| ABSTRACT | A prosthetic device includes a frame defining an output axis, a cantilever beam spring attached to the frame, a moment arm attached to the spring, and a rigid output arm coupled to the frame and rotatable about the output axis. A connector assembly is configured to apply a moment to the cantilever beam spring via the moment arm while applying a torque about the output axis via the output arm. An ankle-foot device includes foot and ankle members connected for two-degree of freedom movement relative to one another, allowing for rotation about an ankle axis and rotation about a subtalar axis. Two linear actuators, each coupled to corresponding series elastic element, link the foot and ankle members. Driving the actuators in the same direction causes rotation about the ankle axis and driving the actuators in opposing directions causes rotation about the subtalar axis. A processor receives sensory information from a sensor and drives the actuators to control an equilibrium position of the series elastic elements. A rotary actuator for a prosthetic device includes a housing frame, a motor mounted within the housing frame, and a cycloidal drive coupled to the motor within the housing frame. A torsion shaft can extend through the actuator to an output and provide a series elastic element. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides novel peptides (e.g., peptides, macrocyclic peptides, mini-proteins) that modulate protein-protein interactions or salts thereof, and methods of making and using the inventive peptides. In some embodiments, the peptides are high affinity inhibitors (e.g., KD of at most 100 nM, at most 10 nM, at most 1 nM) of a protein-protein interaction. In certain embodiments, these peptides interfere with p53-MDM2 binding interactions (e.g., by binding to MDM2 (GenBank® Gene ID: 4193)). In some embodiments, the peptides interfere with the dimerization of the C-terminal domain of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) capsid protein (C-CA), comprising residues 146-231 of the HIV capsid protein (e.g., by binding to the C-terminal domain of the HIV capsid protein (C-CA), thereby inhibiting the dimeric interface of HIV capsid protein, thereby inhibiting viral assembly). These inventive peptides were rapidly generated and identified using novel methods described herein comprising combinatorial peptide synthesis and/or solution affinity selection. |

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

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to methods of determining if a subject has a decreased risk of suffering from future memory impairment. The methods comprise analyzing at least one plasma sample from the subject to determine a value of the subject's metabolite profile and comparing the value of the subject's metabolite profile with the value of a normal metabolite profile. A change in the value of the subject's metabolite profile, over normal values is indicative that the subject has a decreased risk of suffering from future memory impairment compared to a normal individual. |

| ABSTRACT | A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a system include a processor(s) that produces a set of beamforming vectors, each vector produced based on a distinct set of parameters. To produce vector of the vectors, the processor(s) obtains, from receive antennas, data comprising a waveform comprising slots with boundaries, from a first collection window. The processor(s) determines the parameters (e.g., silent portion length and signal portion length) and determines which slots of the waveform contain signal operating instructions. The processor(s) aligns the slot boundaries, utilizing the data, based on determining which slots of the waveform contain signal operating instructions. The processor(s) extracts the signal portion and the silent portion, determines a covariance for each, and determines a vector and eigenvalue. From the set, the processor(s) selects a vector and applies the vector to a second collection window to suppress interference in data received within the second collection window. |

| ABSTRACT | Waterless electrochemical transdermal alcohol sensor. In one embodiment, the sensor includes a proton exchange membrane imbibed with an imbibing liquid that includes at least one cationic substance that is liquid at room temperature. As examples, the cationic substance may be one or more ionic liquids with an imidazolium, phosphonium, ammonium, pyridinium, pyrrolidinium, or sulfonium backbone structure. The imbibing of the proton exchange membrane with the cationic substance obviates the need for the periodic addition of water to the electrochemical cell. The sensor additionally includes a sensing electrode, which is bonded to one side of the proton exchange membrane, and a counter electrode and a reference electrode, both of which are bonded to the opposite side of the proton exchange membrane. The sensor may be incorporated into a wearable transdermal alcohol sensor device, which, in turn, may be incorporated into a system for detecting transdermal alcohol. |

| ABSTRACT | A fully-implantable brain-computer interface cyber-physical system capable of acquiring and analyzing electrocorticogram (“ECoG”) signals, recorded directly from the subdural space of the brain, to enable direct brain control of a prosthetic (e.g., a robotic gait exoskeleton or a functional electrical stimulation (“FES”) system) is disclosed. The present system comprises a plurality of electrodes, for acquiring the ECoG signals, and a digital signal processor (“DSP”) for deriving a plurality of real-time commands from the ECoG signals. These real-time commands may then be wirelessly transmitted to the prosthetic for execution. Further, to avoid wireless data transmission of the ECoG signals from the plurality of electrodes to the DSP, which would expose the brain, skull, and scalp tissue to potentially harmful radio frequencies, a subcutaneous tunneling cable operatively couples the plurality of electrodes and the DSP. |

