| ABSTRACT | A system and method for controlling the delivery of ultrasound energy to a subject is provided. In particular, such a system and method are capable of safely disrupting the blood-brain barrier. Ultrasound energy is delivered to produce cavitation of an ultrasound contrast agent at a selected pressure value. An acoustic signal is acquired following cavitation, from which a signal spectrum is produced. The signal spectrum is analyzed for the presence of harmonics, such as subharmonics or ultraharmonics. When subharmonics or ultraharmonics are present, the pressure value is decreased for subsequent sonications. If a previous sonication resulted in no subharmonics or ultraharmonics being generated, then the pressure value may be increased. In this manner, the blood-brain barrier can be advantageously disrupted while mitigating potentially injurious effects of the sonication. |

| ABSTRACT | A system may forecast a plurality of workload measurements for a database management system (DBMS) at respective times based on a workload model. The system may determine, based on the forecasted workload measurements, configuration parameter sets optimized for the DBMS at the respective times. The system may generate a reconfiguration plan. The system may determine a performance gain that would result from reconfiguring nodes of the DBMS with the configurations parameter sets. In addition, the system may determine a performance loss that would result from the respective databases of the nodes being inaccessible during reconfiguration with the configuration parameter sets. The system may select a reconfiguration plan in response to the performance gain and the performance loss satisfying a fitness criterion. The system may cause, at the reconfiguration times, the nodes to begin reconfiguration with the configuration parameter sets included in the selected reconfiguration plan. |

| ABSTRACT | Not only is annotating medical images tedious and time consuming, but it also demands costly, specialty-oriented expertise, which is not easily accessible. To address this challenge, a new self-supervised framework is introduced: TransVW (transferable visual words), exploiting the prowess of transfer learning with convolutional neural networks and the unsupervised nature of visual word extraction with bags of visual words, resulting in an annotation-efficient solution to medical image analysis. TransVW was evaluated using NIH ChestX-ray14 to demonstrate its annotation efficiency. When compared with training from scratch and ImageNet-based transfer learning, TransVW reduces the annotation efforts by 75% and 12%, respectively, in addition to significantly accelerating the convergence speed. More importantly, TransVW sets new records: achieving the best average AUC on all 14 diseases, the best individual AUC scores on 10 diseases, and the second best individual AUC scores on 3 diseases. This performance is unprecedented, because heretofore no self-supervised learning method has outperformed ImageNet-based transfer learning and no annotation reduction has been reported for self-supervised learning. These achievements are contributable to a simple yet powerful observation: The complex and recurring anatomical structures in medical images are natural visual words, which can be automatically extracted, serving as strong yet free supervision signals for CNNs to learn generalizable and transferable image representation via self-supervision. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for computed tomography provide advances in efficiency. The methods operating within the parallel-beam geometry, rather than a divergent beam geometry, for the majority of the operations. In back projection methods perform digital image coordinate transformations on selected intermediate-images, the parameters of one or more coordinate transformations being chosen such that Fourier spectral support of the intermediate-image is modified so that a region of interest has an increased extent along one or more coordinate direction and the aggregates of the intermediate-images can be represented with a desired accuracy by sparse samples. Forward projection methods perform digital image coordinate transformations on an input image to produce multiple intermediate-images, the parameters of one or more coordinate transformations being chosen such that Fourier spectral support of an intermediate-image being produced is modified so that a region of interest has a reduced extent along one or more coordinate direction and the intermediate-images can be represented with a desired accuracy by sparse samples. |

| ABSTRACT | Lithium-ion cells are widely used in various platforms, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and mobile devices. Complete and fast charging of cells has always been the goal for sustainable system operation. However, fast charging is not always the best solution, especially in view of a new finding that cells need to rest/relax after being charged with high current to avoid accelerated capacity fading. A user aware charging algorithm is proposed which maximizes the charged capacity within a user-specified available charging time (i.e., user-awareness) while ensuring enough relaxation (i.e., cell-awareness) and keeping cell temperature below a safe level. |

