| ABSTRACT | Coccidioidomycosis is most often diagnosed serologically and the quantitative complement-fixing antibody test (CF) is considered prognostically useful. Because CF is complex, labor-intensive, and poorly standardized, an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) alternative would be attractive. The present invention features an antibody-binding domain that is restricted to a 200 amino acid recombinant peptide of the known antigen responsible for CF activity. Overlapping truncations of this peptide do not bind CF antibodies, suggesting that the responsible epitope(s) are conformational. Further, anchoring the antigenic peptide to the ELISA plate by means of a C-terminal tag instead of allowing the peptide to randomly adhere to the plastic plate improves sensitivity of antibody detection by one to two logs in different sera. The newly developed ELISA shows a significant quantitative correlation with CF. This ELISA shows potential as the basis for a new quantitative assay for coccidioidal antibodies. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus, method, and system are disclosed for improving uniformity of RF magnetic field in an MRI system, and thereby improving both signal-to-noise ratio and uniformity of imaging sensitivity across a sampling volume, to provide more uniform MRI images. A passive LC resonator develops induced EMF and induced currents in a primary RF magnetic field; the secondary magnetic field produced thereby can counteract magnetic field amplitude gradients to produce a more homogeneous RF magnetic field. In systems with separate transmit and receive coils, a shunt detuning circuit is pulsed ON to prevent interference during the transmit period. In a dual-frequency MRI machine (e.g. 19F and 1H), the RF magnetic field at the lower operating frequency can be homogenized by tuning the resonance of the passive resonator between the two operating frequencies. Another resonator can improve RF field uniformity at the higher operating frequency. Variants and experimental results are disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of producing composites of micro-engineered, coated particulates embedded in a matrix of metal, ceramic powders, or combinations thereof, capable of being tailored to exhibit application-specific desired thermal, physical and mechanical properties, such as High Altitude Exo-atmospheric Nuclear Standard (HAENS) I, II or III radiation protection, to form substitute materials for nickel, titanium, rhenium, magnesium, aluminum, graphite epoxy, and beryllium. The particulates are solid and/or hollow and may be coated with one or more layers of deposited materials before being combined within a substrate of powder metal, ceramic or some combination thereof which also may be coated. The combined micro-engineered nano design powder is consolidated using novel solid-state processes that prevent melting of the matrix and which involve the application of varying pressures to control the formation of the microstructure and resultant mechanical properties. |

| ABSTRACT | Polypeptides that fold into biologies are stabilized by diselenide bonds between selenocysteine amino acids. Methods to produce such polypeptides in genomically recoded organisms (GRO) can be scaled up for industrial production. Since diselenides have the same geometric bond angles and torsions as disulfides, as well as very similar bond lengths, they can be substituted into polypeptides without disrupting the three dimensional structure of the polypeptides. Diselenides render the polypeptides resistant to reduction when they are exposed to blood serum or to reducing components of blood serum or to reducing components components within cells. |

| ABSTRACT | A gas turbine engine component comprises a body having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a radial span. One internal channel in the body provides an upstream supply pressure. Another internal channel in body receives the upstream supply pressure and provides a downstream supply pressure. At least one axial rib separates an internal area adjacent to the trailing edge into a plurality of individual cavities. At least one pressure regulating feature is located at an entrance to at least one individual cavity entrance to control downstream supply pressure to the trailing edge. Exits formed in the trailing edge communicate with an exit pressure. The rib and pressure regulating features cooperate such that the downstream supply pressure mimics the exit pressure along the radial span. |

| ABSTRACT | The accelerometers disclosed herein provide excellent sensitivity, long-term stability, and low SWaP-C through a combination of photonic integrated circuit technology with standard micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Examples of these accelerometers use optical transduction to improve the scale factor of traditional MEMS resonant accelerometers by accurately measuring the resonant frequencies of very small (e.g., about 1 μm) tethers attached to a large (e.g., about 1 mm) proof mass. Some examples use ring resonators to measure the tether frequencies and some other examples use linear resonators to measure the tether frequencies. Potential commercial applications span a wide range from seismic measurement systems to automotive stability controls to inertial guidance to any other application where chip-scale accelerometers are currently deployed. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for three-dimensional (3-D) imaging enabled by natural range-dependent processes. Multiple lasers are configured to independently flash illuminate a target object to 3-D image a resultant “scene” onto a focal plane array (FPA). The first laser produces a wavelength non-resonant with an atmospheric absorption line along the illumination path. The second laser produces a wavelength resonant with the atmospheric absorption line, and closely spaced with the non-resonant wavelength. A ratio of the respective intensities recorded at the FPA for the two wavelengths calculates a range to the target object. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for continuously predicting and adapting optimal strategies for attacker elicitation. The system includes a global bot controlling processor unit and one or more local bot controlling processor units. The global bot controlling processor unit includes a multi-layer network software unit for extracting attacker features from diverse, out-of-band (OOB) media sources. The global controlling processing unit further includes an adaptive behavioral game theory (GT) software unit for determining a best strategy for eliciting identifying information from an attacker. Each local bot controlling processor unit includes a cognitive model (CM) software unit for estimating a cognitive state of the attacker and predicting attacker behavior. A generative adversarial network (GAN) software unit predicts the attacker's strategies. The global bot controlling processor unit and the one or more local bot controlling processor units coordinate to predict the attacker's next action and use the prediction to disrupt an attack. |

| ABSTRACT | Techniques are disclosed for training machine learning systems. An input device receives training data comprising pairs of training inputs and training labels. A generative memory assigns training inputs to each archetype task of a plurality of archetype tasks, each archetype task representative of a cluster of related tasks within a task space and assigns a skill to each archetype task. The generative memory generates, from each archetype task, auxiliary data comprising pairs of auxiliary inputs and auxiliary labels. A machine learning system trains a machine learning model to apply a skill assigned to an archetype task to training and auxiliary inputs assigned to the archetype task to obtain output labels corresponding to the training and auxiliary labels associated with the training and auxiliary inputs assigned to the archetype task to enable scalable learning to obtain labels for new tasks for which the machine learning model has not previously been trained. |

| ABSTRACT | In general, the disclosure describes techniques for creating runtime-throttleable neural networks (TNNs) that can adaptively balance performance and resource use in response to a control signal. For example, runtime-TNNs may be trained to be throttled via a gating scheme in which a set of disjoint components of the neural network can be individually “turned off” at runtime without significantly affecting the accuracy of NN inferences. A separate gating neural network may be trained to determine which trained components of the NN to turn off to obtain operable performance for a given level of resource use of computational, power, or other resources by the neural network. This level can then be specified by the control signal at runtime to adapt the NN to operate at the specified level and in this way balance performance and resource use for different operating conditions. |

| ABSTRACT | Flexible transistors and electronic circuits incorporating the transistors are provided. The flexible transistors promote heat dissipation from the active regions of the transistors while preserving their mechanical flexibility and high-frequency performance. The transistor designs utilize thru-substrate vias (TSVs) beneath the active regions of thin-film type transistors on thin flexible substrates. To promote rapid heat dissipation, the TSVs are coated with a material having a high thermal conductivity that transfers heat from the active region of the transistor to a large-area ground. |

| ABSTRACT | When the ultra-low power mm-scale sensor node does not have a crystal oscillator and phase-lock loop, it inevitably exhibits significant carrier frequency offset (CFO) and sampling frequency offset (SFO) with respect to the reference frequencies in the gateway. This disclosure enables efficient real-time calculation of accurate SFO and CFO at the gateway, thus the ultra-low power mm-scale sensor node can be realized without a costly and bulky clock reference crystal and also power-hungry phase lock loop. In the proposed system, the crystal-less sensor starts transmission with repetitive RF pulses with a constant interval, followed by the data payload using pulse-position modulation (PPM). A proposed algorithm uses a two-dimensional (2D) fast Fourier transform (FFT) based process that identifies the SFO and CFO at the same time to establish successful wireless communication between the gateway and crystal-less sensor nodes. |

| ABSTRACT | Method and systems provide a tool to quantify sensory maps of the brain. Cortical surfaces are conformally mapped to a topological disk where local geometry structures are well preserved. Retinotopy data are smoothed on the disk domain to generate a curve that best fits the retinotopy data and eliminates noisy outliers. A Beltrami coefficient map is obtained, which provides an intrinsic conformality measure that is sensitive to local changes on the surface of interest. The Beltrami coefficient map represents a function where the input domain is locations in the visual field and the output is a complex distortion measure at these locations. This function is also invertible. Given the boundaries and the Beltrami map of a flattened cortical region, a corresponding visual field can be reconstructed. The Beltrami coefficient map allows visualization and comparison of retinotopic map properties across subjects in the common visual field space. |

| ABSTRACT | A nucleophilic substitution reaction to crosslink cyclodextrin (CD) polymer with rigid aromatic groups, providing a high surface area, mesoporous CD-containing polymers (P-CDPs). The P-CDPs can be used for removing organic contaminants from water. By encapsulating pollutants to form well-defined host-guest complexes with complementary selectivities to activated carbon (AC) sorbents. The P-CDPs can rapidly sequester pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other organic micropollutants, achieving equilibrium binding capacity in seconds with adsorption rate constants 15-200 times greater than ACs and nonporous CD sorbents. The CD polymer can be regenerated several times, through a room temperature washing procedure, with no loss in performance. |

| ABSTRACT | Today, product developers with customized small batch production needs come across the problem of finding capable and flexible manufacturers, while manufacturers face underutilization due to inconsistent demand. In this disclosure, a digital manufacturing framework is presented to address the challenge of matching the underutilized manufacturers with the new product developers. This disclosure presents a Production as a Service (PaaS) framework to connect users (consumers or product developers) who have customized small batch manufacturing needs, with manufacturers that have existing underutilized resources. PaaS is a cloud-based, centralized framework based on a service oriented architecture (SOA) that abstracts the manufacturing steps of a product as individual (production) service requests. PaaS creates a market place for small-to-mid sized manufacturing industry by coordinating multiple manufacturers to provide the requested services. Using PaaS, the user is able to reach many capable manufacturers at once, and receive quotations for the production request. On the other end, PaaS reduces the effort required to find new customers and enables manufacturers to easily submit quotations to increase the utilization of their resources. |

| ABSTRACT | Zinc oxide-based sorbents, and processes for preparing and using them are provided, wherein the sorbents are preferably used to remove one or more reduced sulfur species from gas streams. The sorbents contain an active zinc component, optionally in combination with one or more promoter components and/or one or more substantially inert components. The active zinc component is a two-phase material, consisting essentially of a zinc oxide (ZnO) phase and a zinc aluminate (ZnAl2O4) phase. Each of the two phases is characterized by a relatively small crystallite size of typically less than about 50 nm (500 Angstroms). Preferably the sorbents are prepared by using an alkali metal base to convert a precursor mixture, containing a precipitated zinc oxide precursor and a precipitated aluminum oxide precursor, to the two-phase, active zinc oxide containing component, with the resulting sorbent having a sodium level within a desired range. |

| ABSTRACT | In a metal fiber composite (MFC) additive manufacturing (AM) method, a layer of polymer structures is deposited using a fused filament fabrication (FFF) printer assembly comprising at least one nozzle. Subsequently, an MFC printer assembly is used to embed a continuous metal fiber into one or more of the polymer structures of the layer. The embedding is achieved by heating the metal fiber and applying pressure to the metal fiber using an embedding surface of the MFC printer assembly. The heated metal fiber melts polymer adjacent thereto, thereby allowing the pressure to embed the metal fiber into the polymer structure. Using the MFC-AM method, various composite structures can be formed, such as novel heat exchangers that may otherwise be difficult or impossible to fabricate via other manufacturing techniques. |

| ABSTRACT | A fuel for an internal combustion engine includes a C5 to C30 dialkoxyalkanoate corresponding to formula (I): wherein the R1 group is —H or a —CH3 group, the R2 and R2′ groups are alkyl groups independently selected to have 1 to 9 carbon atoms; and the R3 group is selected to have 1 to 9 carbon atoms. The compounds described herein may be used as neat fuels or mixed fuels (with diesel, biodiesel, jet fuel, marine fuel or other fuel compounds) in autoignition or spark ignition engines, such as diesel engines, gasoline (spark ignition) engines, MCCI, Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines, or more generally in Low-Temperature Gasoline Combustion (LTGC) engines (using gasoline-like fuels), that have the high-efficiency advantages of HCCI but can operate with some level of charge inhomogeneities. Methods of making these compounds are environmentally friendly and can be done in a continuous manner. |

| ABSTRACT | A header for a high-pressure heat exchanger includes a first high-pressure transition section with inlets for multiple first high-pressure flow channels that are spaced from one another in a radial direction and collectively arranged in a substantially circular shape. The inlets for the multiple first high-pressure flow channels on a radially outer edge of the first high-pressure transition section are spaced further apart in a circumferential direction from adjacent inlets of the multiple first high-pressure flow channels than radially inward inlets are spaced from adjacent radially inward inlets of the multiple first high-pressure flow channels. The header also includes multiple first high-pressure flow channels extending from the first high-pressure transition section to a second-high pressure transition section that is configured to divide each of the multiple first high-pressure flow channels into at least two first high-pressure sub-flow channels. Each flow channel of the multiple first high-pressure flow channels and each sub-flow channel of the first high-pressure sub-flow channels have a round cross-sectional shape. |

| ABSTRACT | Reduction or elimination of negative consequences of reflected stray light from lens surfaces is achieved by propagating a laser beam through an eccentric pupil that excludes the optical axis of the system, which is rotationally symmetric. In such systems, stray light reflections eventually are focused onto the unique optical axis of the system, in either a real or virtual focal region. By using an eccentric pupil, all damage due to focusing of the stray light lies outside of the beam. These focal regions can, e.g., be physically blocked to eliminate beam paths that lead to optical damage, re-pulse beams and parasitic lasing. |

| ABSTRACT | Memory management circuitry and processes operate to improve reliability of a group of memory stacks, providing that if a memory stack or a portion thereof fails during the product's lifetime, the system may still recover with no errors or data loss. A front-end controller receives a block of data requested to be written to memory, divides the block into sub-blocks, and creates a new redundant reliability sub-block. The sub-blocks are then written to different memory stacks. When reading data from the memory stacks, the front-end controller detects errors indicating a failure within one of the memory stacks, and recovers corrected data using the reliability sub-block. The front-end controller may monitor errors for signs of a stack failure and disable the failed stack. |

| ABSTRACT | An array circuit includes a plurality of vector-matrix multiplication (VMM) elements arranged in rows and columns. The VMM elements are configured to collectively perform multiplication of an input vector by a programmed input matrix to generate a plurality of output values that are representative of a result matrix that is the result of multiplication of the input vector and the input matrix. The VMM elements store states of the input matrix. Input voltages to the array are representative of elements of the input vector. A VMM element draws charge from a column read line based upon charging of a capacitor in the VMM. An integrator circuit connected to the column read line outputs a voltage that is indicative of a total charge drawn from the column read line by elements connected to the read line, which voltage is further indicative of an element of a result matrix. |

| ABSTRACT | A system determines an event location of an event within an indoor environment based on an event sound generated by the event. The system employs time-reversal techniques based on a received event sound to identify the event location as being in the vicinity of one of a plurality of locator devices at locator locations in the environment. The system includes a base array located within the environment that receives an indication that an event has been detected. Upon receiving the event sound, the system generates a time-reversed event sound for each transceiver and transmits via each transceiver the time-reversed event sound for that transceiver. When a locator device receives a time-reversed event sound, the locator device determines whether the event is in the vicinity of that locator location of the locator device and, if so, outputs an indication that the event occurred at that locator location. |

| ABSTRACT | A direct high voltage flow-through water heater system transmits high voltage power to a remote ice penetrating robot, converts the power to heat in a very small space, and then uses the heat to melt the ice, providing a path ahead of the robot allowing penetration deeper into a remote ice-covered location, such ice of substantial (e.g., kilometers) thickness, such as, for example, glacial ice caps. High voltage, low current, AC power is passed through a moving conducting fluid, inducing resistive heating in the fluid with 100% efficiency. The exiting fluid is stripped of common mode voltage before exiting. Energy transfer from the electrical source to the fluid is instantaneous and occurs at 100% efficiency. In an alternative embodiment, the fluid heater system operates at standard residential/industrial mains voltages and runs from 220 VAC as other applications of the present invention include the traditional water heater industry as well. |

| ABSTRACT | Conventional filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) wireless communication systems offer superior spectral properties compared to the cyclic-prefix orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) approach, at the cost of an inherent shortcoming in dispersive channels called intrinsic imaginary interference. In this disclosure the DP-FBMC system was disclosed. A DP-FBMC based communication system uses two orthogonal polarizations for wireless communication systems: dual-polarization FBMC (DP-FBMC). The system significantly suppresses FBMC intrinsic interference. For the disclosed DP-FBMC all the multicarrier techniques used in CP-OFDM systems for channel equalization etc., are applicable without using complex processing methods that are required for conventional FBMC. Disclosed DP-FBMC also is more robust in multipath fading channels, and also to receiver carrier frequency offset (CFO) and Timing offset (TO). In the disclosed DP-FBMC system, three different structures may be used based on different multiplexing techniques. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of producing composites of micro-engineered, coated particulates embedded in a matrix of metal, ceramic powders, or combinations thereof, capable of being tailored to exhibit application-specific desired thermal, physical and mechanical properties, such as High Altitude Exo-atmospheric Nuclear Standard (HAENS) I, II or III radiation protection, to form substitute materials for nickel, titanium, rhenium, magnesium, aluminum, graphite epoxy, and beryllium. The particulates are solid and/or hollow and may be coated with one or more layers of deposited materials before being combined within a substrate of powder metal, ceramic or some combination thereof which also may be coated. The combined micro-engineered nano design powder is consolidated using novel solid-state processes that prevent melting of the matrix and which involve the application of varying pressures to control the formation of the microstructure and resultant mechanical properties. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein is a beads-free bioprocessor as an automated and cost-effective T cell processing and manufacturing platform. T cells are a core component in CAR T cell therapies for cancer treatment, but are difficult to manufacture to scale in clinically relevant quantities. The 3D bioprocessor provides an alternative device that is scalable, beads-free, easy-to-use, and cost-effective for using CAR T cell therapy in cancer immunotherapy. Besides CAR T cell application, this platform technology has potential for many other applications such as cancer cell isolation. |

| ABSTRACT | Flexible transistors and electronic circuits incorporating the transistors are provided. The flexible transistors promote heat dissipation from the active regions of the transistors while preserving their mechanical flexibility and high-frequency performance. The transistor designs utilize thru-substrate vias (TSVs) beneath the active regions of thin-film type transistors on thin flexible substrates. To promote rapid heat dissipation, the TSVs are coated with a material having a high thermal conductivity that transfers heat from the active region of the transistor to a large-area ground. |

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, November 08, 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:
