ABSTRACT The use of neddylation inhibitors to treat immune related conditions is described. Dysregulated immune and inflammatory responses underlie a number of conditions, including multiple sclerosis. Neddylation is involved in processes underlying the activation, activity, and proliferation of immune cells that drive these conditions, including CD4+ T cells. Inhibition of neddylation thus provides a target for intervention to prevent and treat such conditions. Inhibition of E1 NEDD8 activating enzymes, such as NAE may be utilized in treatment, for example by pevonedistat or other NAE inhibitors.

ABSTRACT The presently disclosed subject matter provides cells and compositions for improved immunotherapy and methods of using such cells and compositions. It relates to cells comprising a ligand-recognizing receptor (e.g., an antigen-recognizing receptor, e.g., a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or a T-cell Receptor (TCR)) and an IgG-degrading enzyme or a fragment thereof. The IgG-degrading enzyme rapidly cleaves IgG. The IgG-degrading enzyme serves as a biomolecular shield against the host humoral response. The cells have increased resistance to host humoral response (e.g., an antibody-driven host humoral response), which allows for prolonged persistence of the cells, leading to enhanced activity of the cells.

ABSTRACT Naturally-derived biopolymers, such as proteins and polysaccharides are a promising platform for developing materials that readily adhere to tissues upon chemical crosslinking and provide a regenerative microenvironment. Here, we show that the sealing properties of a model biopolymer sealant, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), can be precisely controlled by adding a small amount of a synthetic polymer with identically reactive moieties, i.e., poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEG DA). For example, we have discovered a more than 300% improvement in tissue sealing capability of 20% (w/v) GelMA adhesive can be obtained by adding only 2-3% (v/v) PEGDA, without any significant effect on the sealant degradation time scale. These hybrid hydrogels with improved sealing properties are suitable for sealing stretchable organs, such as bladder, as well as for the anastomosis of tubular tissues/organs.

ABSTRACT A multilayered microfluidic chip integrating separation channels and a common piezoelectric pump dispensing to a blotting membrane is described. A top layer with separation channels is connected with vias through a middle layer to a nozzle area in a bottom layer that has a piezoelectric pump. Because each via is very near a separate orifice in the bottom layer, the buffer fluid in the bottom layer will quickly dispense analyte emerging from the via. The analyte is pumped out of the orifice carried by the buffer fluid. A common reservoir of buffer fluid, connected with the pump membrane, is used. Electrodes may be placed near the entrance of each separation channel and share a terminating electrode in the common reservoir.

ABSTRACT Disclosed herein is a series of helical sulfono-γ-AApeptides that mimic the binding mode of the α-helical HD2 domain of B-Cell Lymphoma 9 (BCL9). As disclosed herein, sulfono-γ-AApeptides can structurally and functionally mimic the α-helical domain of BCL9, and selectively disrupt β-catenin/BCL9 PPIs with even higher potency. More intriguingly, these sulfono-γ-AApeptides can enter cancer cells, bind with β-catenin and disrupt β-catenin/BCL PPI, and exhibit excellent cellular activity, which is much more potent than the BCL9 peptide. Furthermore, enzymatic stability studies demonstrated the remarkable stability of the helical sulfono-γ-AApeptides, with no degradation in the presence of pronase for 24 h, augmenting their biological potential.

ABSTRACT The invention disclosed herein provides methods and materials useful in gene therapy regimens designed to inhibit myelination abnormalities that occur in the urea cycle disorder arginase deficiency. The underlying cause of the progressive neurological dysfunction that occurs in this disorder has been previously unknown and conventional therapies, at best, only slow the onset of neurological dysfunction. This neurological dysfunction results at least in part from the dysmyelination that occurs in the central nervous system due to the lack of adequate hepatic expression of arginase 1. We have discovered an origin of this neurological dysfunction and, using this information, designed materials and associated methods of gene therapy. The methods and materials disclosed herein can inhibit and essentially prevent neurological dysfunction in a murine model of arginase deficiency.

