| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is a method for enhancing tumor response to chemotherapy, the method comprising administering a short-acting anti-angiogenic agent (AAA) capable of activating ASMase to a subject afflicted with a solid tumor, and thereby creating a time interval of increased susceptibility of said tumor to one or more chemotherapeutic agents, followed by administration of at least one chemotherapeutic agent within the interval. The interval can be defined in terms of a short-duration activation of ASMase signaling by the AAA. Disclosed are also methods for predicting the tumor response in a patient afflicted with a solid tumor to a chemotherapeutic agent, using as an indicator of the response ASMase level or activity (or ceramide level) in the patient following the administration of the chemotherapeutic agent to the patient, or dynamic IVIM based DW-MRI to measure perfusion alterations following administration of the chemotherapeutic agent. |

| ABSTRACT | It has been discovered that iron-platinum ferromagnetic particles can be dispersed in a polymer and coated into or onto, or directly linked to or embedded on to, medical devices and magnetized. The magnetized devices are used to attract, capture, and/or retain magnetically labeled cells on the surface of the device in vivo. The magnetic particles have an iron/platinum core. Annealing the Fe/Pt particle is very important for introducing a L10 interior crystalline phase. The Fe:Pt molar ratio for creation of the crystal phase is important and a molar range of 1.2-3.0 Fe to Pt (molar precursors, i.e. starting compounds) is desired for magnetization. The magnetic force as a whole can be measured with a “Super Conducting Quantum Interference Device”, which is a sensitive magnetometer. The overall magnetic force is in the range from 0.1 to 2.0 Tesla. |

| ABSTRACT | In a patient suffering from neural impairment, stimulation is provided to sensory surfaces of the face and/or neck, or more generally to areas of the body that stimulate the trigeminal nerve, while performing an activity intended to stimulate a brain function to be rehabilitated. The simulation may then be continued after the performance of the activity has ceased. It has been found that the patient's performance of the activity is then improved after stimulation has ceased. Moreover, it tends to improve to a greater extent, and/or for a longer time, when the post-activity stimulation is applied, as compared to when post activity stimulation is not applied. |

| ABSTRACT | A light source and a method of generating a light using the light source is disclosed. The light source is configured to produce a plurality of distinct colors in generating the light, one of the distinct colors falling within a blue spectral light band. A light controller modulates the spectral light produced by the plurality of distinct colors. The modulation provides melanopsin contrast in order to increase melanopsin responsiveness of a subject exposed to the generated light and maintains the color temperature, color quality, and color constancy experienced by the subject in a lit viewing environment within an acceptable range. |

| ABSTRACT | A diagnostic test for ovarian cysts is based on the detection of mutations characteristic of the most common neoplasms giving rise to these lesions. With this test, tumor-specific mutations were detected in the cyst fluids of 19 of 24 (79%) borderline tumors and 28 of 31 (90%) malignant ovarian cancers. In contrast, we detected no mutations in the cyst fluids from 10 non-neoplastic cysts and 12 benign tumors. When categorized by the need for exploratory surgery (i.e., presence of a borderline tumor or malignant cancer), the sensitivity of this test was 85% and the specificity was 100%. These tests could inform the diagnosis of ovarian cysts and improve the clinical management of the large number of women with these lesions. |

| ABSTRACT | In an image guidance method, a stream of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of an anatomical organ is acquired using a CBCT imaging device (34). For each CBCT image (44), the surface of the organ in the CBCT image is segmented to generate a segmented surface (70) of the anatomical organ in the CBCT image. Occluded shape reconstruction (66) using a statistical shape prior (68) may be used to reconstruct a missing or occluded surface portion. A pre-operative medical image (12) of the anatomical organ and the CBCT image are spatially registered by warping one of the images to the other of the images using point set registration of a segmented surface (30) of the organ in the preoperative medical image and the segmented surface of the organ in the CBCT image. A fused image (82) is displayed that combines the warped image and the other image. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to a Cu-BTC MOF which is water stable. The Cu-BTC MOF has open coordination sites and has been post synthesis modified by partially occupying the open sites with a ligand such as acetonitrile (CH3CN). The resultant MOF retains at least 40% of its as synthesized surface area after exposure to liquid water at 60° C. for 6 hours. This is an unexpected result versus the MOF which has not been post treated with ligands such as acetonitrile. This MOF can be used to abate contaminants such as ammonia in gas streams and especially air streams. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to a process for making combustible foam celluloid munition parts having high aspect ratios, different densities or having an insert embedded into the foam celluloid munition part. The process for making such foam celluloid munition part requires pre-soaking dry particles of celluloid, placing the celluloid particles into a munition part mold, exposing the celluloid particles to high heat and pressure until the celluloid particles expand and fuse into the shape of the mold. Varying the density or the size of the celluloid particles used in the process produces munition parts having different densities. In addition, the placement of inserts into the particles prior to exposure to high heat and pressure produces munition parts having inserts that are useful for identification and tracking of such parts. |

| ABSTRACT | In a projectile launch environment, a fuzing safety device independently generates its own voltage upon setback which then is then used to arm the projectile. The arming is done independently of any on board battery rise time, and setback scenarios are detected free of false impacts such as dropping or jostling. The fuzing safety device includes a piezoelectric sensor for detecting motion in the projectile. |

| ABSTRACT | The embodiments are directed to methods of initiating insensitive explosive formulations. The disclosed methods include positioning a donor explosive pellet adjacent to an insensitive acceptor explosive pellet having a plurality of relative percent theoretical maximum density (TMD) zones. The insensitive acceptor explosive pellet is adjacent to an insensitive explosive fill. Upon donor explosive pellet initiation, the donor explosive pellet provides a shock stimulus to the insensitive acceptor explosive pellet, which initiates the insensitive acceptor explosive pellet, causing a detonation wave to be driven through the plurality of relative percent TMD zones and into the insensitive explosive fill. |

| ABSTRACT | A thermocouple (TC) protection gauge may guard TCs from flying debris and fragments in an explosive environment or demanding commercial environments. The gauge may contain multiple co-located TCs. By using the protection gauge, the survivability of the TCs is significantly increased and allows for a longer time frame of data collection. Temperature data is acquired from multiple TCs that are experiencing approximately the same gas temperature and gas velocity. The temperature data may be used to reconstruct the real gas temperature of a dynamic event. Each of the TCs has a different diameter and therefore has a different time resolved temperature trace. The individual temperature traces may be used to extrapolate the real gas temperature using, for example, a reconstruction algorithm. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments relate to leads and polynyas forecasting. Initially observed ice forecast data is obtained for a geographic area of interest, which is then used to generate an ice grid based on the observed ice data, where the ice grid includes grid cells that map polar regions. At this stage, daily opening rates are determined based on the ice grid, where each daily opening rate indicates an opening speed of a corresponding ice event, and daily convergence strain rates are determined based on the ice grid, where each daily convergence strain rate indicates a convergence of the corresponding ice event. For each day, a daily opening rate is weighted and then adjusting by a daily convergence strain rate. A forecasted opening rate on a target date is determined based on the weighted, adjusted daily opening rates. Predicted openings of the polar region can be rendered based on the forecasted opening rate. |

| ABSTRACT | A high-speed imaging system for capturing images of flow created by initiation of energetic material includes a lens collector disposed in a protective shield. The protective shield helps protect the lens collector from damage due to the blast event. The lens connector is connected to an incoherent optical fiber bundle made of a bundle of coherent fiber bundles. The incoherent optical fiber bundle creates scrambled images that are relayed to a high-speed camera. A computer connected to the high-speed camera unscrambles the scrambled images to reproduce the images of the flow. |

| ABSTRACT | A transparent device for use in optical applications, and methods for using and manufacturing the device are disclosed. The device generally requires several layers, including (i) a first layer comprising a transparent conductive oxide (such as indium tin oxide (ITO)), (ii) a second layer comprising a transparent semiconductor (e.g., a pn-heterojunction or a pn-homojunction), the second layer having a surface facing the first layer, (iii) a third layer comprising a liquid crystal (such as E7), the third layer having a surface facing the second layer, and (iv) a fourth layer comprising either a second transparent conductive oxide or a second transparent semiconductor, the fourth layer having a surface facing the third layer. When light illuminates a surface of the transparent metal oxide pn-heterojunction or transparent metal oxide pn-homojunction, it induces photoconductivity, modifying the surface charges. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and process to determine whether a digital image has been manipulated involves determining expected locations of non-standard pixels in the digital image, and determining a feature for evaluating the non-standard pixels. The feature in pixels of the digital image that are located at the expected locations of non-standard pixels is then measured, and a statistical measure of the feature of pixels in the digital image that are located at the expected locations of non-standard pixels is evaluated. The digital image is assessed to determine a probability that the digital image includes a manipulated portion, based on the statistical measure. The system and process can also determine a make and model of an image sensing device via an examination of the non-standard pixels. |

| ABSTRACT | Measurement of entangled photon quantum wavefunction properties is vital for studying the fundamentals of entanglement and for future applications in quantum communications, quantum metrology, quantum sensing and imaging. Despite its importance, measuring the wavefunction is difficult, particularly in pulsed and other systems with system features and wavefunctions changing in space and time. This invention uses ghost imaging techniques to directly measure the entangled photon wavefunction of pulsed origin temporal and polarization entangled photons. The invention may be used to improve wavefunction quality after propagation through turbulent or scattering media. |

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

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides efficient processes for preparing brush polymers. In general, the process comprises three distinct reaction steps utilizing two separate catalysts. In the first step, the initiating compound comprising norbornene is contacted with a silane in the presence of a catalyst, thereby forming a silated intermediate. This silated intermediate is then contacted with a monomer in the presence of a catalyst via Group Transfer Polymerization (GTP). The resulting compound from GTP is contacted with a ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) catalyst to prepare the brush polymer. Surprisingly, the brush polymers obtained from the above process are accessed in an efficient and rapid GTP methodology as compared to prior methods. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for fabricating a composite useful in a white light emitting device, includes mixing a phosphor and a filler to form a mixture; sintering the mixture (e.g., using spark plasma sintering) to form a composite; and annealing the composite to reduce oxygen vacancies and improve optical properties of the composite. Also disclosed is a white light emitting device including a laser diode or light emitting diode optically pumping the phosphor in the composite to produce white light. The composite fabricated using the method (and having. e.g., at most 50% phosphor by weight) can (1) reduce an operating temperature of the phosphor by 55 degrees, (2) increase an external quantum efficiency (e.g., by at least 15%) of the white light emitting device, and (3) result in color points and quality of the white light that is equal to or improved, as compared to without the filler. |

| ABSTRACT | Catalyst composition and parameters for catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass to bio-oil fuels target municipal solid waste (MSW) rather than lignin rich plant waste typically sought for bio-oil production. An HTL (Hydrothermal Liquefaction) reactor generates bio-fuel from municipal solid waste (MSW), including receiving, in the HTL reactor, non-lignin based waste from a municipal processing stream, and adding a solvent for extracting sugars from green waste components of the municipal processing stream. The reactor extracts a liquid from the received waste, and converts water soluble products in the liquid into oil soluble products via C—C (carbon-to-carbon) coupling reactions. A catalyst added to the resulting aqueous stream recovers a beneficial oil product, and is optimized by tuning acid and base sites on the solid catalyst. |

| ABSTRACT | An airfoil includes an airfoil section that has an airfoil wall that surrounds a cavity. The airfoil wall includes an exterior monolithic ceramic shell and an interior CMC liner that has CMC plies. An outermost ply of the CMC plies forms tabs that are raised from an underlying ply so as to define a slot. The exterior monolithic ceramic shell includes an underlapping shell piece and an overlapping shell piece. The underlapping shell piece has a portion disposed in the slot and bonded with the tabs. The overlapping shell piece extends over the tabs and is bonded to the tabs. There are channels bounded by adjacent ones of the tabs, the underlapping shell piece, and the overlapping shell piece. Channel orifices through the CMC liner connect the cavity and the channels. |

| ABSTRACT | A self-healing vacuum insulation panel and a method of manufacture are provided. The vacuum insulation panel includes a self-healing, multi-layer barrier film including a separator between a curing agent and a curable resin. Upon damage to the separator, the curing agent penetrates the separator due to a pressure differential across the barrier film and reacts with the curable resin to seal any cuts or punctures. The curing agent and the curable resin can be selected to have long term stability and a short reaction time with no need for external stimuli. As a result, the multi-layer barrier film can retain the internal vacuum and maintain a desirably low thermal conductivity using low-cost, commercially available epoxies and curing agents. |

| ABSTRACT | A combustor may include a combustor liner and flow sleeve. A high pressure air cools an outer surface of the combustor liner via openings in the flow sleeve, creating a lower pressure air in an annulus between the combustor liner and the flow sleeve. A first fuel nozzle is positioned at a primary combustion zone, and a second fuel nozzle is positioned at a secondary combustion zone of the liner. A fuel source is configured to deliver a fuel to the fuel nozzles. The fuel nozzles produce a premixture of high pressure air and the fuel, and produce a mixture of the premixture and the lower pressure air, prior to introducing the mixture to a respective primary or secondary combustion zone of the combustor. The combustor provides improved fuel premixing and is fuel flexible, and reduces pressure drop requirements. The combustor is usable in a can, annular, or segmented annular combustor assembly. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, devices, and methods of diagnosing an electrochemical cell using cyclic coulometry are discussed. An exemplary battery diagnostic system comprises a current generator to generate symmetric charge current and discharge current to excite an electrochemical cell, and a cyclic coulometer to evaluate performance of the electrochemical cell. The cyclic coulometer can adjust at least one of a charge time for applying the charge current, or a discharge time for applying the discharge current, to keep a monitored cell voltage toward a specific setpoint. The adjustment of charge or discharge time can be achieved by changing a current switch timing for reversing current from a first to a second current direction. The cyclic coulometer measures one or more electrical parameters during the charge or discharge cycle, and generates a performance metric using the measured electrical parameters. |

| ABSTRACT | A radiation field is detected or imaged using one or more junction devices in which a two-dimensional conductor layer is capacitively coupled to a semiconductor absorber layer. In the junction devices, pixel-level amplification and read-out are accomplished through the photogating of the devices by absorption within the absorber layer while it is in a state of deep depletion. When the two-dimensional conductor is graphene, we refer to a device operating in that manner as a deeply depleted graphene-oxide-semiconductor (D2GOS) detector. |

| ABSTRACT | An approach is described that provides access to a named data element in a Coordination Namespace that is stored in a memory that is distributed amongst a set of nodes. A request of a name corresponding to the named data element is received from a requesting process and the approach responsively searches for the name in the Coordination Namespace. In response to determining an absence of data corresponding to the named data element, a pending state is indicated to the requesting process. In response to determining that the data corresponding to the named data element exists, a successful state is returned to the requesting process. In one embodiment, the successful state also includes providing the requesting process with access to the data corresponding to the named data element. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for accelerating an explicit finite element analysis (FEA) simulation of a modeled system or process includes performing an initial iteration of the FEA simulation according to a baseline time interval via an FEA computing network, and calculating a criteria ratio of a predetermined set of scaling criteria for the modeled system or process. The method includes determining a time-scaling factor using the criteria ratio via the FEA computing network as a function of the criteria ratio, and then applying the time-scaling factor to the baseline time interval to generate a scaled time interval. The scaled time interval accelerates simulation time of the FEA simulation. The method includes performing a subsequent iteration of the explicit FEA simulation at the scaled time interval using the FEA computing network. The process continues for subsequent iterations, with the time-scaling factor adapting with each iteration. |

| ABSTRACT | A system initializes a set of calibrated images with known 3D pose relative to a 3D building information model (BIM) to be anchor images, detects features within images of unknown position and orientation, and determines matches with features of the calibrated images. The system determines a subset of the images that have at least a threshold number of matching features, selects an image from the subset of the images having the largest number of matching features, and executes a reconstruction algorithm using the image and the anchor images to calibrate the image to the BIM and generate an initial 3D point cloud model. The system repeats the last steps to identify a second image from the subset and perform, starting with the initial 3D point cloud model and using the second image, 3D reconstruction to generate an updated 3D point cloud model that is displayable in a graphical user interface. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for tracking single-cell movement trajectories is disclosed. The system can record, to a plurality of frames, cells (events) within a microfluidic device. Also, the system can identify an event within each frame including whether the event is a single cell or multiple cells. When the event appears differently between frames (e.g., single cell in one frame and multiple cells in another frame), the system can either segment or merge the cell(s). Then, the system can determine a trajectory for the events based on a position of the event in the frames. Further, the system can determine cell properties based on the trajectory of the events. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for prediction of an indication of motion using input from an event-based camera includes receiving events captured by an event-based camera, wherein each of the events represents a location of a change in pixel intensity, a polarity of the change, and a time. The method further includes discretizing the events into time discretized event volumes, each of which contain events that occur within a specified time range. The method further includes providing the time discretized event volumes as input to an encoder-decoder neural network trained to predict an indication of motion using a loss function that measures quality of image deblurring; generating, using the neural network, a prediction of the indication of motion. The method further includes using the prediction of the indication of motion in a machine vision application. |

| ABSTRACT | A duoplasmatron ion source with a partially ferromagnetic anode can be used in multiple applications, including the production of negative ions for secondary ion mass spectrometers and particle accelerators. A partially ferromagnetic anode, which may be embodied in a partially ferromagnetic anode insert, includes a ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic portions joined together at a juncture, with an ion extraction aperture defined in the ferromagnetic portion and the juncture being laterally offset from the aperture. An asymmetric magnetic field produced by the partially ferromagnetic region facilitates extraction of charged ions from the central, most intense region of a source plasma in the duoplasmatron ion source. A ferromagnetic conical portion of the anode defines the ion extraction aperture in order to maximize the magnetic field in the vicinity of this aperture. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for electrically characterizing a layer disposed on a substrate and electrically insulated from the substrate is disclosed. The method can include forming a test pattern, contacting the test pattern with electrical contact elements at contact regions, and measuring an electrical parameter of the layer by passing a first set of test currents between contact regions. The test pattern can be formed by pushing a pattern forming head against a top surface of the layer, introducing a first fluid into the cavity, and converting the sacrificial portion of the layer into an insulator using the first fluid and forming the test pattern under the test-pattern-shaped inner seal. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and apparatuses for sensory electrical stimulation of the peripheral nervous system to improve human motor function and performance are described. Methods and devices may be used to enhance physical performance of athletes, professionals, and gamers or improve motor function (hand, finger and limb movement) in patients rehabilitating from neurological deficits and impairments caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury and other neurologic or non-neurologic conditions. These apparatuses and methods may be used for physical training and mental training (to improve memory and functional performance including motor coordination, limb-eye coordination, occupational and recreational skills) through periodic or sustained sensory electrical stimulation. Treatment plans may be based on biomarkers and may be used alone or in combination with other apparatuses. Learning and feedback techniques individualize treatment parameters depending on the subject's neurologic and motor function in diseased patients and healthy users. |

| ABSTRACT | An optomechanical pressure-measurement system measures pressure in the range of 10−6 Pa-10−2 Pa by measuring various properties of a vibrational mode of an ultra-thin membrane member. With independent measurements of the thickness and density of the membrane, in addition to the measured vibration mode properties, the system can operate as a primary pressure sensor. The membrane member is mounted on a vibration-isolated mount and is excited by a drive force. A laser beam impinges on the excited membrane, and an optical phase detector detects the amplitude of the oscillations, as well as parameters of the laser beam affected by the membrane vibration. In one embodiment, a mechanical damping is computed based on the amplitude or frequency shift (depending on the pressure range), and the pressure based on the ring-down time of the membrane vibration mode. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to a Cu-BTC MOF which is water stable. The Cu-BTC MOF has open coordination sites and has been post synthesis modified by partially occupying the open sites with a ligand such as acetonitrile (CH3CN). The resultant MOF retains at least 40% of its as synthesized surface area after exposure to liquid water at 60° C. for 6 hours. This is an unexpected result versus the MOF which has not been post treated with ligands such as acetonitrile. This MOF can be used to abate contaminants such as ammonia in gas streams and especially air streams. |

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 29, 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:
https://wayfinder.digital/fedinvent/patents-2022/details-patents-20220329.html
Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
