| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to an alternative geometric calibration method based on a calibration phantom with multiple line-shaped markers. The markers can in some embodiments take the form of radio-opaque wires. Line fiducials overcome the occlusion hazards of spherical fiducials, because their projections overlap very mildly as long as the wires are mutually non-coplanar in 3D. This makes the phantom amenable to a wider range of orbits and less sensitive to phantom positioning. Equations relating the pose of 3D line-shaped objects to their 2D radiographic projections are then used as the basis for view-by-view geometry estimation. The technique can flexibly accommodate a wide range of different CT scan trajectories, including strongly noncircular trajectories known to provide better image quality than standard circular scans. |

| ABSTRACT | Supramolecular particle compositions based on medicinal natural products (MNPs), their synthetic analogs and derivatives, and methods to prepare and use them are provided. Five classes of MNPs and their derivatives including diterpene resin acid, phytosterol, lupane-type pentacyclic triterpene, oleanane-type pentacyclic triterpene, and lanostane-type triterpene form functional nano- or micro-structures that are stable to strong acidic environment and effectively penetrate the gastrointestinal tract. Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic agents that generally have poor intestinal permeability are converted to bioavailable forms when delivered with these supramolecular particles. Among many others, small compound chemotherapeutic agents and peptide therapeutics encapsulated therein have a much greater plasma concentration following oral administration, and effectively controls and treat symptoms associated with tumors or diabetes. |

| ABSTRACT | A process for chemically recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which utilizes a microwave absorber to optimize glycolytic depolymerization of PET via microwave irradiation. The method of chemically degrading PET to its reactive intermediate, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), is carried out by: (a) combining PET with ethylene glycol and a catalytic system comprising a catalyst and a microwave absorber to produce a heterogeneous reaction mixture; and then (b) heating by microwave irradiating the reaction mixture to a temperature sufficient to produce a reaction product comprising BHET. The BHET monomer then can be purified and re-polymerized to form new, virgin PET. |

| ABSTRACT | A cellular support system comprises a three-dimensional scaffold structure comprising at least one void. At least one suspended protein bridge spans across the at least one void in the three-dimensional scaffold structure. The suspended protein bridge is capable of supporting cells and promotes three-dimensional cellular growth. In certain aspects, the protein in the suspended protein bridge is an extracellular matrix protein, such as collagens, laminins, fibronectins, and combinations thereof. Such a cellular support system supports thriving cell cultures in three-dimensions emulating cell growth in vivo in an extracellular matrix, including promoting cell remodeling. Methods for making such cellular support systems are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects of the disclosure relate to a gene therapy approach for diseases, disorders, or conditions caused by mutation in the stop codon utilizing modified tRNA. At least 10-15% of all genetic diseases, including muscular dystrophy (e.g. Duchene muscular dystrophy), some cancers, beta thalassemia, Hurler syndrome, and cystic fibrosis, fall into this category. Not to be bound by theory, it is believed that this approach is safer than CRISPR approaches due to minimal off-target effects and the lack of genome level changes. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides for single-molecule profiling of combinatorial protein modifications and single-molecule profiling of combinatorial protein modifications combined with single-molecule sequencing of protein/nucleic acids complexes. High-throughput single-molecule imaging was applied to decode combinatorial modifications on millions of individual nucleosomes from pluripotent stem cells and lineage-committed cells. Applicants identified bivalent nucleosomes with concomitant repressive and activating marks, as well as other combinatorial modification states whose prevalence varies with developmental potency. Applying genetic and chemical perturbations of chromatin enzymes show a preferential affect on nucleosomes harboring specific modification states. The present invention also combines this proteomic platform with single-molecule DNA sequencing technology to simultaneously determine the modification states and genomic positions of individual nucleosomes. This novel single-molecule technology can be used to address fundamental questions in chromatin biology and epigenetic regulation leading to novel therapeutics and diagnostics. |

In some embodiments, highly accurate, error corrected and massively parallel sequencing of nucleic acid material is possible using a combination of uniquely labeled strands in a double-stranded nucleic acid complex in such a way that each strand can be informatically related to its complementary strand, but also distinguished from it following sequencing of each strand or an amplified product derived therefrom. In various embodiments, this information can be used for the purpose of error correction of the determined sequence. |

| ABSTRACT | The state of protein phosphorylation and glycosylation can be key determinants of cellular physiology such as early stage cancer, but the development of phosphoproteins and/or glycoproteins in biofluids for disease diagnosis remains elusive. Here we demonstrate, for the first time, a strategy to isolate and identify phosphoproteins/glycoproteins in extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human plasma as potential markers to differentiate disease from healthy states. We identified close to 10,000 unique phosphopeptides in EVs by isolating from small volume of plasma samples. Using label-free quantitative phosphoproteomics, we identified 144 phosphoproteins in plasma EVs that are significantly higher in patients diagnosed with breast cancer than in healthy controls. Several novel biomarkers were validated in individual patients using Paralleled Reaction Monitoring for targeted quantitation. Similarly a group of glycoproteins in plasma EVs are identified. The study demonstrated that the development of phosphoproteins and/or glycoproteins in plasma EV as disease biomarkers is highly feasible and may transform cancer screening and monitoring. |

| ABSTRACT | A risk-based patient monitoring system for critical care patients combines data from multiple sources to assess the current and the future risks to the patient, thereby enabling providers to review a current patient risk profile and to continuously track a clinical trajectory. A physiology observer module in the system utilizes multiple measurements to estimate Probability Density Functions (PDF) of a number of Internal State Variables (ISVs) that describe a components of the physiology relevant to the patient treatment and condition. A clinical trajectory interpreter module in the system utilizes the estimated PDFs of ISVs to identify under which probable patient states the patient can be currently categorized and assign a probability value that the patient will be in each of the identified states. The combination of patient states and their probabilities is defined as the clinical risk to the patient. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system for optical vortex transmissometry. The method uses optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) and optical vortices to discriminate coherent non-scattered light from incoherent scattered light. The system includes a laser which transmits a Gaussian laser beam through a medium. An OAM generating device is placed before a photodetector receiver. Coherent, non-scattered light passing through the OAM generating device forms an optical vortex, used to discriminate against the unwanted scattered signal that does not form a vortex. Alternatively, the system includes a transmitter, which generates one or more OAM modes, which are transmitted through a turbid medium. At the receiver, an OAM detection device analyzes the OAM mode spectrum of the received light. Coherent non-scattered light retains the OAM encoded at the transmitter, while scattered light does not. The attenuation of the channel is determined by comparison of the received OAM mode spectrum relative to the transmitted OAM mode spectrum. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and apparatuses for downconverting are provided. A dual-drive mach zehnder modulator (DDMZM) receives: a continuous wavelength optical signal, an input signal (microwave signal), and local oscillator tones. The DDMZM includes: first and second arms formed from optical waveguides which receive the optical signal, a first modulator that receives the input signal, and a second modulator that receives the oscillator tones. The input signal is modulated onto the optical signal propagating through the first arm to form a first modulated optical signal. The oscillator tones and third-order intermodulation products of those tones are modulated onto the optical signal propagating through the second arm to form a second modulated optical signal. The modulated optical signals are combined to form an output optical signal. The oscillator tones are spaced two folded bandwidths apart and centered within a spectrum of interest of the input signal. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for checking security vulnerabilities for automation system design includes a security database, an Internet crawler application, and security service application. The security database stores descriptions of known software vulnerabilities related to an automation system. The Internet crawler application is configured to systematically browse the Internet to find new software vulnerabilities related to the automation system and index the new software vulnerability into the security database. The security service application retrieves, from the security database, potential software vulnerabilities related to a hardware/software configuration of the automation system. The security service application also identifies policies related to the potential vulnerabilities. Each policy describes a potential vulnerability and action to be performed in response to detection of the potential vulnerabilities. The security service applies the policies to the hardware/software configuration and software code corresponding to an automation application to identify actual vulnerabilities that can be displayed to a user. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments herein describe placing a filter network at one of the inputs of the comparator to avoid injecting unequal amounts of kickback noise into the inputs of the comparator. In one embodiment, the filter network matches the impedance seen at the inputs of the comparator. As a result, the amount of kickback noise is essentially equal at the inputs even though the input signals may be at different frequencies. Thus, the kickback noise is essentially cancelled out so that this noise has little to no impact on the output of the comparator. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments provide a system and method for reasoning about the optimality of a configuration parameter of a distributed system. During operation, the system obtains a multi-layer graph for a system with a plurality of components, wherein the multi-layer graph comprises a configuration subgraph, a vulnerability subgraph, and a dependency subgraph. The system determines, based on the multi-layer graph, constraint relationships associated with configuration parameters for the components, wherein the constraint relationships include security constraints and functionality constraints. The system computes an unsatisfiable core which comprises a set of mutually incompatible constraints. The system resolves, based on a strategy and over multiple iterations, the unsatisfiable core by analyzing one pair of mutually incompatible constraints per a respective iteration, to obtain a new unsatisfiable core which comprises a smaller number of mutually incompatible constraints than the computed unsatisfiable core or a previously computed unsatisfiable core from a most recent iteration. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system for membrane-assisted production of high purity concentrated dimethyl carbonate by the reaction of carbon dioxide and methanol is provided. Carbon dioxide is recovered from flue gas or other dilute streams from industrial processes by a membrane and subsequent conversion takes place to an intermediate methyl carbamate by reacting of carbon dioxide with ammonia and methanol. For high-purity carbon dioxide obtained by one of the carbon capture technologies or by a process (such as, for example, ethanol fermentation process) the membrane reactor is replaced with a catalytic reactor for direct conversion of carbon dioxide to methyl carbamate by reacting with ammonia and methanol. The methyl carbamate is further reacted with methanol for conversion to dimethyl carbonate. An integrated reactive distillation process using side reactors is used for facilitating the catalytic reaction in the subject method for producing high purity dimethyl carbonate. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for representing internal defects of an object to determine defect detectability using a multi-scan computed tomography (CT) approach are disclosed. A defect-free object may be scanned using a CT machine. In one or more separate scans, phantom defects may be imaged and the resulting projections combined and reconstructed to represent internal defects. The air-normalized intensities of the object and the phantom defect may be used to represent voids and inclusions. Subtraction of materials may be represented by the quotient of the air-normalized intensities thereof, and the addition of materials may be represented by the product of the air-normalized intensities thereof. A void may be represented by subtracting a phantom defect scan from the object scan. An inclusion may be represented by creating a void, scanning an additional phantom defect, and adding the additional phantom defect in the volume created by the void. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques for executing an atomic command in a distributed computing network are provided. A core cluster, including a plurality of processing cores that do not natively issue atomic commands to the distributed computing network, is coupled to a translation unit. To issue an atomic command, a core requests a location in the translation unit to write an opcode and operands for the atomic command. The translation unit identifies a location (a “window”) that is not in use by another atomic command and indicates the location to the processing core. The processing core writes the opcode and operands into the window and indicates to the translation unit that the atomic command is ready. The translation generates an atomic command and issues the command to the distributed computing network for execution. After execution, the distributed computing network provides a response to the translation unit, which provides that response to the core. |

| ABSTRACT | A monolithically integrated, tunable infrared pixel comprises a combined broadband detector and graphene-enabled tunable metasurface filter that operate as a single solid-state device with no moving parts. Functionally, tunability results from the plasmonic properties of graphene that are acutely dependent upon the carrier concentration within the infrared. Voltage induced changes in graphene's carrier concentration can be leveraged to change the metasurface filter's transmission thereby altering the “colors” of light reaching the broadband detector and hence its spectral responsivity. The invention enables spectrally agile infrared detection with independent pixel-to-pixel spectral tunability. |

| ABSTRACT | A metal stack for templating the growth of AlN and ScAlN films is disclosed. The metal stack comprises one, two, or three layers of metal, each of which is compatible with CMOS post-processing. The metal stack provides a template that promotes the growth of highly textured c-axis {002} AlN and ScAlN films. The metal stacks include one or more metal layers with each metal layer having either a hexagonal {002} orientation or a cubic {111} orientation. If the metal stack includes two or more metal layers, the layers can alternate between hexagonal {002} and cubic {111} orientations. The use of ScAlN results in a higher piezoelectric constant compared to that of AlN for ScAlN alloys up to approximately 44% Sc. The disclosed metal stacks resulted in ScAlN films having XRD FWHM values of less than approximately 1.1° while significantly reducing the formation of secondary grains in the ScAlN films. |

| ABSTRACT | An anode includes a mixed ionic-electronic conductor (MIEC) with an open pore structure. The open pore structure includes open pores to facilitate motion of an alkali metal into and/or out of the MIEC. The open pore structure thus provides open space to relieve the stresses generated by the alkali metal when charging/discharging a battery. The MIEC is formed from a material that is thermodynamically and electrochemically stable against the alkali metal to prevent the formation of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) debris and the formation of dead alkali metal. The MIEC may also be passive (the MIEC does not store or release alkali metal). In one example, the open pore structure may be an array of substantially aligned tubules with a width less than about 300 nm, a wall thickness between about 1 nm to about 30 nm, and a height of at least 10 um arranged as a honeycomb. |

| ABSTRACT | A continuous wave (CW) electron accelerator for the treatment of industrial streams including an electron beam source, a modified high efficiency slot coupled cavity, at least one focusing magnet positioned surrounding the accelerator to contain the beam in the accelerator, an efficient radio frequency power supply means for supplying power of a radio frequency to the cavity to induce a TM01 accelerating mode in the cavity, an electron beam spreader or raster, a fixed magnet array or two-dimensional scanning magnet for deflecting the accelerated beam into a desired shape, and an exit window for extracting the deflected electron beam. The accelerator includes a graded-beta cavity to enable use with a low-power pulsed electron source. The accelerator benefits from a low wall-power loss accelerating cavity that is energized with efficient RF sources, enabling it to be operated in continuous wave mode. |

| ABSTRACT | The state of protein phosphorylation and glycosylation can be key determinants of cellular physiology such as early stage cancer, but the development of phosphoproteins and/or glycoproteins in biofluids for disease diagnosis remains elusive. Here we demonstrate, for the first time, a strategy to isolate and identify phosphoproteins/glycoproteins in extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human plasma as potential markers to differentiate disease from healthy states. We identified close to 10,000 unique phosphopeptides in EVs by isolating from small volume of plasma samples. Using label-free quantitative phosphoproteomics, we identified 144 phosphoproteins in plasma EVs that are significantly higher in patients diagnosed with breast cancer than in healthy controls. Several novel biomarkers were validated in individual patients using Paralleled Reaction Monitoring for targeted quantitation. Similarly a group of glycoproteins in plasma EVs are identified. The study demonstrated that the development of phosphoproteins and/or glycoproteins in plasma EV as disease biomarkers is highly feasible and may transform cancer screening and monitoring. |

| ABSTRACT | A phenyleneethynylene macrocycle (PEMC) is constructed that is a cyclic or polycyclic oligo (oligophenyleneethynylene-co-polyamine) where a monodispersed oligophenyleneethynylene is coupled with a polyamine. The PEMC is formed by coupling a monodispersed di-aldehyde end-capped oligophenyleneethynylene with a polyamine to form a macrocyclic imine and reducing the imine to an amine. The PEMC is useful at entering living cells for the fluorescence imaging of the living cells without toxicity to the cells. |

| ABSTRACT | An anode includes a mixed ionic-electronic conductor (MIEC) with an open pore structure. The open pore structure includes open pores to facilitate motion of an alkali metal into and/or out of the MIEC. The open pore structure thus provides open space to relieve the stresses generated by the alkali metal when charging/discharging a battery. The MIEC is formed from a material that is thermodynamically and electrochemically stable against the alkali metal to prevent the formation of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) debris and the formation of dead alkali metal. The MIEC may also be passive (the MIEC does not store or release alkali metal). In one example, the open pore structure may be an array of substantially aligned tubules with a width less than about 300 nm, a wall thickness between about 1 nm to about 30 nm, and a height of at least 10 um arranged as a honeycomb. |

| ABSTRACT | The method of performing dendrometry and forest mapping utilizes a stereoscopic camera system, coupled with a machine vision system, to determine the diameters at breast height of selected trees in a forest, based solely on calculations performed from recorded digital image data, as well as to generate a map showing the coordinates and calculated diameters of the selected trees in the forest. A ground plane is first determined, and then bounding box coordinates are generated about selected tree stems of the recorded images. The bounding boxes are evolved to determine stem edges of the selected tree stems, and the diameter of each tree at breast height is then determined. Geographic location data is acquired for each tree, allowing a map to be generated which shows the location of each selected tree, along with a tag representative of geolocation data and corresponding diameter data. |

| ABSTRACT | A reflective paint's liquid mixture includes 42.4-71.3 weight percent of a liquid solvent, 14.4-28.3 weight percent of a binder fully dissolved in the liquid solvent, and 13.8-29.3 weight percent of light scattering particles that are insoluble in the liquid solvent and are of a size ranging from 100 nanometers to 200 nanometers. The binder is selected from potassium bromide, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium bromide, cesium chloride, and rubidium chloride. The light scattering particles are selected from hafnium oxide and yttrium oxide. The reflective paint is particularly useful as a surface coating for a variety of structures that must support cryogenic temperatures. It can be used in any application to act as a broadband reflector of the Sun's radiation in the wavelength band from approximately 0.21 microns to 9 microns and beyond. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for providing a heaterless hollow cathode for use in electric propulsion devices is presented. According to one aspect the cathode includes a thermionic emitter having a constricted upstream inlet compared to a downstream outlet of the emitter. The emitter is arranged downstream a hollow cathode tube. Constriction of the upstream inlet is provided by an inner cylindrical hollow space at an upstream region of the emitter having a diameter that is smaller compared to a diameter of an inner cylindrical hollow space at a downstream region of the emitter. A hollow transition region having a varying diameter connects the upstream region to the downstream region. According to another aspect, a ratio of the diameters of the two cylindrical hollow spaces reduces penetration of electric field, and therefore of electric discharge, into the upstream region of the emitter during operation. |

| ABSTRACT | We have demonstrated that the bandwidth millimeter wavelengths offer can be leveraged to deeply spread a low-data rate signal below the thermal floor of the environment (sub-thermal) by lowered transmit power combined with free space losses, while still being successfully received through a novel dispreading structure which does not rely on pre-detection to extract timing information. The demonstrated data link ensures that it cannot be detected beyond a designed range from the transmitter, while still providing reliable communication. A demonstration chipset of this sub-thermal concept was implemented in a 28 nm CMOS technology and when combined with an InP receiver was shown to decode signals up to 30 dB below the thermal noise floor by spreading a 9600 bps signal over 1 GHz of RF bandwidth from 93 to 94 GHz using a 64 bit spreading code. The transmitter for this chipset consumed 62 mW while the receiver consumed 281 mw. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and system perform tool tracking during minimally invasive robotic surgery. Tool states are determined. using triangulation techniques or a Bayesian filter from either or both non-endoscopically derived and endoscopically derived tool state information, or from either or both non-visually derived and visually derived tool state information. The non-endoscopically derived tool state information is derived from sensor data provided either by sensors associated with a mechanism for manipulating the tool, or sensors capable of detecting identifiable signals emanating or reflecting from the tool and indicative of its position, of external cameras viewing an end of the tool extending out of the body. The endoscopically derived tool state information is derived from image data provided by an endoscope inserted in the body so as to view the tool. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention described herein is directed to methods and systems for protecting network trace data. Network traces are used for network management, packet classification, traffic engineering, tracking user behavior, identifying user behavior, analyzing network hierarchy, maintaining network security, and classifying packet flows. In some embodiments, network trace data is protected by subjecting network trace data to data anonymization using an anonymization algorithm that simultaneously provides sufficient privacy to accommodate the organization need of the network trace data owner, provides acceptable data utility to accommodate management and/or network investigative needs, and provides efficient data analysis, at the same time. |

How To Use This Page
THE FEDINVENT PATENT DETAILS PAGE
Each week, FedInvent analyzes newly granted patents and published patent applications whose origins lead back to funding by the US Federal Government. The FedInvent Patent Details page is a companion to the weekly FedInvents Patents Report.
This week's information is published in the FedInvent Patents report for Tuesday, October 25, 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:
https://wayfinder.digital/fedinvent/patents-2022/fedinvent-patents-20221025.html
Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
