ABSTRACT A system and method for measuring biomechanical properties of tissues without external excitation are capable of measuring and quantifying these parameters of tissues in situ and in vivo. The system and method preferably utilize a phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for measuring the displacement caused by the intrinsic heartbeat. The method allows noninvasive and nondestructive quantification of tissue mechanical properties. Preferably, the method is used to detect tissue stiffness and to evaluate its stiffness due to intrinsic pulsatile motion from the heartbeat. This noninvasive method can evaluate the biomechanical properties of the tissues in vivo for detecting the onset and progression of degenerative or other diseases and evaluating the efficacy of therapies.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure provides a novel approach, recomSELEX, that highly integrate mutually supportive recombination and computational methods for aptamer selection and identification. The recomSELEX approach comprises a recombinatorial SELEX platform for aptamer screening that exponentially increases the sequence space that is explored by incorporation of a DNA shuffling step that allows recombination between aptamers. Subsequently, the recombinatorial SELEX platform can also be employed to develop new and optimize already existing aptamers. The recomSELEX further comprises a computational SELEX platform with a constrained genetic algorithm (GA) to identify potential aptamers that are stable and have the desired specificity and affinity of a target.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are systems and methods for using genomic features revealed by clinical targeted tumor sequencing to predict of tissue of origin. Using machine learning techniques, an algorithmic classifier is constructed and trained on a large cohort of prospectively sequenced tumors to predict cancer type and origin from DNA sequence data obtained at the point of care. Genome-directed reassessment of classifications may prompt tumor type reclassification resulting in altered cancer therapy. The clinical implementation of artificial intelligence to guide tumor type classifications at the point of care can complement standard histopathology and imaging to enable improved classification accuracy.

In one example, a device includes a first electrode positioned to define an outer boundary of an acceleration volume, a second electrode arranged coaxially with respect to the first electrode and positioned to define an inner boundary of the acceleration volume, at least one power supply to drive an electric current along a Z-pinch plasma column between the first second electrodes, and a set of valves to provide gas to the acceleration volume to fuel the Z-pinch plasma column, wherein an electron flow of the electric current is in a first direction from the second electrode to the first electrode. In additional or alternative examples, a shaping part is conductively connected to the second electrode to, in a presence of the gas, cause a gas breakdown of the gas to generate a sheared flow velocity profile.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for supporting medical therapy decisions are disclosed that utilize predictive models and electronic medical records (EMR) data to provide predictions of health conditions over varying time horizons. Embodiments also determine a 0-100 health risk index value that represents the “risk” for a patient to acquire a health condition based on a combination of real-time and predicted EMR data. The systems and methods receive EMR data and use the predictive models to predict one or more data values from the EMR data as diagnostic criteria. In some embodiments, the health condition trying to be avoided is Sepsis and the health risk index is a Sepsis Risk Index (SRI). In some embodiments, the predictive models are neural network models such as time delay neural networks.

ABSTRACT An apparatus and method to magnetically align fibers in a base additive material during an additive manufacturing process for material property enhancing purposes or to facilitate joining of multiple types of materials during the additive process to form an integrated part. The magnetically alignable fibers are positioned through the application of a controlled, multi-axis positioning magnetic field during the additive-material layer deposition phase. This allows the fibers to be embedded within the base additive-material in any three-dimensional desired orientation, and the orientation to be varied from layer to layer, to permit directional enhancement of material properties, dependent on the nature of the fiber materials themselves. Likewise, joining of multiple types of materials may be improved through the controlled deposition of such fibers embedded within the base material itself during the additive-process between layers of two or more dissimilar materials, to provide a directionally aligned mechanical attachment between layers of base additive materials to result in a strengthened consolidated part at the conclusion of the additive manufacturing process.

ABSTRACT Molecular computer techniques for solving a computational problem using an array of reaction sites, for example, droplets, are disclosed. The problem may be represented as a Hamiltonian in terms of problem variables and problem parameters. The reaction sites may have a physicochemical property mapping to discrete site states corresponding to possible values of the problem variables. In a purely molecular approach, the reaction sites have intra-site and inter-site couplings enforced thereon representing the problem parameters, and the array is allowed to evolve, subjected to the enforced couplings, to a final configuration conveying a solution to the problem. In a hybrid classical-molecular approach, an iterative procedure may be performed that involves feeding read-out site states into a digital computer, determining, based on the problem parameters, perturbations to be applied to the states, and allowing the array to evolve under the perturbations to a final configuration conveying a solution to the problem.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods are described for estimating a state of a process and an input to the process using a sensor network. Each sensor node in the sensor network is directly to one or more adjacent sensor nodes and indirectly coupled to the remaining sensor nodes through the one or more adjacent sensor nodes. Each sensor node iteratively calculates a new estimated state based on estimations of the state and the input to the process calculated by the sensor node in a previous iteration. The new estimated state is then adjusted based on a difference between a predicted and actual output of a sensor and is further adjusted based on differences between a previous estimated state calculated by the sensor node and estimated states calculated by adjacent sensor nodes.

ABSTRACT A method for generating ultrawideband pulsed microwave signals from optical field ionization of a gas with an ultrashort laser pulse, where the amplitude and frequency of the signals can be controlled via the characteristics of the laser pulse and/or the gas. The center frequency of the spectrum of the microwave signal can be controlled by changing the laser pulse energy. The amplitude of the microwave signal can be controlled by changing the wavelength of the laser pulses. The amplitude and frequency of the microwave signal can be tuned by controlling the pressure of the gas medium. The location at which the microwave signal is generated can be controlled by controlling the location at which the laser pulse creates a plasma. Interference among microwave signals resulting from multiple laser-produced plasmas can be used to construct an ultrawideband microwave signal having a predetermined amplitude and frequency.

ABSTRACT The removal of heat from silicon photonic integrated circuit devices is a significant issue in integrated circuit packages. As presented herein, the removal of heat may be facilitated with an optically compatible thermal interface structure on the silicon photonic integrated circuit device. These thermal interface structures may include stack-up designs, comprising an optical isolation structure and a thermal interface material, which reduces light coupling effects, while effectively conducting heat from the silicon photonic integrated circuit device to a heat dissipation device, thereby allowing effective management of the temperature of the silicon photonic integrated circuit device.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure discusses a system and method for disease module detection. More particularly, a protein network and list of seed proteins are provided to the system. The system iteratively selects one or more candidate proteins for inclusion in the list of seed proteins. The system calculates a connectivity factor for each of the connections of the candidate proteins to proteins listed as seed proteins. Responsive to the calculated connectivity factors the system adds one or more of the candidate proteins to list of seed proteins. At the end of the iterative process the list of seed proteins can be indicative of the disease module.

ABSTRACT A method of detecting and identifying pathogens in a sample comprising a plurality of genetic sequences. A plurality of electronic sequence reads corresponding to the plurality of genetic sequences is received and sampled to form a sample set. The sample set is iteratively and electronically compared to a plurality of pathogen sequences to create a detection group, which populates a putative genome data structure. A distance score is measured between each electronic sequence read of the sampled set to each pathogen sequence of the putative genome data structure. A hit score is calculated by comparing the distance score to a threshold value. A plurality of clusters of the electronic sequence reads of the sample set is formed to maximize the cluster hit score and to minimize a difference in distance scores of the cluster. A respective taxonomic group assigned to electronic reads of the sample set after clustering is displayed.

ABSTRACT Two approaches for on-chip ESD detection include variable dielectric width capacitor, and vertical metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitor MOSCAP array. The variable dielectric width capacitor approach employs metal plates terminated with sharp corners to enhance local electric field and facilitate ready breakdown of a thin dielectric between the metal plates. The vertical MOSCAP array is composed of a capacitor array connected in series. Both approaches are incorporated in an example 22 nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator. Vertical MOSCAP arrays detect ESD events starting from about 6 V with about 6 V granularity, while the variable dielectric width capacitor is suitable for detection of high ESD voltage from about 40 V and above.

ABSTRACT An apparatus includes a battery pack with N battery bricks, each with a DC output voltage. The output of each brick is connected in series providing a bus voltage. Each brick includes battery power modules (“BPMs”) connected in parallel and each connected to a battery cell. Each BPM charges/discharges the connected battery cell. Each brick has a battery brick controller that provides a control signal to each brick's BPMs. A control signal of a BPM is derived from a BPM error signal that includes a battery cell current of the battery cell of BPM subtracted from a summation of an average current signal, a local droop current and a balancing current. The balancing current is based on a current SOC of the battery cell connected to the BPM and a desired SOC for the battery cell connected to the BPM. A BMS derives the balancing current for the BPMs.

ABSTRACT A wireless communication system can include an antenna and an equalization system. The antenna can be configured to wirelessly receive a data signal from a user equipment (UE). The equalization system can be configured to compensate for distortion incurred by the data signal during propagation. The equalization system can include a set of multiplier circuits. Each multiplier circuit can include a first input, a second input, a multiplier device, and a management circuit. The first input can receive a first input signal that corresponds to the data signal. The second input can receive a second input signal that corresponds to a weighting value assigned to a channel associated with the antenna. The multiplier device can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, the multiplier device can be configured to perform a multiplication operation on the first input signal and the second input signal. When disabled, the multiplier circuit may not perform the multiplication operation. The management circuit can be configured to selectively disable or enable the multiplier device based on the first input signal and/or the second input signal, thereby reducing an effective number of multiplications and offering power savings.

ABSTRACT Apparatus and associated methods relate to providing robust synchronization of a Radio-Frequency (RF) communication in a severe-fading environment. A first portion of a detected RF signal is auto-correlated with a second portion of the detected RF signal. The first and second portions are time-separated by the predetermined time delay separating the first and second code-sequences. A third portion of the detected RF signal is sync-correlated with a sync-sequence so as to generate a sync-correlation signal. The third portion is of the predetermined length of the sync sequence and includes the first and second portions of the detected RF signal used to generate the auto-correlation signal. The auto-correlation signal is multiplied by the sync-correlation signal so as to generate a combined synchronization signal. A peak in the combined synchronization signal is then detected. This peak can be indicative of a synchronization time of an authorized communication.

The methods involve the bond exchange reaction of exchangeable covalent bonds in the polymer matrix with a suitable small molecule solvent in the presence of a catalyst. In some aspects, the methods are applied to a carbon fiber reinforced polymer or a thermoset polymer where the thermoset polymer matrix includes a plurality of ester bonds. Using a small molecule alcohol, the methods provide for recycling one or both of the carbon fiber and the polymer, for welding two surfaces, or for repairing a damaged surface in the materials.

ABSTRACT Cascaded metasurfaces can control the phase, amplitude and polarization of an electromagnetic beam, shaping it in three dimensional configuration not achievable with other methods. Each cascaded metasurface has dielectric or metallic scatterers arranged in a period array. The shape of the scatterers determines the three dimensional configuration of the output beam and is determined with iterative calculations through computational simulations.

ABSTRACT An internal combustion engine for neutron diffraction analysis is provided. The engine includes an elongated piston chamber formed from an aluminum alloy to ensure maximum neutron visibility into the combustion chamber. An elongated piston assembly reciprocates within the elongated piston chamber, the piston assembly including an upper piston joined to a lower piston. The upper piston and the lower piston are hollow, thereby reducing the reciprocating mass and increasing neutron access to the combustion chamber. The upper piston is lubricated with a neutron-transparent fluorocarbon lubricant such as perfluoropolyether (PFPE), while the lower piston and the crankcase are lubricated with hydrocarbon lubricant. The engine enables 3D and time-resolved measurements of strain, stress, and temperature, as well as phase transformation, texture, and microstructure.

ABSTRACT Illustrative embodiments are directed to methods, apparatus and computer program products for segmentation of X-ray tomography images via multiple reconstructions. A computed tomography scan of an object is received. The computed tomography scan is processed to generate an absorption reconstruction and a phase reconstruction from the computed tomography scan. First and second sets of seeds within the phase reconstruction are labeled as corresponding to a first phase by thresholding below a first threshold and corresponding to a second phase by thresholding above a second threshold, respectively. The absorption reconstruction is segmented automatically using an algorithm based on the first set of seeds, the second set of seeds and the absorption reconstruction. A final segmentation is produced based on a combination of the absorption reconstruction and the phase reconstruction.

ABSTRACT Methods and systems are provided for plasma confinement utilizing various electrode and valve configurations. In one example, a device includes a first electrode positioned to define an outer boundary of an acceleration volume, a second electrode arranged coaxially with respect to the first electrode and positioned to define an inner boundary of the acceleration volume, at least one power supply to drive an electric current along a Z-pinch plasma column between the first second electrodes, and a set of valves to provide gas to the acceleration volume to fuel the Z-pinch plasma column, wherein an electron flow of the electric current is in a first direction from the second electrode to the first electrode. In additional or alternative examples, a shaping part is conductively connected to the second electrode to, in a presence of the gas, cause a gas breakdown of the gas to generate a sheared flow velocity profile.

ABSTRACT An MOCVD system fabricates high quality superconductor tapes with variable thicknesses. The MOCVD system can include a gas flow chamber between two parallel channels in a housing. A substrate tape is heated and then passed through the MOCVD housing such that the gas flow is perpendicular to the tape's surface. Precursors are injected into the gas flow for deposition on the substrate tape. In this way, superconductor tapes can be fabricated with variable thicknesses, uniform precursor deposition, and high critical current densities.

ABSTRACT An apparatus for light delivery to magneto-optical trap (MOT) system utilizes only planar optical diffraction devices including a planar-integrated-circuit PIC and a metasurface MS. When MOT is based on the use of a diffraction grating, a grating chip is additionally employed to launch and manipulate light for laser cooling. Bridging the gap between the sub-micrometer-scale guided mode on the PIC and the centimeter-scale beam needed for laser cooling, a magnification of the mode area by about 1010 is demonstrated using an on-chip extreme-mode-converter to launch a Gaussian mode into free space from a PIC-waveguide and a beam-shaping, polarization-dependent MS to form a diverging laser beam with a flat-top spatial profile, which efficiently illuminates the grating chip without loss of light. Comparison to equivalent Gaussian-beam-illuminated GMOTs evidences advantageous power efficiency of operation of the proposed light delivery system as compared with conventional systems employing Gaussian distribution of illumination at the grating chip.

ABSTRACT A process enables growing thick stoichiometric crystalline and preferably IR-transparent optical PCMO material on Si and other substrates. Sputter deposition is carried out in oxygen-free inert gas (e.g., Ar) environment, which helps to prevent decomposition of the PCMO material over the substrate. In the disclosed process, there is no need to add a seed layer prior to PCMO deposition. Moreover, no post-deposition annealing is needed in a high-temperature and high-pressure oxygen furnace, but an anneal provides certain additional benefits in terms of improved transparency at IR wavelengths. Over a long deposition time for a thick PCMO film on the high temperature (≥450° C.) substrates, the PCMO deposition is made repeated cycles of deposition of the PCMO material at the high temperature, each deposition cycle being followed by cooling the PCMO-deposited substrate to a substantially lower temperature (<50° C.). If an anneal is applied in a hydrogen environment that will cause hydrogenation of the PCMO film which yields PCMO films with an extremely small optical loss (i.e., optical extinction coefficient k<0.001) over the entire IR range.

ABSTRACT A method includes receiving light at a light input of an electro-optic modulator device. The method includes directing the light via the light input into optical waveguides in an optical layer of an electro-optic modulator of the electro-optic modulator device. The method includes receiving a signal at an electric input of the electro-optic modulator device. The electric input is associated with an input impedance. The method includes providing the signal to an electrode structure of the electro-optic modulator. The electrode structure generates an electrical field based on the signal. The electric field modulates light in the optical waveguides to produce modulated light based on the signal. The electrode structure includes a constant impedance section associated with a second impedance less than the input impedance. The method also includes providing the modulated light based on the signal from the optical layer to one or more output optic fibers.

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 08, 2022.

The FedInvent Weekly Patent Details Page contains a subset of patent information to provide a deeper dive into the week's taxpayer-funded patents to help the reader better understand where a patent fits in the federal innovation ecosphere.

HOW IS THE INFORMATION ORGANIZED?

Patents are organized by the funding agency. Within each group, the patents are organized in numeric order. A patent funded by more than one agency will appear in the section of each of the agencies that funded the research and development that resulted in the invention. This approach gives the reader a complete view of the department or agency activity for the week.

WHAT INFORMATION WILL I FIND?

THE PANEL
There is a panel for each patent that contains the patent number and the title of the patent. When you click the panel, it opens to reveal the following information:

FUNDED BY
The agencies that funded the grants, contracts, or other research agreements that resulted in the patent. FedInvent includes as much information on the source of the funding as possible. The information is presented in a hierarchy going from the Federal Department down to the agencies, subagencies, and offices that funded the work. Here are two examples:

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
     National Institutes of Health (NIH)
         National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

Department of Defense (DOD)
     Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
         Army Research Office (ARO)

We do our best to provide detailed information about the funding. In some cases, the patent only reports limited information on the origins of the funding. FedInvents presents what it can confirm. We add the patents without the information required by the Bayh-Dole Act to our list of patents worthy of further investigation.

APPLICANT(S) and ASSIGNEES
FedInvent includes both the Applicants and the Assignees because having both provides more information about where the inventive work was done and by what organizations. Many organizations — universities, corporations, and federal agencies — standardize the Assignee/Owner information by the time a patent is granted. In the case of federal patents, many of the patents use the agency headquarters information for patent assignment.

Showing just the headquarters address would make Washington, DC the epicenter of all taxpayer-funded research and development. Providing both the applicant information and the assignee information provides a more accurate picture of where important taxpayer-funded innovation is happening in America. Here are two examples from two different patents:

APPLICANT: U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD
ASSIGNEE: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army Washington, DC

APPLICANT: Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)
ASSIGNEE(S): The Regents of the University of California (Oakland, California); Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)

INVENTOR(S)
The inventors appear in the same order as they appear on the patent. FedInvents presents the names in first name/last name order because they are easier to read than the last name/first name order of the names on the USPTO patent documents.

ABSTRACT
The abstract is presented as it appears on the patent.

FILED
The date the patent application including the day of the week.

APPL NO
This is the patent application serial number. If you’d like to learn more about how application serial numbers work you can go to the Lists Page.

ART UNIT
Patent data includes the Art Unit where a patent was examined. (The Art Unit isn’t available for published patent applications.) The Art Unit provides insight into what group of patent examiners prosecuted the patent application and the subject matter that the examiners work on. For example:

3793 — Medical Instruments, Diagnostic Equipment, and Treatment Devices

You can learn more about ART UNITS on the FedInvent Patents Weekly panel called About Tech Center or you can find information on the FedInvent Lists Page.

CURRENT CPC
Current CPC provides a list of the Cooperative Patent Classification symbols assigned to the patent. These are the CPC symbols assigned at the time the patent was granted.

The FedInvent Project is a patent classification maximalist endeavor or put another way, we believe that the more you understand about patent classification the more you'll learn about the nature of the invention and the types of work that the federal government is funding.

The symbol presented in BOLD is the symbol identified as the "first" classification which is the most relevant classification on the patent. The date that follows the symbol is the date of the most recent revision to the art classed there.

  • A61B 1/149 (20130101)
  • A61B 1/71 (20130101)
  • A61B 1/105 (20130101)

The CPC symbols match the classifications found on the PDF version of the patent. Over time, the classifications on the full text version of the patent change to reflect how USPTO organizes patent art to support its examiners. The two sets of CPCs don’t always match.

VIEW PATENT
As of June 2021, we include two ways to view a patent at USPTO. FedInvent provides a link to the Full-Text Version of the patent and a link to the PDF version of the patent.

HOW DO I FIND A SPECIFIC PATENT ON A PAGE?

You can use the Command F or Control F to find a specific patent you are interested in.

HOW DO I GET HERE?

You navigate to the details of a patent by clicking the information icon that follows a patent on the FedInvent Patents Weekly Report.

You can also reach this page using the weekly page link that looks like this:
