| ABSTRACT | Fentanyl is an addictive prescription opioid that is over 80 times mora potent than morphine. The synthetic nature of fentanyl has enabled the creation of dangerous “designer drug’ analogues that escape toxicology screening, yet display comparable potency to the parent drug. Alarmingly, a large number of fatalities have been linked to overdose of fentanyl derivatives. Herein, we report an effective immunotherapy for reducing the psychoactive effects of fentanyl class drugs. A single conjugate vaccine was created that elicited high levels of antibodies with cross-reactivity for a wide panel of fentanyl analogues, Moreover, vaccinated mice gained significant protection from lethal fentanyl doses. Lastly, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based technique was established enabling drug specificity profiling of antibodies derived directly from serum. Our newly developed fentanyl vaccine and analytical methods may assist in the battle against synthetic opioid abuse. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for the preparation of oligosaccharide products from polysaccharide starting materials are disclosed. The methods include: hydrolyzing a glucosamine-containing polysaccharide starting material, such as heparin or heparosan, under conditions sufficient to form an oligosaccharide intermediate (e.g., a GlcN-IdoA disaccharide intermediate or a GlcA-GlcN disaccharide intermediate), and converting the oligosaccharide intermediate to the oligosaccharide product. Conversion of the oligosaccharide intermediates to the oligosaccharide products may include one or more esterification, acylation, epimerization, protection, and deprotection steps. Preparation of higher-order oligomers is described, as well as methods for selective oligosaccharide sulfation. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided herein are methods of delivering “split” Cas9 protein or nucleobase editors into a cell, e.g., via a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV), to form a complete and functional Cas9 protein or nucleobase editor. The Cas9 protein or the nucleobase editor is split into two sections, each fused with one part of an intein system (e.g., intein-N and intein-C encoded by dnaEn and dnaEc, respectively). Upon co-expression, the two sections of the Cas9 protein or nucleobase editor are ligated together via intein-mediated protein splicing. Recombinant AAV vectors and particles for the delivery of the split Cas9 protein or nucleobase editor, and methods of using such AAV vectors and particles are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | Devices and methods generate an ordered restriction map of genomic DNA extracted from whole cells, nuclei, whole chromosomes, or other sources of long DNA molecules. The devices have a fluidic microchannel that merges into a reaction nanochannel that merges into a detection nanochannel at an interface where the nanochannel diameter decreases in size by between 50% to 99%. Intact molecules of DNA are transported to the reaction nanochannel and then fragmented in the reaction nanochannel using restriction endonuclease enzymes. The reaction nanochannel is sized and configured so that the fragments stay in an original order until they are injected into the detection nanochannel. Signal at one or more locations along the detection nanochannel is detected to map fragments in the order they occur along a long DNA molecule. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods, systems, compositions include biocompatible polymer coated nanoceria that function as aqueous redox catalyst with enhanced activity at an acidic to moderately alkaline pH value between 1 and 8. The compositions are used as oxidizing agents for decomposition, decontamination or inactivation of organic contaminants, such as, pesticides and chemical warfare agents. Another use includes nanoceria as targetable nanocatalyst prepared by conjugating various targeting ligands to the nanoparticle coating to form a colorimetric or fluorescent probe in immunoassays and other molecule binding assays that involve the use of a molecule in solution that changes the color of the solution or emits a fluorescent signal, where localization of nanoceria to organs or tissue is assessed by treatment with an oxidation sensitive dye or other detection devices. Versatility and uses of the nanoceria compositions are controlled by pH value, choice of dye substrate and thickness of the polymer coating on the ceria nanoparticles. |

| ABSTRACT | View-through sensors each locatable proximate to an eye of a user and for use while the user is engaged in viewing activity. Each view-through sensor has a view-through region that allows the user to view through the sensor. An active peripheral region at least partially surrounds the view-through region and includes multiple light-sensing regions for sensing light reflected from an eye. In some embodiments, the view-through sensor is configured to use environmental light for eye tracking. When the view-through sensor uses environmental light, spatial and temporal information about the intensity of the environmental light can be used to enhance eye-tracking performance. This information can be obtained, for example, from light-sensing regions on the reverse side of the view-through sensor, from an electronic display, or from a forward-facing camera. In some embodiments, the view-through sensor includes light-emitting regions that emit the light that the sensor uses to track eye movement. |

| ABSTRACT | Multi-shot diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging acquires multiple k-space segments of diffusion-weighted MRI data, estimates reconstructed multi-shot diffusion weighted images, and combines the estimated images to obtain a final reconstructed MRI image. The estimation of images iteratively calculates updated multi-shot images from the multiple k-space segments and current multi-shot images using a convex model without estimating motion-induced phase, constructs multiple locally low-rank spatial-shot matrices from the updated multi-shot images, and calculates current multi-shot images from spatial-shot matrices. |

| ABSTRACT | An explosive threat mitigation unit (TMU) stands ready to receive a suspected bomb, enclose it, and contain the explosion if one occurs. An operator protects bystanders and surroundings by putting the suspected bomb in a TMU and then closing the TMU. If the bomb goes off, the TMU mitigates the effects of both the blast and the fragments. One variation has a container, a tube, a cap, and a door. The container includes an opening. The tube, arranged in the container, aligns with the opening. The cap slides through the opening and over the tube. The door slides into place to close the opening and enclose the cap within the container. |

| ABSTRACT | A torque meter shaft that includes a hollow tube, a ring with ring tabs, the ring enveloping the hollow tube, a shaft with shaft tabs and a deformable section, the shaft disposed within the hollow tube such that the ring tabs and the shaft tabs correspond forming an inter-locking non-contact fit, and a first spline coupling and a second spline coupling. The first spline coupling communicates with an engine such that torque from the engine is transferred to the deformable section and elastically deforms when torque is applied to the first spline coupling and the shaft tabs change radial position relative to the position of the ring tabs such that relative change in torque can be measured, and when torque results in creating a shaft deformation that passes the material yield point, the ring tabs and shaft tabs contact each other, and the ring tabs are pushed back into a new position that compensates for the shaft deformation allowing the engine to maintain its full power capacity. |

| ABSTRACT | An optimally stopped heuristic optimizer includes a processor. The processor heuristically generates a sequence of proposed solutions for solving a discrete optimization problem associated with an objective function, and for each additional proposed solution of the sequence, derives an estimate of a quality distribution that is based on the sequence including the additional proposed solution. The quality distribution assigns a probability to each of the proposed solutions according to quality of the proposed solution. The processor further, responsive to a most recent additional proposed solution of the sequence having quality better than a quality threshold that is defined by the estimate corresponding to the sequence including the most recent additional proposed solution, commands a stop such that further proposed solutions to the discrete optimization problem are no longer generated, and identifies and outputs a selected one of the sequence having best quality. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrically conductive, flexible, strain resilient product is produced by mixing metal coated carbon nanotube networks with a liquid polymeric resin to produce a liquid mixture, and the mixture is cured to produce the product. The networks may include welded junctions between nanotubes formed by depositing and melting metal nanoparticles on the nanotubes to form the metal coating. After the mixing step the liquid mixture may be deposited on a flexible substrate in the form of an electrical circuit. The mixing step may further include mixing the composite with a volatile solvent to produce a selected viscosity. Then, a three-dimensional printer may be used to print the product, such as an electrical circuit, on a substrate. The product is cured in an atmosphere that absorbs the solvent. The conductivity of the mixture may be adjusted by adjusting the weight percentage of the metal coated carbon nanotube networks from 50% to 90%, but a preferred range is between 75% and 85%. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosed embodiments provide an optically switched network system. This system includes a passive optical switch with N inputs and N outputs, which can communicate different wavelengths from each of the N inputs to each of the N outputs. It also includes N end-nodes, and N pairs of optical fibers, wherein each pair connects one of the N end-nodes to one of the N inputs and one of the N outputs. The optically switched network is organized into a virtual data plane and a virtual control plane, which both communicate through the same underlying physical network. The virtual data plane provides any-to-all parallel connectivity for data transmissions among the N end-nodes. The virtual control plane is organized as a ring that serially connects the N end-nodes, wherein the ring communicates arbitration information among distributed-arbitration logic at each of the N end-nodes. |

| ABSTRACT | The present development is a metal particle coated nanowire catalyst for use in the hydrodesulfurization of fuels and a process for the production of the catalyst. The catalyst comprises titanium(IV) oxide nanowires wherein the nanowires are produced by exposure of a TiO2—KOH paste to microwave radiation. Metal particles selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, or a combination thereof, are impregnated on the metal oxide nanowire surface. The metal impregnated nanowires are sulfided to produce catalytically-active metal particles on the surface of the nanowires The catalysts of the present invention are intended for use in the removal of thiophenic sulfur from liquid fuels through a hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process in a fixed bed reactor. The presence of nanowires improves the HDS activity and reduces the sintering effect, therefore, the sulfur removal efficiency increases. |

| ABSTRACT | A fluid-powered linear motor with rotary pistons is disclosed. An application is for a downhole motor but it could be used in other applications. Rotational pistons provide increased torque generation as the torque generated is proportional to motor length. Since downhole drills are long (generally up to a maximum length of 30 ft.), a high-torque motor can be produced using this method. A pressurized fluid is used to drive the piston assemblies to produce bit shaft power. This concept employs rotary pistons and a mechanical rectifier to convert the rotational reciprocation produced by a reciprocating rotational piston into continuous rotary motion. Integration of synthetic diamond bearing assemblies into the motor allows for reduced friction and abrasive drilling fluid compatibility. |

| ABSTRACT | A processing unit includes compute units partitioned into one or islands that are provided with operating voltages and clock signals having clock frequencies independent of providing operating voltages or clock signals to other islands of compute units. The processing unit also includes dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) hardware configured to compute one or more numbers of active memory barriers in the one or more islands. The DVFS hardware is also configured to modify the operating voltages or clock frequencies provided to the one or more islands in response to a change in numbers of active memory barriers in the one or more islands. In some cases, the operating voltage or clock frequency provided to an island is increased in response to the number of active memory barriers in the island decreasing. The operating voltage or clock frequency provided to the island is decreased in response to the number of active memory barriers in the island increasing. |

| ABSTRACT | High capacity silicon based anode active materials are described for lithium ion batteries. These materials are shown to be effective in combination with high capacity lithium rich cathode active materials. Supplemental lithium is shown to improve the cycling performance and reduce irreversible capacity loss for at least certain silicon based active materials. In particular silicon based active materials can be formed in composites with electrically conductive coatings, such as pyrolytic carbon coatings or metal coatings, and composites can also be formed with other electrically conductive carbon components, such as carbon nanofibers and carbon nanoparticles. Additional alloys with silicon are explored. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for modifying a polymeric surface is disclosed. The polymeric surface is activated utilizing atmospheric pressure plasma. An atom transfer radical polymerization initiator is then coupled to the activated surface. A monomer is then polymerized on the activated surface utilizing an activators regenerated by electron transfer (ARGET) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) process. The method enables brush-modification of the polymeric surface, even if the polymeric surface is substantially chemically inert. By way of example, the method enables a chemically inert, substantially hydrophobic polymer surface to be functionalized with substantially hydrophilic polymer brushes. The methods of the present disclosure have general applicability to a myriad of implementations where tunable surface chemistry is advantageous, such as filtration membranes, marine surfaces, and medical devices seeking a biocompatible coating. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is a linear voltage regulator with an input terminal, an output terminal, a pass device electrically connected to the input terminal and the output terminal, and an error amplifier that controls the output voltage at the output terminal by controlling the voltage drop across the pass device. The disclosed linear voltage regulator includes a light emitting section electrically connected in series with the pass device between the input terminal and the output terminal and a photovoltaic section, electrically connected to the output terminal, that receives photons emitted by the light emitting section and outputs a current to output terminal. The disclosed linear voltage regulator is more efficient than conventional linear voltage regulators because, unlike in those convention linear voltage regulators, the voltage drop across the pass device is only a fraction of the total potential difference between the input terminal and the output terminal. |

| ABSTRACT | View-through sensors each locatable proximate to an eye of a user and for use while the user is engaged in viewing activity. Each view-through sensor has a view-through region that allows the user to view through the sensor. An active peripheral region at least partially surrounds the view-through region and includes multiple light-sensing regions for sensing light reflected from an eye. In some embodiments, the view-through sensor is configured to use environmental light for eye tracking. When the view-through sensor uses environmental light, spatial and temporal information about the intensity of the environmental light can be used to enhance eye-tracking performance. This information can be obtained, for example, from light-sensing regions on the reverse side of the view-through sensor, from an electronic display, or from a forward-facing camera. In some embodiments, the view-through sensor includes light-emitting regions that emit the light that the sensor uses to track eye movement. |

| ABSTRACT | Improved techniques for dynamically responding to a fluctuating workload. Resources are reactively scaled for memory-intensive applications and automatically adapted to in response to workload changes without requiring pre-specified thresholds. A miss ratio curve (MRC) is generated for an application based on application runtime statistics. This MRC is then modeled as a hyperbola. An area on the hyperbola is identified as satisfying a flatten threshold. A resource allocation threshold is then established based on the identified area. This resource allocation threshold indicates how many resources are to be provisioned for the application. The resources are scaled using a resource scaling policy that is based on the resource allocation threshold. |

| ABSTRACT | A system may sense the contents of a closed container, by analyzing a wireless signal that reflects from an RFID tag on the outside of the container. The frequency response of the tag's antenna may be affected by the relative permittivity of the contents and by the tag's environment. The frequency response may be measured in a line-of-sight environment and in a multipath environment. Channel estimates may be calculated, based on the measurements. Channel ratios may be calculated by dividing line-of-sight channel estimates by multipath channel estimates. The resulting channel ratios may be fed into a variational autoencoder, which in turn generates synthetic data that contains information about multipath environments but not the contents. The output of the variational autoencoder may be converted into synthetic channel estimates, which may in turn be employed for anomaly detection, or to train a classifier to classify contents of the container. |

| ABSTRACT | An optimally stopped heuristic optimizer includes a processor. The processor heuristically generates a sequence of proposed solutions for solving a discrete optimization problem associated with an objective function, and for each additional proposed solution of the sequence, derives an estimate of a quality distribution that is based on the sequence including the additional proposed solution. The quality distribution assigns a probability to each of the proposed solutions according to quality of the proposed solution. The processor further, responsive to a most recent additional proposed solution of the sequence having quality better than a quality threshold that is defined by the estimate corresponding to the sequence including the most recent additional proposed solution, commands a stop such that further proposed solutions to the discrete optimization problem are no longer generated, and identifies and outputs a selected one of the sequence having best quality. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to a novel method and system for crater detection in planetary data based on marked point processes (MPP), effective for various object detection tasks in Earth observation, and for planetary image registration. The resulting spatial features are exploited for registration, together with fitness functions based on the MPP energy, on the mean directed Hausdorff distance, and on the mutual information. Two different methods—one based on birth-death processes and region-of-interest analysis, and the other based on graph cuts and decimated wavelets—are included within the present framework. Experimental results confirmed the effectiveness of the present invention in terms of crater detection performance and sub-pixel registration accuracy. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention relates to an end-effector device and automated selective thinning system. The system includes vision acquisition hardware, kinematic targeting and heuristic programming, a robotic arm, and a pomologically designed end-effector. The system is utilized to improve efficiency for the fruit-thinning process in a tree orchard, such as peach thinning. By automating the mechanical process of fruit thinning, selective fruit-thinners can eliminate manual labor inputs and further enhance favorable blossom removal. Automation used in conjunction with a heuristic approach provides improvements to the system. The system may also be configured as a robotic arm or as a handheld system by including a battery and switching microcontroller with handle or wrist straps. Handheld thinning devices that are mechanical in nature may also be part of the system. |

| ABSTRACT | An explosive threat mitigation unit (TMU) stands ready to receive a suspected bomb, enclose it, and contain the explosion if one occurs. An operator protects bystanders and surroundings by putting the suspected bomb in a TMU and then closing the TMU. If the bomb goes off, the TMU mitigates the effects of both the blast and the fragments. One variation has a container, a tube, a cap, and a door. The container includes an opening. The tube, arranged in the container, aligns with the opening. The cap slides through the opening and over the tube. The door slides into place to close the opening and enclose the cap within the container. |

| ABSTRACT | Various examples of a high frequency, inductor and transformer core loss characterization and measurement method and system for arbitrary waveforms are disclosed herein. A system and method for determining core loss of a magnetic core can include generating a waveform to excite a first test circuit which comprises an excitation circuit, a circuit under test (CUT) comprising the magnetic core, and an inductance circuit having an inductor connected in parallel to the CUT. The method includes measuring a first current, when the first test circuit is excited. The method includes disconnecting the CUT from the first test circuit to form a second test circuit. The method includes generating the waveform to excite the second test circuit, and measuring a second current, when the second test circuit is excited. The power loss for the magnetic core is calculated based on an input voltage and the first and second measured current. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is a linear voltage regulator with an input terminal, an output terminal, a pass device electrically connected to the input terminal and the output terminal, and an error amplifier that controls the output voltage at the output terminal by controlling the voltage drop across the pass device. The disclosed linear voltage regulator includes a light emitting section electrically connected in series with the pass device between the input terminal and the output terminal and a photovoltaic section, electrically connected to the output terminal, that receives photons emitted by the light emitting section and outputs a current to output terminal. The disclosed linear voltage regulator is more efficient than conventional linear voltage regulators because, unlike in those convention linear voltage regulators, the voltage drop across the pass device is only a fraction of the total potential difference between the input terminal and the output terminal. |

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 19, 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.
