ABSTRACT The circulation assist devices disclosed herein can be used, for example, in methods of decreasing venous pressure in the Fontan circulation. The devices can include an inlet, an outlet, a stator, a rotor, and an impeller driven by rotation of the rotor. In some embodiments, the impeller blade (or blades) can at least partially define a central lumen extending through the device. The device can be coupled to the inferior vena cava and the pulmonary artery. Rotating the impeller blade(s) increases blood velocity through the lumen and causes the outlet pressure to be higher than the inlet pressure. The impeller can be configured such that, when it is stationary, the forward static pressure drop between the inlet and the outlet is minimized. That is, the forward static pressure drop of the device approximates the pressure drop between the inferior vena cava and central pulmonary artery of the unassisted Fontan circulation.

ABSTRACT Two major treatment strategies employed in fighting non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The choice of strategy is based on heterogeneous biomarkers expressed by the lung tumor tissue. A major challenge for molecular testing of these biomarkers is the insufficiency of biopsy specimens from patients with advanced NSCLC. Disclosed herein is a method for predicting a response to immune-checkpoint blockade immunotherapy. The method generally involves imaging the subject with positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18] fluoro-D-glucose integrated with computed tomography to produce 18F-FDG PET/CT images of the tumor, analyzing the images using PET, CT, and Kulbek Leibler Divergence statistical (KLD) features or, alternatively using deep leaning such as Neural Networks; generating a radiomic signature from the identified features or Network characteristics; and computing a radiomic score based on the radiomic signature that is predictive of responsiveness to ICIs or TKIs.

ABSTRACT A biodegradable flow diverting device (BFDD) that will regulate blood flow into an aneurysmal sac, act as a scaffold for endothelization at the neck of an aneurysm, and degrade after successful dissolution of aneurysm and remodeling of blood vessel. This BFDD and associated fabrication method have the following features: (1) This is a non-braided FDD. The pore shapes, sizes, architectures (especially at the inlet and outlet of the pores), pore densities and porosities can be controlled for the optimum performance depending on the blood vessel and aneurysmal morphologies from patient MRI images, (2) BFDD is developed on a rotary arm with programmable variable speed and diameter in conjunction with a micromotion stage (3) Fabrication system can take any material including blended/composite biomaterials by adjusting temperature of the electro-melt extruder/needle and (4) Fabrication system is compatible with CAM (computer aided manufacturing) software and able to operate based on the adapted G-code.

ABSTRACT Residence structures, systems, and related methods are generally provided. Certain embodiments comprise administering (e.g., orally) a residence structure to a subject (e.g., a patient) such that the residence structure is retained at a location internal to the subject for a particular amount of time (e.g., at least about 24 hours) before being released. The residence structure may be, in some cases, a gastric residence structure. In some embodiments, the structures and systems described herein comprise one or more materials configured for high levels of active substances (e.g., a therapeutic agent) loading, high active substance and/or structure stability in acidic environments, mechanical flexibility and strength in an internal orifice (e.g., gastric cavity), easy passage through the GI tract until delivery to at a desired internal orifice (e.g., gastric cavity), and/or rapid dissolution/degradation in a physiological environment (e.g., intestinal environment) and/or in response to a chemical stimulant (e.g., ingestion of a solution that induces rapid dissolution/degradation). In certain embodiments, the structure has a modular design, combining a material configured for controlled release of therapeutic, diagnostic, and/or enhancement agents with a structural material necessary for gastric residence but configured for controlled and/or tunable degradation/dissolution to determine the time at which retention shape integrity is lost and the structure passes out of the gastric cavity. For example, in certain embodiments, the residence structure comprises a first elastic component, a second component configured to release an active substance (e.g., a therapeutic agent), and, optionally, a linker. In some such embodiments, the linker may be configured to degrade such that the residence structure breaks apart and is released from the location internally of the subject after a predetermined amount of time.

ABSTRACT Herein, we describe the identification of a small molecule named Targapremir-210 that binds to the Dicer site of the miR-210 hairpin precursor. This interaction inhibits production of the mature miRNA, de-represses glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1-like enzyme (GPD1 L), a hypoxia-associated protein negatively regulated by miR-210, decreases HIF-1 a, and triggers apoptosis of triple negative breast cancer cells only under hypoxic conditions. Further, Targapremir-210 inhibits tumorigenesis in a mouse xenograft model of hypoxic triple negative breast cancer. We applied Chemical Cross-Linking and Isolation by Pull Down (Chem-CLIP) to study the cellular selectivity and the on- and off-targets of Targapremir-210. Targapremir-210 selectively recognizes the miR-210 precursor and can differentially recognize RNAs in cells that have the same target motif but have different expression levels, revealing this important feature for selectively drugging RNAs for the first time.

ABSTRACT Compounds described herein may be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases linked to protein misfolding, including prion diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and also other neurodegenerative, degenerative, metabolic and ischemic conditions. Indeed, NAD metabolism impairment is also a critical feature in brain ischemia/reperfusion injury, Wallerian degeneration, kidney failure, multiple sclerosis, aging, and metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. Therapies that elevate or stabilize NAD levels may thus have broad potential for treating many severely debilitating neurological and metabolic conditions. Evidence is provided herein with compounds from 8 lead series for NAD restoring properties and for therapeutic efficacy in cellular and/or animal models of prion disease, PD and ALS.

ABSTRACT Devices and methods for controlling molecular transport are disclosed herein. The devices include a membrane having a plurality of nanochannels extending therethrough. The membrane has an inner electrically conductive layer and an outer dielectric layer. The outer dielectric layer creates an insulative barrier between the electrically conductive layer and the contents of the nanochannels. At least one electrical contact region is positioned on a surface of the membrane. The electrical contact region exposes the electrically conductive layer of the membrane for electrical coupling to external electronics. When the membrane is at a first voltage, molecules flow through the nanochannels at a first release rate. When the membrane is at a second voltage, charge accumulation within the nanochannels modulates the flow of molecules through the nanochannels to a second release rate that is different than the first release rate. Methods of fabricating devices for controlling molecular transport are also disclosed herein.

ABSTRACT Bacterial infections evading the current antibiotic arsenal warrant new treatment options. The mainstay treatment for Clostridium difficile infections involves administration of the broad-spectrum antibiotic vancomycin, which also depletes the gut microbiome and its natural defenses. This leads to recurrent C. difficile infections in 20-30% of patients. Alternative treatment options are limited, triggering a perpetual cycle of relapse and recovery that may eventually lead to death. Keratinicyclin B represents a glycopeptide antibiotic chemotype with a mechanism of action that is selective for Clostridia. When combined, vancomycin (or other glycopeptide antibiotic) and keratinicyclin B interact synergistically to inhibit the growth of C. difficile at concentrations far lower than their respective minimal inhibitory concentrations. Such a combination therapy could allow for targeted colonization clearance at low antibiotic doses, thereby minimizing toxicity and reducing the likelihood of relapse.

ABSTRACT A mobile-platform imaging device uses compression of the target region to generate an image of an object. A tactile sensor has an optical waveguide with a flexible, transparent first layer. Light is directed into the waveguide. Light is scattered out of the first layer when the first layer is deformed. The first layer is deformed by the tactile sensor being pressed against the object. A force sensor detects a force pressing the tactile sensor against the object and outputs corresponding force information. A first communication unit receives the force information from the force sensor. A receptacle holds a mobile device with a second communication unit and an imager that can generate image information using light scattered out of the first layer. The first communication unit communicates with the second communication unit and the mobile device communicates with an external network.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for cryptographic key generation at a client and server are disclosed. The client has an array of PUF devices, and the server has an image that PUF. The server sends the client addresses of PUF devices to be measured, and retrieves previously stored responses corresponding to those addresses from its database. The client measures responses at the addresses. Each device hashes the resulting responses, and the server compares the hash received from the client to its own. If the hashes to not match, the server searches for a matching hash be perturbing the measured response bit stream until a match is achieved. The perturbed response bitstream, and the measured response at the client are then salted, and used for key generation.

Hand-crafting the multi-attribute classifier includes fusing at least an image classifier, an image spectrum classifier, a co-occurrence matrix classifier, and a one-dimensional (1D) power spectrum density (PSD) classifier. The multi-attribute classifier is trained by pre-processing training images to generate an attribute-specific training dataset to train each of the image classifier, the image spectrum classifier, the co-occurrence matrix classifier, and the 1D PSD classifier.

ABSTRACT An active attestation apparatus verifies at runtime the integrity of untrusted machine code of an embedded system residing in a memory device while it is being run/used with while slowing the processing time less than other methods. The apparatus uses an integrated circuit chip containing a microcontroller and a reprogrammable logic device, such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA), to implement software attestation at runtime and in less time than is typically possible with comparable attestation approaches, while not requiring any halt of the processor in the microcontroller. The reprogrammable logic device includes functionality to load an encrypted version of its configuration and operating code, perform a checksum computation, and communicate with a verifier. The checksum algorithm is preferably time optimized to execute computations in the reprogrammable logic device in the minimum possible time.

ABSTRACT In method of identifying capabilities of a malware intrusion that has been detected by an intrusion detection system, a notification that the malware intrusion has been detected is received from the intrusion detection system. A memory image associated with the malware is then captured. The memory image is parsed and a prior execution context is reconstructed by loading a last central processing unit (CPU) state and memory state into a symbolic environment. Addresses and prototype summaries associated with the malware are extracted from the memory image from the symbolic environment. Paths that are possible for execution due to the malware based on the addresses and prototype summaries are determined. Each path is modeled and a probability of each path being executed with concrete data is assigned. Paths with a low probability of leaving a plurality of paths of interest are pruned. Application programming interfaces (APIs) detected in the plurality of paths of interest are matched to a repository of capability analysis plugins. Any application programming interface (API) that matches at least one plugin in the repository of capability analysis plugins is reported to an analyst.

ABSTRACT Magnesium alloys and a process of manufacturing an article using magnesium alloys. During additive manufacturing, where the magnesium alloy is being deposited in a layer-by-layer manner, solidification of the melted portion of a deposited layer is performed in such a way as to ensure that about 15 percent or more of the portion being solidified includes a non-equilibrium eutectic constituent. This in turn reduces the likelihood of encountering solidification conditions that otherwise would lead to hot tearing problems. Further, upon subsequent heat treatment of the solidified layer, the eutectic constituents that were used for hot tearing resistance are dissolved so that the solidified layer may be returned to a substantially single-phase magnesium matrix such that desirable material properties such as improved flammability point, improved corrosion resistance and one or more of high yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation are promoted.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for the generation and use of session keys supporting secure communications between a client and server device are disclosed. The client device has or receives a password, which it hashes a predetermined first number of times. The hashed password is sent as a message digest to a server. The server applies the hashed password to a an array of PUF devices, and receives a response bitstream which is stored. The client later hashes the password a second predetermined number of times, which is less than the first predetermined number, and this second message digest is sent to the server. The server continues to hash the second message digest, generate PUF responses, and compare the result to the initially stored responses. The number of hashes necessary to achieve a match is the session key.

ABSTRACT Steam cracking of ethane, a non-catalytic thermochemical process, remains the dominant means of ethylene production. The severe reaction conditions and energy expenditure involved in this process incentivize the search for alternative reaction pathways and reactor designs which maximize ethylene yield while minimizing cost and energy input. According to the present invention, ethylene yields as high as 68% were obtained with a quartz open tube reactor without the use of a catalyst or a cofed stream of oxidizing agents. The open tube reactor design promotes simplicity, low cost, and negligible coke formation. Reactor designs can be optimized to improve the conversion of ethane to ethylene via non-oxidative dehydrogenation, an approach which shows promise for decentralized production of ethylene from natural gas deposits.

ABSTRACT A system comprising a nonlinear medium (NLM), an optical transduction module, a dual homodyne detector and a processor is provided. The NLM receives at least a pump beam and issues the pump, probe and conjugate beams, where the beams are linearly polarized. Optics route the probe, the conjugate or both beams to the sample. The sample imparts polarization rotation to light that interacts therewith. The optical transduction module imparts to the interacted light an optical phase shift that is a 1:1 transduction of the polarization rotation, where at least one of the probe light or the conjugate light carries the imparted optical phase shift. The processor obtains the optical-phase shift based on respective detection signals from the dual homodyne detector and determines, based on the obtained optical-phase shift, at least one of a Faraday polarization rotation, a Kerr polarization rotation or a spin noise spectrum.

ABSTRACT Me-N—C catalysts, wherein Me can include a transition metal, Mn, Fe, Co, or a combination of metals with Me-INU moieties located at the exterior surface of the Me-N—C catalysts are produced by a chemical vapor deposition synthesis. The synthesis methods can utilize non-solid-contact pyrolysis wherein a metal salt can be vaporized. Gaseous metal from the vaporized metal salt can displace a metal M from the N—C zeolitic imidazolate framework. The non-solid-contact pyrolysis does not mix solid iron precursors (e.g., Me=Mn, Fe, or Co) with the solid N—C zeolitic imidazolate framework precursors during or before the synthesis, which improves the process compared to conventional methods.

ABSTRACT A backside thermography technique was developed based on the temperature sensitivity of laser-induced fluorescence in flowing two-dye solutions. The approach utilizes visible light and optically transparent packaging materials to obtain spatially resolved transient thermal measurements. This technique is compatible with optically transparent water-cooled packaging, which will allow for the characterization of processes where heat is added as well as removed. A setup was designed, constructed, and used to study the performance of seven two-dye Rhodamine B (RhB)-Rhodamine 110 (Rh110) fluorescent solutions. The effect of dye concentration ratio on sensitivity, maximum frame rate, and excitation area was characterized. The system was used to demonstrate in-situ temperature measurements showing the importance of two-dye light compensation, as well as backside thermography using a simple droplet contact method to investigate temporal response. Droplet contact experiments were conducted on actively heated and cooled surfaces to study local temperature and heat flux behavior during phase change.

ABSTRACT A system and method that uses a high-temperature condenser to collect magnesium produced by thermal reduction, electrolysis, or distillation. The condenser is a common heat exchanger design (shell/tube, plate/plate, etc.) and uses a heat transfer fluid to cool and condense magnesium gas, e.g., to 200-900° C. under vacuum or pressure conditions. Solid or liquid magnesium is collected in the condenser along with any by-products or impurities at a purity greater than 35 wt-% Mg. Magnesium is subsequently liberated from the condenser by raising the temperature of the system, lowering the pressure, or both, to induce a phase change in the metal, such as melting or distillation, for further purification to, e.g., >90 wt-% Mg.

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 The present disclosure generally relates, in certain aspects, to droplet-based microfluidic devices and methods. In certain aspects, target nucleic acids contained within droplets are amplified within droplets in a first step, where multiple primers may be present. However, multiple primers may cause multiple target nucleic acids to be amplified within the droplets, which can make it difficult to identify which nucleic acids were amplified. In a second step, the amplified nucleic acids may be determined. For example, the droplets may be broken and the amplified nucleic acids can be pooled together and sequenced. As an example, new droplets may be formed containing the amplified nucleic acids, and those nucleic acids within the droplets amplified by exposure to certain primers.

ABSTRACT A provider system is connected to readers disposed at distances from the provider system. A secure local connection is established between the client device and the provider system via one of the readers. Before the client reaches an access touchpoint, the provider system receives from the client device a request for client access, the provider system sends to the client device a request for identification information of the client, and the client device sends client information associated with a first mobile identification credential (MIC) which the client device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the client having consented to release the client information to the provider system, and the client information having been verified. The provider system performs a liveness check of the client using live-captured biometric information at the access touchpoint, determines whether the liveness check is valid, and grants the request if the liveness check is valid.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for enhancing digitally informed delivery of delivery items, such as mail or packages. A delivery item has an associated digital resource(s), such as electronic text, a digital file, an image, a web page(s), or the like. The delivery item includes an indicia, such as a bar code, that provides access to, or references, the digital resource. When the delivery item is processed during transit from the sender to the recipient of the delivery item, the indicia is read, and the associated digital resource is identified therefrom. The delivery service transmits, to the recipient, an electronic notification indicating that the delivery item is enroute to the recipient and also indicating the associated digital resource. The recipient can then access the digital resource, e.g., the custom text, files, images or web pages associated with the delivery item.

ABSTRACT An environmental control system employs an electrolysis cell utilizing an anion conducting membrane. A power supply is coupled across the anode and cathode of the electrolysis cell to drive reactions to reduce oxygen and/or carbon dioxide in an output gas flow. A cathode enclosure may be coupled with the electrolysis cell and provide an input gas flow and receive the output gas flow. A first electrolysis cell may be utilized to reduce the carbon dioxide concentration in an output flow that is directed to a second electrolysis cell, that reduces the concentration of oxygen. The oxygen and/or carbon dioxide may be vented from the system and used for an auxiliary purpose. An electrolyte solution may be configured in a loop from a reservoir to the anode, to provide a flow of electrolyte solution to the anode. Moisture from the cathode may be collected and provided to the anode.

How To Use This Page 

THE FEDINVENT PATENT APPLICATION 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 Thursday, February 09, 2023.

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 is presented as it appears on the patent.

FILED
The date 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 the 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.