| ABSTRACT | A harness system for a clip. The clip has a base portion and a pair of elongated members, the elongated members folded over the base portion, thereby defining a gap configured to receive portions of a harness. The elongated members are separated from one another by a longitudinal opening for accommodating a rib between the portions of the harness. A gate is securably engaged to a first one of the elongated members and rotatable between an open position in which the gate does not obstruct said longitudinal opening and a closed position in which said gate obstructs said longitudinal opening. The harness is fashioned from a strip of webbing secured to a base along its midline and edges. The webbing thereby forms two pockets, each sized to accommodate one of the elongated members of the clip. |

| ABSTRACT | The devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are generally directed to using an increase in gas pressure (e.g., through an increase in heat) to move an actuator that at least partially defines a volume containing a feed fluid in fluid communication with a membrane. As the increase in gas pressure moves the actuator, pressure on the feed fluid in the volume may increase beyond a threshold pressure sufficient to move the feed fluid through the membrane. Movement of the feed fluid through the membrane may reduce a volumetric concentration of one or more components of the feed fluid to form a permeate. For example, the increase in pressure may drive the actuator to increase pressure on salt-water in the volume and, ultimately, move the salt-water through the membrane to form the permeate as part of a reverse osmosis process achieved without the use of a mechanical pump. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure shows the ability of a readily-available oxidizer to achieve oxidation of 5-amino-1H-tetrazole (5-AT) to 5-nitrotetrazole (5-NT) in high yields in a single pot synthesis. This strategy reduces the synthesis of this important energetic material down to a single step and eliminates highly sensitive diazonium and copper salt primary explosive intermediates. The overall yield of this process is 48-53% and the resultant aqueous solution of product effectively used for the preparation of nitrotetrazole-containing primary explosive DBX-1. Unlike current methods of nitrotetrazole preparation, the novel method is entirely solution-based and prepares a final solution of sodium nitrotetrazolate, never once needing to handle energetic intermediates or products, making it a much safer method of nitrotetrazole preparation. |

| ABSTRACT | Shortwave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) systems comprise a supercontinuum laser source configured to illuminate objects and a receiver comprising a spectrometer configured to receive light reflected from the objects. In some cases, hyperspectral images can be created by raster scanning of the source/receiver across a scene. The supercontinuum laser source provides active illumination to allow collection of hyperspectral imagery during day (including overcast conditions) and night. Additionally, the hyperspectral imaging systems can use range-gated imaging. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods use a tunable notch filter for constructing a spectral map of electromagnetic radiation in a selected spectral band that is incident on a notch filter for a plurality of time periods. Electromagnetic radiation is passed by an electronically tuned notch filter to a detector array for the plurality of selected time periods, and the detector response is determined. For at least a first selected time period the notch filter is tuned to selectively attenuate the passing of one or more selected sub-bands of electromagnetic radiation in the selected spectral band. Information about the selectively attenuated radiation is determined and used along with information about the radiation passed to the detector array for each time period to construct a spectral map. Electronically tunable notch filters may be made with metamaterials such as patterned graphene. |

| ABSTRACT | Eddy current sensing is governed by the diffusion equation of magnetoquasistatic fields. As such the eddy current sensor's proximity to the object to be inspected (i.e., “liftoff”) significantly affects the sensor's response signal. Methods and apparatus are disclosed for improving performance for an eddy current sensor, though they may also be used for other sensor types. These solutions are beneficial for both single channel eddy current sensors and arrays, and are particularly beneficial for measuring parts with complex surfaces. In some aspects improved performance is achieved by varying the stiffness of the mechanical support for the sensor. Some mechanical supports may exhibit anisotropic stiffness. After performing a scan with an eddy current array, a multi-channel shape filtering module is applied to improve defect detection. The module reduces the variability of defect response measured due to the unpredictability of the defect location transverse to the scan direction. |

| ABSTRACT | A solar thermophotovoltaic system has a heat exchanger containing a heat exchange fluid, and a thin-film integrated spectrally-selective plasmonic absorber emitter (ISSAE) in direct contact with an outer surface of the heat exchanger, the ISSAE including an ultra-thin non-shiny metal layer that is strongly absorbing in a solar spectral range and strongly reflective in an infrared spectral range. The metal layer has an inner surface in direct contact with an outer surface of the heat exchanger. A photovoltaic cell support structure with an inner surface in a concentric configuration partially surrounds the ISSAE; and an airgap separates the support structure and the outer surface of the metal layer. Photovoltaic cells are arranged on a portion of the inner surface of the support structure to receive emissions from the ISSAE, and a solar energy collector/concentrator allows solar radiation to impinge a portion of the metal layer. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods, systems, programmable atomic units, and machine-readable mediums that provide an exception as a response to the calling processor. That is, the programmable atomic unit will send a response to the calling processor. The calling processor will recognize that the exception has been raised and will handle the exception. Because the calling processor knows which process triggered the exception, the calling processor (e.g., the Operating System) can take appropriate action, such as terminating the calling process. The calling processor may be a same processor as that executing the programmable atomic transaction, or a different processor (e.g., on a different chiplet). |

| ABSTRACT | A biometric attribution approach identifies a keyboard actor based on timing between entered keystrokes. Patterns tend to emerge in a timing interval between keystrokes entered by an actor. The keystroke patterns of an actor are analyzed to compute a signature exhibited by the actor. Gathered or intercepted keystroke patterns of an unknown actor are compared to identify a likelihood that typing sessions emanated from a common actor. Keystroke activity of a purported suspect actor can be compared to a database or model of keystroke attributes for determining if the keystroke activity emanated from the same actor as other keystroke sequences. Keystroke patterns rely only on the timing between keystrokes, as key data and upstroke information need not be gathered since the comparisons reply only on keystroke timing deltas. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for providing optical quantum communication networks based on rare-earth ion quantum bits (qubits) entrapped in solids are presented. According to one aspect a qubit is provided by an 171Yb3+ ion doped into a YVO crystal structure. A nanophotonic cavity fabricated in the doped crystal structure provides a zero-field energy level structure of the ion with optical transitions between ground and excited states at a wavelength longer than 980 nm. A subspace of the qubit is provided by two lower energy levels at the ground states separated by a microwave frequency of about 675 MHz. Addressing of the optical transitions is via first and second lasers and addressing of microwave transitions at the ground and excited states are via respective microwave sources. A single-shot readout sequence of the qubit based on two consecutive readout sequences on the optical transitions separated by a microwave pumping of the ground states is presented. Assignment of a readout state is conditionally based on combined states detected in the two consecutive readout sequences. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure provides a method to produce highly attrition resistant pellets by encapsulating reactive components in a vitrified clay outer layer. The reactive component mixture is present relative to the clay substrate in a weight ratio of part per 60-100 part to about 60 parts of the clay substrate. The reactive components are agglomerated first, and clay substrate is added to form the outer layer of the pellet. The pellets are calcined at temperatures above 1200 C to form a vitrified clay semi porous outer layer providing high strength to the pellet while facilitating the gas transfer for the reaction with the encapsulated reactive components. Pellets containing CuO—Fe2O3-alumina oxygen carrier for chemical looping combustion of fuel demonstrated high attrition resistance and high reactivity with methane. |

| ABSTRACT | A generative attribute optimization (“GAO”) system facilitates understanding of effects of changes of attribute values of an object on a characteristic of the object and automatically identifying attribute values to achieve a desired result for the characteristic. The GAO system trains a generator (encoder and decoder) using an attribute generative adversarial network. The GAO model includes the trained generator and a separately trained predictor model. The GAO model inputs an input image and modified attribute values and employs the encoder and the decoder to generate a modified image that is the input image modified based on the modified attribute values. The GAO model then employs the predictor model to that inputs the modified image and generate a prediction of a characteristic of the modified image. The GAO system may employ an optimizer to modify the attribute values until an objective based on the desired result is achieved. |

| ABSTRACT | Detecting anomalies with a spiking neural network is provided. An input layer receives a number of inputs and converts them into phase-coded spikes, wherein each input is contained within a number of progressively larger neighborhoods of surrounding inputs. From the phase-coded spikes, a median value of each input is computed for each size neighborhood. An absolute difference of each input from its median value is computed for each size neighborhood. A median absolute difference (MAD) of each input is computed for each size neighborhood. For each input, an adaptive median filter (AMF) determines if a MAD for any size neighborhood exceeds a respective threshold. If one or more neighborhoods exceeds its threshold, the AMF outputs the median value of the input for the smallest neighborhood. If none of the neighborhoods exceeds the threshold, the AMF outputs the original value of the input. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrostatic energy harvester broadly comprises an electrical energy storage component, an electrical energy transfer stage, first and second variable capacitors, and a switching control module. The electrical energy transfer stage includes diode-connected transistors and dictates electrical energy transfer between the electrical energy storage component and the variable capacitors. The switching control module timely switches between the first and second variable capacitors according to a state machine. Subsequent electrical energy investments from the electrical energy storage component are less than an initial electrical energy investment due to remnant electrical energy remaining at the previously active one of the first and second variable capacitors from previous electrical energy harvesting. |

| ABSTRACT | Application of a new light-molecule interaction in which molecules enable emission of photons with more energy than that of the absorbed photons achieves higher resolution than fluorescence imaging. This emission phenomenon is termed supracence and is applied to obtain more information about the structure and properties of a specimen than currently possible with fluorescence imaging techniques. Because supracence originates from chemical bonds, any structure that contains chemical bonds meets the necessary condition to potentially emit supracence. Super spectral resolution images are achieved by selectively exciting a target molecule to suprace without exciting another fluorophore that has absorption and emission rather close to the target. |

| ABSTRACT | Transient voltage noise, including resistive and reactive noise, causes timing errors at runtime. A heuristic framework, Walking Pads, is introduced to minimize transient voltage violations by optimizing power supply pad placement. It is shown that the steady-state optimal design point differs from the transient optimum, and further noise reduction can be achieved with transient optimization. The methodology significantly reduces voltage violations by balancing the average transient voltage noise of the four branches at each pad site. When pad placement is optimized using a representative stressmark, voltage violations are reduced 46-80% across 11 Parsec benchmarks with respect to the results from IR-drop-optimized pad placement. It is shown that the allocation of on-chip decoupling capacitance significantly influences the optimal locations of pads. |

| ABSTRACT | Lithium-ion cells are widely used in various platforms, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and mobile devices. Complete and fast charging of cells has always been the goal for sustainable system operation. However, fast charging is not always the best solution, especially in view of a new finding that cells need to rest/relax after being charged with high current to avoid accelerated capacity fading. A user aware charging algorithm is proposed which maximizes the charged capacity within a user-specified available charging time (i.e., user-awareness) while ensuring enough relaxation (i.e., cell-awareness) and keeping cell temperature below a safe level. |

| ABSTRACT | A ΔΣ frequency to digital converter includes digital feedback to an accumulator in a ring phase calculator that provides the converter output, which reduces implantation complexity. Digital gain correction is applicable to dual mode ring oscillator converters and charge pump converters, provides compensation for forward path gain error and eliminates the need to include analog gain correction in feedback. Asynchronous sampling includes correction logic to compensate for arbitrary initial conditions. A digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) control technique causes the DCO frequency to increase or decrease by changing the state of one its frequency control elements at a time. |

| ABSTRACT | A deep neural network (DNN) media noise predictor configured for one-dimensional-magnetic (1DMR) recording or two-dimensional-magnetic (TDMR) is introduced. Such architectures are often combined with a trellis-based intersymbol interference (ISI) detection component in a turbo architecture to avoid the state explosion problem by separating the inter-symbol interference (ISI) detection and media noise estimation into two separate detectors and uses the turbo-principle to exchange information between them so as to address the modeling problem by way of training a DNN-based media noise estimators. Thus, beneficial aspects include a reduced bit-error rate (BER), an increased areal density, and a reduction in computational complexity and computational time. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for providing optical quantum communication networks based on rare-earth ion quantum bits (qubits) entrapped in solids are presented. According to one aspect a qubit is provided by an 171Yb3+ ion doped into a YVO crystal structure. A nanophotonic cavity fabricated in the doped crystal structure provides a zero-field energy level structure of the ion with optical transitions between ground and excited states at a wavelength longer than 980 nm. A subspace of the qubit is provided by two lower energy levels at the ground states separated by a microwave frequency of about 675 MHz. Addressing of the optical transitions is via first and second lasers and addressing of microwave transitions at the ground and excited states are via respective microwave sources. A single-shot readout sequence of the qubit based on two consecutive readout sequences on the optical transitions separated by a microwave pumping of the ground states is presented. Assignment of a readout state is conditionally based on combined states detected in the two consecutive readout sequences. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure provides a two-phase separator device for separating condensate or particulate from a gas stream. In some implementations, the separator device removes water from air and may operate under micro-gravity conditions. The gas stream flows through the two-phase separator device and passes through a rotatable vane assembly along a flow path without being redirected in another flow path. Condensate or particulate in the gas stream is impacted by a plurality of vanes of the rotatable vane assembly, and the condensate is captured by features formed within the plurality of vanes. The captured condensate is accelerated radially outwardly along the each of the plurality of vanes towards a sloped inner wall, and further moved along the sloped inner wall in a direction against the flow path of the gas stream during rotation. |

| ABSTRACT | A four-wheeled articulated steering vehicle for terrain exploration. The four-wheeled articulated steering vehicle has a pair of robotic tethered two-wheel vehicles that dock, lock, and drive long distances as the four-wheeled, articulated steering vehicle. Two actuated docking mechanisms attached on opposite ends of a central module of the four-wheeled vehicle enable “sit/stand” functionality. The “sit” configuration is achieved by aligning each dock mechanism parallel or nearly parallel to the surface, allowing two-wheel vehicle to detach and explore while the other remains docked and serves as a backup. While ‘sitting’, the central module rests on the ground and is outfitted with shovel-style wedges for passive anchoring. In order to “stand”, the exploring two-wheel vehicle reattaches, locks, and both dock mechanisms are rotated until each two-wheel vehicle's caster arm is upright and the central module is lifted off the ground. Once upright, each two-wheel vehicle rotates about a pivot point for articulated, all-wheel steering, which is accomplished by applying differential wheel torques. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for in situ production of antimicrobial filtration membranes that uses self-assembly of surfactants such as block copolymers as a template. The mesophase structure (for example hexagonal or lamellar) can be determined, and membrane pore size can be controlled in the nanometer range, by changing the block copolymer and the amounts of the components such as the block copolymer, aqueous solution, monomer, crosslinker, and initiator. The monomer phase cures in the template and there is no need for organic solvents and coagulation bath or other post-modification. As-synthesized membranes were found to have pore sizes with a narrow size distribution in the range of 3-4 nm with a molecular weight cutoff of 1500 g/mol and displayed both excellent fouling resistance and high permeance of water, vastly outperforming a conventional NIPS UF membrane. The monomer can comprise a quaternary ammonium group so that the membrane is antibacterial. The block copolymer can comprise hydrophilic blocks which form the surfaces of the membrane pores, rendering them hydrophilic. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides a method for detecting mycoplasma, which can directly confirm whether a cell is infected with mycoplasma, by simultaneously amplifying DNA extracted from lysing a host cell infected with mycoplasma, and mitochondrial DNA in the cytoplasm of the host cell. According to the method of the present invention, by directly using the DNA inside the host cell, the DNA of mycoplasma bound around the nucleus of the host cell can be used as an amplification target, thereby increasing detection sensitivity. In addition, since the mitochondrial DNA inside the host cell is used as an amplification target of an internal control sample, whether the sample has been sampled in an appropriate amount can be confirmed in a convenient manner, and furthermore, by comparing the band size between the internal control sample and the mycoplasma DNA, the degree of mycoplasma infection can be quantitatively confirmed. |

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, September 06, 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.
