| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides a composition comprising an opioid agonist, and a polymer-antagonist conjugate. The polymer-antagonist conjugate preferably does not hydrolyze upon administration to a patient, and does not bind to the opioid receptors. The covalent bond between the polymer and the antagonist in the conjugate is broken over a defined period of time to release the antagonist into the formulation. The released antagonist attenuates the liking of the agonist, thereby eliminating the incentive to the diversion of the medicines. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are methods and compositions using PTH and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treatment of osteoporosis, bone fractures, and related conditions. Administration of both PTH and MSCs leads to increased homing of MSCs to sites of vertebral bone and rib fracture. The described methods and compositions provide therapeutic approaches that rely, in-part, on stem cell capacity for regeneration and repair. The potential for enhanced bone formation and fracture repair may allow for both preventative and palliative treatments in osteoporotic patients, with combined PTH+MSC therapy producing bone regeneration capacity that is significantly superior to either treatment alone. |

| ABSTRACT | A platform technology has been designed to provide a means for controlled delivery of single or multiple doses of therapeutic, prophylactic, diagnostic or identifying agents to livestock. The delivery system is based on a livestock ear tag that releases therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent when applied to the ear or other desired anatomical target of the animal. The agent to be delivered is encapsulated in or on microneedles and or microparticles and or nanoparticles or combination thereof on a surface thereon of the male or female part of the tag, which is pressed into the skin so that the microneedles penetrate into the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. The agent is then released into the animal from the microneedles and or microparticles and or nanoparticles or combination thereof at the site of contact into the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. |

| ABSTRACT | Described here is a deep brain stimulation (“DBS”) approach that targets several relevant nodes within brain circuitry, while monitoring multiple symptoms for efficacy. This approach to multi-symptom monitoring and stimulation therapy may be used as an extra stimulation setting in extant DBS devices, particularly those equipped for both stimulation and sensing. The therapeutic efficacy of DBS devices is extended by optimizing them for multiple symptoms (such as sleep disturbance in addition to movement disorders), thus increasing quality of life for patients. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for performing serial crystallography by providing an aqueous suspension of a crystal sample to a T-junction at a first flow rate and providing an immiscible oil fluid to the T-junction at a second flow rate. The aqueous suspension and the oil are combined at the T-junction to produce a co-flow output fluid including a parallel co-flow of the aqueous suspension and the oil in the same output channel. The co-flow output fluid is ejected as a jet stream through a nozzle and the sample flow rate in the crystal sample in the jet stream is adjusted by adjusting the first flow rate of the aqueous suspension and the second flow rate of the oil. By combining the aqueous sample and the oil in this manner, the output of the jet stream can be regulated for compatibility with X-ray free electron laser serial crystallography. |

| ABSTRACT | In some implementations, a system causes electronic devices to initiate different types of interactions with users of the electronic devices, the interactions being initiated based on rules to selectively cause initiation of the interactions for the users. The system receives user action data from electronic devices that are associated with a particular program. The system generates log data that tracks instances in which conditions or triggers of the rules of the particular program are satisfied. Based on the user action data of the multiple users and the log data, the system evaluates effectiveness of the rules in maintaining or improving engagement of the users with the particular program. The system generates rule adjustment information for the particular program, such as information indicating one or more changes to the rules of the particular program or one or more new rules for initiating interactions. |

| ABSTRACT | Auditory communication devices and related methods are described herein. An example auditory communication device can include a microphone configured to collect acoustic energy and convert the collected acoustic energy into an audio signal, a processor operably coupled to the microphone, and a memory operably coupled to the processor. The processor can be configured to receive the audio signal from the microphone, create a time-frequency (T-F) representation of the audio signal, classify each of a plurality of T-F units into one of N discrete categories, and attenuate the T-F representation of the audio signal. A respective level of attenuation for each of the T-F units is determined by its respective classification. The processor can be further configured to create a synthesized signal from the attenuated T-F representation of the audio signal. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for reducing outgassing from a metal surface comprises applying energy from an energy source to the metal surface sufficient to melt the metal surface; and allowing the metal surface to re-solidify, wherein the re-solidified metal surface comprises larger grains and fewer grain boundaries, reducing outgassing sites for a trapped gas. Applying energy from an energy source is performed in a raster scan pattern. Adjacent passes in the raster scan pattern overlap sufficiently to melt the entire metal surface. The energy source is a laser, such as a CW Yb fiber laser. A spot size and applied energy of the laser energy source applied to the metal surface is sufficient to melt the entire metal surface (appropriate for the absorption and reflection characteristics of the treated material). The application of energy from an energy source releases at least some of a gas trapped in the metal. The trapped gas is atomic hydrogen. The metal surface comprises an electrode of a high power system device. The metal surface is in one of a high-vacuum environment and a vacuum electronic device. The metal surface comprises at least one of steel, stainless steel, nickel, and copper. |

| ABSTRACT | A closed or sealed airbag system is described in which a semi-rigid, resilient force distribution plate is positioned proximate a pair of relatively flat inflatable airbags. Once inflated, the airbags retain the gas/fluid provided thereto, while the plate serves to redistribute a point of impact on the system across the entirety of the air bags so as to significantly reduce impact forces that otherwise would have been sustained by the object/person causing the initial point of impact. The airbags and plate are specifically engineered with features to distribute and dissipate force across their entire surface area, resulting in distributed deceleration of point load forces. Additional airbags and plates can be incorporated, including outer most plates on the outer facings of the system. |

In such process, microfluidic reaction technology is used to synthesize cyanation reaction products orders of magnitude faster than is possible in batch and continuous syntheses. The aforementioned process does require strictly regulated, highly toxic cyanogen chloride. Thus the aforementioned process is more economically efficient and reduces the environmental impact of thermosetting resin monomer production, and produces thermosetting resin monomers in greater purity than obtained through typical processes. |

| ABSTRACT | Titanium nitride (TiN) nanofurnaces are fabricated in a method that involves anodization of a titanium (Ti) foil to form TiO2 nanocavities. After anodization, the TiO2 nanocavities are converted to TiN at 600° C. under ammonia flow. The resulting structure is an array of refractory (high-temperature stable) subwavelength TiN cylindrical cavities that operate as plasmonic nanofurnaces capable of reaching temperatures above 600° C. under moderate concentrated solar irradiation. The nanofurnaces show near-unity solar absorption in the visible and near infrared spectral ranges and a maximum thermoplasmonic solar-to-heat conversion efficiency of 68 percent. |

| ABSTRACT | Accelerating photonic and opto-electronic technologies requires breaking current limits of modern chip-scale photonic devices. While electronics and computer technologies have benefited from “Moore's Law” scaling, photonic technologies are conventionally limited in scale by the wavelength of light. Recent sub-wavelength optical devices use nanostructures and plasmonic devices but still face fundamental performance limitations arising from metal-induced optical losses and resonance-induced narrow optical bandwidths. The present disclosure instead confines and guides light at deeply sub-wavelength dimensions while preserving low-loss and broadband operation. The wave nature of light is used while employing metal-free (all-dielectric) nanostructure geometries which effectively “pinch” light into ultra-small active volumes, for potentially about 100-1000× reduction in energy consumption of active photonic components such as phase-shifters. The present disclosure could make possible all-optical and quantum computing devices which require extreme optical confinement to achieve efficient light-matter interactions. |

| ABSTRACT | Alloys of GeSbSeTe (GSST) can be used to make actively tunable infrared transmission filters that are small, fast, and solid-state. These filters can be used for hyperspectral imaging, 3D LIDAR, portable bio/chem sensing systems, thermal emission control, and tunable filters. GSST is a low-loss phase-change material that can switch from a low-index (n=3), amorphous state to a high-index (n=4.5), hexagonal state with low loss (k<0.3) over a wavelength range of 2-10 microns or more. The GSST thickness can be selected to provide pure phase modulation, pure amplitude modulation, or coupled phase and amplitude modulation. GSST can be switched thermally in an oven, optically with visible light, or electrically via Joule heating at speeds from kilohertz to Gigahertz. It operates with reversible and polarization independent transmission switching over a wide incident angle (e.g., 0-60 degrees). |

| ABSTRACT | A process to design an attitude control system (ACS) controller in each of a plurality of joined entities includes identifying a worst case configuration as a design-to configuration as one or more configurations in a given set S of configurations required for a spacecraft. For the design-to configuration, the process includes deriving one or more system equations in a functional form of equations to determine intermediate design parameters that represent effective proportional and derivative gains of the combined controller, Kp and Kd, respectively. The process also includes determining the design parameters of the ACS controller, namely, gains Kq and Kω and stiffness and damping coefficients, Ks and Cd respectively of all the interfaces between each of the plurality of joined entities, from the intermediate design parameters Kp and Kd. The process further includes programming the ACS controller with selected values of the design parameters for matrices Kq and Kω and selecting springs with stiffness Ks and dampers with damping coefficient Cd for all interfaces between each of the plurality of joined entities. The process includes iterating the computer-implemented process after incrementing a convergence requirement parameter σthreshold when the control performance is not acceptable and until the system achieves acceptable performance, and programming the ACS controller for each of the plurality of joined entities. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally relates to a microjet array for use as a thermal management system for a heat generating device, such as an RF device. The microjet array is formed in a jet plate, which is attached directly to the substrate containing the heat generating device. Additional enhancing features are used to further improve the heat transfer coefficient above that inherently achieved by the array. Some of these enhancements may also have other functions, such as adding mechanical structure, electrical connectivity or pathways for waveguides. This technology enables higher duty cycles, higher power levels, increased component lifetime, and/or improved SWaP for RF devices operating in airborne, naval (surface and undersea), ground, and space environments. This technology serves as a replacement for existing RF device thermal management solutions, such as high-SWaP finned heat sinks and cold plates. |

| ABSTRACT | A stressed substrate for transient electronic systems (i.e., electronic systems that visually disappear when triggered to do so) that includes one or more stress-engineered layers that store potential energy in the form of a significant internal stress. An associated trigger mechanism is also provided that, when triggered, causes an initial fracture in the stressed substrate, whereby the fracture energy nearly instantaneously travels throughout the stressed substrate, causing the stressed substrate to shatter into multiple small (e.g., micron-sized) pieces that are difficult to detect. The internal stress is incorporated into the stressed substrate through strategies similar to glass tempering (for example through heat or chemical treatment), or by depositing thin-film layers with large amounts of stress. Patterned fracture features are optionally provided to control the final fractured particle size. Electronic systems built on the substrate are entirely destroyed and dispersed during the transience event. |

| ABSTRACT | Secure auditability of monitoring processing using public ledgers that are particularly useful for monitoring surveillance orders, whereby an overseeing enforcer (“E”) checks if law enforcement agencies and companies are respectively over-requesting or over-sharing user data beyond what is permitted by the surveillance order, in a privacy-preserving way, such that E does not know the real identities of the users being surveilled, nor does E get to read the users' unencrypted data. Embodiments of the present invention also have inbuilt checks and balances to require unsealing of surveillance orders at the appropriate times, thus enabling accounting of the surveillance operation to verify that lawful procedures were followed, protecting users from government overreach, and helping law enforcement agencies and companies demonstrate that they followed the rule of law. |

| ABSTRACT | Described here is a deep brain stimulation (“DBS”) approach that targets several relevant nodes within brain circuitry, while monitoring multiple symptoms for efficacy. This approach to multi-symptom monitoring and stimulation therapy may be used as an extra stimulation setting in extant DBS devices, particularly those equipped for both stimulation and sensing. The therapeutic efficacy of DBS devices is extended by optimizing them for multiple symptoms (such as sleep disturbance in addition to movement disorders), thus increasing quality of life for patients. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for performing serial crystallography by providing an aqueous suspension of a crystal sample to a T-junction at a first flow rate and providing an immiscible oil fluid to the T-junction at a second flow rate. The aqueous suspension and the oil are combined at the T-junction to produce a co-flow output fluid including a parallel co-flow of the aqueous suspension and the oil in the same output channel. The co-flow output fluid is ejected as a jet stream through a nozzle and the sample flow rate in the crystal sample in the jet stream is adjusted by adjusting the first flow rate of the aqueous suspension and the second flow rate of the oil. By combining the aqueous sample and the oil in this manner, the output of the jet stream can be regulated for compatibility with X-ray free electron laser serial crystallography. |

| ABSTRACT | Titanium nitride (TiN) nanofurnaces are fabricated in a method that involves anodization of a titanium (Ti) foil to form TiO2 nanocavities. After anodization, the TiO2 nanocavities are converted to TiN at 600° C. under ammonia flow. The resulting structure is an array of refractory (high-temperature stable) subwavelength TiN cylindrical cavities that operate as plasmonic nanofurnaces capable of reaching temperatures above 600° C. under moderate concentrated solar irradiation. The nanofurnaces show near-unity solar absorption in the visible and near infrared spectral ranges and a maximum thermoplasmonic solar-to-heat conversion efficiency of 68 percent. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system for enabling a self-localizing mobile device to localize other self-localizing mobile devices having different reference frames is disclosed. Multiple self-localizing mobile devices are configured to survey an environment to generate a three-dimensional map of the environment using simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques. The mobile devices are equipped with wireless transceivers, such as Ultra-wideband radios, for measuring distances between the mobile devices using wireless ranging techniques. Based on the measured distances and self-localized positions in the environment corresponding to each measured distance, at least one of the mobile devices is configured to determine relative rotational and translational transformations between the different reference frames of the mobile devices. Based on the determined transformations, the mobile devices are able to localize the other mobile devices in their own reference frames, which can enable a variety of spatially aware augmented reality features and interactions. |

| ABSTRACT | Secure auditability of monitoring processing using public ledgers that are particularly useful for monitoring surveillance orders, whereby an overseeing enforcer (“E”) checks if law enforcement agencies and companies are respectively over-requesting or over-sharing user data beyond what is permitted by the surveillance order, in a privacy-preserving way, such that E does not know the real identities of the users being surveilled, nor does E get to read the users' unencrypted data. Embodiments of the present invention also have inbuilt checks and balances to require unsealing of surveillance orders at the appropriate times, thus enabling accounting of the surveillance operation to verify that lawful procedures were followed, protecting users from government overreach, and helping law enforcement agencies and companies demonstrate that they followed the rule of law. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides a composition comprising an opioid agonist, and a polymer-antagonist conjugate. The polymer-antagonist conjugate preferably does not hydrolyze upon administration to a patient, and does not bind to the opioid receptors. The covalent bond between the polymer and the antagonist in the conjugate is broken over a defined period of time to release the antagonist into the formulation. The released antagonist attenuates the liking of the agonist, thereby eliminating the incentive to the diversion of the medicines. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is a magnetic device including a spin sinker. The magnetic device includes a storage medium, a spin sinker, and a read node. The storage medium receives an in-plane current from outside and generates a self-generated spin current that perpendicularly flows to a charge current, thereby controlling a data structure with the self-generated spin current. The spin sinker receives and attenuates the spin current. The read node measures a magnetoresistance of a data structure through the storage medium. The storage medium is made of a magnetic metal and the spin sinker is made of a magnetic insulating material. |

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, May 03, 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)

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.
