| ABSTRACT | A heat exchanger module (HEM) and system uses a flexible substrate with one or more open channels, to which a substrate cover is bonded, thereby forming closed channels in the flexible substrate. Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) are attached to optional thermally diffusing copper squares atop the substrate cover. An interface cover is attached to the TEC tops, with a compliant thermally conductive material opposite the TECs and ultimately in contact with a patient. A liquid is passed through the closed channels, which act as thermal references for the TECs. Current is supplied by a controller to the TECs to induce TEC cooling or heating relative to the liquid. One or more temperature sensors detect the temperature of the interface cover, which are used as inputs to the control of the TEC supply current. The HEM may be used for heating, cooling, or cycling between heating and cooling for various medical uses. |

| ABSTRACT | Compositions containing a nucleic acid nanostructure having a desired geometric shape and antigens bound to its surface are provided. The nanostructures can be, for example, in the form of a 6-helix bundle or icosahedron. The nanostructure design allows for control of the relative position and/or stoichiometry of the antigen bound to its surface. The antigens displayed on the nanostructure surface are arranged with the preferred number, spacing, and 3D organization to elicit a robust immune response. The displayed antigen can be an HIV immunogen such as eOD-GT6, eOD-GT8, or variants thereof. The compositions may thus be useful as immunogens, vaccines, immunostimulators, adjuvants, and the like. Methods of inducing immune responses, inducing protective immunity, inducing the production of neutralizing antibodies or inhibitory antibodies, inducing tolerance, and treating cancer, infectious or autoimmune diseases are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | Ultra-low crosslinked microgels made of an ultra-low crosslinked polymer are provided. The microgels, also referred to as Platelet-like Particles (PLPs), preferably have <0.5% crosslinking densities. One or more of the polymers are conjugated with a fibrin-binding element or moiety, preferably H6, in an amount effective to confer to the microgel selective binding to fibrin under physiological conditions. The PLPs can recapitulate multiple key functions of platelets including binding, stabilizing and enhancing fibrin clot formation, responsiveness to injury cues, and induction of clot contraction. In a preferred embodiment, the microgel or PLP has little or no binding to soluble fibrinogen under physiological conditions compared to its binding to fibrin. The microgels or PLPs are prepared using crosslinker-free synthesis conditions, and can promote or induce clotting and clot contraction. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides a fluorescent silica-based nanoparticle that allows for precise detection, characterization, monitoring and treatment of a disease such as cancer. The nanoparticle has a range of diameters including between about 0.1 nm and about 100 nm, between about 0.5 nm and about 50 nm, between about 1 nm and about 25 nm, between about 1 nm and about 15 nm, or between about 1 nm and about 8 nm. The nanoparticle has a fluorescent compound positioned within the nanoparticle, and has greater brightness and fluorescent quantum yield than the free fluorescent compound. The nanoparticle also exhibits high biostability and biocompatibility. To facilitate efficient urinary excretion of the nanoparticle, it may be coated with an organic polymer, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The small size of the nanoparticle, the silica base and the organic polymer coating minimizes the toxicity of the nanoparticle when administered in vivo. In order to target a specific cell type, the nanoparticle may further be conjugated to a ligand, which is capable of binding to a cellular component associated with the specific cell type, such as a tumor marker. In one embodiment, a therapeutic agent may be attached to the nanoparticle. To permit the nanoparticle to be detectable by not only optical fluorescence imaging, but also other imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), computerized tomography (CT), bioluminescence imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radionuclides/radiometals or paramagnetic ions may be conjugated to the nanoparticle. |

| ABSTRACT | Carbon monoxide-releasing organic molecules are described herein. The molecules can be synthesized prior to administration (e.g., ex vivo) or formed in vivo. In those embodiments where the molecules are formed in vivo, reactants are administered under physiological conditions and undergo a cycloaddition reaction to form a product which releases carbon monoxide. In applying such reactions for therapeutic applications in vivo, the cycloaddition and CO release typically occur only under near-physiological or physiological conditions. For example, in some embodiments, the cycloaddition reaction and/or release of carbon monoxide occur at a temperature of about 37° C. and pH of about 7.4. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods for release carbon monoxide are also described. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides methods of assessing an individual subject's risk of developing prostate cancer, comprising: a) analyzing a nucleic acid sample obtained from the subject and determining a genotype for the subject at a plurality of biallelic polymorphic loci, wherein each of said plurality has an associated allele and an unassociated allele, wherein the genotype is selected from the group consisting of homozygous for the associated allele, heterozygous, and homozygous for the unassociated allele; and b) calculating a cumulative relative risk (CRR) for the subject based on the genotype determined in step (a). A CRR of greater than 1.00 identifies a subject as having an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and also can identify a subject who is a candidate for early PSA screening, prostate biopsy and/or chemoprevention. |

| ABSTRACT | Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) can be used in place of DCs when pulsing with antigens, or antigen and adjuvant combination, and then administered to a subject as a vaccine to induce a protective immune response. The PBMC-based vaccine strategy provides a more marked and enduring protective immune response and is also capable of serving as a multi-organism prophylactic vaccine platform. The vaccine platform may be used to screen vaccine and adjuvant combinations and may also be used to allow for adjuvants that are otherwise unsafe for use in humans as the adjuvant may be removed prior to prophylactic administration of the pulsed PBMCs. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for lens-free imaging of a sample or objects within the sample uses multi-height iterative phase retrieval and rotational field transformations to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples with clinically comparable image quality to a benchtop lens-based microscope. The solution of the transport-of-intensity (TIE) equation is used as an initial guess in the phase recovery process to speed the image recovery process. The holographically reconstructed image can be digitally focused at any depth within the object FOV (after image capture) without the need for any focus adjustment, and is also digitally corrected for artifacts arising from uncontrolled tilting and height variations between the sample and sensor planes. In an alternative embodiment, a synthetic aperture approach is used with multi-angle iterative phase retrieval to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples and increase the effective numerical aperture of the image. |

| ABSTRACT | Compositions containing a nucleic acid nanostructure having a desired geometric shape and antigens bound to its surface are provided. The nanostructures can be, for example, in the form of a 6-helix bundle or icosahedron. The nanostructure design allows for control of the relative position and/or stoichiometry of the antigen bound to its surface. The antigens displayed on the nanostructure surface are arranged with the preferred number, spacing, and 3D organization to elicit a robust immune response. The displayed antigen can be an HIV immunogen such as eOD-GT6, eOD-GT8, or variants thereof. The compositions may thus be useful as immunogens, vaccines, immunostimulators, adjuvants, and the like. Methods of inducing immune responses, inducing protective immunity, inducing the production of neutralizing antibodies or inhibitory antibodies, inducing tolerance, and treating cancer, infectious or autoimmune diseases are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | Ultra-low crosslinked microgels made of an ultra-low crosslinked polymer are provided. The microgels, also referred to as Platelet-like Particles (PLPs), preferably have <0.5% crosslinking densities. One or more of the polymers are conjugated with a fibrin-binding element or moiety, preferably H6, in an amount effective to confer to the microgel selective binding to fibrin under physiological conditions. The PLPs can recapitulate multiple key functions of platelets including binding, stabilizing and enhancing fibrin clot formation, responsiveness to injury cues, and induction of clot contraction. In a preferred embodiment, the microgel or PLP has little or no binding to soluble fibrinogen under physiological conditions compared to its binding to fibrin. The microgels or PLPs are prepared using crosslinker-free synthesis conditions, and can promote or induce clotting and clot contraction. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for lens-free imaging of a sample or objects within the sample uses multi-height iterative phase retrieval and rotational field transformations to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples with clinically comparable image quality to a benchtop lens-based microscope. The solution of the transport-of-intensity (TIE) equation is used as an initial guess in the phase recovery process to speed the image recovery process. The holographically reconstructed image can be digitally focused at any depth within the object FOV (after image capture) without the need for any focus adjustment, and is also digitally corrected for artifacts arising from uncontrolled tilting and height variations between the sample and sensor planes. In an alternative embodiment, a synthetic aperture approach is used with multi-angle iterative phase retrieval to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples and increase the effective numerical aperture of the image. |

| ABSTRACT | Actions may be automatically determined by a machine learning system using transformational randomization. A situation set and an action sequence associated with contexts of a computer-implemented application may be obtained. Left-hand side (LHS) equivalence transformations and right-hand side (RHS) equivalence transformations are obtained based on a set of a plurality of rules for the application. LHS randomizations are obtained based on combining the plurality of LHS equivalence transformations. RHS randomizations are obtained based on combining the plurality of RHS equivalence transformations. A randomized context is obtained based on the LHS randomizations, and an action sequence is determined based on the context randomization. A randomized action sequence is obtained based on the RHS randomizations. A valid action is determined based on a probability value of a randomized rule associated with the randomized action sequence. |

| ABSTRACT | A method, system and computer program product for segmenting generic foreground objects in images and videos. For segmenting generic foreground objects in videos, an appearance stream of an image in a video frame is processed using a first deep neural network. Furthermore, a motion stream of an optical flow image in the video frame is processed using a second deep neural network. The appearance and motion streams are then joined to combine complementary appearance and motion information to perform segmentation of generic objects in the video frame. Generic foreground objects are segmented in images by training a convolutional deep neural network to estimate a likelihood that a pixel in an image belongs to a foreground object. After receiving the image, the likelihood that the pixel in the image is part of the foreground object as opposed to background is then determined using the trained convolutional deep neural network. |

| ABSTRACT | An analog lock detector for a phase lock loop includes a detector, a logic gate, a delay circuit, and a guard gate inverter. The detector outputs up and down signals relating synthesized and reference frequencies. The logic gate outputs an initial lock signal combining the up and down signals. While the synthesized and reference frequencies are locked, the initial lock signal has a steady state except during brief intervals. The delay circuit outputs a delayed lock signal that time delays the initial lock signal by a delay amount, which matches a maximum allowed duration of the brief intervals while locked. A guard gate inverter outputs a final lock signal that combines the initial lock signal and the delayed lock signal. The final lock signal has the steady state indicating when the synthesized frequency is locked to the reference frequency, but without the brief intervals of deviation from the steady state. |

| ABSTRACT | A communication system may communicate by backscattered acoustic signals that propagate through a liquid or solid. In this system, one or more transmitters may transmit acoustic signals that travel to, and are reflected by, an acoustic backscatter node. The backscatter node may modulate the amplitude and/or phase of the reflected acoustic signals, by varying the acoustic reflectance of a piezoelectric transducer onboard the node. The modulated signals that reflect from the backscatter node may travel to a microphone and may be decoded. The backscatter node may include sensors, and the uplink signals may encode sensor readings. The backscatter node may harvest energy from the downlink acoustic signals, enabling the node and the sensors to be battery-free. Multiple backscatter nodes may communicate concurrently at different acoustic frequencies. To achieve this, each node may have a matching circuit with a different resonant frequency. |

| ABSTRACT | Nitric oxide-releasing mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were prepared using an aminosilane-template surfactant ion exchange reaction. Initially, bare silica particles were synthesized under basic conditions in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). These particles were functionalized with nitric oxide (NO) donor precursors via the addition of aminosilane directly to the particle sol, and a commensurate ion exchange reaction between the cationic aminosilanes and CTAB. N-diazeniumdiolate NO donors were formed at the secondary amines to yield NO-releasing silica MSNs. Tuning of the ion exchange-based MSN modification approach allowed for the preparation of monodisperse particles ranging from 30 to 1100 nm. Regardless of size, the MSNs stored appreciable levels of NO (0.4-1.5 μmol/mg) with tunable NO-release durations (1-33 h) dependent on the aminosilane modification. The range of MSN sizes and NO release demonstrate the versatility of this strategy. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects and embodiments disclosed herein include a computational approach to automatically generate a wayfinding design for a given environment. To use aspects and embodiments of the disclosed computational approach, a designer specifies all the navigation scenarios likely to be taken by the users. A wayfinding design is then generated to accommodate the needs of all the scenarios while considering a number of desirable factors relevant to the navigation experience and management convenience. Through agent-based simulations, the locations of the wayfinding signs are further refined by considering visibility and robustness with respect to the possible mistakes made by the users throughout their navigation. After generating a wayfinding design, the designer can gain further insights of the design by visualizing the accessibility of a destination from any other locations in the environment and remove any blind zones by adding more signs and re-triggering the optimization. |

| ABSTRACT | A phase plate for high precision wavelength extraction can include a planar substrate which has a point spread function engineered profile formed of a tessellation of regions. The point spread function engineered profile transforms a point spread function of a light source to form a wavelength dependent geometric pattern. The geometric pattern can also preserve spatial location information of the light source. Such a phase plate permits extracting three-dimensional position and the wavelength of a point emitter. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for lens-free imaging of a sample or objects within the sample uses multi-height iterative phase retrieval and rotational field transformations to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples with clinically comparable image quality to a benchtop lens-based microscope. The solution of the transport-of-intensity (TIE) equation is used as an initial guess in the phase recovery process to speed the image recovery process. The holographically reconstructed image can be digitally focused at any depth within the object FOV (after image capture) without the need for any focus adjustment, and is also digitally corrected for artifacts arising from uncontrolled tilting and height variations between the sample and sensor planes. In an alternative embodiment, a synthetic aperture approach is used with multi-angle iterative phase retrieval to perform wide FOV imaging of pathology samples and increase the effective numerical aperture of the image. |

