| ABSTRACT | The subject invention provides methods and procedures for synthesis and/or semi-synthesis of the novel antibiotic arsinothricin (AST) and derivatives. Arsinothricin (AST), a new broad-spectrum organoarsenical antibiotic, is a non-proteinogenic analog of glutamate that effectively inhibits glutamine synthetase. The subject invention provides chemical synthesis of an intermediate in the pathway of AST synthesis, hydroxyarsinothricin (AST-OH), which can be converted to AST by enzymatic methylation catalyzed by the ArsM As(III) S-adenosylmethionine methyltransferase. The methods provide a source of the novel antibiotic that will be required for future clinical trials. The subject invention also provides AST derivatives as a new class of antibiotics. |

| ABSTRACT | Described are dual mass-spectrometry-cleavable cross-linkers that can be cleaved selectively using two differential tandem mass-spectrometric techniques such as collision induced dissociation (CID) or electron transfer dissociation (ETD), i.e., a dual cleavable crosslinking technology (DUCCT) cross-linker. When used to cross-link a macromolecule, such as a peptide, MS/MS fragmentation produces two signature complementary mass spectra of same cross-linked peptides, the analysis of which gives rise to high confidence in characterizing the structures of the cross-linked macromolecules as well as sites of interactions. Also described, are methods of making and using DUCCT cross-linkers. |

| ABSTRACT | Volumetric imaging with selective volume illumination (SVI) using light field detection is provided using various systems and techniques. A volumetric imaging apparatus includes a light source configured to emit an illumination light that propagates via an illumination light path to illuminate a three-dimensional (3D) sample; and an optical system arranged with respect to the light source to receive a light field, which comes from the illuminated 3D sample. The light field propagates via a detection light path, and the light source, the optical system, or both, are configurable to perform SVI, which selects a volume of a 3D-confined illumination of the 3D sample based on the 3D sample to be illuminated and a light field detection (LFD) process to be applied. Further, the volume of the 3D-confined illumination is a selected 3D volume of the 3D sample to be particularly excited by the 3D-confined illumination for imaging. |

| ABSTRACT | Described here are systems and methods for generating and analyzing co-expression signature data from scalar or multi-dimensional data fields contained in or otherwise derived from imaging data acquired with a medical imaging system. A similarity metric, such as an angular similarity metric, is computed between the data field components contained in pairs of voxels in the data field data. The data fields can be scalar fields, vector fields, tensor fields, or other higher-dimensional data fields. A probability distribution of these similarity metrics can be generated and used as co-expression signature data that indicate pairwise disparities in the data field data. |

| ABSTRACT | Novel tools and techniques are provided for assessing, predicting and/or estimating a physiological state of a patient, based on variance of the patient's compensatory reserve index (“CRI”) before, during, and/or after a physical perturbation. In some embodiments, the system might receive a first set of physiological data from one or more sensors at a first time relative to a physical perturbation of the patient, and might calculate a first set of CRI values of the patient. The system might receive a second set of physiological data at a second time relative to the physical perturbation, calculate a second set of CRI values, analyze the two sets of CRI values against a pre-existing model, estimate a physiological state (e.g., hydration, etc.) of the patient, and display the estimate on a display device. The system might also control an infusion device to infuse fluids into the patient based on estimated hydration state. |

| ABSTRACT | Electrical stimulation of specific facial and lingual nerves creates a more sustained pulsatility activity compared to stimulation of other cranial nerves. Pulsatility of arteries has intrinsic time constraints related to the time for vasodilation/constriction and time to return to baseline (TBL) after electrical stimulation which may affect the pulsatility response. Control of temporal patterning and the stimulation waveform maximizes the physiological response to cerebral pulsatility and its resulting effects on cerebral spinal fluid penetration into the brain parenchyma for a multitude of therapeutic uses including clearing misfolded proteins and/or administered pharmacological agents, diluting endogenous neurochemical concentrations within the brain, and reducing non-synaptic coupling. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of forming a void, channel and/or vascular network in a polymeric matrix comprises providing a pre-vascularized structure that includes a matrix material and a sacrificial material embedded in the matrix material in a predetermined pattern, where the matrix material comprises a monomer and the sacrificial material comprises a polymer. A region of the matrix material is activated to initiate an exothermic polymerization reaction and generate a self-propagating polymerization front. As the polymerization front propagates through the matrix material and polymerizes the monomer, heat from the exothermic reaction simultaneously degrades the sacrificial material into a gas-phase and/or liquid-phase byproduct. Thus, one or more voids or channels having the predetermined pattern are rapidly formed in the matrix material. |

| ABSTRACT | A coating composition may include a polymeric binder and bacteria that exhibit biologically induced mineralization (BIM) or biologically controlled mineralization (BCM) of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the presence of environmental calcium. The bacteria may exhibit BIM or BCM of CaCO3 using the ChaA antiporter protein. The coating formulations may be used to form coatings that exhibit self-healing properties in response to damage, such as a cut, tear, puncture, abrasion, or the like. For example, in response to being exposed to the damage, the bacteria may utilize nutrients, a calcium source, and water to cause precipitation of CaCO3 at the site of the damage. The nutrients, the calcium source, and the water may be provided as part of the coating formulation, as part of another layer of a coating system, from an external source (e.g., an applied spray or wash), or combinations thereof. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for providing a microwave-to-optical (M2O) transducer using magneto-optical field interactions with spin states of an ensemble of ions doped into a crystal structure is presented. According to one aspect, the crystal structure is a (171Yb3+:YVO) doped crystal structure that provides a substrate for an on-chip implementation of the transducer. According to one aspect, coupling of microwave and optical signals to the ions is based on respective microwave and optical waveguides fabricated in or on the doped crystal structure. According to another aspect, coupling of microwave and optical signals to the ions is based on respective microwave and optical resonant cavities fabricated in or on the doped crystal structure. Transduction can be based on either a three-level system with near-zero applied external magnetic field or on a four-level system with zero applied external magnetic field. The transducer can operate reversibly as an optical-to-microwave (O2M) transducer. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques based on the Theory of Bottleneck Ordering can reveal the bottleneck structure of a network, and the Theory of Flow ordering can take advantage of the revealed bottleneck structure to manage and configure network flows so as to improve the overall network performance. These two techniques provide insights into the inherent topological properties of a network at least in three areas: (1) identification of the regions of influence of each bottleneck; (2) the order in which bottlenecks (and flows traversing them) may converge to their steady state transmission rates in distributed congestion control algorithms; and (3) the design of optimized traffic engineering policies. |

| ABSTRACT | Novel tools and techniques are provided for assessing, predicting and/or estimating a physiological state of a patient, based on variance of the patient's compensatory reserve index (“CRI”) before, during, and/or after a physical perturbation. In some embodiments, the system might receive a first set of physiological data from one or more sensors at a first time relative to a physical perturbation of the patient, and might calculate a first set of CRI values of the patient. The system might receive a second set of physiological data at a second time relative to the physical perturbation, calculate a second set of CRI values, analyze the two sets of CRI values against a pre-existing model, estimate a physiological state (e.g., hydration, etc.) of the patient, and display the estimate on a display device. The system might also control an infusion device to infuse fluids into the patient based on estimated hydration state. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention includes compositions and methods of making hydrophilic nanostructured antibiotics (i.e. nanoantibiotics), including nanoantibiotics that use environmentally degradable biomolecules as the backbone building blocks, wherein the backbone building blocks can include spherical backbones such as sucroses, cyclodextrins, glycogens, and phytoglycogen with different diameters, or rod-like backbone building blocks such as dextrins, amyloses, and celluloses with different lengths. These hydrophilic nanoantibiotics with well-defined sizes and shapes can selectively disrupt bacterial membranes (i.e., serve as membrane-active antimicrobials) while being benign to mammalian cells. Depending on the size and shape difference of the hydrophilic nanoantibiotics, they can also selectively kill one type of bacteria (e.g., gram-negative) over another type (e.g., gram-positive). The environmentally degradable nanoantibiotics will have built-in dismantling “switches” to dismantle and become antimicrobial inactive in responsive to environmental stimuli once released into natural habitat, hence greatly reducing the possibility of developing bacteria resistance. |

| ABSTRACT | Processes and reaction mixtures including non-aqueous solvent mixtures are presented. Non-aqueous solvent mixtures including fluoride salt and non-aqueous solvent combinations are provided that possess high fluoride ion concentrations useful for a range of applications, including organic synthesis. Further non-aqueous solvent mixtures are provided including a salt possessing a non-fluoride anion and a non-aqueous solvent that, when contacted with aqueous fluoride-containing reagents, extract fluoride ions to form non-aqueous fluoride-ion solutions possessing high fluoride-ion concentrations. The salts include an organic cation that does not possess a carbon in the β-position or does not possess a carbon in the β-position having a bound hydrogen. This salt structure facilitates its ability to be made anhydrous without decomposition. Example anhydrous fluoride salts include (2,2-dimethylpropyl)trimethylammonium fluoride and bis(2,2-dimethylpropyl)dimethylammonium fluoride. The combination of these fluoride salts with at least one fluorine-containing non-aqueous solvent (e.g., bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)ether; (BTFE)) promotes solubility of the salt within the non-aqueous solvents. |

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, July 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?
