| ABSTRACT | Methods are disclosed for forming tissue engineered, tubular gut-sphincter complexes from intestinal circular smooth muscle cells, sphincteric smooth muscle cells and enteric neural progenitor cells. The intestinal smooth muscle cells and neural progenitor cells can be seeded on a mold with a surface texture that induces longitudinal alignment of the intestinal smooth muscle cells and co-cultured until an innervated aligned smooth muscle sheet is obtained. The innervated smooth muscle sheet can then be wrapped around a tubular scaffold to form an intestinal tissue construct. Additionally, the sphincteric smooth muscle cells and additional enteric neural progenitor cells can be mixed in a biocompatiable gel solution, and the gel and admixed cells applied to a mold having a central post such that the sphinteric smooth muscle and neural progenitor cells can be cultured to form an innervated sphincter construct around the mold post. This innervated sphincter construct can also be transferred to the tubular scaffold such that the intestinal tissue construct and sphincter construct contact each other, and the resulting combined sphincter and intestinal tissue constructs can be further cultured about the scaffold until a unified tubular gut-sphincter complex is obtained. |

| ABSTRACT | Autophagy is the principal catabolic response to nutrient starvation. However, excessive autophagy can be cytotoxic or cytostatic, and contribute to cell death, but its mechanism of induction remains elusive. Here, it was demonstrated that prolonged arginine starvation by ADI-PEG20 induced an autophagy-dependent death of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1)-deficient breast cancer cells. Consequently, arginine depleting agents such as ADI-PEG20 may be used in methods for killing one or more argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1)-deficient breast cancer cells. Further, abundance of ASS1 was either low or absent in more than 60% of 149 random breast cancer biosamples, which could be exploited as candidates for arginine starvation therapy. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and devices are provided for treating a food allergy in a subject in need thereof. The method entails delivering an effective amount of an allergen associated with the food allergy into the subject's cutis skin layer. Delivering the allergen is carried out by inserting one or more allergen-coated solid microneedles into the subject's skin. The one or more solid microneedles each has a base, shaft and tip, and when inserted in the subject, do not extend beyond the cutis. The allergen is allowed to dissociate from the one or more microneedles while inserted in the subject's cutis. Once the allergen disassociates, the one or more microneedles is removed from the subject's skin. |

| ABSTRACT | D2C7-(scdsFv)-PE38KDEL (D2C7-IT) is a recombinant Pseudomonas exotoxin A-based immunotoxin (IT), targeting both wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFRwt) and mutant EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII) proteins overexpressed in glioblastomas. A good laboratory practice (GLP) manufacturing process was developed to produce sufficient material for a Phase I/II clinical trial. D2C7-IT was expressed under the control of the T7 promoter in Escherichia coli BLR (λ DE31). D2C7-IT was produced by a 10 L batch fermentation process and was then purified from inclusion bodies using anion exchange, size exclusion, and an endotoxin removal process that achieved a yield of over 300 mg of purified protein. |

| ABSTRACT | A multiplexed digital detection platform embodiment for molecular species in solution is based on a single-molecule immunochemistry, and/or aptamer chemistry, on color-barcoded beads. Beads that capture molecular species from a complex sample using selective binders are exposed to a test sample, and the captured molecular species is tagged using second affinity probes that are linked to photocleavable nucleic acid particles. In the embodiment, the beads are then introduced to a counter system that comprises a microcavity/nanopore device. Once a bead is captured by the micropore, nucleic acid particles, e.g., reporter nucleic acid nanoparticles (rNANPs), are released using photocleavage, and are detected by the nanopore. Each electrical spike that is uniquely produced by the nucleic acid nanoparticle is counted as a single molecular species, and the total count represents the overall number of molecular species in the sample. Various molecular species can be detected at the same time. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for quantifying T1, T2 and resonance frequency simultaneously using magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) includes accessing an MRF dictionary using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The MRF dictionary is generated by simulating signal evolutions that include associated off-resonance effects for each signal evolution. The method further includes acquiring MRF data from a region of interest in a subject using the MRI system and a MRF pulse sequence having a plurality of radio frequency (RF) excitations and a readout associated with each RF excitation. Each readout includes a plurality of segments and each segment is used to generate a time frame. The method also include comparing the MRF data to the MRF dictionary to identify a plurality of parameters including T1, T2 and resonance frequency for the MRF data and generating a report indicating the at least one of the plurality of parameters of the MRF data. |

| ABSTRACT | A diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method acquires MRI scan data from a multi-direction, multi-shot, diffusion-weighted MRI scan, and jointly reconstructs from the MRI scan data 1) magnitude images for multiple diffusion-encoding directions and 2) phase images for multiple shots and multiple diffusion-encoding directions using an iterative reconstruction method. Each iteration of the iterative reconstruction method comprises a gradient calculation, a phase update to update the phase images, and a magnitude update to update the magnitude images. Each iteration minimizes a cost function comprising a locally low-rank (LLR) regularization constraint on the magnitude images from the multiple diffusion-encoding directions. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments of the systems can be configured to receive electromagnetic emissions of a substrate (e.g., a build material of a part being made via additive manufacturing) by a detector (e.g., a multi-spectral sensor) and generate a ratio of the electromagnetic emissions to perform spectral analysis with a reduced dependence on location and orientation of a surface of the substrate relative to the multi-spectral sensor. The additive manufacturing process can involve use of a laser to generate a laser beam for fusion of the build material into the part. The system can be configured to set the multi-spectral sensor off-axis with respect to the laser (e.g., an optical path of the multi-spectral sensor is at an angle that is different than the angle of incidence of the laser beam). This can allow the multi-spectral sensor to collect spectral data simultaneously as the laser is used to build the part. |

| ABSTRACT | During GPS-denied/restricted navigation, images proximate a platform device are captured using a camera, and corresponding motion measurements of the platform device are captured using an IMU device. Features of a current frame of the images captured are extracted. Extracted features are matched and feature information between consecutive frames is tracked. The extracted features are compared to previously stored, geo-referenced visual features from a plurality of platform devices. If one of the extracted features does not match a geo-referenced visual feature, a pose is determined for the platform device using IMU measurements propagated from a previous pose and relative motion information between consecutive frames, which is determined using the tracked feature information. If at least one of the extracted features matches a geo-referenced visual feature, a pose is determined for the platform device using location information associated with the matched, geo-referenced visual feature and relative motion information between consecutive frames. |

| ABSTRACT | Exemplary inventive practice replicatively tests the effects of cleaning processes applied to marine hulls coated with biofouling-control substances. A sample (e.g., antifouling-coated panel) is coupled with a trolley that is linearly moveable via trolley wheels upon two parallel tracks provided along the length of an open rectangular box-shaped tank, partially filled with natural or artificial seawater. The cleaning element (e.g., brush bristles) points vertically upward in a stationary position atop a motorized cleaning unit installed proximate the bottom of the tank. In accordance with the trolley's horizontal movement, and while the sample and cleaning element are immersed in seawater, the sample traverses the cleaning element in a contactual manner that mimics underwater cleaning dynamics for a hull surface. Using sensory data, seawater portions are evaluated to relate the cleaning instrumentation and operation to the nature and degree of biocides and chemicals that, concomitant the cleaning, are released into the seawater. |

| ABSTRACT | An optically gated transistor (OGT) device that may be used as a selector device for one or more variable resistive memory devices. The OGT device isolates the one or more variable resistive memory devices when the OGT is not optically activated. The amount of current conducted by the OGT device is dependent on an intensity of light optically applied to the OGT device. The OGT device includes alternating layers of germanium selenide (GeSe) and GeSe plus an additional element deposited on a substrate. The OGT device includes only two electrodes connected to the alternating layers deposited on the substrate. The OGT device may generate an amplified electrical signal with respect to the magnitude of a received optical signal. The OGT device may be used to generate an optical signal having a different wavelength than the wavelength of a received optical signal. |

| ABSTRACT | A time transfer modem includes a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC), a radio frequency (RF) front end, and processing circuitry. The RF front end is configured to receive and up-convert an input for time transfer with a remote station to generate an up-converted timing signal centered at a select frequency that is outside of a frequency range of interest but within an operational frequency range of the RFIC. The RF front end may also be configured to attenuate, via a pre-selection filter, up-converted adjacent signals to generate a filtered timing signal at the select frequency. The RFIC may be configured to down-convert and digitize the filtered timing signal to generate a digitized timing signal for signal processing by the processing circuitry to determine a clock difference between a local clock signal and the digitized timing signal that originated from the remote station. |

| ABSTRACT | Epidermal electronics are sensors with mechanical properties matching human epidermis. Their manufacturing process includes photolithography and dry and wet etching within cleanroom facilities. The high cost of manpower, materials, photo masks, and facilities greatly hinders the commercialization potential of disposable epidermal electronics. In contrast, an embodiment of the invention includes a low cost, high throughput, bench top “cut-and-paste” method to complete the freeform manufacture of epidermal sensor system (ESS) in minutes. This versatile method works for many types of thin metal and polymeric sheets and is compatible with many tattoo adhesives or medical tapes. The resultant ESS is highly multimaterial and multifunctional and may measure ECG, EMG, skin temperature, skin hydration, as well as respiratory rate. Also, a stretchable planar coil made of serpentine ribbons can be used as a wireless strain gauge and/or a near field communication (NFC) antenna. Other embodiments are described herein. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for quantifying T1, T2 and resonance frequency simultaneously using magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) includes accessing an MRF dictionary using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The MRF dictionary is generated by simulating signal evolutions that include associated off-resonance effects for each signal evolution. The method further includes acquiring MRF data from a region of interest in a subject using the MRI system and a MRF pulse sequence having a plurality of radio frequency (RF) excitations and a readout associated with each RF excitation. Each readout includes a plurality of segments and each segment is used to generate a time frame. The method also include comparing the MRF data to the MRF dictionary to identify a plurality of parameters including T1, T2 and resonance frequency for the MRF data and generating a report indicating the at least one of the plurality of parameters of the MRF data. |

The method includes positioning a paraboloidal mirror around the sample such that a focal point of the paraboloidal mirror is coplanar with the focal plane of the detection objective and the plane of interest of the sample. The method includes directing a beam of annularly collimated excitation light on the paraboloidal mirror to focus a disc of light on the sample and thereby to provide 360 degree lateral illumination of the sample. The method includes imaging the sample through the detection objective. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus is disclosed for performing an additive manufacturing operation to form a structure by processing a photopolymer resist material. The apparatus may incorporate a laser for generating a laser beam, and a tunable mask for receiving the laser beam which has an optically dispersive element. The mask splits the laser beam into a plurality of emergent beams each having a subplurality of beamlets of varying or identical intensity, with each beamlet emerging from a unique subsection of illuminated regions of the mask. A collimator collimates at least one of the emergent beams to form a collimated beam. One or more focusing elements focuses the collimated beam into a focused beam which is projected as a focused image plane on or within the resist material. The focused beam simultaneously illuminates a layer of the resist material to process an entire layer in a parallel fashion. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques for generating full-spatial resolution, full spectral resolution image(s) from a 3D spectral-data cube for any spectral value within a given spectral range are provided without requiring the acquisition of all full-spatial resolution, full spectral resolution data by an instrument. The 3D spectral-data cube is generated from a limited number of full-spatial resolution, sparse spectral resolution data and a sparse-spatial resolution, full-spectral resolution data of the same area of the sample. The use of the 3D spectral-data cube reduces the data acquisition time. |

| ABSTRACT | This document describes systems and techniques for evaluating and improving distribution-grid observability. These systems and techniques allow engineers to quantify the observability of a distribution grid, which represents an ability to combine actual measurements and various types of computations (e.g., analytics, estimators, forecasters), from a system model. Distribution engineers can also identify islands of observability where operating parameters, including voltages, currents, and power flows, can be determined from available sensor readings. By exclusion, distribution engineers can similarly identify areas of the distribution grid with observability deficiencies that may require additional instrumentation to maintain proper operation. Distribution engineers, using an iterative or automated process, can determine the observability of the system model with new or relocated sensors to generate a sensor allocation plan. The sensor allocation plan can indicate the number and location of sensors to either maximize observability for a fixed sensor cost or minimize sensor cost for predetermined observability. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides methods for producing cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. Cathode materials that contain manganese are emphasized. Representative materials include LixNi1-y-zMnyCozO2 (NMC) (where x is in the range from 0.80 to 1.3, y is in the range from 0.01 to 0.5, and z is in the range from 0.01 to 0.5), LixMn2O4(LM), and LixNi1-yMnyO2 (LMN) (where x is in the range from 0.8 to 1.3 and y is in the range from 0.0 to 0.8). The process includes reactions of carboxylate precursors of nickel, manganese, and/or cobalt and lithiation with a lithium precursor. The carboxylate precursors are made from reactions of pure metals or metal compounds with carboxylic acids. The manganese precursor contains bivalent manganese and the process controls the oxidation state of manganese to avoid formation of higher oxidation states of manganese. |

| ABSTRACT | Pulsed power loads (PPLs) are highly non-linear and can cause significant stability and power quality issues in an electrical microgrid. According to the present invention, many of these issues can be mitigated by an Energy Storage System (ESS) that offsets the PPL. The ESS can maintain a constant bus voltage and decouple the generation sources from the PPL. For example, the ESS specifications can be obtained with an ideal, band-limited hybrid battery and flywheel system. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for adaptive phase control of a distributed propulsion (DP) aircraft includes deriving an estimated source noise level of the aircraft's propulsors with respect to a designated low-noise area on the ground. Responsive to the estimated source noise level, a phase generator module estimates a ground noise level using the source noise level. The method includes determining an optimized set of relative azimuthal propulsor blade positions/phase angles, via the phase generator module, with such optimized phase angles being sufficient for reducing the estimated ground noise level. Phase control signals from a flight controller to the respective propulsors establishes the optimized set of relative phase angles, and thereby reduces community noise in the designated low-noise area. The DP aircraft includes an aircraft body, the flight controller, and the above-noted phase generator module. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to a phononic-isolated Kinetic Inductance Detector (KID) and a method of fabrication thereof. The KID is a highly sensitive superconducting cryogenic detector which can be scaled to very large format arrays. The fabrication process of the KID of the present invention integrates a phononic crystal into a KID architecture. The phononic structures are designed to reduce the loss of recombination and athermal phonons, resulting in lower noise and higher sensitivity detectors. |

| ABSTRACT | An unmanned, automated aerial system is programmed to fly in a set pattern around an antenna. The antenna is supported by a structure on the ground, or attached to an aerostat, according to its operational wavelength, in order to avoid ground effects. The radiation pattern of the antenna under test is measured by an antenna onboard the aerial system. The positional data of both antennas is logged to account for any interference in the measurements due to atmospheric conditions. |

| ABSTRACT | Transistors are fabricated by forming a nitride-based semiconductor barrier layer on a nitride-based semiconductor channel layer and forming a protective layer on a gate region of the nitride-based semiconductor barrier layer. Patterned ohmic contact metal regions are formed on the barrier layer and annealed to provide first and second ohmic contacts. The annealing is carried out with the protective layer on the gate region. A gate contact is also formed on the gate region of the barrier layer. Transistors having protective layer in the gate region are also provided as are transistors having a barrier layer with a sheet resistance substantially the same as an as-grown sheet resistance of the barrier layer. |

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 26, 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-20220426.html
Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
