetric and motility parameter based on the set of segmented images, and generating a report indicating the at least one volumetric or motility parameter.

ABSTRACT Kinetic monitoring of in vivo metabolism of labelled tracers is based on singular value decomposition or Tucker Decomposition of magnetic resonance spectral image data. Data decomposition is used in conjunction with rank reduction to improve signal-to-noise ratio. Rank reduction can be applied in one or more of a spectral, spatial, or temporal dimension. Rank is generally reduced based on a number of expected analytes/metabolites or fit of measured data to a model.

ABSTRACT Embodiments of the systems can be configured to receive electromagnetic emissions of a substrate (e.g., a build material of a part being made via additive manufacturing) by a detector (e.g., a multi-spectral sensor) and generate a ratio of the electromagnetic emissions to perform spectral analysis with a reduced dependence on location and orientation of a surface of the substrate relative to the multi-spectral sensor. The additive manufacturing process can involve use of a laser to generate a laser beam for fusion of the build material into the part. The system can be configured to set the multi-spectral sensor off-axis with respect to the laser (e.g., an optical path of the multi-spectral sensor is at an angle that is different than the angle of incidence of the laser beam). This can allow the multi-spectral sensor to collect spectral data simultaneously as the laser is used to build the part.

ABSTRACT A multimode clutch assembly is positioned in a powertrain of a rotorcraft. The clutch assembly includes a freewheeling unit having a driving mode in which torque applied to the input race is transferred to the output race and an overrunning mode in which torque applied to the output race is not transferred to the input race. A bypass assembly has an engaged position that couples the input and output races of the freewheeling unit. An actuator assembly shifts the bypass assembly between engaged and disengaged positions. An engagement status sensor is configured to determine the engagement status of the bypass assembly. In the disengaged position, the overrunning mode of the freewheeling unit is enabled such that the clutch assembly is configured for unidirectional torque transfer. In the engaged position, the overrunning mode of the freewheeling unit is disabled such that the clutch assembly is configured for bidirectional torque transfer.

ABSTRACT Receptor protein kinases (RPTKs) transmit extracellular signals across the plasma membrane to cytosolic proteins, stimulating formation of complexes that regulate key cellular functions. Over 5 half of the known tyrosine kinases are implicated in human cancers and are therefore highly promising drug targets. A large-scale loss-of-function analysis of tyrosine kinases using RNA interference in the clinically relevant Erb-B2 positive, BT474 breast cancer cell line showed that Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a cytosolic, non-receptor tyrosine kinase that has been extensively studied for its role in B cell development, is required, in altered form, for BT474 10 breast cancer survival. This alternative form contains an amino-terminal extension that is also present in tumorigenic breast cells at significantly higher levels than in normal breast cells.

ABSTRACT A cycloidal diffractive waveplate based star simulator generates a star field with very high precision star locations and accurate brightness. The present disclosure provides a star simulator that allows for a large FOV, modular, multi-star simulator capable of very high precision dynamic star locations for testing of high accuracy, large FOV star trackers. The system is composed of a light source, a polarization grating-based image [1], and an opto-mechanical system for steering the light. The light is projected onto a diffuse screen where the light is scattered, creating a functional point source at the screen. A star tracker or other device under test views the screen which has a multitude of projected spots (each with its own light source and beam steering device) positioned in a star field distribution appropriate for the simulated viewing direction.

ABSTRACT Certain examples are directed to optical elements or devices that pass or process the light based on a set of connectable metasurface elements having been topology optimized. The connectable metasurface elements are independently optimized or designed to have each section having its own metasurface phase profile corresponding to a desired phase profile. In this way, such devices need not be designed or manufactured by importing a large number of results into simulation efforts, thereby realizing significant saving in terms of optimization time and computational power.

ABSTRACT One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system and method for facilitating a search for a hybrid-manufacturing process plan for manufacturing an object. During operation, the system can obtain a set of partial order constraints constraining the order in which a set of at least two manufacturing actions, corresponding to addition or removal of predefined regions of space, appear in a process plan. The system can constrain, based on the set of partial order constraints, a search space. The search space can correspond to a tree in which the nodes represent the object's state and the edges represent available actions at each node. The system can then determine a set of optimized process plans represented by orderings of the actions, corresponding to paths on the search tree, that produce the desired final state in a cost-effective manner.

ABSTRACT A method for cluster-state quantum computing method includes transforming a Gaussian graph state into a non-Gaussian percolated graph state by probabilistically subtracting one photon from each of a plurality of modes forming the Gaussian graph state. The method also includes determining cat-basis qubits of the non-Gaussian percolated graph state for which one photon was successfully subtracted from a corresponding one of the modes, and identifying in the non-Gaussian percolated graph state a renormalized graph of logical qubits connected by percolation highways. The logical qubits and percolation highways are formed from the cat-basis qubits. The renormalized graph and the non-Gaussian percolated graph state are outputted to a one-way quantum computer to implementing a quantum computing algorithm.

ABSTRACT Materials-by-design is a new paradigm to develop novel high-performance materials. However, finding materials with superior properties is often computationally or experimentally intractable because of the astronomical number of combinations in design spaces. The disclosure is a novel AI-based approach, implemented in a game-theory based generative adversarial neural network (GAN), to bridge the gap between the physical performance and design space. A end-to-end deep learning model predicts physical fields like stress or strain directly from the material geometry and microstructure. The model reaches an astonishing accuracy not only for predicted field data but also for secondary predictions, such as average residual stress at R2˜0.96). Furthermore, the proposed approach offers extensibility by predicting complex materials behavior regardless of shapes, boundary conditions and geometrical hierarchy. The deep learning model demonstrates not only the robustness of predicting multi-physical fields, scalability, and extensibility. The disclosure may alter physical modeling and simulations by incorporating material geometry and boundary conditions into a graphical representation, and vastly improves the efficiency of evaluating physical properties of hierarchical materials directly from the geometry of its structural makeup.

ABSTRACT Electrolyte-infiltrated composite electrode includes an electrolyte component consisting of a polymer matrix with ceramic nanoparticles embedded in the matrix to form a networking structure of electrolyte. Suitable ceramic nanoparticles have the basic formula Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) and its derivatives such as AlxLi7-xLa3Zr2-y-zTayNbzO12 where x ranges from 0 to 0.85, y ranges from 0 to 0.50 and z ranges from 0 to 0.75, wherein at least one of x, y and z is not equal to 0. The networking structure of the electrolyte establishes an effective lithium-ion transport pathway in the electrode and strengthens the contact between electrode layer and solid-state electrolyte resulting in higher lithium-ion electrochemical cell's cycling stability and longer battery life. Sold-state electrolytes incorporating the ceramic particles demonstrate improved performance. Large dimensional electrolyte-infiltrated composite electrode sheets can be used in all solid-state lithium electrochemical pouch cells which can be assembled into battery packs.

ABSTRACT An actuator with a stack of thin layers operates by electrowetting droplets between the layers. The actuator includes a first layer structure and a second layer structure positioned adjacent to the first layer structure. One or more liquid droplets are pinned to one of the layers and are positioned between the layers. The other layer includes electrodes. When the electrodes are energized, they electrostatically attract the liquid droplets to create relative motion between the two layers.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods of correcting errors in encrypted communication between a server and client devices using keyless encryption schemes are disclosed. Client devices with arrays of physical-unclonable-function devices respond to challenges from a server. Characteristics of the arrays are stored by the server during a secure enrollment process. To send an encrypted message, the server generates a message digest, extracts data from the stored arrays on the basis of the message digest, applies error correction codes to the message, encrypts the message with the extracted data, and sends the message to a client. The server may receive a handshake containing all or part of the message digest, measures its PUF, and decrypts and decodes the message.

ABSTRACT Various aspects of the present invention relate to the control and manipulation of fluidic species, for example, in microfluidic systems. In one set of embodiments, droplets may be sorted using surface acoustic waves. The droplets may contain cells or other species. In some cases, the surface acoustic waves may be created using a surface acoustic wave generator such as an interdigitated transducer, and/or a material such as a piezoelectric substrate. The piezoelectric substrate may be isolated front the microfluidic substrate except at or proximate the location where the droplets arc sorted, e.g., into first or second microfluidic channels. At such locations, the microfluidic substrate may be coupled to the piezoelectric substrate (or other material) by one or more coupling regions. In some cases, relatively high sorting rates may be achieved, e.g., at rates of at least about 1,000 Hz, at least about 10,000 Hz, or at least about 100,000 Hz, and in some embodiments, with high cell viability after sorting.

ABSTRACT A flow meter comprises a capillary, a first and second fluid flow marker, and one or more sensors. The capillary has a longitudinally extending fluid receiving space, with a first end and a second end. The first and second fluid flow markers are immiscible and are positioned in the fluid receiving space. The one or more sensors are positioned along the capillary. A method for measuring flow rates comprises the steps of introducing a first liquid into a flow meter. That first liquid flows into the fluid receiving space at the first end of the capillary thereby displacing the first fluid flow marker and the second fluid flow marker towards the second end of the capillary. The interface between the first fluid flow marker and the second fluid flow marker is measured with one or more sensors to determine the flow rate of the first liquid.