| ABSTRACT | An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a non-invasive solution to risk stratify the risk of in arrhythmia in patients with TOF. Currently, no reliable method for non-invasive risk stratification exists. In the realm of congenital heart disease, cardiac MRI is now used routinely for patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease. An innovative platform for using clinical MRI data to create 3D electromechanical models of the heart enables predictions of whether or not patients with ischemic heart disease have the substrate for arrhythmia and what their relative risk for such an event is. An embodiment of the current invention provides a non-invasive solution to risk stratify the risk of arrhythmia in patients with TOF. Currently, no reliable method for non-invasive risk stratification exists. |

| ABSTRACT | Previous studies (Xiao et al., 2001) have identified two metabolites of methadone, EMDP (2-ethyl-5-methyl-3,3-diphenyl-1-pyrroline) and EDDP (2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine), which are considered to be inactive at opiate receptors, as relatively potent noncompetitive channel blockers of α3β4 nAChRs. We have now evaluated these compounds in rats and mice in preclinical behavioral models predictive of potential anxiolytic and antidepressant efficacy. We found that EMDP, but not EDDP, displayed robust effects predictive of anxiolytic and antidepressant efficacy without significant effects on locomotor activity. Moreover, EMDP at behaviorally active doses, unlike mecamylamine, did not produce eyelid ptosis, suggesting it may produce fewer autonomic side effects than mecamylamine. Thus, the methadone metabolite EMDP may represent a novel therapeutic avenue for the treatment of some affective disorders. |

| ABSTRACT | Stress responses involve corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), the two cognate receptors (CRF1 and CRF2) and the CRF-binding protein (CRFBP). Utilizing a novel cell-based assay, a C-terminal CRFBP fragment [CRFBP(10 kD)] was found to potentiates CRF-intracellular Ca2+ release, demonstrating that CRFBP possesses excitatory roles in addition to the inhibitory role established by the N-terminal fragment of CRFBP [CRFBP(27 kD)]. This interaction was CRF2-specific, as CRF1 responses were not potentiated by CRFBP(10 kD). As there were currently no small molecule ligands available that selectively interact with either CRFBP or CRF2, a cell-based assay was miniaturized, wherein CRFBP(10 kD) was fused as a chimera with CRF2α, that allowed us to a perform a high-throughput screen (HTS) of approximately 350,000 small molecules. This resulted in the identification of negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) of the CRFBP(10 kD)-CRF2 complex that blunt CRF-induced potentiation of N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor (NMDAR)-mediated synaptic transmission in dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). These results provide the first evidence of specific roles for CRF2 and CRFBP in the modulation of neuronal activity and suggest that NMDARs in the VTA may be a target for the treatment of stress and substance abuse disorders such as alcohol use disorder. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided herein are methods of enhancing engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in recipient subjects by reducing expression (or activity) of CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). Such methods can be used in gene therapy protocols and in HSC transplantation, for example allowing this to occur without radiation or chemotherapy conditioning as is typically done in non-myeloablative HSC transplant. In some examples, gene editing methods are used to delete one copy of the CXCR4 gene before HSC or bone marrow transplantation, enhancing the efficiency and durability of donor cell repopulation. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to chimeric transmembrane immunoreceptors, named “zetakines,” comprised of an extracellular domain comprising a soluble receptor ligand linked to a support region capable of tethering the extracellular domain to a cell surface, a transmembrane region and an intracellular signalling domain. Zetakines, when expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes, direct T cell activity to those specific cells expressing a receptor for which the soluble receptor ligand is specific. Zetakine chimeric immunoreceptors represent a novel extension of antibody-based immunoreceptors for redirecting the antigen specificity of T cells, with application to treatment of a variety of cancers, particularly via the autocrin/paracrine cytokine systems utilized by human malignancy. In a preferred embodiment is a glioma-specific immunoreceptor comprising the extracellular targeting domain of the IL-13Rα2-specific IL-13 mutant IL-13(E13Y) linked to the Fc region of IgG, the transmembrane domain of human CD4, and the human CD3 zeta chain. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides methods, kits, and compositions for generating DNA molecules encoding CRISPR/Cas guide RNAs (e.g., Cas9 single guide RNAs or Cas9 targeter RNAs). A library of such DNA molecules can be generated from any DNA source. The methods include a step of contacting target DNA with one or more DNA endonucleases that specifically bind to and cleave within a recognition sequence that includes a PAM sequence, to generate a plurality of cleavage fragments, to which a DNA adapter can be attached. A distal-cleaving DNA endonuclease can be used that specifically binds to a recognition sequence in the DNA adapter and cleaves at a site within the attached DNA cleavage fragments to generate a library of CRISPR/Cas guide sequences. After removal of all or a portion of the DNA adapter, a constant region of a guide RNA can be attached to generate DNA molecules encoding CRISPR/Cas guide RNAs. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides methods for preparing β-substituted tryptophan compounds. The methods include: combining i) an unsubstituted indole or a substituted indole, ii) a β-substituted serine, and iii) a tryptophan synthase β-subunit (i.e., a TrpB); and maintaining the resulting mixture under conditions sufficient to form the β-substituted tryptophan. The TrpB contains at least one amino acid mutation which promotes formation of an amino-acrylate intermediate. New TrpB variants and new β-substituted tryptophan analogs are also described. |

| ABSTRACT | A fully-implantable brain-computer interface cyber-physical system capable of acquiring and analyzing electrocorticogram (“ECoG”) signals, recorded directly from the subdural space of the brain, to enable direct brain control of a prosthetic (e.g., a robotic gait exoskeleton or a functional electrical stimulation (“FES”) system) is disclosed. The present system comprises a plurality of electrodes, for acquiring the ECoG signals, and a digital signal processor (“DSP”) for deriving a plurality of real-time commands from the ECoG signals. These real-time commands may then be wirelessly transmitted to the prosthetic for execution. Further, to avoid wireless data transmission of the ECoG signals from the plurality of electrodes to the DSP, which would expose the brain, skull, and scalp tissue to potentially harmful radio frequencies, a subcutaneous tunneling cable operatively couples the plurality of electrodes and the DSP. |

| ABSTRACT | Sub-millimeter scale three-dimensional (3D) structures are disclosed with customizable chemical properties and/or functionality. The 3D structures are referred to as drop-carrier particles. The drop-carrier particles allow the selective association of one solution (i.e., a dispersed phased) with an interior portion of each of the drop-carrier particles, while a second non-miscible solution (i.e., a continuous phase) associates with an exterior portion of each of the drop-carrier particles due to the specific chemical and/or physical properties of the interior and exterior regions of the drop-carrier particles. The combined drop-carrier particle with the dispersed phase contained therein is referred to as a particle-drop. The selective association results in compartmentalization of the dispersed phase solution into sub-microliter-sized volumes contained in the drop-carrier particles. The compartmentalized volumes can be used for single-molecule assays as well as single-cell, and other single-entity assays. |

| ABSTRACT | Previous hybrid-anion and cation-redox (HACR) cathodes were limited in cycling performance by irreversible anionic redox reactions caused by the loss of anions. To overcome this limitation, a lithium (Li) transition metal (M) oxide particle is described having a Li concentration gradient. In one example, the particle includes a Li-rich core region that provides capacity and energy density due anionic and cationic contributions and a Li-poor surface region surrounding the core region to inhibit anionic activity and thus substantially reduce the loss of anions. A gradient region disposed between the core and surface regions has a Li concentration profile that varies from a first Li concentration in the core region to a second Li concentration in the surface region. A high-temperature leaching method may be used to leach LiO from a Li-rich Li1+xM1−XO2 particle, thus forming a coherent Li gradient with a stabilized layered structure. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of making a bonded polymeric assembly by transfer printing comprises contacting a stamp with a solid-phase ink comprising a photoresist to form an inked stamp, where the solid-phase ink is reversibly bound to the stamp. The inked stamp is aligned with an object comprising the photoresist and is stamped onto the object. The stamp is then removed, thereby transferring the solid-phase ink onto the object. The solid-phase ink is thermally joined with the object. Thus, a bonded polymeric assembly comprising a bonded joint between the solid-phase ink and the object is formed. |

| ABSTRACT | Lazy Persistency (LP), a software persistency method that allows caches to slowly send dirty blocks to the non-volatile main memory (NVMM) through natural evictions. With LP, there are no additional writes to NVMM, no decrease in write endurance, and no performance degradation from cache line flushes and barriers. Persistency failures are discovered using software error detection (checksum), and the system recovers from them by recomputing inconsistent results. LP was evaluated and compared to the state-of-the-art Eager Persistency technique from prior work. Compared to Eager Persistency, LP reduces the execution time and write amplification overheads from 9% and 21% to only 1% and 3%, respectively. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects relate to patterned nanostructures having a feature size not including film thickness below 5 microns. The patterned nanostructures are made up of nanoparticles having an average particle size less than 100 nm. A nanoparticle composition, which, in some cases, includes a binder material, is applied to a substrate. A patterned mold used in concert with electromagnetic radiation manipulate the nanoparticle composition in forming the patterned nanostructure. In some embodiments, the patterned mold nanoimprints a suitable pattern onto the nanoparticle composition and the composition is cured through UV or thermal energy. Three-dimensional patterned nanostructures may be formed. A number of patterned nanostructure layers may be prepared and joined together. In some cases, a patterned nanostructure may be formed as a layer that is releasable from the substrate upon which it is initially formed. Such releasable layers may be arranged to form a three-dimensional patterned nanostructure in accordance with suitable applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Synthetic apolipoproteins based on native/naturally occurring homolog proteins can be prepared using solid-phase peptide synthesis approaches combined with native chemical ligation methods to create analogs of full length apolipoproteins. The chemical synthesis is expected to allow introduction of non-natural amino acids, e.g., α,α′-dialkyl amino acids, with a periodicity that encourages both helix formation and amphipathicity. Such apolipoprotein analogs are expected to encourage, in some embodiments, facile and more complete NLP formation, enabling consideration of full spectrum of nanoparticle-based biotechnology applications ranging from therapeutic sequestration and delivery to energy/biofuel production to biopolymer production. |

| ABSTRACT | A system or method for drilling includes autonomously controlling a rotary or percussive drilling process as it transitions through multiple materials with very different dynamics. The method determines a drilling medium based on real-time measurements and comparison to prior drilling data, and identifies the material type, drilling region, and approximately optimal setpoint based on data from at least one operating condition. The controller uses these setpoints initially to execute an optimal search to maximize performance by minimizing mechanical specific energy. Near-bit depth-of-cut estimations are performed using a machine learning prediction deployed in an embedded processor to provide high-speed ROP estimates. The sensing capability is coupled with a near-bit clutching mechanism to support drilling dysfunction mitigation. |

| ABSTRACT | An example method for detecting and mitigating attacks on electric power substations comprises detecting a command to open or close a circuit breaker in the electric power substation. A modified extended substation model for the electric power substation is generated, based on the detected command and based on measurements in substation, where the modified extended substation model is a power flow model for the substation and for one or more directly connected neighboring substations. A power flow analysis is performed, using the modified extended substation model, to generate a predicted voltage for each of a plurality of nodes in the substation and in the one or more directly connected neighboring substations. Each predicted voltage is compared to a corresponding allowable voltage range, and execution of the command is blocked in response to determining that one or more of the voltages is outside the corresponding allowable voltage range. |

| ABSTRACT | A lightweight, fast, and reliable authentication mechanism compatible with the 5G D2D ProSe standard mechanisms is provided. A distributed authentication with a delegation-based scheme avoids repeated access to the 5G core network key management functions. Hence, a legitimate user equipment device (e.g., a drone) is authorized by the cellular network (e.g., 5G cellular network) via offering a proxy signature to authenticate itself to other drones. Test results demonstrate that the protocol is lightweight and reliable. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure generally relates to a method of creating patterned metallic circuits (e.g., silver circuits) on a substrate (e.g., a ceramic substrate). A porous metal interlayer (e.g., porous nickel) is applied to the substrate to improve wetting and adhesion of the patterned metal circuit material to the substrate. The substrate is heated to a temperature sufficient to melt the patterned metal circuit material but not the porous metal interlayer. Spreading of molten metal circuit material on the substrate is controlled by the porous metal interlayer, which can itself be patterned, such as having a defined circuit pattern. Thick-film silver or other metal circuits can be custom designed in complicated shapes for high temperature/high power applications. The materials designated for the circuit design allows for a low-cost method of generating silver circuits other metal circuits on a ceramic substrate. |

How To Use This Page
THE FEDINVENT PATENT 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 Tuesday, March 22, 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 as it appears on the patent.
FILED
The date of 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 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:
