| ABSTRACT | The current subject matter includes methods, systems, articles, and techniques to deliver material to anucleate cells, such as red blood cells. Using a rapid deformation based microfluidic system, loading of red blood cells with macromolecules of different sizes has been shown. Although delivery to some mammalian cells, such as cancer cell lines and fibroblasts had been previously demonstrated using this technique, those designs were incompatible with RBCs that have dramatically different physical properties. Through the use of smaller constriction sizes, high speeds and different buffers successful delivery to red blood cells can be achieved. By enabling robust delivery to red blood cells in a simple, scalable manner, the current subject matter can be implemented in a diversity of applications that deliver material to study red blood cell diseases and/or use red blood cells as a therapeutic platform. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described. |

| ABSTRACT | A monolithic gas-sensing chip assembly for sensing a gas analyte includes a sensing material to detect the gas analyte, a sensing system including a resistor-capacitor electrical circuit, and a heating element. A sensing circuit measures an electrical response of the sensing system to an alternating electrical current applied to the sensing system at (a) one or more different frequencies, or (b) one or more different resistor-capacitor configurations of the system. One or more processors control a low detection range of the system to the gas, a high detection range of the system to the gas, a linearity of a response of the system to the gas, a dynamic range of measurements of the gas by the system, a rejection of interfering gas analytes by the system, a correction for aging or poisoning of the system, or a rejection of ambient interferences that may affect the electrical response of the system. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for phase correction in proton resonance frequency (PRF) thermometry application includes acquiring a series of magnetic resonance (MR) images comprising a first MR image and plurality of subsequent MR images depicting an anatomical area of interest. The MR images are acquired while tissue in the anatomical area of interest is undergoing a temperature change. Each subsequent MR image is registered to the first MR image to yield a plurality of registered images. A plurality of basis images are computed from the registered images using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The basis images are used to remove motion-related phase changes from a second series of MR images, thereby yielding a motion corrected second series of MR images. One or more temperature difference maps are generated that depict a relative temperature change for the tissue in the anatomical area of interest based on the motion corrected second series. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are various combinations of three different metal-oxide photocatalysts with three different bandgaps that can be used to harvest multiple wavelengths of incident solar radiation and to thus efficiently degrade recalcitrant contaminants. The photocatalysts are from the class of transition metal oxides and are non-toxic compounds based on earth-abundant materials. In some embodiments, particles of the photocatalysts are formed to be greater in diameter than about 0.1 μm in order to make them easier to filter out after treating the contaminant. In some embodiments, the metal-oxide photocatalysts are zinc oxide which is ultraviolet active, hematite which is active in the visible spectrum, and copper oxide which is active in the near infrared spectrum. Various combinations in various embodiments achieve measured contaminant degradation rates greater than the sum of the degradation rates of the individual photocatalysts that make up the combination. |

| ABSTRACT | A technique for non-invasively assessing current drawn by a device under test (DUT) by monitoring a supply voltage to the DUT. Frequency data for the DUT may be generated and used to form a current estimation model. First and second voltages are simultaneously measured using first and second test probes electrically connected to the DUT, while the first test probe is connected at a current source, and while the second test probe is connected at a DUT load that is configured to draw current from the current source. The current drawn by the DUT is then assessed by applying the current estimation model to the measured first and second voltages. In one case, the current drawn by the DUT is estimated without insertion of a circuit component into the DUT or extraction of a circuit conductor from the DUT. |

| ABSTRACT | Mechanisms are provided for detecting abnormal system call sequences in a monitored computing environment. The mechanisms receive, from a computing system resource of the monitored computing environment, a system call of an observed system call sequence for evaluation. A trained recurrent neural network (RNN), trained to predict system call sequences, processes the system call to generate a prediction of a subsequent system call in a predicted system call sequence. Abnormal call sequence logic compares the subsequent system call in the predicted system call sequence to an observed system call in the observed system call sequence and identifies a difference between the predicted system call sequence and the observed system call sequence based on results of the comparing. The abnormal call sequence logic generates an alert notification in response to identifying the difference. |

| ABSTRACT | Exemplary practice of the present invention provides a magnetostrictive actuator characterized by linear force output and uniform magnetic biasing. A center bias magnet combined with a flux transfer tube produces a uniform magnetic bias down the length of a magnetostrictive component. Depending on the inventive embodiment, the magnetostrictive component may include one magnetostrictive element or a pair of collinear magnetostrictive elements. A center bias magnet, in combination with a flux transfer tube, drives magnetic flux through the magnetostrictive component (e.g., a series of magnetostrictive rods) in opposite directions, while surrounding drive coils apply flux in the same direction through the magnetostrictive component. The net response is substantially linear with respect to the drive coil current. The flux transfer tube applies distributed magnetic flux to the magnetostrictive component at a rate that ensures uniform magnetic flux density down the length of the magnetostrictive component. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments are directed configurations of antenna elements for conformal phased arrays (e.g., circular or cylindrical) to support either omnidirectional or directional high-gain beams. Antenna elements may be spaced about a circle or cylinder with a vertical and circumferential element spacing that is based on a wavelength of an operational frequency. Such a configuration of antenna elements enables easy scaling to different frequency bands and a straightforward extension from single-linear to dual-linear polarization. Furthermore, the antenna elements and their configurations enable conformal phased arrays to be formed as one integrated structure or with multiple modular structures. |

| ABSTRACT | An SFQ circuit system includes at least one SFQ block having a plurality of SFQ logic gates. Characteristically, at least a portion of the SFQ logic gates are arranged in series. The SFQ circuit system includes a timing system configured to provide a first set of inputs and collect a first set of outputs of the at least one SFQ block at a rate defined by a slow clock frequency while the SFQ logic gates are clocked at a fast clock frequency. Advantageously, the rate is sufficiently slow to allow the first set of inputs to propagate through all levels of the SFQ logic gates to produce the first set of outputs of the at least one SFQ block without colliding with a second set of inputs to the at least one SFQ block. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques are described for carrier frequency offset (CFO) and channel estimation of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmissions over multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) frequency-selective fading channels. A wireless transmitter forms blocks of symbols by inserting training symbols within two or more blocks of information-bearing symbols. The transmitter applies a hopping code to each of the blocks of symbols to insert a null subcarrier at a different position within each of the blocks of symbols, and a modulator outputs a wireless signal in accordance with the blocks of symbols. A receiver receives the wireless signal and estimates the CFO, and outputs a stream of estimated symbols based on the estimated CFO. |

| ABSTRACT | A data management system and method for accelerating shared file checkpointing. Written application data is aggregated in an application data file created in a local burst buffer memory at a compute node, and an associated data mapping built index to maintain information related to the offsets into a shared file at which segments of the application data is to be stored in a parallel file system, and where in the buffer those segments are located. The node asynchronously transfers a data file containing the application data and the associated data mapping index to a file server for shared file storage. The data management system and method further accelerates shared file checkpointing in which a shared file, together with a map file that specifies how the shared file is to be distributed, is asynchronously transferred to local burst buffer memories at the nodes to accelerate reading of the shared file. |

| ABSTRACT | The harmonic combiner and divider efficiently combines multiple harmonic signals onto a common transmission line. Combined harmonic signals can be used to generate fast, high-fidelity arbitrary waveforms by superimposing the harmonics described in their Fourier series. Fast arbitrary waveforms have applications in communications, radar, and can be used for manipulating and controlling charged particle beams. The harmonic combiner and divider also efficiently divides fast arbitrary waveforms into their constituent harmonics and provides an efficient mechanism for waveform analysis and for multi-channel communications. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided are methods of producing nucleic acid libraries. In certain aspects, the methods include combining target nucleic acids (e.g., 5′ phosphorylated nucleic acids) and an oligonucleotide pool. Oligonucleotides of the oligonucleotide pool may include complementarity regions of varying length and nucleotide sequence, and a complementarity region identification sequence. In such aspects, the combining is under conditions in which oligonucleotides of the oligonucleotide pool hybridize to nucleic acids of the target nucleic acids (e.g., 5′ phosphorylated nucleic acids) having overhang regions that are complementary in sequence and have corresponding lengths with respect to the complementarity regions of the oligonucleotides. Compositions and kits that find use, e.g., in practicing the methods of the present disclosure are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | A time-wavelength optical sampling system may be configured to determine a substance's composition based on variations in optical pulses caused by the substance's absorption of wavelengths of the pulse. A dispersion medium may disperse pulses to form stretched signal pulses that are incident on a substance under test. Optical gating is used to overlap each signal pulse with a portion of a reference pulse to generate a cross-correlation signal corresponding to a portion of the signal pulse, which may be detected by a slow detection speed detector. A controller controls delay introduced to the reference pulses so that different wavelength ranges are sampled for various signal pulses, thereby enabling the entire wavelength range for the signal pulses to be sampled over time without requiring an expensive high-speed optical detector. By analyzing absorption across the entire wavelength range as indicated by cross-correlation signals, the composition of the substance can be identified. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving an RF signal having a carrier wave component operating at a carrier frequency within a millimeter wave spectrum and an information component based on a phase modulation of the carrier wave component. The received RF signal is divided into first and second signal portions that remain in phase with respect to each other. The first signal portion is delayed by one symbol period of the phase modulation and combined with the second signal portion to obtain a combined output signal. An in-phase portion of the combined output signal is detected via a non-linear energy detector, wherein an amplitude of the first detected signal corresponds to the in-phase portion of the received RF signal. The first combined output signal includes information of the information component. Other embodiments are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques are described for carrier frequency offset (CFO) and channel estimation of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmissions over multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) frequency-selective fading channels. A wireless transmitter forms blocks of symbols by inserting training symbols within two or more blocks of information-bearing symbols. The transmitter applies a hopping code to each of the blocks of symbols to insert a null subcarrier at a different position within each of the blocks of symbols, and a modulator outputs a wireless signal in accordance with the blocks of symbols. A receiver receives the wireless signal and estimates the CFO, and outputs a stream of estimated symbols based on the estimated CFO. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrochemical reactor for use with a liquid electrolyte is capable of generating gaseous products. An electrically conducting porous layer that is hydrophilic on the catalyst side and hydrophobic on the gas side are utilized. These different surface properties promote the transport of product gases formed at the catalyst through the porous layer to the gas side. The catalyst is formed from a hybrid Cu2O—CuBr film that has a high selectivity for ethylene gas from reacting CO2 and water in an electrochemical cell. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure describes an improved sample preparation technique and adapter device for the removal of trace materials from swabs and delivery of the trace materials into a mass spectrometer (MS) or an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS). The adapter device and technique aids the delivery of the analyte into the instrument inlet and concurrently serves as an ionization source. The technique includes the steps of positioning or shaping the swab so that a pointed analyte release corner or tip is directed toward the inlet of the MS or IMS, adding a solvent to the swab and charging the swab to create an ionized analyte spray pointed at or positioned within the inlet of the detection instrument. |

| ABSTRACT | A turbomachine includes a shroud and a rotor, which includes first and second blades. A first blade tip and a second blade tip respectively include a base and a first layer. The second blade tip also includes an abrasive second layer layered over the respective first layer. The first layer has a lower material hardness than the shroud. The second layer has a lower thermal stability than the shroud and the first layer. The rotor performs a grind operation and, subsequently, a post-grind operation. The second layer, in the grind operation, contacts and removes material from the shroud, and wears away, thereby revealing the first layer of the second blade tip for the post-grind operation. The first layer of the first blade tip is spaced apart with at least some radial clearance from the shroud in the grind and post-grind operations. |

| ABSTRACT | A technique for non-invasively assessing current drawn by a device under test (DUT) by monitoring a supply voltage to the DUT. Frequency data for the DUT may be generated and used to form a current estimation model. First and second voltages are simultaneously measured using first and second test probes electrically connected to the DUT, while the first test probe is connected at a current source, and while the second test probe is connected at a DUT load that is configured to draw current from the current source. The current drawn by the DUT is then assessed by applying the current estimation model to the measured first and second voltages. In one case, the current drawn by the DUT is estimated without insertion of a circuit component into the DUT or extraction of a circuit conductor from the DUT. |

| ABSTRACT | An SFQ circuit system includes at least one SFQ block having a plurality of SFQ logic gates. Characteristically, at least a portion of the SFQ logic gates are arranged in series. The SFQ circuit system includes a timing system configured to provide a first set of inputs and collect a first set of outputs of the at least one SFQ block at a rate defined by a slow clock frequency while the SFQ logic gates are clocked at a fast clock frequency. Advantageously, the rate is sufficiently slow to allow the first set of inputs to propagate through all levels of the SFQ logic gates to produce the first set of outputs of the at least one SFQ block without colliding with a second set of inputs to the at least one SFQ block. |

| ABSTRACT | A biometric access control system for controlling access to an environment based on an authorization status of a living subject is disclosed. In one example, a data source generates image data of a tissue region of the subject. A liveness measurement unit processes the image data to detect changes over at least one of time or spatial volume in one or more structural features of the tissue region and generates, based on the detected changes, a spoofing attack detection status indicating that the image data is from living biological tissue or that a spoofing attack is detected. A biometric identification unit processes at least a portion of the same image data generated by the data source to generate biometric information indicative of an identity of the subject. Responsive to the spoofing attack detection status and the biometric information, an authorization unit outputs an authorization status for the subject. |

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, April 12, 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.