ABSTRACT The disclosure relates to methods and systems for the analysis of compounds in a crystalline state and/or undergoing crystallization. Two-dimensional correlation (2DCOS) and co-distribution analysis (2DCDS) analysis plots can be generated and analyzed. Asynchronous plots can aid in establishing a sequential order of events. Positive cross peaks that correlate with auto peaks associated with aggregation can be identified. The auto peaks can be referenced to quickly discern the regions of the molecule most perturbed, which would indicate a driver for the crystallization state of the molecule. One can define which functional group types (e.g., region) are most perturbed (positive, intense auto peak) and observe how the different auto peaks begin to have greatest intensity change. These changes in auto peaks in the synchronous plots for the different stages of crystallization can provide information as to the dynamics of the process from amorphous to crystalline state.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods of correcting errors in encrypted communication between a server and client devices using keyless encryption schemes are disclosed. Client devices with arrays of physical-unclonable-function devices respond to challenges from a server. Characteristics of the arrays are stored by the server during a secure enrollment process. To send an encrypted message, the server generates a message digest, extracts data from the stored arrays on the basis of the message digest, applies error correction codes to the message, encrypts the message with the extracted data, and sends the message to a client. The server may receive a handshake containing all or part of the message digest, measures its PUF, and decrypts and decodes the message.

ABSTRACT Chemical production systems which allow for an optimized carbon footprint are presented. Plasma-based reforming systems may provide a viable alternative to standard chemical production techniques, such systems can reduce the carbon footprint of the chemicals produced. Example systems include the production of synthesis gas (syngas), hydrogen, synthetic hydrocarbon fuels, ammonia, and urea. Reducing the carbon footprint of chemicals such as these is of vital importance to reducing the environmental impact of industries such as transportation and agriculture.

ABSTRACT A method for the manufacture of a three-dimensional object using a refractory matrix material is provided. The method includes the additive manufacture of a green body from a powder-based refractory matrix material followed by densification via chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). The refractory matrix material can be a refractory ceramic (e.g., silicon carbide, zirconium carbide, or graphite) or a refractory metal (e.g., molybdenum or tungsten). In one embodiment, the matrix material is deposited according to a binder-jet printing process to produce a green body having a complex geometry. The CVI process increases its density, provides a hermetic seal, and yields an object with mechanical integrity. The residual binder content dissociates and is removed from the green body prior to the start of the CVI process as temperatures increase in the CVI reactor. The CVI process selective deposits a fully dense coating on all internal and external surfaces of the finished object.

ABSTRACT In one aspect the present disclosure relates to a system for forming a three dimensional (3D) object from a volume of photo-responsive material contained within a material container. A plurality of optical projection subsystems are adapted to be arranged at least partially circumferentially around a material container containing the volume of photo-responsive material, and are controlled by a controller. The optical projection subsystems direct optical projections at a plurality of angles θ through the volume of photo-responsive material. The optical projections are further directed about a z axis extending through the volume of photo-responsive material. The plurality of optical subsystems are further controlled by the controller to provide each of the optical projections with a calculated three-dimensional intensity distribution acting over a fixed temporal exposure period, which is sufficient to at least one of cure or remove selected portions of the volume of photo-responsive material, and leave other portions unmodified, to form a desired 3D part.

ABSTRACT A saline feed stream flows into a liquid-liquid extraction system; and a volatile organic solvent flows through a main compressor. The compressed volatile organic solvent then flows through a solvent regenerator, which can be a heat exchanger or a combination of a vaporization device and a condenser, to cool the volatile organic solvent. The cooled volatile organic solvent in liquid phase then flows into the liquid-liquid extraction system, where the saline feed stream contacts the volatile organic solvent to selectively extract water from the saline feed stream into the volatile organic solvent, producing a concentrated brine and an organic-rich mixture of water and the volatile organic solvent. The organic-rich mixture flows from the liquid-liquid extraction system into the solvent regenerator, where the organic-rich mixture is heated to produce an organic-rich vapor and desalinated water; and the organic-rich vapor is recycled as volatile organic solvent back into the liquid-liquid extraction system.

ABSTRACT A compression ignition engine system allows use of hydrous fuels, in particular hydrous biofuels, with high water content (e.g., 20-85% water). The hydrous fuel is pressurized, and also preferably heated via the engine's exhaust gas, to increase its enthalpy, and is then directly injected into the engine cylinder(s) near top dead center. The system provides brake thermal efficiency increases of 20% or more versus a comparable system using conventional diesel fuel, while allowing the use of inexpensive undistilled or lightly distilled biofuels.

ABSTRACT Redox gating, intrinsically apart from conventional electrolyte gating, combines reversible redox functionalities with common ionic electrolyte moieties to engineer charge transport for power efficient phase control. A colossal sheet carrier density modulation beyond 1016/cm2 as well as up to thousand durable cycling can be reached at the subvolt regime in archetypical functional oxide thin films without unbridled perturbations from ionic defects, which include either cation/anion vacancy or ionic intercalated species like proton. Besides, the redox gating represents a simply and practical way to decouple the electrical and structural phase transitions, improving the device longevity and operation response time. The redox gating works for a wide variety of materials regardless of its crystallinity or crystallographic orientation, including all other functional heterostructures and low-dimensional quantum materials composed of sustainable elements.

ABSTRACT Methods and apparatus for efficient topology-aware tree search algorithm for a broadcast operation. A broadcast tree for a broadcast operation in a network having a hierarchical structure including nodes logically partitioned at group and switch levels. Lists of visited nodes (vnodes) and unvisited nodes (unodes) are initialized. Beginning at a root node, search iterations are performed in a progressive manner to build the tree, wherein a given search iteration finds a unode that can be reached earliest from a vnode, moves the unode that is found from the unode list to the vnode list and adds new unodes to the unode list based on the location of the unode. Beginning with the switch the root node is connected to, the algorithm progressively adds nodes from other switches in the root group and then from other groups and switches within those other groups and continues until all nodes have been visited.

ABSTRACT Chemical production systems which allow for an optimized carbon footprint are presented. Plasma-based reforming systems may provide a viable alternative to standard chemical production techniques, such systems can reduce the carbon footprint of the chemicals produced. Example systems include the production of synthesis gas (syngas), hydrogen, synthetic hydrocarbon fuels, ammonia, and urea. Reducing the carbon footprint of chemicals such as these is of vital importance to reducing the environmental impact of industries such as transportation and agriculture. In many of the embodiments a secondary product is produced, the sale of this secondary product may make the primary low-carbon footprint chemical more economical. In many cases the secondary product is carbon, methods of sequestering this carbon via reverse mining and enhanced oil and gas recovery are presented.

ABSTRACT Electrolyte-infiltrated composite electrode includes an electrolyte component consisting of a polymer matrix with ceramic nanoparticles embedded in the matrix to form a networking structure of electrolyte. Suitable ceramic nanoparticles have the basic formula Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) and its derivatives such as AlxLi7-xLa3Zr2-y-zTayNbzO12 where x ranges from 0 to 0.85, y ranges from 0 to 0.50 and z ranges from 0 to 0.75, wherein at least one of x, y and z is not equal to 0. The networking structure of the electrolyte establishes an effective lithium-ion transport pathway in the electrode and strengthens the contact between electrode layer and solid-state electrolyte resulting in higher lithium-ion electrochemical cell's cycling stability and longer battery life. Sold-state electrolytes incorporating the ceramic particles demonstrate improved performance. Large dimensional electrolyte-infiltrated composite electrode sheets can be used in all solid-state lithium electrochemical pouch cells which can be assembled into battery packs.

ABSTRACT A flow meter comprises a capillary, a first and second fluid flow marker, and one or more sensors. The capillary has a longitudinally extending fluid receiving space, with a first end and a second end. The first and second fluid flow markers are immiscible and are positioned in the fluid receiving space. The one or more sensors are positioned along the capillary. A method for measuring flow rates comprises the steps of introducing a first liquid into a flow meter. That first liquid flows into the fluid receiving space at the first end of the capillary thereby displacing the first fluid flow marker and the second fluid flow marker towards the second end of the capillary. The interface between the first fluid flow marker and the second fluid flow marker is measured with one or more sensors to determine the flow rate of the first liquid.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods of routing a data communication across a network having a plurality switches are provided by monitoring the operation of the plurality of global links to determine which of the plurality of global links provide working paths. A routing table indicative of a status for the plurality of links is maintained, where the routing table provides weighting for each of the working paths. When routing, a link using a weighted pseudo-random selection from the choices available in the routing table is selected. Routing along one of the working paths commensurate with the selected link is performed, and the weighting is updated based upon the operation of the plurality of links.

ABSTRACT The present invention relates to an Fe—S fusion protein acting as an electron transport chain, a novel carbon monoxide:formate oxidoreductase (CFOR) including the Fe—S fusion protein, novel Thermococcus strain BCF12 transformed with CFOR, and the use thereof. According to the present invention, two different enzymes may be physically linked directly to each other through the Fe—S fusion protein of the present invention, and thus electrons generated from any one enzyme may be transported directly to another enzyme through the Fe—S cluster of the Fe—S fusion protein. Accordingly, a reaction that produces a target substance with high efficiency by directly supplying electrons necessary for the production of the target substance is possible without leakage of electrons generated in any one enzyme. In addition, the present invention has an advantage in that the overall enzyme reaction rate and yield can be dramatically improved using a new electron transport reaction. Furthermore, it is possible to ensure the stability of each enzyme by allowing the enzymes to exist in a physically fixed state in cells.

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, July 07, 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.
