| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are systems and methods for generating wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images. In embodiments, multiple OCTA scans of a sample are automatically acquired at overlapping locations. The systems and methods include functionality to adaptively control the scanning procedure such that eye blink and eye motion events are detected in real time and accounted for during 3D scan acquisition. Also disclosed are methods for detecting and correcting motion-related artifacts in OCTA datasets which allow for the longer scan times over larger fields of view required for wide-field imaging. These methods may include division of en face angiogram images into a set of motion-free parallel strips, and application of gross and fine registration methods to align overlapping strips into a motion-corrected composite image. A series of overlapping motion-corrected composite images may be combined into a larger montage to enable wide-field OCTA imaging using multiple OCTA scans. |

| ABSTRACT | Many strains of the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis carry a compact Cas9 (NmeCas9) that can serve to limit genetic exchange via natural transformation. Cas9 orthologues (including NmeCas9) have recently been adopted for RNA-guided genome engineering and DNA binding, adding to the need to define better their activities and properties. The present invention examines DNA cleavage activities and substrate requirements of NmeCas9, including a set of unusually complex PAM recognition patterns. Unexpectedly, NmeCas9 is found able to cleave single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) targets in a manner that is RNA-guided but both PAM- and tracrRNA-independent. Beyond the requirement for guide-target pairing, this activity has no apparent sequence requirements, and the cleavage sites are measured from the 5′ end of the DNA substrate's RNA-paired region. These results indicate that tracrRNA domains are not strictly required for enzymatic activation of NmeCas9, and expand the list of targeting activities exhibited by these revolutionary RNA-guided nucleases. |

| ABSTRACT | The identification of mutations that are present in a small fraction of DNA templates is essential for progress in several areas of biomedical research. Though massively parallel sequencing instruments are in principle well-suited to this task, the error rates in such instruments are generally too high to allow confident identification of rare variants. We here describe an approach that can substantially increase the sensitivity of massively parallel sequencing instruments for this purpose. One example of this approach, called “Safe-SeqS” for (Safe-Sequencing System) includes (i) assignment of a unique identifier (UID) to each template molecule; (ii) amplification of each uniquely tagged template molecule to create UID-families; and (iii) redundant sequencing of the amplification products. PCR fragments with the same UID are truly mutant (“super-mutants”) if ≥95% of them contain the identical mutation. We illustrate the utility of this approach for determining the fidelity of a polymerase, the accuracy of oligonucleotides synthesized in vitro, and the prevalence of mutations in the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of normal cells. |

| ABSTRACT | A vehicle includes a surface for contacting a fluid medium through which the vehicle is propelled. The vehicle also includes an array of transducers and a controller. The transducers in the array are arranged across the vehicle's surface for generating pressure waves in the fluid medium. Each transducer in the array is arranged to vibrate for generating a respective pressure wave, which propagates away from the surface in the fluid medium. The controller vibrates the transducers in the array so that the pressure waves control the drag of the vehicle from the fluid medium. |

| ABSTRACT | A portable, compact, real-time and accurate sensor and method for deriving a physicochemical property of a liquid fuel, such as cetane number, carbon content, carbon/hydrogen (C/H) atomic ratio, or heating value (net heat of combustion). The sensor comprises a constant-volume ignition chamber equipped for measuring ignition delay and magnitude of a peak rise in pressure or temperature following dispensation of a liquid fuel into the chamber. The sensor utilizes air at atmospheric pressure and microliter quantities of fuel. The sensor can be implemented in real-time refinery operations for blending diesel fuels that meet government mandated cetane number standards as well as in applications for standardizing jet, biodiesel, and synthetic fuels, which presently are not classified by any physicochemical property. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is a method for predicting the future magnetic alignment of a runway. Extrapolating from previous historical records, the future trajectory of the Earth's eccentric geomagnetic axial pole (“ED”) is predicted. With that predicted trajectory as the basis, the future azimuthal change between the location of the ED and the location of an airfield is calculated. At the location of the airfield, a future change in the declination between true north and geomagnetic north is then calculated based on the predicted azimuthal change. The predicted change in declination then becomes the predicted change in magnetic alignment of any runway at the airfield. By predicting future changes in the magnetic alignment of a runway, preparations for changing the name of the runway can be made. |

| ABSTRACT | In accordance with a method of forming a waveguide in a polymer film disposed on a substrate, a plurality of regions on a polymer film are selectively exposed to a first dosage of radiation. The polymer film is formed from a material having a refractive index that decreases by exposure to the radiation and subsequent heating. At least one region of the polymer film that was not previously exposed to the radiation is selectively exposing to a second dosage of radiation. The second dosage of radiation is less than the first dosage of radiation. The polymer film is heated to complete curing of the polymer film. |

| ABSTRACT | Time delay devices for producing tunable time delays in optical signals. Cascades of the time delay devices can be used for beam steering in phased-array antennas. The time delay may be produced by selecting a time delay between an input and output of the time delay device from any of the time delay obtained by all four-port switches of the time delay device being in an OFF state and time delays obtainable by switching any one of the four-port switches to an ON state; and producing the selected time delay between the input and output of the time delay device by performing any of avoiding an application of an electrical control signal to any of electro-optic switch elements of the time delay device and applying the electrical control signal to one of the electro-optic switch elements that corresponds to a four-port coupler corresponding to the selected time delay. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, memory controllers, devices, and machine-readable mediums which minimize this stall time by returning a memory write acknowledgement once a write command has been selected by the memory controller input multiplexor rather than when the memory write command has been performed. Because the memory controller enforces an ordering to memory once the packet has been selected at an input multiplexor, ordering of prior and subsequent requests to the same address location are preserved and providing the response early allows the processor to continue its operations earlier without any harmful effects. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for estimating output neuron spikes based on input-output spike data that includes input spike data and corresponding output spike data includes formulating, using a controller, a weight value that characterizes plastic properties of a neuron based on the input-output spike data. The method further includes receiving, by the controller, an input spike train. The method further includes estimating, using the controller, an output spike train that corresponds to the input spike train by applying the weight value to a feedforward kernel that estimates the output spike train based on the input spike train and the weight value. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are provided for identification and tracking of large semi-closed eddies (e.g., oceanic eddies). For example, embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for detecting a cyclonic or anticyclonic eddy in the ocean and determining its size, shape, and intensity given a single input field. In an embodiment, this input is a two-dimensional (2D) gridded field of Sea Surface Height Anomaly (SSHA) or Absolute Dynamic Topography (ADT), both of which can be determined from satellite based observations. Embodiments of the present disclosure are more accurate and computationally efficient than traditional methods and further provide high adaptability that will enable additional improvements as advances are made in satellite-based observations. |

| ABSTRACT | A maskless, patterned graphene film is produced through use of a tunable metal as a catalyst for graphene growth. The metal layer contains precisely defined textures that control the formation of the graphene film. Specifically, graphene growth can be controlled from F-LG (few layer graphene) down to 2-LG (2-layer graphene) and 1-LG (1-layer graphene). More than one texture can be created to form maskless patterns of graphene. Once the graphene layer(s) are grown, the film can be released from the metal and applied to any form and shape of rigid or flexible substrate for a variety of different applications where graphene cannot be normally grown directly. |

| ABSTRACT | Logic may store at least a portion of an incoming packet at a memory location in a host device in response to a communication from the host device. Logic may compare the incoming packet to a digest in an entry of a primary array. When the incoming packet matches the digest, logic may retrieve a full entry from the secondary array and compare the full entry with the first incoming packet. When the full entry matches the first incoming packet, logic may store at least a portion of the first incoming packet at the memory location. And, in the absence of a match between the first incoming packet and the digest or full entry, logic may compare the first incoming packet to subsequent entries in the primary array to identify a full entry in the secondary array that matches the first incoming packet. |

| ABSTRACT | Magnet microstructure manipulation in the solid state by controlled application of a sufficient stress in a direction during high temperature annealing in a single-phase region of heat-treatable magnet alloys, e.g., alnico-type magnets is followed by magnetic annealing and draw annealing to improve coercivity and saturation magnetization properties. The solid-state process can be termed highly controlled abnormal grain growth (hereafter AGG) and will make aligned sintered anisotropic magnets that meet or exceed the magnetic properties of cast versions of the same alloy types. |

| ABSTRACT | A tube-in-tube heat exchanger utilizes a selectively permeable tube having a selective permeable layer to allow the refrigerant to transfer into an ionic liquid to generate heating or cooling. The ionic liquid then provides heating or cooling to a heat transfer fluid through a non-permeable layer or tube. The system may be configured as a shell and tube design, with the third fluid free to flow on the outside of the shell, or as a shell and tube-in-tube, with a central tube containing a first liquid, a second tube containing a second liquid, and an outer shell containing the third liquid. The selectively permeable tube may include an anion or cation selectively permeable layer and this layer may be supported by a support layer or tube. |

| ABSTRACT | Nanocomposites in accordance with many embodiments of the invention can be capable of converting electromagnetic radiation to an electric signal, such as signals in the form of current or voltage. In some embodiments, metallic nanostructures are integrated with graphene material to form a metallo-graphene nanocomposite. Graphene is a material that has been explored for broadband and ultrafast photodetection applications because of its distinct optical and electronic characteristics. However, the low optical absorption and the short carrier lifetime of graphene can limit its use in many applications. Nanocomposites in accordance with various embodiments of the invention integrates metallic nanostructures, such as (but not limited to) plasmonic nanoantennas and metallic nanoparticles, with a graphene-based material to form metallo-graphene nanostructures that can offer high responsivity, ultrafast temporal responses, and broadband operation in a variety of optoelectronic applications. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrocatalytically active ink composition is used with an additive manufacturing process, such as 3D printing, to produce electrodes having consistent, adaptable, and high surface area structures. The electrocatalytically active ink composition includes a mixed powdered precursor and a polymer matrix. The mixed powdered precursor includes a carbon source, a dopant source, and/or a metal-containing catalyst. The material and electrochemical properties of the ink composition may facilitate 3D printing of electrochemically active electrodes for energy conversion and storage devices, and may allow fine-tuning of macro- and microstructures to develop electrodes having improved activity and efficiency. |

| ABSTRACT | Both parallel-type and serial-type dual-mode oscillators employing stress compensated cut resonators having various configurations are disclosed. Both classes of dual-mode oscillators employ multiple tank circuits to pass one frequency of the resonator and block the other frequency. The tank circuits isolate the operation of the two oscillator sub-circuits that form the dual-mode oscillator from one another. The dual-mode oscillators may be implemented with either bipolar or CMOS transistors. The parallel-type dual-mode oscillators employ inverters to provide gain. The serial-type dual-mode oscillators employ a two (or three) stage design including a follower circuit first stage and an inverting amplifier/limiter circuit second stage, with an optional intervening transimpedance amplifier stage. |

| ABSTRACT | Various embodiments of the present technology use low-frequency magnetic signals for communication and location applications. Compared to the case of traditionally used radio-frequency electromagnetic signals, their advantage in the presence of strong signal attenuation is in the extended spatial range. Some embodiments use an optically pumped atomic magnetometer operated as a sensor to achieve high detection sensitivity. The spatial range can be extended to hundreds of meters when noise is suppressed by the use of the available sensor sensitivity. In some embodiments, a one-channel spread-spectrum signal processing technique can be used to eliminate the systematic fluctuations coming from power grid (or another source) harmonics and reduce the ambient noise by averaging uncorrelated fluctuations from the environment. |

| ABSTRACT | A spatial approach is provided to mitigate multipath error for an indoor pedestrian localization system using broadband communication signals, such as cellular long-term evolution (LTE) carrier phase measurements. Motion of a receiver may be used to synthesize an antenna array from time-separated elements. Received data may then be combined for synthetic aperture navigation that allows for suppressing multipath error based on determination of direction-of-arrival (DOA) of the incoming communication (e.g., LTE) signals. In one embodiment, navigation observables may be determined based on determined direction of arrival. |

| ABSTRACT | Single-mode distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers including single mode DFB waveguides with tapered grating structures are provided herein. Tapered grating structures provide for single mode DFB waveguides with predictable single mode operation. Uniform grating structures may provide for single mode operation, however DFB waveguides implementing uniform grating structures may operate at one of two single modes. Advantageously, DFB waveguides with tapered gratings operate with a spectrally narrow single mode at the same predictable single mode for all DFB waveguides with substantially identical specifications. Such predictability may lead to increased yield during manufacture of DFB waveguides with tapered gratings. |

| ABSTRACT | Logic may store at least a portion of an incoming packet at a memory location in a host device in response to a communication from the host device. Logic may compare the incoming packet to a digest in an entry of a primary array. When the incoming packet matches the digest, logic may retrieve a full entry from the secondary array and compare the full entry with the first incoming packet. When the full entry matches the first incoming packet, logic may store at least a portion of the first incoming packet at the memory location. And, in the absence of a match between the first incoming packet and the digest or full entry, logic may compare the first incoming packet to subsequent entries in the primary array to identify a full entry in the secondary array that matches the first incoming packet. |

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 27, 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:
