ABSTRACT The present disclosure concerns luteinizing hormone receptor hormone (LHRH) compositions that can selectively bind to an LHRH receptor. Through the incorporation of radionuclides in the LHRH compositions, selective radiolabeling is made possible, allowing for identification of cells over-expressing the LHRH receptor, which is often a facet of an abnormally growing cell or a tumorigenic cell. The LHRH compositions can therefore provide for improved detection and monitoring of cancers associated with or caused by LHRH receptor over-expression.

ABSTRACT Imaging various regions of the eye is important for both clinical diagnostic and treatment purposes as well as for scientific research. Diagnosis of a number of clinical conditions relies on imaging of the various tissues of the eye. The subject technology describes a method and apparatus for imaging the eye using off-center illumination in a manner that avoids light striking the anterior surfaces of the eye at or near a center of the optical axis, thereby reducing reflections traveling back along an imaging light path, while also providing substantially uniform illumination of a region of interest of the fundus.

ABSTRACT A method of making an M-N—C catalyst is disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) contacting an N-doped carbon support with a basic solution that includes a metal salt, whereby the N-doped carbon support is metalated by the metal cation of the metal salt to form one or more chelated metal-nitrogen complexes (MNx species); and (b) subsequently contacting the metalated N-doped carbon support with an acid, whereby the one or more MNx species formed on the N-doped carbon support in step (a) remain intact while other species are removed. The resulting composition may be catalytically activated by heat treating the composition. The activated catalyst may be used to catalyze a wide range of chemical reactions.

ABSTRACT A collector device of environmental exposure is provided. This device may be used to collect and, after technical upgrade, monitor environmental exposure in personal and stationary settings. By coupling with advanced genomic analysis and chemical analysis technologies, the device and its accompanying methodology are capable of detecting environmental agents of diverse nature, many of which could pose health risks if going unaware of or uncontrolled. This type of information provides much needed clues to reconstruct and pinpoint the course of disease etiology at both personal and epidemic scales. By combining personal exposome and personal omics analyses, we can recapitulate with the intention to then prescribe treatment plans with unprecedented precision.

ABSTRACT Dimer and monomer molecules according to general formulas (I) or (II) are useful as lipid switch molecules when incorporated into a membrane of a liposome. wherein R1 is a hydrophobic tail having at least 6 carbons and wherein R2 is selected from the group consisting of —NH2, wherein, for the dimer, the linker is a saturated carbon chain having 2 to 6 carbons or is a para-xylene linker; and when R2 is charged anions are present to render the charge neutral. These molecules can bind ATP or similar small phosphorylated molecules between R2 groups, which changes the shape of the molecule or the molecules orientation within the membrane thereby acting as a “switch” to release a therapeutic agent from the liposome.

ABSTRACT Disclosed is a method for enhancing tumor response to chemotherapy, the method comprising administering a short-acting anti-angiogenic agent (AAA) capable of activating ASMase to a subject afflicted with a solid tumor, and thereby creating a time interval of increased susceptibility of said tumor to one or more chemotherapeutic agents, followed by administration of at least one chemotherapeutic agent within the interval. The interval can be defined in terms of a short-duration activation of ASMase signaling by the AAA. Disclosed are also methods for predicting the tumor response in a patient afflicted with a solid tumor to a chemotherapeutic agent, using as an indicator of the response ASMase level or activity (or ceramide level) in the patient following the administration of the chemotherapeutic agent to the patient, or dynamic IVIM based DW-MRI to measure perfusion alterations following administration of the chemotherapeutic agent.

ABSTRACT The present specification relates to image capture. More specifically, it relates to selective image capture for sensor carrying devices or floats deployed, for example, on the open sea. In one form, data is generated on the sensor carrying devices or floats by an on-board Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and is used to automatically predict the wave motion of the sea. These predictions are then used to determine an acceptable set of motion parameters that are used to trigger the on-board camera(s). The camera(s) then capture images. One consideration is that images captured at or near the peak of a wave crest with minimal pitch and roll will contain fewer obstructions (such as other waves). Such images provide a view further into the horizon to, for example, monitor maritime sea traffic and other phenomenon. Therefore, the likelihood of capturing interesting objects such as ships, boats, garbage, birds, . . . etc. is increased. These images may then be further processed and/or transmitted in a variety of manners.

ABSTRACT A flange for a pressure vessel includes a rim, a sealing seat, and an undercut fillet. The rim has an annular surface for abutting an annular end of a cylindrical wall of the pressure vessel. The sealing seat has a cylindrical surface for abutting an inner surface of the cylindrical wall of the pressure vessel nearby the annular end. The undercut fillet is disposed between the rim and the sealing seat. A concave surface of the undercut fillet extends the annular surface of the rim radially inward and then curves back outward to intersect the cylindrical surface of the sealing seat. The undercut fillet of the flange helps distribute stress produced from a pressure differential between the inside and outside of the pressure vessel.

ABSTRACT Agent/client pairs in at least one priority tier are determined. A matrix value is determined for each agent/client pair based on the client rank of the agent/client pair. An engagement capability parameter is determined for each agent/client pair. The matrix value for each disallowed agent/ranked client value is set to a zero value. All possible engagement options are evaluated. Candidate pair paths are determined by determining pair paths having a highest initial path value. The initial path value of each candidate pair path is decreased based on agent/client pairs in the candidate pair path that are urgent agent/client pairs or risky agent/client pairs to derive a final path value for each candidate pair path. A best path is determined based on the final path value for each candidate pair path. At least one engagement decision is derived based on the best path and transmitted towards agents in the best path.

ABSTRACT Provided is an apparatus and method for radar calibration that utilizes external shielding structures to be constructed around the body frame of a system to manage external signature presence and block unwanted signal emissions and intrusions. The inventive structures can adapt to desired user requirements or to environmental change as needed. The variable shielding with isolating connectors to the body frame of the system allows for aerodynamic needs to be sustained due to the mesh design while also protecting against electromagnetic spectrum interference and electro-optical short wave and long wave infrared signature emissions. The shielding can also be formed to emit a known or desired radio frequency response based on geometric shapes in order to influence radar cross-section readings. Communication with external environment is completed through the use of the shielding as a series of antennas.

ABSTRACT Next-generation wearable electronics require enhanced mechanical robustness and device complexity. Besides previously reported softness and stretchability, desired merits for practical use include elasticity, solvent resistance, photo-patternability and high charge carrier mobility. The present embodiments provide a molecular design concept that simultaneously achieves all these targeted properties in both polymeric semiconductors and dielectrics, without compromising electrical performance. This is enabled by covalently-embedded in-situ rubber matrix (iRUM) formation through good mixing of iRUM precursors with polymer electronic materials, and finely-controlled composite film morphology built on azide crosslinking chemistry which leverages different reactivities with C—H and C═C bonds. The high covalent crosslinking density results in both superior elasticity and solvent resistance. When applied in stretchable transistors, the iRUM-semiconductor film retained its mobility after stretching to 100% strain, and exhibited record-high mobility retention of 1 cm2 V−1 s−1 after 1000 stretching-releasing cycles at 50% strain. The cycling life was stably extended to 5000 cycles, five times longer than all reported semiconductors.

ABSTRACT Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, memory devices, and machine-readable mediums that allows an application thread to indicate an undo logging operation when calculations are beginning that may need to be rolled back if a crash or other failure occurs. During the undo logging operation, memory writes an identified memory are done to a copy and the original value is preserved. If the undo logging operation is committed, then the copy becomes the correct value and may then be subsequently used in place of the original, or the value stored in the copy is copied to the original. If the undo logging operation is abandoned, the copy is not preserved and the value goes back to the original.

ABSTRACT A method for reducing the concentration of amines in a wash liquid stream exiting a wash section in an acid gas scrubbing process includes introducing the wash liquid stream exiting the wash section of the acid gas scrubbing process to an adsorbent material, wherein the wash liquid stream has a first concentration of amines. The wash liquid stream having the first concentration of amines is flowed through the adsorbent material, and the adsorbent material retains at least a portion of the amines thereby providing a wash liquid stream having a second, reduced concentration of amines. The wash stream with reduced concentration of amines is recycled back to the wash section to remove amines more effectively from the acid gas being scrubbed. The adsorbent material can be regenerated for reuse. Amine recovered from the regenerated adsorbent material can be recycled to the process for reuse.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a tapered optical fiber, where the optical fiber has a cladding encasing a core and has an initial outer diameter. The method involves applying opposing forces to spaced apart sections of the optical fiber. The spaced apart sections define a length portion representing a waist region. While applying the opposing forces, simultaneously applying heat to the waist region to gradually produce a taper of the optical fiber within the waist region. The taper has a first diameter at a midpoint of the waist region which is less than the initial outer diameter. An etch operation is then performed by chemically etching at least a subportion of the waist region of the optical fiber to reduce the subportion to a second diameter which is less than the first diameter.

ABSTRACT The present specification relates to image capture. More specifically, it relates to selective image capture for sensor carrying devices or floats deployed, for example, on the open sea. In one form, data is generated on the sensor carrying devices or floats by an on-board Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and is used to automatically predict the wave motion of the sea. These predictions are then used to determine an acceptable set of motion parameters that are used to trigger the on-board camera(s). The camera(s) then capture images. One consideration is that images captured at or near the peak of a wave crest with minimal pitch and roll will contain fewer obstructions (such as other waves). Such images provide a view further into the horizon to, for example, monitor maritime sea traffic and other phenomenon. Therefore, the likelihood of capturing interesting objects such as ships, boats, garbage, birds, . . . etc. is increased. These images may then be further processed and/or transmitted in a variety of manners.

ABSTRACT A method for antibacterial susceptibility testing includes preparing a set of two or more samples of a plurality of bacterial cells from a patient; adding a different amount of a selected drug to each sample; illuminating at least a portion of a sample using a coherent illumination source; capturing a series of speckle images over time of at least a portion of the illuminated sample; and determining an inhibition status of the sample using a machine-learning classifier applied to the series of speckle images. The steps of illuminating the sample, capturing a series of images, and determining an inhibition status are repeated for each sample of the set of two or more samples. The method may include transforming the series of speckle images to a frequency series of speckle images; and determining the inhibition status of the sample uses the machine-learning classifier applied to the frequency series of speckle images.

ABSTRACT A dual-function supercapacitor carbon fiber composite stores electrical energy and functions, for example, as the body shell of electric vehicles (EVs). This is achieved with a vertically aligned graphene on carbon fiber electrode, upon which metal oxides were deposited to obtain ultra-high energy density anode and cathode. A high-strength multilayer carbon composite assembly is fabricated using an alternate layer patterning configuration of epoxy and polyacrylamide gel electrolyte. The energized composite delivers a high areal energy density of 0.31 mWh cm−2 at 0.3 mm thickness and showed a high tensile strength of 518 MPa, bending strength of 477 MPa, and impact strength 2666 J/m. To show application in EVs, a toy car body fabricated with energized composite operates using the energy stored inside the frame. Moreover, when integrated with a solar cell, this composite powered an IoT (interne of things) device, showing feasibility in communication satellites.

ABSTRACT Dimer and monomer molecules according to general formulas (I) or (II) are useful as lipid switch molecules when incorporated into a membrane of a liposome. wherein R1 is a hydrophobic tail having at least 6 carbons and wherein R2 is selected from the group consisting of —NH2, wherein, for the dimer, the linker is a saturated carbon chain having 2 to 6 carbons or is a para-xylene linker; and when R2 is charged anions are present to render the charge neutral. These molecules can bind ATP or similar small phosphorylated molecules between R2 groups, which changes the shape of the molecule or the molecules orientation within the membrane thereby acting as a “switch” to release a therapeutic agent from the liposome.

ABSTRACT A method for antibacterial susceptibility testing includes preparing a set of two or more samples of a plurality of bacterial cells from a patient; adding a different amount of a selected drug to each sample; illuminating at least a portion of a sample using a coherent illumination source; capturing a series of speckle images over time of at least a portion of the illuminated sample; and determining an inhibition status of the sample using a machine-learning classifier applied to the series of speckle images. The steps of illuminating the sample, capturing a series of images, and determining an inhibition status are repeated for each sample of the set of two or more samples. The method may include transforming the series of speckle images to a frequency series of speckle images; and determining the inhibition status of the sample uses the machine-learning classifier applied to the frequency series of speckle images.

ABSTRACT A system for industrial application package management includes a computing device having a processor and a memory having executable programs and applications stored thereon, including plurality of industrial application programs miming an engineering project involving multiple different disciplines, and a package manager client. The package manager client communicates with a remote repository server that hosts application packages, and sends requests for packages and receives package deliveries. The package manager client unbundles package metainformation relevant to a domain specific application and according to an industrial package information schema. A dependency tracking module identifies dependencies of a current package to other packages and generates a dependency tree that includes the name and version of each dependent package. An upgrade analyzer compares dependency trees to identify dependency incompatibilities as conflicting packages based on inconsistencies and performs an automated resolution of the dependency incompatibilities.

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, March 02, 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.
