ABSTRACT This disclosure provides a fetal-blood-oxygen-saturation estimation technique using a deep neural network without performing explicit fetal signal extraction from mixed maternal-fetal photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals. In one aspect, the disclosed fetal-blood-oxygen-saturation estimation technique receives multiple channels of PPG signals from two or more photodetectors detecting transabdominal diffused light from two or more light sources emitting two or more distinct wavelengths, wherein the photodetectors and light sources are positioned on a maternal abdomen. Note that each channel of the multiple channels of PPG signals includes mixed maternal-fetal PPG signals. Next, the disclosed estimation technique processes the received PPG signals using a trained deep neural network to directly estimate fetal-blood-oxygen-saturation by: tagging the PPG signals with a set of signal-quality levels; feeding the tagged PPG signals as inputs to the deep neural network; and directly inferring, by the deep neural network, fetal-blood-oxygen-saturation estimations and associated confidence levels based on the tagged PPG signals.

ABSTRACT In certain examples, aspects are directed to an ablation tool or other procedure-specific tool to treat or assess biological tissue (e.g., ablate cardiac tissue) having a first tissue side and a second, opposite tissue side at which a magnetic-draw element is to be located. In a specific example, a first magnetic element is associated with or coupled to a catheter tool having an expandable portion to transition from a first state towards a second state for providing an expanded girth, so that the expandable portion surrounds the first magnetic element and moves the procedure-specific tool, in part by the first magnetic element moving via magnetic attraction. While the first magnetic element and the magnetic-draw element align on either side of the biological tissue, the procedure-specific tool may be used for the procedure.

ABSTRACT Potassium chloride cotransporter-2 (KCC2) plays a critical role in brain function, and deficiency in KCC2 has been linked to neurological diseases, psychiatric disorders, and central nervous system injuries. In particular, Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the X-linked gene Methyl CpG binding Protein 2 (MECP2), has been linked to deficits in KCC2. The disclosure reports the use of CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing technology to generate stem cell-derived, genetically defined KCC2 reporter human neurons for large-scale compound screening. This screening platform has been utilized to identify a number of small molecule compounds that are capable of enhancing KCC2 expression in both wild-type and RTT neurons, as well as organotypical brain slices cultured from wild-type mice. These first-in class compounds may be applied as a novel therapeutic approach to restore the impaired balance between excitation and inhibition observed in neurological diseases, psychiatric disorders, and central nervous system injuries.

ABSTRACT The invention provides injectable, tough hydrogels that can be crosslinked in situ on demand using minimally-invasive methods, such as visible light exposure is an unmet medical challenge. Among the emerging biopolymers for tissue sealing, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), a naturally-derived biopolymer obtained from denatured collagen, has secured a promising role as a result of its excellent bioadhesion, biodegradation, and biocompatibility. To overcome one of the main shortcomings of GelMA, i.e., brittleness, we hybridized it using methacrylate-modified alginate (AlgMA) to impart ion-induced reversible crosslinking that can dissipate energy under strain. The hybrid GelMA-AlgMA hydrogels provide a photocrosslinkable, injectable, and adhesive platform with an excellent toughness that can be engineered using divalent cations, such as calcium. This class of novel hybrid biopolymers with more than 600% improved toughness may set the stage for durable, mechanically-resilient, and cost-effective tissue sealants in minimally invasive procedure, especially for stretchable tissues.

ABSTRACT An implant insertion device includes a vibrational actuator generating axial vibrations, a coupler interconnected to the actuator and selectively retaining an implant with penetrating electrodes. The coupler has a distal end cavity at one end dimensioned to receive and retain at least a portion of the implant. Vibrations are transferred to the electrodes during insertion. A vacuum assembly connects to the coupler and provides a negative pressure, or suction force, when a vacuum source is attached and activated. This suction force is sufficient to hold the implant to the distal end of the coupler. Deactivation of the vacuum source removes the suction force, causing the implant to detach from the coupler without perturbation of position. The insertion device may then be removed. A system to coordinate the operation of the actuator and movement of the device and/or tissue relative to one another for delivery of the implant is also provided.

ABSTRACT An electrodialysis fluid purification device includes a fluid output from an upper part of a first fluid reservoir. One or more ion permselective elements at a surface on or near the bottom of the first reservoir are arranged to provide one or more small area points or lines. A fluid connection to a second fluid reservoir is on an opposite side of the one or more ion permselective elements. Electrodes and a power supply create a voltage differential across the one or more ion permselective elements. Another fluid purification device includes a first reservoir with which an ion permselective element interfaces directly in a 2D to 3D relationship. A method employs small area ion permselective element interfaces at a surface on or near the bottom of the first reservoir such that ion transport creates a depleted zone that extends into the first fluid reservoir.

ABSTRACT CRISPR-based diagnostic methods and compositions are provided. One embodiment provides the use of DNA-barcoded antibodies or peptide-MHC (pMHC) tetramers (e.g., Kb-OVA257-264, Db-GP10025-33, Db-GP33-41) and CRISPR-Cas protein, and a guided DNA endonuclease, to achieve ultrasensitive detection of soluble and cell surface proteins. The disclosed embodiments can use type V: Cas12a; type VI: Cas13a, or Cas13b. Combining DNA encoding with CRISPR-Cas protein recognition is a sensitive system because barcodes can be isothermally amplified and Cas, for example Cas12a, enzymatically cleaves DNA reporters upon barcode detection, providing two rounds of amplification and enabling measurement of protein concentration by sample fluorescence or using by paper-based assays. This platform enables monitoring of protein and cellular biomarkers and further expands the toolbox of CRISPR/Cas-based technologies

ABSTRACT In a method for magnetic resonance imaging pseudorandomly undersampled k- space imaging data is acquired with multiple receiver coils of an MRI imaging apparatus. MR image reconstruction is performed to produce a reconstructed MR image from the k-space imaging data by iteratively solving sketched approximations of an original reconstruction problem. The sketched approximations use a sketched model matrix As that is a lower-dimensional version of an original model matrix A of the original reconstruction problem. The sketched model matrix As preserves the Fourier structure of the MR reconstruction problem and reduces the number of coils actively used during reconstruction.

ABSTRACT This disclosure provides a fetal-blood-oxygen-saturation estimation technique using a deep neural network without performing explicit fetal signal extraction from mixed maternal-fetal photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals. In one aspect, the disclosed fetal-blood-oxygen-saturation estimation technique receives multiple channels of PPG signals from two or more photodetectors detecting transabdominal diffused light from two or more light sources emitting two or more distinct wavelengths, wherein the photodetectors and light sources are positioned on a maternal abdomen. Note that each channel of the multiple channels of PPG signals includes mixed maternal-fetal PPG signals. Next, the disclosed estimation technique processes the received PPG signals using a trained deep neural network to directly estimate fetal-blood-oxygen-saturation by: tagging the PPG signals with a set of signal-quality levels; feeding the tagged PPG signals as inputs to the deep neural network; and directly inferring, by the deep neural network, fetal-blood-oxygen-saturation estimations and associated confidence levels based on the tagged PPG signals.

ABSTRACT Low Reynolds number forced convection heat transport within the fin channels enhanced by deliberate formation of unsteady, small-scale vortical motions using elastically fluttering thin-film reeds. The vortical motions substantially increase the local heat transfer coefficient at the channel walls and mixing between the wall thermal boundary layers and the cooler core flow. The flow mechanisms associated with production, advection and dissipation of these small-scale motions are investigated in a modular, high aspect ratio channel using micro-PIV, video imaging of the reed motion, and hot-wire anemometry. The global heat transfer enhancement in a modular heat sink prototype shows that the reed-induced small scale motions increase the turbulent kinetic energy of the flow even when the base flow undergoes transition to turbulence, leading to an increase in the local and global Nusselt number that is sustained at higher Re and a minor relative increase in losses.

ABSTRACT An electronically-controlled digital ferrofluidic device is disclosed which employs a network of individually addressable coils in conjunction with one or more movable permanent magnets, where each moveable permanent magnet delivers the designated fluid manipulation-based tasks. The underlying mechanism facilitating fluidic operations is realized by addressable electromagnetic actuation of miniaturized mobile magnets that exert localized magnetic body forces on droplets filled with magnetic nanoparticles. The reconfigurable, contactless, and non-interfering magnetic-field operation properties of the underlying actuation mechanism allow for the integration of passive and active components to implement advanced and diverse operations with high efficiency (e.g., droplet sorting, dispensing, generation, merging, mixing, filtering, and analysis).

ABSTRACT The present disclosure addresses the problem of UAVs pursuing a swarm of target UAVs. The target UAVs are flying together as a flock that are initially modeled as a circle having a time-varying radius or an arbitrarily-shaped swarm that may change in size. Guidance of the pursuing UAVs is developed based on a collision cone framework, wherein the pursuing UAVs cooperatively steer the velocity vector of any point in their convex hull, to intercept the target. Also, the problem of capturing a swarm of intruder UAVs using a net manipulated by a team of defense UAVs is disclosed. The intruder UAV swarm may be stationary, in motion, and even maneuver. Collision cones in 3-dimensional space are used to determine the strategy used by the net carrying UAVs to maneuver or manipulate the net in space in order to capture the intruders.

ABSTRACT A new set of bench-stable fluoroalkylphosphines that directly convert C—H bonds in pyridine building blocks, drug-like fragments, and pharmaceuticals, into fluoroalkyl derivatives. No pre-installed functional groups or directing motifs are required. The reaction tolerates a variety of sterically and electronically distinct pyridines and is exclusively selective for the 4-position in most cases. The reaction proceeds via initial phosphonium salt formation followed by sp2-sp3 phosphorus ligand-coupling, an underdeveloped manifold for C—C bond formation.

ABSTRACT In a method for magnetic resonance imaging pseudorandomly undersampled k- space imaging data is acquired with multiple receiver coils of an MRI imaging apparatus. MR image reconstruction is performed to produce a reconstructed MR image from the k-space imaging data by iteratively solving sketched approximations of an original reconstruction problem. The sketched approximations use a sketched model matrix As that is a lower-dimensional version of an original model matrix A of the original reconstruction problem. The sketched model matrix As preserves the Fourier structure of the MR reconstruction problem and reduces the number of coils actively used during reconstruction.

ABSTRACT Post-copy is one of the two key techniques (besides pre-copy) for live migration of virtual machines in data centers. Post-copy provides deterministic total migration time and low downtime for write-intensive VMs. However, if post-copy migration fails for any reason, the migrating VM is lost because the VM's latest consistent state is split between the source and destination nodes during migration. PostCopyFT provides a new approach to recover a VM after a destination or network failure during post-copy live migration using an efficient reverse incremental checkpointing mechanism. PostCopyFT was implemented and evaluated in the KVM/QEMU platform. Experimental results show that the total migration time of post-copy remains unchanged while maintaining low failover time, downtime, and application performance overhead.

ABSTRACT Treatment compositions for controlling bed bugs and methods of use, including reducing bed bug resistance to a biological control agent are disclosed. The treatment compositions can include both a NF-kB signaling inhibitor and biological control agent, such as, an entomopathogenic bacteria, to improve the treatment composition efficacy against bed bugs. Provisioning of a small molecule inhibitor of NF-kB signaling can increase the rate of bed bug mortality during infection with a bacterial entomopathogen. Increased mortality can be independent of direct effects of the inhibitor on bacterial growth and can be instead the result of a reduced ability of bed bugs to clear the infection when treated with the inhibitor.

ABSTRACT Low Reynolds number forced convection heat transport within the fin channels enhanced by deliberate formation of unsteady, small-scale vortical motions using elastically fluttering thin-film reeds. The vortical motions substantially increase the local heat transfer coefficient at the channel walls and mixing between the wall thermal boundary layers and the cooler core flow. The flow mechanisms associated with production, advection and dissipation of these small-scale motions are investigated in a modular, high aspect ratio channel using micro-PIV, video imaging of the reed motion, and hot-wire anemometry. The global heat transfer enhancement in a modular heat sink prototype shows that the reed-induced small scale motions increase the turbulent kinetic energy of the flow even when the base flow undergoes transition to turbulence, leading to an increase in the local and global Nusselt number that is sustained at higher Re and a minor relative increase in losses.

ABSTRACT A variable zoom X-ray CT method can significantly improve resolution for structures with large in-plane dimensions, for example to detect complex structural damage due to low-velocity impact in large thin composite laminate panels. The variable zoom method comprises emitting an X-ray beam from an X-ray source to project a region of interest (ROI) of a specimen within a field of view (FOV) onto a detector. Projections of the ROI are scanned with the detector while rotating the specimen about a rotational axis of a specimen stage and translating the specimen stage along an acquisition trajectory between the X-ray source and the detector. The acquisition trajectory specifies a source-to-object distance (SOD) between the X-ray source and the rotational axis of the specimen stage at each rotation angle of the specimen stage. A reconstruction computer reconstructs a three-dimensional volume of the specimen from the projections scanned by the detector.

ABSTRACT A method for stabilizing disrupted neural signals received by a brain-computer interface (BCI), where a translation model is trained on a clean and disrupted dataset and is used to translate a disrupted signal to a clean signal. The clean dataset is based on the data that is received the same day the BCI is calibrated and the disrupted dataset is based on data received the same day that the model is trained. Based on the variation in daily signal disruption, the training model is retrained each day and a new translation model is applied to a disrupted dataset.

ABSTRACT A system and method provide improved remote turbulence measurement. The system includes an image capturing device that captures time-lapse images of a distant target anywhere from a km to more than a 100 km away. A processor of the system tracks relative motion due to atmospheric turbulence of some number of patches of definite size on each of these images using a subpixel accurate correlation technique. The processor computes differential tilt variances between every pair of patches from the image collection and evaluates the theoretical weighting functions between turbulence along the path and differential tilt variances. The processor determines weights to linearly combine the weighting functions such that the combined weighting function closely resembles the weighting function corresponding to a turbulence parameter of interest. The processor then combines the differential tilt variances using the determined weights to obtain the desired turbulence parameter.

ABSTRACT In certain examples, methods and semiconductor structures are directed to an apparatus including source circuitry configured to provide power to other circuitry, with the source circuitry including amplification circuitry (e.g., with a power-switching output) and a source resonator. The amplification circuitry is to provide power to the source resonator with a gain that is dependent on a coupling rate between the source circuitry and other external-receiving circuitry. The source circuitry is also to offset phase delay caused by the amplifier. In operation, the source resonator generates a magnetic field in response to the power, for highly-efficient wirelessly transfer of the power to the other circuitry.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure relates to a coherent aperture array system for steering an optical source beam. The system may have a plurality of spaced apart, steerable emitters each being able to be mechanically aimed at a remote target location to steer portions of the source beam toward the target location. Each steerable emitter has a subaperture controllable independently of a remaining reflective surface of its associated steerable emitter, to receive and reflect a subportion of the source beam portion. The subportion forms a sense beam which is reflected toward a phase imaging system. A separate reference beam is created from the portion of the source beam travelling toward each steerable emitter. Each sense beam and each reference beam are thus associated uniquely with one of the steerable emitters. A phase imaging system is responsive to each of the reference beams and the sense beams, and determines phase differences between the portions of the source beam being transmitted from each steerable emitter.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure relates to a mechanical AND-gate logic system that may make use of a first and second lever arms, a first pivot linkage coupling the lever arms, an output member, and a second pivot linkage coupling the second lever arm to the output member. The first lever arm has first and second spaced apart ends for independently receiving separate logic level 1 or logic level 0 input signals thereon, and an output end spaced apart from the first and second input ends. The output end is disposed generally equidistant from the first and second spaced apart ends. The second lever arm has an input end and an output end and can move in both pivoting and translating movements. The first pivot linkage couples the output end of the first lever arm to the input end of the second lever arm such that both the input end and the output end of the second lever arm are able to either pivot and or to translate. The second lever arm is only able to translate and apply a logic 1 level input signal to the output member, to thus generate a logic 1 level output signal, when a logic level 1 input signal is applied simultaneously to both of the first and second input ends of the first lever arm.

ABSTRACT Transient molecules in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, are important signals and mediators of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Because these molecules may be short-lived in the body, they are difficult to detect. To track these reactive molecules in the GI tract, a miniaturized device has been developed that integrates genetically engineered probiotic biosensors with a custom-designed photodetector and readout chip. Leveraging the molecular specificity of living sensors, bacteria were genetically encoded to respond to IBD-associated molecules by luminescing. Low-power electronic readout circuits (e.g., using nanowatt power) integrated into the device convert the light from just 1 μL of bacterial culture into a wireless signal. Biosensor monitoring was demonstrated in the GI tract of small and large animal models and integration of all components into a sub-1.4 cm3 ingestible form factor capable of supporting wireless communication. The wireless detection of short-lived, disease-associated molecules may support earlier diagnosis of disease than is currently possible, more accurate tracking of disease progression, and more timely communication between patient and their care team supporting remote personalized care.

ABSTRACT This disclosure provides a two-phase separator device for separating condensate or particulate from a gas stream. In some implementations, the separator device removes water from air and may operate under micro-gravity conditions. The gas stream flows through the two-phase separator device and passes through a rotatable vane assembly along a flow path without being redirected in another flow path. Condensate or particulate in the gas stream is impacted by a plurality of vanes of the rotatable vane assembly, and the condensate is captured by features formed within the plurality of vanes. The captured condensate is accelerated radially outwardly along the each of the plurality of vanes towards a sloped inner wall, and further moved along the sloped inner wall in a direction against the flow path of the gas stream during rotation.

ABSTRACT An engine exhaust nozzle for a jet engine offers a controllable variable mixing of engine exhaust and the surrounding airflow. The engine exhaust nozzle includes a nozzle, slots at the downstream end of the nozzle, curved vanes extending radially inward from the inner surface of the nozzle and adjacent to the slots, and a cover connected to the outside of the nozzle and movable with respect to the nozzle so as to open and close the slots. When the slots are opened, near-field mixing is enhanced between the jet exhaust and the surrounding air, thus reducing mixing further downstream and the noise associated therewith, thus reducing the overall noise transmitted to the ground. When the slots are closed, the nozzle propulsive efficiency improves at the expense of increased noise.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods are described, and an example system includes a transport bin configured to carry a baggage item and having spatial reference frame marking detectable by electromagnetic scan and by machine vision. The system includes a robotic arm apparatus at an inspection area, and includes a switched path baggage conveyor that, responsive to electromagnetic scan detection of an object-of-interest (OOI) within the baggage item, conveys the transport bin to the inspection area. The electromagnetic scan generates OOI geometric position information indicating geometric position of the OOI relative to the spatial reference frame marking. The robotic arm apparatus, responsive to receiving the transport bin, uses machine vision to detect orientation of the spatial reference frame marking, then translates OOI geometric position information to local reference frame, for robotic opening of the baggage item, and robotic accessing and contact swab testing on the OOI.

ABSTRACT Presented herein are systems and methods for simulating translated aircraft terminal procedures and comparing them to detect for errors in the translation of the terminal procedures. In one or more examples, one or more regulatory agency's routes and procedures for a given airspace are translated into one or more instructions that can be read by a flight computer that is configured to assist a pilot during a flight to adhere to those agency's procedures. A given terminal procedure can have multiple translations associated with it. In order to determine the accuracy of the translation process, in one or more examples, the translations provided by those vendors can be simulated by a computer that is configured to simulate an aircraft's traversal of an airspace using the instructions loaded on to the flight computer. The data generated by the simulations can be used to compare the translations to detect errors in the translation process.

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, December 01, 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.