ABSTRACT We queried DNA from saliva or plasma of 93 HNSCC patients, searching for somatic mutations or human papillomavirus genes, collectively referred to as tumor DNA. When both plasma and saliva were tested, tumor DNA was detected in 96% (95% CI, 84% to 99%) of 47 patients. The fractions of patients with detectable tumor DNA in early- and late-stage disease were 100% (n=10) and 95% (n=37), respectively. Saliva is preferentially enriched for tumor DNA from the oral cavity, whereas plasma is preferentially enriched for tumor DNA from the other sites. Tumor DNA in the saliva and plasma is a valuable biomarker for detection of HNSCC.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for generating neuroprotective and cardioprotective nutrition programs are described herein. These neuroprotective and cardioprotective nutrition programs are especially applicable for patients at risk of cardiac arrest (e.g. due to hypoxia or ischemia of the brain or other body parts). The programs may feature caloric restriction, for example, short-term caloric restriction. The programs may be generated or iteratively modified based on the hemodynamic and metabolic state of the patient's brain, limbs, or other tissues or organs. Dynamic feedback about the patient's hemodynamic and metabolic state may be provided by techniques including, but not limited to, optical technology for quantitatively and noninvasively measuring blood flow, oxygenation, metabolic rate of oxygen, and perfusion/metabolism ratio in the brain, limbs, or other tissues or organs. The systems described herein may also induce spreading depolarization and repolarization at specific times during or after cardiac arrest based on the patient's cerebral metabolic state.

ABSTRACT Imaging by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) requires that a sample be encased in an amorphous solid, such as amorphous ice. In current cryo-EM preparation systems, once the sample has been deposited on an EM grid and coated in the amorphous solid, the EM grid must be removed from vacuum and then transferred into the vacuum of the cryo-EM system. As a result, samples deposited on the grid are exposed to damage and contamination. The present invention provides improved EM grid handling systems and devices compatible with advanced cryo-EM sample preparation techniques and which reduce or eliminate exposure of the sample on the grid to atmosphere and elevated temperatures. These methods and devices will also significantly reduce handling time and complexities associated with cryo-EM sample preparation.

ABSTRACT An apparatus that facilitates search and rescue, for example, in open water. The apparatus comprises a substrate with a particular geometry and a perimeter. The apparatus further comprises a cover positioned atop the substrate with the cover also having a particular geometry and perimeter, which correspond to the geometry and perimeter of the substrate. An air-tight seal seals the substrate perimeter to the cover perimeter and creates a sealed internal region. A liquid-releasable vessel holding an illuminable dye located in the sealed internal region, along with an activator that is also located in the sealed internal region. When the liquid-releasable vessel releases the illuminable dye, the illuminable dye reacts with the activator, thereby resulting in illumination of the illuminable dye. The liquid-releasable vessel comprises an opening with a release mechanism (e.g., clamp, etc.).

ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a microfluidic flow process for making monomers, monomers made by such processes, and methods of using such monomers. In such process, microfluidic reaction technology is used to synthesize cyanation reaction products orders of magnitude faster than is possible in batch and continuous syntheses. The aforementioned process does require strictly regulated, highly toxic cyanogen chloride. Thus the aforementioned process is more economically efficient and reduces the environmental impact of thermosetting resin monomer production, and produces thermosetting resin monomers in greater purity than obtained through typical processes.

ABSTRACT A strain sensor includes a flexible substrate and a circuit disposed on the flexible substrate. The circuit includes an inductance to receive an excitation signal, the circuit being configured to generate a radio frequency response to the excitation signal via the inductance. The circuit includes an elongated trace coupled to the inductance and configured to bend and stretch longitudinally upon deformation of the flexible substrate. The elongated trace includes a non-uniformity configured such that the elongated trace deforms and tears at the non-uniformity and exhibits a non-linear increase in resistance as a tensile strain to which the elongated trace is subjected reaches a strain threshold. The non-linear increase in resistance modifies a characteristic of the radio frequency response of the circuit.

ABSTRACT A method for photoresist-free photolithography to pattern a surface of conductor or semiconductor substrate and deposit a material includes surface cleaning and irradiating a surface through a mask with VUV photons from a lamp. Photons are generated with a VUV lamp having a wavelength of 160 nm-200 nm and with an intensity sufficient to alter the surface. The photons are directed through a mask pattern to alter the surface chemistry or structure in those areas of the substrate defined by the mask. Material is selectively deposited onto the surface, in those portions of the surface that are exposed to the VUV photons, or unexposed to the VUV photons, depending on the substrate surface. A method uses a seed film and then electroplates metal onto the seed film in the mask pattern. A method provides for electroless deposition of metal and another for altering surface chemistry in the mask pattern.

ABSTRACT In a general aspect, a photonic quantum network is disclosed. In some implementations, microwave modes and optical modes are generated on first and second quantum processing units (QPUs) by operation of a first transducer device of the first QPU and a second transducer device of the second QPU. The microwave modes are transmitted within the first and second QPUs from the first and second transducer devices to respective first and second qubit devices. The optical modes are transmitted from the first and second QPUs to an interferometer device. By operation of the interferometer device, output signals are generated on respective output channels based on the optical modes from the first and second QPUs. Based on the output signals detected by operation of photodetector devices coupled to the respective output channels, quantum entanglement transferred to the first and second qubit devices by the microwave modes is identified.

ABSTRACT A dual-drive power amplifier (PA) where the PA core includes a differential pair of transistors M1 and M2 that are driven by a coupling network having two transmission-line couplers, where a first transmission line section of a coupler is configured to transmit an input signal Vin through to drive a gate of the opposite transistor, while the second transmission line section is grounded at one end and coupled with the first transmission line section such that a coupled portion aVin of the input signal Vin drives the source terminal of a corresponding transistor. The arrangement of the coupling network allows the source terminals to be driven below ground potential. Embodiments disclosed here further provide an input matching network, a driver, an inter-stage matching network, and an output network for practical implementation of the PA core.

ABSTRACT A system simulator simulates operations of a plurality of interconnected devices in a simulation of a computing system. The system simulator implements a communication runtime in the simulation to receive a packet generated by a simulation of a first one of the plurality of devices to be sent to a simulation of a second one of the plurality of devices in the simulation. The communication runtime buffers the packet in its internal buffer and receives a query from the simulation of the second device based on buffer capacity in the simulation of the second device has capacity. The packet is sent from the communication runtime buffer to the simulation of the second device based on the query to simulate transmission of the packet from the first device to the second device on a link.

ABSTRACT A heterogeneous catalyst for substrate-directed hydrogenation includes bimetallic nanoparticles of M1-M2, wherein M1 is a noble metal and M2 is a first-row transition metal. The bimetallic nanoparticles are on a substrate and atoms of both the noble metal and the first-row transition metal are distributed across surfaces of the bimetallic nanoparticles. The heterogeneous catalyst may be produced by providing M1-M2 bimetallic nanoparticles on a substrate to produce an intermediate composition, and performing a reduction process on the intermediate composition such that atoms of both the noble metal (M1) and the first-row transition metal (M2) are distributed across surfaces of the bimetallic nanoparticles and thereby form the heterogeneous catalyst. The catalyst may be used for performing directed hydrogenation of a substrate.

ABSTRACT A transceiver apparatus for maximizing voltage. A voltage booster or transformer is implemented using piezoelectric thin films in substrates, preferably CMOS substrates where active processing of RF signals can lead to highly integrated and inexpensive ICs. The voltage gain is achieved by cascading multiple transducers, formed in the same piezoelectric thin film, or films cascaded in series on top of each other. An array of transducers are connected in parallel or series, connected to the input or output port electrodes. Other approaches include placing the receive transformer in a location where the diffracting field from the transmitter transducer is incident on the receive transducer generating a higher ultrasonic field at the receive transformer and increasing the voltage is to connect an array of transducers, formed in the same layer, or different layers of piezoelectric layer in parallel in drive mode when the pulse is transmitted.

ABSTRACT Disclosed herein is a series of helical sulfono-γ-AApeptides that mimic the binding mode of the α-helical HD2 domain of B-Cell Lymphoma 9 (BCL9). As disclosed herein, sulfono-γ-AApeptides can structurally and functionally mimic the α-helical domain of BCL9, and selectively disrupt β-catenin/BCL9 PPIs with even higher potency. More intriguingly, these sulfono-γ-AApeptides can enter cancer cells, bind with β-catenin and disrupt β-catenin/BCL PPI, and exhibit excellent cellular activity, which is much more potent than the BCL9 peptide. Furthermore, enzymatic stability studies demonstrated the remarkable stability of the helical sulfono-γ-AApeptides, with no degradation in the presence of pronase for 24 h, augmenting their biological potential.

ABSTRACT A method for quantum state transfer includes iteratively expanding an initial quantum state from an initial qudit, of a plurality of qudits, over a sequence of expanding domains. For each iteration, a quantum circuit is applied to the qudits belonging to a respective domain of the sequence. The quantum circuit transforms the qudits of the respective domain into an intermediate quantum state that includes a W state formed with the qudits of the respective domain. The last iteration generates a maximally expanded state. The method may also include iteratively compressing the maximally expanded state according to a sequence of contacting domains. After compressing, a final qudit, of the plurality of qudits, is in a final quantum state that approximates the initial quantum state.

ABSTRACT A catalyst-free synthesis method for the formation of a metalorganic compound comprising a desired (first) metal may include, for example, selecting another (second) metal and an organic solvent, with the second metal being selected to (i) be more reactive with respect to the organic solvent than the first metal and (ii) form, upon exposure of the second metal to the organic solvent, a reaction by-product that is more soluble in the organic solvent than the metalorganic compound. An alloy comprising the first metal and the second metal may be first produced (e.g., formed or otherwise obtained) and then treated with the organic solvent in a liquid phase or a vapor phase to form a mixture comprising (i) the reaction by-product comprising the second metal and (ii) the metalorganic compound comprising the first metal. The metalorganic compound may then be separated from the mixture in the form of a solid.

ABSTRACT An alloy anode for a seawater based aqueous battery and a universal strategy for preparing anodes for use in seawater based aqueous batteries. Zn-M alloys (where M can be manganese or other transition metal) were prepared by co-electrodeposition in the presence of hydrogen bubble formation to produce a porous nanostructured alloy that can serve as an anode for a seawater based aqueous battery. Exemplary Zn—Mn alloy anodes achieved stability over thousands of cycles even under harsh electrochemical conditions, including testing in seawater-based aqueous electrolytes and using a high current density of 80 mA cm−2. The anode design strategy allows for the production of durable electrodes for aqueous batteries and other applications.

ABSTRACT Presented are new, earth-abundant lithium superionic conductors, Li3Y(PS4)2 and Li5PS4Cl2, that emerged from a comprehensive screening of the Li—P—S and Li-M-P—S chemical spaces. Both candidates are derived from the relatively unexplored quaternary silver thiophosphates. One key enabler of this discovery is the development of a first-of-its-kind high-throughput first principles screening approach that can exclude candidates unlikely to satisfy the stringent Li+ conductivity requirements using a minimum of computational resources. Both candidates are predicted to be synthesizable, and are electronically insulating. Systems and methods according to present principles enable new, all-solid-state rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT A method for quantum state transfer includes iteratively expanding an initial quantum state from an initial qudit, of a plurality of qudits, over a sequence of expanding domains. For each iteration, a quantum circuit is applied to the qudits belonging to a respective domain of the sequence. The quantum circuit transforms the qudits of the respective domain into an intermediate quantum state that includes a W state formed with the qudits of the respective domain. The last iteration generates a maximally expanded state. The method may also include iteratively compressing the maximally expanded state according to a sequence of contacting domains. After compressing, a final qudit, of the plurality of qudits, is in a final quantum state that approximates the initial quantum state.

ABSTRACT Presented are new, earth-abundant lithium superionic conductors, Li3Y(PS4)2 and Li5PS4Cl2, that emerged from a comprehensive screening of the Li—P—S and Li-M-P—S chemical spaces. Both candidates are derived from the relatively unexplored quaternary silver thiophosphates. One key enabler of this discovery is the development of a first-of-its-kind high-throughput first principles screening approach that can exclude candidates unlikely to satisfy the stringent Li+ conductivity requirements using a minimum of computational resources. Both candidates are predicted to be synthesizable, and are electronically insulating. Systems and methods according to present principles enable new, all-solid-state rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

ABSTRACT The invention describes a new and improved weather forecasting model which utilizes neural networks to execute equations which use timed inputs from current weather forecasting models to produce more accurate weather predictions. By innovatively combining several independent techniques through Machine Learning (ML), the LEARN2 decision support tool can improve heavy precipitation forecast skill in Week 1 and extend the duration of skillful forecasts two additional days into Week 2, as measured by accuracy and precision against verification observations—beyond that presently available from today's operational GFS and GEFS predictions alone. The LEARN2 predictions, while based upon the precipitation and atmospheric field forecasts of the GFS or GEFS, add in three significant additional information sources: (1) remotely sensed satellite observations untainted by the data assimilation analyses conducted by NWP centers as a part of each forecast's initialization. While allowing the models to better assimilate the observations, there is an unavoidable loss of in-formation—information that these observed fields still retain; (2) sub-seasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) teleconnection indices, which pro-vide information on global circulation patterns that modulate synoptic meteorology; and (3) assessments of NWP model forecast biases, obtained from a sequence of forecasts and their verifications. Operational NWP models have inherent biases that must be removed either objectively or subjectively before use.

ABSTRACT A method for quantum state transfer includes iteratively expanding an initial quantum state from an initial qudit, of a plurality of qudits, over a sequence of expanding domains. For each iteration, a quantum circuit is applied to the qudits belonging to a respective domain of the sequence. The quantum circuit transforms the qudits of the respective domain into an intermediate quantum state that includes a W state formed with the qudits of the respective domain. The last iteration generates a maximally expanded state. The method may also include iteratively compressing the maximally expanded state according to a sequence of contacting domains. After compressing, a final qudit, of the plurality of qudits, is in a final quantum state that approximates the initial quantum state.

ABSTRACT Methods of detecting and categorizing an action in an untrimmed video segment regardless of the scale of the action and the close proximity of other actions. The methods improve upon the prior art which either require trimmed video segments including only a single activity depicted therein, or untrimmed video segments including relatively few actions, persons, or objects of interest, thereby directing the classification. Instead, the methods utilize a plurality of tubelets used to represent discreet actions, persons, and objects of interest within the comprehensive untrimmed video segment. The tubelets are localized to correct for pixel-level foreground-background biases, which are then turned into short spatio-temporal action tubelets that are passed to a classification network to obtain multi-label predictions. After classification, the tubelets are be linked together to obtain the final detections with varying lengths, and the method merges the short action tubelets into final action detections.

ABSTRACT Methods, devices and systems for ultra-high dose radiotherapy are disclosed. The described techniques rely in-part on active switching control of a photoconductive switch during the time the accelerator is accelerating charged particles to produce the output radiation at the desired dose rates. One radiotherapy system includes a particle accelerator configured to receive charged particles from a pulsed source. The particle accelerator includes a pipe configured to allow the charged particles to pass through as a beam, a magnetic core positioned proximate to the pipe and coupled to the pulsed source, and at least one multilayer insulator positioned adjacent to the pipe and the magnetic core. The system also includes a photoconductive switch coupled to the particle accelerator and configured to supply the particle accelerator with a plurality of voltage pulses.

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 14, 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.