| ABSTRACT | Groups of architecturally connected files may incur and accumulate high maintenance costs as architectural debts. To quantify such debts, architectural debt, which is a term used herein, may be identified, quantified, measured, and modeled. A history coupling probability matrix for this purpose may search for architecture debts through the lens of 4 patterns of prototypical architectural flaws shown to correlate with reduced software quality. Further, a new architecture maintainability metric—Decoupling Level (DL)—measures how well the software can be decoupled into small and independently replaceable modules. The DL metric opens the possibility of quantitatively comparing maintainability between different projects, as well as monitoring architecture decay throughout software evolution. Decoupling Level may be the only software maintainability metric that bears similarity with other metrics used in everyday life, such as the centimeter, in that it allows managers to monitor, evaluate, and compare software projects and their evolution. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method model a time series from missing data by imputing missing values, denoising measured but noisy values, and forecasting future values of a single time series. A time series of potentially noisy, partially-measured values of a physical process is represented as a non-overlapping matrix. For several classes of common model functions, it can be proved that the resulting matrix has a low rank or approximately low rank, allowing a matrix estimation technique, for example singular value thresholding, to be efficiently applied. Applying such a technique produces a mean matrix that estimates latent values, of the physical process at times or intervals corresponding to measurements, with less error than previously known methods. These latent values have been denoised (if noisy) and imputed (if missing). Linear regression of the estimated latent values permits forecasting with an error that decreases as more measurements are made. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for controlling power amplifier (PA) performance metrics such as linearity and stability based on out-of-band feedback are presented. Various embodiments provide for synthesizing negative baseband termination using a feedback network between the drain and gate bias paths of the PA, so that the intermodulation distortion (IMD) is suppressed without an increase in system complexity. Other embodiments include a feedback network topology between the drain and gate bias paths of the PA that provides stability enhancement of the PA without the need for conventional stability networks in the radio frequency (RF) path. The out-of-band feedback nature of the approach means that the continuous wave (CW) RF performance is not perturbed, enabling conventional design techniques to be used for the input and output matching networks while enhancing aspects of the PA performance. |

| ABSTRACT | Described are methods for identifying the in-field positions of plant features on a plant by plant basis. These positions are determined based on images captured as a vehicle (e.g., tractor, sprayer, etc.) including one or more cameras travels through the field along a row of crops. The in-field positions of the plant features are useful for a variety of purposes including, for example, generating three-dimensional data models of plants growing in the field, assessing plant growth and phenotypic features, determining what kinds of treatments to apply including both where to apply the treatments and how much, determining whether to remove weeds or other undesirable plants, and so on. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and apparatus are disclosed for high-efficiency thermal storage with a fluid-filled “battery” tank positioned within a fluid-filled “reservoir” tank. Fluid loops couple the tanks to a heat pump and a building. The heat pump can charge the battery tank or deliver thermal energy (cold or heat) to a building, using the reservoir tank or ambient air as a thermal energy source. The battery tank can discharge energy to the building jointly with the heat pump or, at periods of peak electricity usage, with the heat pump switched off. Operating modes allow significant savings in electricity usage and mitigate the “duck curve.” Low duty cycle usage of the reservoir enables efficient underground thermal storage with less digging than conventional geothermal technologies. Additional efficiency is achieved with phase change materials installed inside a tank or in a tank wall, providing temperature regulation. Control methods are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | In a method of atomic precision advanced manufacturing (APAM), an atomic or molecular resist layer on a substrate surface is selectively depassivated by locally exciting the substrate surface with an optical beam effective to eject adsorbed atoms or molecules from the substrate surface. The substrate surface is further processed by exposing it to a precursor gas, decomposing the precursor gas to release a dopant, and incorporating the dopant into the substrate surface. |

The device uses phononic crystals to engineer a phononic frequency gap that suppresses the decohering thermal phonon population just below the Cooper-frequency, and thus the normal conduction electron population. For example, such engineering can relax the cooling requirements for a variety of circuits yielding higher operational quality factors for superconducting electronics and interconnects. |

| ABSTRACT | A hermetically-sealed edge-connect header that can withstand high temperatures, high pressures (or high vacuum levels), and high vibration environments, along with two corresponding connectors are disclosed. After brazing the edge-connect header components, the assembly is machined to form a slot with a portion of each of a plurality of electrical conductors removed in the machining process, resulting in a header with a high pin density. During the process of mating the first connector design to the edge-connect header, a plurality of wipers in the connector deflect, thereby causing the wipers to extend from the connector and contact the corresponding electrical conductors in the header. During the process of mating the second connector design to the edge-connect header, each of a plurality of wipers formed of low-mass, compliant metal wool, forms multiple contact points with a corresponding electrical conductor in the header. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure is directed to synthesizing a nanomaterial-polymer composite via in situ interfacial polymerization. A nanomaterial is exposed to a solution having a first solute dissolved in an aqueous solvent to uniformly, or substantially uniformly, distribute the solvent throughout the porosity of the network of the nanomaterial. The nanomaterial is then exposed to a second solution having a second solute dissolved in an organic solvent, which is substantially immiscible with the first solvent, with the first solute reacting with the second solute. The first and second solutions can be stirred, or otherwise moved with respect to each other, to facilitate transport of the second solution throughout the nanomaterial to promote reaction of the polymer within the nanomaterial to produce a polymer composite having uniform morphology. |

| ABSTRACT | A laser range finder system to determine the range of a target including a laser pulse generating device and a laser amplifier for amplifying laser pulses to produce amplified laser pulses. Amplified laser pulses are transmitted toward a target and a laser pulse echoes reflected by a target are received by a receiver. The receiver includes a laser light detector and dual signal conditioning channels to condition and amplify signals derived from detected laser light and output conditioned signals. A high-gain channel amplifies laser pulse echoes having relatively lower signal power and a low-gain channel amplifies laser pulse echoes having relatively higher signal power. A digitizer produce samples of laser pulses and converts the samples to digital signals. A processing element processes the digital signals to determine an echo signature, a time of flight to the target and a range to the target. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to a plurality of phononic devices and a method of manufacturing thereof. In one embodiment, highly sensitive superconducting cryogenic detectors integrate phononic crystals into their architecture. The phononic structures are designed to reduce the loss of athermal phonons, resulting in lower noise and higher sensitivity detectors. This fabrication process increases the qp generation recombination rate, thus, reducing the noise equivalent power (NEP) without sacrificing the scalability. A plurality of phononic devices, such as a kinetic inductance detector (KID), a transition edge sensor (TES) bolometer, and quarterwave backshort, can be manufactured according to the methods of the present invention. |

| ABSTRACT | A solution for circumventing censorship is disclosed. A first device connects to a first server hosted in a content delivery network (CDN). The CDN routes the first device's connection request to the first server. The first server responds by providing the first device with a configuration file that contains a plurality of second servers for the first device to access. The first device disconnects from the first server and hops between one or more of the plurality of second servers contained in the configuration file. By distributing the configuration file from a first server hosted in a CDN, the first device obfuscates the true endpoint of the connection. Thus, the first device obtains the configuration file without drawing the ire of censors. By hopping from server-to-server, the first device stays one step ahead of censors. Accordingly, a multi-prong approach to staying a step ahead of eavesdroppers, sniffers, and censors is described. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are described, and an example system includes a transport bin configured to carry a baggage item and having spatial reference frame marking detectable by electromagnetic scan and by machine vision. The system includes a robotic arm apparatus at an inspection area, and includes a switched path baggage conveyor that, responsive to electromagnetic scan detection of an object-of-interest (OOI) within the baggage item, conveys the transport bin to the inspection area. The electromagnetic scan generates OOI geometric position information indicating geometric position of the OOI relative to the spatial reference frame marking. The robotic arm apparatus, responsive to receiving the transport bin, uses machine vision to detect orientation of the spatial reference frame marking, then translates OOI geometric position information to local reference frame, for robotic opening of the baggage item, and robotic accessing and contact swab testing on the OOI. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided are methods and related devices for disrupting an explosive device using a propellant driven disrupter (PDD) that propels a rounded projectile (RP) toward an explosive device. The RP travels along a linear trajectory and impacts the target, including a barrier portion of the explosive device. The impacting between the RP and barrier forms a composite projectile via a solid state weld between a portion of the barrier and the RP distal end, thereby minimizing or avoiding spall and fragment generation into the explosive device. The projectile traverses a penetration distance along the linear trajectory, or a defined-angle relative thereto, to disrupt the explosive device without unwanted explosive detonation. |

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 23, 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:
