| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for stationary computed tomography are disclosed. The methods and systems include a gantry having alternating x-ray sources and x-ray detectors that are stationary during operation of the system. The gantry and pairs of x-ray sources and detectors substantially surrounds an object positioned inside the gantry during operation of the system. Dynamically adjustable collimators are positioned between the x-ray sources and the object. Each of the x-ray sources projects an x-ray beam through the collimators and through the object and the x-ray detectors receive the x-ray beam. The x-ray detectors include means for converting the x-ray beam to raw image data. One or more microprocessors control the x-ray sources and the process raw image data. A data storage device stores instructions, which upon execution by the microprocessor, control the x-ray sources and process the raw image data by converting the raw image data to a digital image. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method is provided for imaging a contrast agent. The system includes a power injector that delivers a contrast agent as a series of boluses using a known period, flow rate, or duration and with a rate of at least one or more separate boluses per cardiac cycle. An x-ray imaging system acquires a reference dataset of the subject before the contrast agent is delivered and acquires an imaging dataset as the series of boluses are delivered to the subject, wherein multiple images are acquired of the subject per bolus. A computer system receives the reference dataset and the imaging dataset from the x-ray imaging system and reconstructs the reference dataset and the imaging dataset using a reconstruction process that removes the subject from the images to generate time-resolved volumetric images of the contrast agent moving within a volume of the subject without the subject. |

| ABSTRACT | A LUS robotic surgical system is trainable by a surgeon to automatically move a LUS probe in a desired fashion upon command so that the surgeon does not have to do so manually during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. A sequence of 2D ultrasound image slices captured by the LUS probe according to stored instructions are processable into a 3D ultrasound computer model of an anatomic structure, which may be displayed as a 3D or 2D overlay to a camera view or in a PIP as selected by the surgeon or programmed to assist the surgeon in inspecting an anatomic structure for abnormalities. Virtual fixtures are definable so as to assist the surgeon in accurately guiding a tool to a target on the displayed ultrasound image. |

| ABSTRACT | Bromine induced lactamization of vinyl acetohydroxamates facilitated syntheses of monocyclic β-lactams suitable for incorporation of a thiomethyl and extended functionality at the C(4) position. Elaboration of the resulting substituted N-hydroxy-2-azetidinones allowed incorporation of functionalized α-amino substituents appropriate for enhancement of antibiotic activity. Evaluation of antibacterial activity against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria revealed structure-activity-relationships (SAR) and identification of potent new monobactam antibiotics. The corresponding bis-catechol conjugate, 42, has excellent activity against Gram-negative bacteria including carbapenemase and carbacephalosporinase producing strains of Acinetobacter baumannii which have been listed by the WHO as being of critical concern worldwide. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided are compositions and methods for used in solubilizing, stabilizing and expressing proteins. The proteins are fusion proteins that contain a protein of interest. The fusion proteins contain segments of Ribose Binding Protein (RBP) or Maltose Binding Protein (MBP). The fusion proteins can have the RBP or MBP segments flanking the target protein, and the RBP or MBP segments can be in the fusion protein in the same orientation as they normally occur (except for being interrupted by the target protein) or the segments can be permuted. Novel segments of the RBP and MBP are provided and result in improved expression and/or solubility of the proteins. Some examples include one or a combination of two complete or partial Histidine tags. Some examples allow for the target protein to be separated from all or a part of the fusion protein such as by enzymatic or non-enzymatic cleavage. |

| ABSTRACT | The method presented herein includes acquiring a mass spectrum of a molecule that includes mass spectrum peaks corresponding to a precursor ion and fragment ions. The method also includes identifying at least a portion of the fragment ions in the mass spectrum as corresponding to one or more monomer subunit ion of the precursor ion by appending one or more of the fragment ions to an inferable constituent to produce a topology building block. The topology building block is then stored in a candidate pool as corresponding to one or more of the monomer subunit ion if the combined mass of the inferable constituent and one or more of the fragment ions satisfy a first user-defined mass tolerance. One or more candidate topology of the precursor ion is then obtained by combining a plurality of the topology building blocks that satisfy a second user-defined mass tolerance for the precursor ion. |

| ABSTRACT | A projectile having a spin stabilized gyroscopically stable flight path due to a base flange. With the base flange, the aerodynamic overturning moment about the center of gravity is reduced to increase the gyroscopic stability factor for stable flight. In one application, a medium-caliber untethered human electro-muscular incapacitation (HEMI) projectile has improved effectiveness due to its stable flight from launch to targets. Other applications for damping resulted in significant improvement in ground dispersion of 40 mm projectiles. The increased stability and increased aerodynamic damping reduce coning motion during flight which ensures that the projectile arrives at the target with greater accuracy, and with its nose oriented for effective incapacitation of the target. |

| ABSTRACT | A two piece aerodynamic pusher consisting of a body and tailpiece. This pusher fits into a standard 40 mm cartridge case by means of three sabots. After the cartridge case is functioned, the combustion gases push the projectile forward and ignite a delay column located in the rear of the pusher. Upon muzzle exit, the sabots discard and the pusher continues down range as the delay column burns. Once the delay has burned, a charge located in the pusher body is ignited, pushing the payload out of the front of the projectile. The cap pops off, and the pellets are dispersed. This effectively moves the payload release point from the muzzle until a designated point down range based on the delay length. |

| ABSTRACT | Improvements to optical power regulation in a gyroscopic system are described. The system can include an optical assembly (e.g., optical bench) which couples opposing optical signals to a resonator coil. The system can monitor the power of the optical signals through the resonator coil by including signal extraction optics in the optical assembly which are configured to extract a portion of the optical signals. The portions can be extracted via a single beamsplitter, wherein the beamsplitter reflects the portions at a single common surface, and can also reflect the portions to a respective photodetector in free space free from intervening optical components, such as polarizers or beamsplitters. One or more processors can be coupled to the optical assembly, wherein the processor(s) are configured to adjust the power of the optical signals in response to detecting a power difference between the optical signals. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are described for estimating a state of a process and an input to the process using a sensor network. Each sensor node in the sensor network is directly to one or more adjacent sensor nodes and indirectly coupled to the remaining sensor nodes through the one or more adjacent sensor nodes. Each sensor node iteratively calculates a new estimated state based on estimations of the state and the input to the process calculated by the sensor node in a previous iteration. The new estimated state is then adjusted based on a difference between a predicted and actual output of a sensor and is further adjusted based on differences between a previous estimated state calculated by the sensor node and estimated states calculated by adjacent sensor nodes. |

| ABSTRACT | The present system and method allow for accurate estimation of angle and angle rate for a target using a slewing antenna. These issues are accounted for by using a special form of non-coherent integration. An extension of the non-coherent integration may be used to estimate the target's angle rates. This technique can also be expanded to determine whether a target is in the main lobe or in a side lobe in one or two directions. |

| ABSTRACT | A GNSS hostile environment simulator for accurate real-time processor & hardware in the loop (PHIL) simulations of a multiple antenna GNSSR/AJ system models antenna effects over the entire signal bandwidth allowing direct injection of the RF into the GNSSR. Computational efficiency is achieved by applying the antenna patterns in the frequency domain. To preserve the integrity of the antenna signals, the transmitter signals are generated over an extended period to push any residual ringing outside the update window. Efficiency is further enhanced by using a combination of single-precision and double-precision floating-point units to generate the samples of the transmitter signals with single-precision floating-point. All subsequent calculations are then computed in single-precision. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and apparatuses for the production of HF in an electron-beam generated plasma. A gas containing fluorine, hydrogen, and an inert gas such as argon, e.g., Ar/SF6/H2O or Ar/SF6/NH3 flows into a plasma treatment chamber to produce a low pressure gas in the chamber. An electron beam directed into the gas forms a plasma from the gas, with energy from the electron beam dissociating the F-containing molecules, which react with H-containing gas to produce HF in the plasma. Although the concentration of the gas phase HF in the plasma is a very small fraction of the total gas in the chamber, due to its highly reactive nature, the low concentration of HF produced by the method of the present invention is enough to modify the surfaces of materials, performing the same function as aqueous HF solutions to remove oxygen from an exposed material. |

| ABSTRACT | A testing device is provided that evaluates the operating performance of radio frequency (RF) emitting devices such as a counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) device. The testing device allows an operator, with limited RF knowledge, to conduct testing on a C-UAS device and quickly verify functionality in any location with no data analysis. The testing device provides a simplified and portable method to test the RF output of devices such as C-UAS. Since C-UAS devices use RF power to disrupt their UAS target, the performance can be assessed by verifying the RF power level emitted by the C-UAS device. In order to do this the testing device measures and assesses the RF power levels in the bands that the C-UAS device emits radio frequency energy. |

| ABSTRACT | A nonlinear fiber interferometer is disclosed suitable for fiber sensor and other applications. A first nonlinear fiber section amplifies probe and conjugate sidebands of a pump through four-wave mixing. A second section introduces a phase shift to be measured, for example from a sensor. A third nonlinear fiber section amplifies with phase-sensitive gain to increase signal-to-noise ratio. Based on phase-sensitive output power of probe and/or conjugate components, the phase shift can be measured. Superior performance can be obtained by balancing gain between the (first and third) nonlinear sections. Non-fiber, for example photonic integrated circuit, embodiments are disclosed. Differential sensing, alternative detection schemes, sensing applications, associated methods, and other variations are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for efficiently processing memory requests are described. A computing system includes multiple compute units, multiple caches of a memory hierarchy and a communication fabric. A compute unit generates a memory access request that misses in a higher level cache, which sends a miss request to a lower level shared cache. During servicing of the miss request, the lower level cache merges identification information of multiple memory access requests targeting a same cache line from multiple compute units into a merged memory access response. The lower level shared cache continues to insert information into the merged memory access response until the lower level shared cache is ready to issue the merged memory access response. An intermediate router in the communication fabric broadcasts the merged memory access response into multiple memory access responses to send to corresponding compute units. |

| ABSTRACT | An automatic threat recognition (ATR) system is disclosed for scanning an article to recognize contraband items or items of interest contained within the article. The ATR system uses a CAT scanner to obtain a CT image scan of objects within the article, representing a plurality of 2D image slices of the article and its contents. Each 2D image slice includes information forming a plurality of voxels. The ATR system includes a computer and determines which voxels have a likelihood of representing materials of interest. It then aggregates those voxels to produce detected objects. The detected objects are further classified as items of interest vs. not of interest. The ATR system is based on learned parameters for a novel interaction of global and object context mechanisms. ATR system performance may be optimized by using jointly optimal global and object context parameters learned during training. The global context parameters may apply to the article as a whole and facilitate object detection. The object context parameters may apply to the individual object detections. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for making an improved nuclear fuel cladding tube includes reinforcing a Zr alloy tube by first winding or braiding ceramic yarn directly around the tube to form a ceramic covering, then physically bonding the ceramic covering to the tube by applying a first coating selected from the group consisting of Nb, Nb alloy, Nb oxide, Cr, Cr oxide, Cr alloy, or combinations thereof, by one of a thermal deposition process or a physical deposition process to provide structural support member for the Zr tube, and optionally applying a second coating and optionally applying a third coating by one of a thermal deposition process or a physical deposition process. If the tube softens at 800° C.-1000° C., the structural support tube will reinforce the Zr alloy tube against ballooning and bursting, thereby preventing the release of fission products to the reactor coolant. |

| ABSTRACT | Fuel pellets and fuel pellet arrangements include thermally-conductive inserts within a fuel. The inserts have at least one portion of a thermally-conductive material, such as radially-extending fins. The inserts are configured to dissipate heat during use of the fuel pellets, while minimizing the amount of the total volume of the fuel pellet that is occupied by non-fissile material. The inclusion of heat-dissipating inserts enables the fuel pellets to exhibit improved thermal performance over the lifetime of the fuel, including a relatively low peak temperature and relatively low integrated average temperatures, while the minimal volume of the inserts avoids significantly decreasing the percent of enrichment achievable. |

| ABSTRACT | Materials for coating a metal anode in a high energy battery, anodes coated with the materials, and batteries incorporating the coated anodes are provided. Also provided are batteries that utilize the materials as electrolytes. The coatings, which are composed of binary, ternary, and higher order metal and/or metalloid oxides, nitrides, fluorides, chlorides, bromides, sulfides, and carbides limit the reactions between the electrolyte and the metal anode in a battery, thereby improving the performance of the battery, relative to a battery that employs a bare anode. |

| ABSTRACT | A system includes a first optical sensor sensitive to both a parameter of interest, Parameter1, and at least one confounding parameter, Parameter2 and a second optical sensor sensitive only to the confounding parameter. Measurement circuitry measures M1 in response to light scattered by the first optical sensor, where M1=value of Parameter1+K*value of Parameter2. The measurement circuitry also measures M2 in response to light scattered by the second optical sensor, where M2=value of Parameter2. Compensation circuitry determines a compensation factor, K, for the confounding parameter based on measurements of M1 and M2 taken over multiple load/unload cycles or over one or more thermal cycles. The compensation factor is used to determine the parameter of interest. |

| ABSTRACT | A LUS robotic surgical system is trainable by a surgeon to automatically move a LUS probe in a desired fashion upon command so that the surgeon does not have to do so manually during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. A sequence of 2D ultrasound image slices captured by the LUS probe according to stored instructions are processable into a 3D ultrasound computer model of an anatomic structure, which may be displayed as a 3D or 2D overlay to a camera view or in a PIP as selected by the surgeon or programmed to assist the surgeon in inspecting an anatomic structure for abnormalities. Virtual fixtures are definable so as to assist the surgeon in accurately guiding a tool to a target on the displayed ultrasound image. |

| ABSTRACT | An autonomous drone is programed with the geo-location of one or more remote sensors, and the autonomous drone then flies to each of the remote sensors to acquire a most recent sensing data record, and then return to a base where the most recent data record for each remote sensor can be transferred to a computing system. Upon arriving at the location of each remote sensor, the drone causes the remote sensor to activate a local area radio transceiver so that a communication link can be established between the drone and the remote sensor. |

| ABSTRACT | Open tubular capillary columns for liquid and ion chromatography, based upon an ionically impermeable polyolefin capillary having a bore with a sulfonate-group- or amine-group-functionalized internal surface. The capillary columns may include a coating of ion exchanging nanoparticles electrostatically bound to the functionalized internal surface. The capillary columns may be made by exposing the interior surface to a sulfonating reagent comprising chlorosulfonic acid (ClSO3H), preferably from 85 wt % to 95 wt % chlorosulfonic acid at a process temperature of 20 to 25° C. The interior surface may be subsequently exposed to an asymmetrical diamine to form a sulfonic mid-linkage to the diamine, i.e., to form a sulfonamide-linked, amine-group-functionalized internal surface. The coating may be provided by subsequently exposing the interior surface to an aqueous suspension of ion exchanging nanoparticles to electrostatically bond the ion exchanging nanoparticles to the functionalized internal surface. |

| ABSTRACT | A content management system for customizing and controlling data distribution is disclosed. Data items can be customized and dispersed to disparate reception terminals according to various control mechanisms where they can convey relevant information to local or remote stakeholders. Data items can be integrated into existing data distribution structures in real time according to applicable control mechanisms and distribution protocols. Data resources can be efficiently used in distributing data under predefined and configurable conditions. Control mechanisms and distribution protocols can be determined based on an interested user's recognized status within the system. Design of the distribution system allows for informed delivery of essential information in a controlled and automated fashion such that users can interact with the system in receiving or distributing current and relevant information across the distribution network for others to access. |

| ABSTRACT | Multiple tagged neutrons are emitted from an associated particle imaging neutron generator. The tagged neutrons penetrate a target material and interact with the target material nucleus—which emits nucleus-specific gamma rays. A gamma ray detector detects all gamma rays—including the nucleus-specific gamma rays. An alpha-gamma timing spectrum is constructed for all detected gamma rays. For a specific energy level (MeV) corresponding with the target material nucleus, a peak in the alpha gamma timing spectrum indicates the presence of the target material. Based on the peaking time of the gamma rays (due to tagged neutrons interaction with the target material nucleus) in the alpha-gamma timing spectrum for the specific energy level, the distance from the neutron generator to the target material can be calculated. The nucleus-specific gamma ray spectrum data can be effectively collimated by programming the system to detect the gamma rays in a time window corresponding to the peaking time. |

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, August 02, 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:
