| ABSTRACT | Systems, devices, and methods are described for assessing the risk of developmental, cognitive, social, or mental abilities or disabilities in very young patients (e.g., in the first 2-6 months of life). Generally, the decline in visual fixation of a subject over time with respect to certain dynamic stimuli provides a marker of possible abilities or disabilities (such as ASD). The visual fixation of the subject is identified, monitored, and tracked over time through repeated eye tracking sessions, and data relating to the visual fixation is then analyzed to determine a possible increased risk certain conditions in the subject. A change in visual fixation as compared to similar visual fixation data of typically-developing subjects or to a subject's own, prior visual fixation data provides an indication of a developmental, cognitive, or mental ability or disability. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides for a device and method of control for an artificial prosthetic knee. A prosthetic knee according to the present disclosure relies on strictly passive means of providing support during weight bearing and supplements a resistive swing-phase mechanism with a small powered actuator. This actuator adds power to the knee, exclusively during swing phase, to improve swing-phase behavior. In particular, the knee still relies on the resistive swing-phase mechanism to provide nominal swing-phase knee motion, but supplements that motion as needed with the small powered actuator. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing the risk and severity of C. difficile infection. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that a restricted fraction of the gut microbiota, including the bacterium Clostridium scindens, contributes substantially to resistance against C. difficile infection. Without being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that this is achieved through the biosynthesis of secondary bile acids. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are fluid complex coacervates that produce solid adhesives in situ. Oppositely charged polyelectrolytes were designed to form fluid adhesive complex coacervates at ionic strengths higher than the ionic strength of the application site, but an insoluble adhesive solid or gel at the application site. When the fluid, high ionic strength adhesive complex coacervates are introduced into the lower ionic strength application site, the fluid complex coacervate is converted to a an adhesive solid or gel as the salt concentration in the complex coacervate equilibrates to the application site salt concentration. In one embodiment, the fluid complex coacervates are designed to solidify in situ at physiological ionic strength and have numerous medical applications. In other aspects, the fluid complex coacervates can be used in aqueous environment for non-medical applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Apparatuses and methods for electrokinetic transport of fluids to patients. Drug-containing solutions may be placed in vial-like reservoir, which is connected to an apparatus such as a traditional catheter or other device capable of holding a drug-containing solution. Instead of a vial-like reservoir, a doped infusion pad or a gel may be used as a source of the drug-containing solution. The reservoir and apparatus may thus be the same component. The methods and apparatuses disclosed herein may also be used to transport fluid alone to achieve a clinical effect. The apparatus is placed at the point of drug delivery. The counter-electrode may be placed in or on a patient. Current is passed from the reservoir to the counter-electrode. Through electrokinetic transport, drug-containing solution is delivered along a current path from the drug source to the counter-electrode. A hollow fiber catheter for use in electrokinetic transport is also disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure provides systems and methods to extend the capabilities of inertial and/or viscoelastic focusing in channels, such as microchannels. The new systems and methods can be integrated with existing microfluidic devices for inertial and/or viscoelastic manipulation of particles that have defied prior attempts, enabling a variety of applications in clinical diagnosis. The particles, e.g., bioparticles and cells, focus into streamlines in the same way and in the same locations as in existing inertial and viscoelastic focusing systems, but at much lower particle Reynolds numbers, much lower shear stress, over much shorter distances, and at lower driving pressures and/or flow rates. |

| ABSTRACT | A method to capture microscopy images from multiple image sensors and to relay them to one or more central processing units while minimizing delay in image capture can include the co-optimization of image acquisition hardware, data aggregation digital logic, firmware, and integration with data post processing on the central processing units. The methods can include organizing the incoming image data into data packets containing partial image frames, together with configuring the central processing units to be capable of analyzing the received partial image frames. The quick analysis of the images, e.g., on the partial image frames, can allow the computational system to rapidly respond to the captured images, such as to provide feed back on the captured images before the next images are to be captured. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are fluid complex coacervates that produce solid adhesives in situ. Oppositely charged polyelectrolytes were designed to form fluid adhesive complex coacervates at ionic strengths higher than the ionic strength of the application site, but an insoluble adhesive solid or gel at the application site. When the fluid, high ionic strength adhesive complex coacervates are introduced into the lower ionic strength application site, the fluid complex coacervate is converted to a an adhesive solid or gel as the salt concentration in the complex coacervate equilibrates to the application site salt concentration. In one embodiment, the fluid complex coacervates are designed to solidify in situ at physiological ionic strength and have numerous medical applications. In other aspects, the fluid complex coacervates can be used in aqueous environment for non-medical applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments provide detection systems and methods for detecting the presence of a nucleic acid in one or more samples. In a detection method, a sample and one or more nucleic acid probes are introduced into a channel. A first potential difference is applied across the length of the channel in a first direction, and a first electrical property value is detected. Subsequently, a second potential difference is applied across the length of the channel in a second opposite direction, and a second electrical property value is detected. Presence or absence of a nucleic acid in the channel is determined based on a comparison between the first and second electrical property values. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of reducing low-energy flow in a flight vehicle engine includes an isolator of the engine having a swept-back wedge to improve flow mixing. The wedge includes forward shock-anchoring locations, such as edges or rapidly-curved portions, that anchor oblique shocks in situations where the isolator has sufficient back pressure. The swept-back wedge may also create swept oblique shocks along its length. Boundary layer flow streamlines are diverted running parallel to or parallel but moving outward conically to the swept-wedge leading edge moving outboard and upward. The non-viscous flow outside the boundary layer is processed through the swept-back ramp shock and diverted outboard and upward as well. The outboard aft portion of the wedge at the sidewall intersection may also induce shocks and divert flow near the walls closer toward the walls and upward, and/or improve flow mixing. |

| ABSTRACT | Corrosion detection systems and methods can include at least one fiber optic cable embedded in a material having at least two layers. Two of the layers can define an interface, and the fiber optic cable can be embedded at the interface. Each fiber optic cable can have a plurality of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG's) formed therein at predetermined intervals. Each FBG can have a preselected geometry that can only allow a predetermined light wavelength to pass therethrough. A light source for inputting light and a photodetector can be connected to opposite exposed ends of the fiber optic cable. As corrosion occurs near an FBG, it experiences mechanical strain, which can further cause a slightly different wavelength to pass through the fiber optic cable. The change in in wavelength can be detected by the photodiode as being indicate of corrosion occurring at the site near the FBG. |

| ABSTRACT | A computer-implemented method optimizes a neural network. One or more processors define layers in a neural network based on neuron locations relative to incoming initial inputs and original outgoing final outputs of the neural network, where a first defined layer is closer to the incoming initial inputs than a second defined layer, and where the second defined layer is closer to the original outgoing final outputs than the first defined layer. The processor(s) define parameter criticalities for parameter weights stored in a memory used by the neural network, and associate defined layers in the neural network with different memory banks based on the parameter criticalities for the parameter weights. The processor(s) store parameter weights used by neurons in the first defined layer in the first memory bank and parameter weights used by neurons in the second defined layer in the second memory bank. |

| ABSTRACT | A device is provided that comprises a first layer deposited onto a second layer. The second layer comprises a lightly doped n-type or p-type semiconductor drift layer, and the first layer comprises a high-k material with a dielectric constant that is at least two times higher than the value of the second layer. A metal Schottky contact is formed on the first layer and a metal ohmic contact is formed on the second layer. Under reverse bias, the dielectric constant discontinuity leads to a very low electric field in the second layer, while the electron barrier created by the first layer stays almost flat. Under forward bias, electrons flow through the first layer, into the metal ohmic contact. For small values of conduction band offset or valence band offset between the first layer and the second layer, the device is expected to support efficient electron or hole transport. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention relates to heterostructures including a layer of a two-dimensional material placed on a multiferroic layer. An ordered array of differing polarization domains in the multiferroic layer produces corresponding domains having differing properties in the two-dimensional material. When the multiferroic layer is ferroelectric, the ferroelectric polarization domains in the layer produce local electric fields that penetrate the two-dimensional material. The local electric fields modulate the charge carriers and carrier density on a nanometer length scale, resulting in the formation of lateral p-n or p-i-n junctions, and variations thereof appropriate for device functions. Methods for producing the heterostructures are provided. Devices incorporating the heterostructures are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | A visibly transparent planar structure using a CPA scheme to boost the absorption of a multi-layer thin-film configuration, requiring no surface patterning, to overcome the intrinsic absorption limitation of the absorbing material. This is achieved in a multi-layer absorbing Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity, namely a thin-film amorphous silicon solar cell. Omni-resonance is achieved across a bandwidth of 80 nm in the near-infrared (NIR), thus increasing the effective absorption of the material, without modifying the material itself, enhancing it beyond its intrinsic absorption over a considerable spectral range. The apparatus achieved an increased external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 90% of the photocurrent generated in the 80 nm NIR region from 660 to 740 nm as compared to a bare solar cell. over the spectral range of interest. |

| ABSTRACT | A rare earth-doped optical fiber comprises a fluorosilicate core surrounded by a silica cladding, where the fluorosilicate core comprises an alkaline-earth fluoro-alumino-silicate glass, such as a strontium fluoro-alumino-silicate glass. The rare earth-doped optical fiber may be useful as a high-power fiber laser and/or fiber amplifier. A method of making a rare earth-doped optical fiber comprises: inserting a powder mixture comprising YbF3, SrF2, and Al2O3 into a silica tube; after inserting the powder mixture, heating the silica tube to a temperature of at least about 2000° C., some or all of the powder mixture undergoing melting; drawing the silica tube to obtain a reduced-diameter fiber; and cooling the reduced-diameter fiber. Thus, a rare earth-doped optical fiber comprising a fluorosilicate core surrounded by a silica cladding is formed. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for noninvasive determination of acoustical properties of flowing in pipes having a large ratio (>10) of pipe diameter to wall thickness, and in highly attenuating fluids are described. When vibrations are excited on the outer surface of the wall of a pipe, the resulting vibrations propagate directly through the wall in a normal direction and through the pipe wall as guided waves, appearing on the opposite side of the pipe. This dual path propagation through pipes, where guided waves take the circumferential path in the wall of the pipe and may interfere with the time of-flight measurement obtained from the direct path through the fluid, is at least in part resolved by subtracting the signal from the guided wave from the combined signal, thereby permitting improved observation of the direct path propagation through the fluid. |

| ABSTRACT | Sub-diffraction limited magneto-optical microscopy, such as Kerr or Faraday effect microscopy, provide many advantages to fields of science and technology for measuring, or imaging, the magnetization structures and magnetization domains of materials. Disclosed is a method and system for performing sub-diffraction limited magneto-optic microscopy. The method includes positioning a microlens or microlens layer relative to a surface of a sample to image the surface of the sample, forming a photonic nanojet to probe the surface of the sample, and receiving light reflected by the surface of the sample or transmitted through the sample at an imaging sensor. The methods and associated systems and devices enable sub-diffraction limited imaging of magnetic domains at resolutions 2 to 8 times the classical diffraction limit. |

| ABSTRACT | Often there are errors when reading data from computer memory. To detect and correct these errors, there are multiple types of error correction codes. Disclosed is an error correction architecture that creates a codeword having a data portion and an error correction code portion. Swizzling rearranges the order of bits and distributes the bits among different codewords. Because the data is redistributed, a potential memory error of up to N contiguous bits, where N for example equals 2 times the number of codewords swizzled together, only affects up to, at most, two bits per swizzled codeword. This keeps the error within the error detecting capabilities of the error correction architecture. Furthermore, this can allow improved error correction and detection without requiring a change to error correcting code generators and checkers. |

| ABSTRACT | A trunk supporting exoskeleton comprises: a supporting trunk; thigh links configured to move in unison with a wearer's thighs; and first and second torque generators located on both left and right halves of the wearer substantially close to the wearer's hip. The torque generators couple the supporting trunk to the thigh links, and generate torque between the thigh links and the supporting trunk. When the wearer bends forward such that a predetermined portion of the supporting trunk passes beyond a predetermined angle from vertical, a torque generator(s) imposes a resisting torque between the supporting trunk and the thigh link(s), causing the supporting trunk to impose a force against the wearer's trunk, and the thigh link(s) to impose a force onto the wearer's thigh. When the predetermined portion does not pass beyond the predetermined angle, the torque generators impose no resisting torques between said supporting trunk and respective thigh links. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for utilizing co-simulation of a physical model and a self-adaptive predictive controller using hybrid automata are described. For example, there is disclosed a self-adaptive predictive control system to generate an initial patient model with initial patient model settings (k1, k2, . . . , kn) and execute a program that takes as input, the initial patient model settings as configuration parameters that specify at least a plurality of initial states. Such a system further receives new patient inputs and generates hybrid automata as a variation of the initial states by applying the new patient inputs to the initial patient model. The system further derives reachable states from the hybrid automata and outputs all reachable states computed. The system further detects changes and responsively generates a new patient predictive model with new parameter settings (k′1, k′2, . . . , k′n), iteratively repeating until a termination criterion is satisfied. Other related embodiments are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of forming high quality metallurgical bonds in a composite casting is provided. The bonding technology includes the step of introducing a liquid material to contact the solid components placed in a mold cavity, applying an external field to generate stifling near the solid/liquid interface to wash off bubbles and oxide particles that prevent the liquid material from reacting to the solid component, and causing progressive solidification from the surfaces of the solid component to the liquid to drive away bubbles in the mushy zone near the bonding region. High quality metallurgical bonds are formed within the composite casting after the liquid solidifies. The resultant large composite casting has minimal defects, such as pores and oxides, at the interfaces between the solidified material and the solid objects. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering. Specifically, the invention relates to the construction of operons to produce biologically active agents. For example, operons may be constructed to produce agents that control the function of biochemical pathway proteins (e.g., protein phosphatases, kinases and/or proteases). Such agents may include inhibitors and modulators that may be used in studying or controlling phosphatase function associated with abnormalities in a phosphatase pathway or expression level. Fusion proteins, such as light activated protein phosphatases, may be genetically encoded and expressed as photoswitchable phosphatases. Systems are provided for use in controlling phosphatase function within living cells or in identifying small molecule inhibitors/activator/modulator molecules of protein phosphatases associated with cell signaling. |

| ABSTRACT | Various examples are provided related to power side-channel vulnerability assessment. In one example, a method includes identifying target registers in an IC design; generating input patterns associated with a target function that can generate a power difference in the target registers when processing the target function; determining a side-channel vulnerability (SCV) metric using the power difference produced by the input patterns; and identifying a vulnerability in the IC design using the SCV metric. Identification of the vulnerability allows for modification of the IC design at an early stage, which can avoid power side-channel attacks (e.g., DPA and CPA) in the fabricated IC design. The method can be used for pre-silicon power side-channel leakage assessment of IC designs such as, e.g., cryptographic and non-cryptographic circuits. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of forming high quality metallurgical bonds in a composite casting is provided. The bonding technology includes the step of introducing a liquid material to contact the solid components placed in a mold cavity, applying an external field to generate stifling near the solid/liquid interface to wash off bubbles and oxide particles that prevent the liquid material from reacting to the solid component, and causing progressive solidification from the surfaces of the solid component to the liquid to drive away bubbles in the mushy zone near the bonding region. High quality metallurgical bonds are formed within the composite casting after the liquid solidifies. The resultant large composite casting has minimal defects, such as pores and oxides, at the interfaces between the solidified material and the solid objects. |

| ABSTRACT | A processor coupled to a first communication device produces and transmits a first encoded vector and a second encoded vector to a second communication device via a communication channel that applies a channel transformation to the encoded vectors during transmission. A processor coupled to the second communication device receives the transformed signals, constructs a matrix based on the transformed signals, detects an effective channel thereof, and identifies left and right singular vectors of the effective channel. A precoding matrix is selected from a codebook of unitary matrices based on a message, and a second encoded vector is produced based on a second known vector, the precoding matrix, a complex conjugate of the left singular vectors, and the right singular vectors. A first symbol of the second encoded vector and a second symbol of the second encoded vector are sent to the first communication device for identification of the message. |

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, October 18, 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.
