ABSTRACT The subject invention provides methods for the chemical synthesis of racemic arsinothricin (D,L-AST), the novel organoarsenical antibiotic. One is by condensation of the 2-chloroethyl(methyl)arsinic acid with acetamidomalonate, and the second involves reduction of the N-acetyl-protected derivative of hydroxyarsinothricin (AST-OH) and subsequent methylation of the resulting sodium salt of trivalent arsenic intermediate with methyl iodide. The enzyme AST N-acetyltransferase (ArsN1) was utilized to purify L-AST from racemic AST. This expedient chemical synthesis of AST provides a source of this novel antibiotic for future drug development.

ABSTRACT We have developed novel shear-thinning biomaterials using silica nanoparticles, gelatin-based polymers and small molecules such as doxorubicin. Shear-thinning biomaterial technology offers enables polymers and drugs loaded inside such polymers to be easily delivered directly through catheters into target area for use, for example, in cancer therapy and immunotherapy. When a force above a certain threshold is applied to inject such materials, they “thin” and behaves as a semi-solid, allowing the material to readily flow through a catheter. When the force is removed, the material instantly becomes a soft solid with significant cohesive properties that prevent it from dislodging or breaking up.

ABSTRACT Herein reported are new tricyclic cytidine compounds, such as 8-diethylamino-tC (8-DEA-tC), that respond to DNA and/or RNA duplex formation with up to a 20-fold increase in fluorescent quantum yield as compared with the free nucleoside, depending on neighboring bases. This turn-on response to duplex formation is by far the greatest of any reported nucleoside analogue that can participate in Watson-Crick base pairing. Measurements of the quantum yield of 8-DEA-tC mispaired with adenosine and, separately, opposite an abasic site show that there is almost no fluorescence increase without the formation of correct Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds. Kinetic isotope effects from the use of deuterated buffer show that the duplex protects 8-DEA-tC against quenching by excited state proton transfer. DFT calculations provide a rationale for the observed photophysical properties that is dependent on duplex integrity and the electronic structure of the analogue.

ABSTRACT Provided are embodiments of para-substituted 1,1-dialkyl-4-phenylpiperazin-1-ium iodides advantageous for modulating inflammation that have been synthesized and their electrophysiology activities for α9, α9α10, and α7 nAChRs compared. The para position contained alkyl or aryl amides, or heterocyclic isosteres for the amide, and the alkyl groups were varied at the ammonium piperazine nitrogen to see if compensatory changes in size at this position of the molecule impacted function. The compounds were characterized with two-electrode voltage-clamp measurements on Xenopus oocytes expressing nAChRs. General, the compounds were more potent for α9-containing receptors than for α7, and the majority were either full or strong partial agonists for α9-containing nAChR.

ABSTRACT A method (and system) of segmenting one or more histological structures in a tissue image represented by multi-parameter cellular and sub-cellular imaging data includes receiving coarsest level image data for the tissue image, wherein the coarsest level image data corresponds to a coarsest level of a multiscale representation of first data corresponding to the multi-parameter cellular and sub-cellular imaging data. The method further includes breaking the coarsest level image data into a plurality of non-overlapping superpixels, assigning each superpixel a probability of belonging to the one or more histological structures using a number of pre-trained machine learning algorithms to create a probability map, extracting an estimate of a boundary for the: one or more histological structures by applying a contour algorithm to the probability map, and using the estimate of the boundary to generate a refined boundary for the one or more histological structures.

ABSTRACT An ultrasonic imaging configuration rendering an image based on a reflected beam aligned with a needle insertion axis provides enhanced images and guidance. A percutaneous insertion guidance device for ultrasonic (US) imaging includes an US transducer and a reflector for redirecting imaging signals between the transducer and an imaged region. An enclosure or bracket is adapted to support the reflector at a predetermined angle based on a surgical target in the imaged region such that a forward beam direction from the transducer reflects in a direction of the needle insertion as the needle passes through a discontinuity or slot in the reflector. The resulting return signal is based on an axial alignment of the US signals with the needle travel towards the surgical target.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for clock synchronization are disclosed. A client synchronization system (CSS) may transmit RF pulses to a server CSS over micrometeorite ionization trail (MMIT) channels, and may receive RF pulses from the server CSS over MMIT channels, each received RF pulse following transmitted RF pulse. The client CSS may receive from the server CSS over MMIT channels measurement data including pulse arrival times at the server CSS. The measurement and transmission data may be correlated to identify RF-pulse pairs, each pairing a transmitted RF pulse received by the server CSS with a received RF pulse received from the server CSS, both over the same MMIT. TWTT analysis may be applied to timing data the pairs to compute time offsets between a client clock and a server clock. An analytical model of clock drift may be applied to the offsets to synchronize the client clock to the server clock.

ABSTRACT Multiplexed fiber optic sensors are able to monitor a multitude of sensor positions along an optical fiber from a single interrogation point. A long-standing goal is to increase the length of fiber and the number of multiplexed sensors without significantly compromising performance or increasing the size, weight, power and cost of the fiber and interrogation system. A technique is provided for performing extremely long-range, multiplexed fiber optic strain sensing in an efficient manner. This technique utilizes a serial optical frequency comb based interrogation system to probe an array of sensors placed along a single optical fiber.

ABSTRACT A method of rapidly forming an elastomer with tunable properties is described herein. The method includes preparing a monomer solution comprising a catalyst and one or more monomers including 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD). The one or more monomers may further include dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), and each of the COD and the DCPD may be present in the monomer solution at a predetermined volume percentage. A region of the monomer solution is activated to initiate an exothermic polymerization reaction and generate a self-propagating polymerization front, which moves through the monomer solution and polymerizes the one or more monomers. Thus, an elastomer having predetermined properties is rapidly formed.

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 hashes each of a series of passwords a first number of times. The hashed passwords are sent to a server. The server applies the hashed password to an array of PUF devices, and receives an initial response bitstream which is stored. The client later hashes each of the series of passwords a second number of times, which is less than the first number, and these are 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. For each password, the number of hashes necessary to achieve a match is a partial session key. Latency is improved by an array of separately addressable PUFs, each producing a partial session key.

ABSTRACT Methods and apparatuses for downconverting high frequency subbands to a lower frequency band and recovering signals-of interest. The system includes a controller, a signal generator, an optical source, a dual-drive mach zehnder modulator (DDMZM), a photodetector, and a dechipping/image (DI) rejector. The controller outputs chipping frequencies to the signal generator which generates local oscillator (LO) tones shifted by the respective chipping frequencies. The optical source outputs an optical signal to the DDMZM which has first and second arms and modulators. The first modulator receives a signal from a source and modulates it onto the optical signal propagating through the first arm to form a first modulated optical signal. The second modulator receives the shifted local oscillator tones and modulates them onto the optical signal propagating through the second arm to form a second modulated optical signal. The DDMZM outputs a signal which is a combination of the first and second modulated optical signals to the photodetector which generates a corresponding electrical signal. The dechipping/image (DI) rejector receives the electrical signal and one of the chipping frequencies and outputs a signal that maximizes signals in one high frequency subband while suppressing signals in other high frequency subbands.

ABSTRACT The chilling system provides cooling to components housed within a container by pumping propylene-glycol-water-mixture (PGWM) or equivalent through heat exchange assemblies and thermal transfer vessels. The thermal transfer vessels are filled with a paraffin-based phase change material (PCM) or equivalent solution for realizing phase change of the PCMs at selected melting points. The heat exchange assemblies are provided with thermal electric coolers for cooling the PGWM as it travels through the heat exchangers. The cooled PGWM is directed into and through a target cooling manifold of a target heat exchanger assembly to realize cooling the housed components. The system operates on direct current at under 500 watts of power and requires no Freon-type refrigerants or compressors. A microcontroller controls switches for realizing desired flow paths of the PGWM upon receiving phase change and temperature information from sensors.

ABSTRACT A 1.8-times improved light extraction efficiency (LEE) is reported under DC test conditions for truncated cone AlGaN DUV micropixel LEDs when the pixel size was reduced from 90 to 5 µm. This is shown to be a direct consequence of the absorption of the TM-polarized photons travelling in a direction parallel to the device epitaxial layers. Presently disclosed cathodoluminescence measurements show the lateral absorption length for 275 nm DUV photons to be 15 µm, which is ~1000 times shorter than that for waveguiding in the A0.65Ga0.35N cladding layers. Results show the re-absorption of this laterally travelling emission by the multiple quantum wells and the p-contact GaN layer to be a key factor limiting the LEE. Hence, for DUV emitters, scaling down to sub-20 µm device dimensions is critical for maximizing LEE. Presently disclosed sub-20 µm AIGaN-based LEDs do not show pronounced edge recombination effects. The peak light output power was further increased for all the devices after the addition of a semi -reflective Al2O3/Al heat spreader despite the reduction in sidewall reflectivity.

ABSTRACT An apparatus for measuring a pressure of a corrosive or high temperature process liquid includes a pressure sensor in communication with the process liquid via a vertical tube. A buffer gas injected into the vertical tube forms a liquid/gas interface at a desired height. The buffer gas supply is then either isolated or regulated so as to cause the buffer gas pressure within the vertical tube to remain equal with the process liquid pressure. The pressure sensor indirectly measures the process liquid pressure by measuring the buffer gas pressure within the vertical tube, while remaining chemically and thermally protected from the process liquid. In embodiments, pressure measurements from a pair of gas buffered pressure sensors located upstream and downstream of a valve are combined with measurements of the process liquid temperature to determine a flow rate of the process liquid through the valve.

ABSTRACT A method for making an improved nuclear fuel cladding tube includes reinforcing a Zr alloy tube by first winding or braiding ceramic yarn directly around the tube to form a ceramic covering, then physically bonding the ceramic covering to the tube by applying a first coating selected from the group consisting of Nb, Nb alloy, Nb oxide, Cr, Cr oxide, Cr alloy, or combinations thereof, by one of a thermal deposition process or a physical deposition process to provide structural support member for the Zr tube, and optionally applying a second coating and optionally applying a third coating by one of a thermal deposition process or a physical deposition process. If the tube softens at 800° C.-1000° C., the structural support tube will reinforce the Zr alloy tube against ballooning and bursting, thereby preventing the release of fission products to the reactor coolant.

ABSTRACT A method of rapidly forming an elastomer with tunable properties is described herein. The method includes preparing a monomer solution comprising a catalyst and one or more monomers including 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD). The one or more monomers may further include dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), and each of the COD and the DCPD may be present in the monomer solution at a predetermined volume percentage. A region of the monomer solution is activated to initiate an exothermic polymerization reaction and generate a self-propagating polymerization front, which moves through the monomer solution and polymerizes the one or more monomers. Thus, an elastomer having predetermined properties is rapidly formed.

ABSTRACT A method for conversion of food waste to biofuel can include a first fermentation in which food waste is converted C2-C4 short-chain carboxylic acids, and a second fermentation in which the C2-C4 short-chain carboxylic acid are elongated into C5-C8 medium-chain carboxylic acids. Medium-chain carboxylic acids can undergo hydrogenation-dehydration of the medium-chain carboxylic acids into C5-C8 linear olefins. The C5-C8 linear olefins are then oligomerized to a C10-C25 mixture comprising olefins, paraffin, cycloparaffins, and aromatics through dimerization; and saturated to C10-C25 mixture by hydrogenation to produce the biofuel.

ABSTRACT A valve configured to control a flow of a process fluid includes a pair of packing seals separated by a seal gap space along a linear valve stem of the valve, and a pressurization port that can be used to apply a pressurizing fluid, such as nitrogen gas, to the seal gap at a gap pressure that is higher than the process fluid pressure, thereby ensuring that any leakage past the packing seals will be of pressurizing fluid into the process fluid and/or into the environment, and that no process fluid will escape into the environment. The pressure or flow rate of the pressurizing fluid can be monitored to detect and quantify any pressurization fluid leakage past either of the packing seals, so that a maintenance action can be applied to the valve, such as re-tightening or replacing at least one of the packing seals, or replacing the valve.

ABSTRACT A valve for controlling a molten liquid includes an expansion port in liquid communication with an internal volume of the valve that is filled with the molten liquid. An expansion valve can be opened during unfreezing of the valve, to allow melting process substance to expand out of the internal volume into an expansion line as it is melted. During initialization of the valve, an inert gas source, pressure regulator, and ultrasonic transition level sensor can be used to establish a liquid/gas interface at a desired height within the expansion line. The valve can include a multi-zone heater, wherein a first of the zones is adjacent the expansion port, so that during unfreezing, after the first zone has been melted, the remaining zones can be sequentially activated in an order that ensures that each zone is activated only after an adjacent zone has been melted.

ABSTRACT The invention is directed to the selective dual wavelength olefin metathesis polymerization for additive manufacturing. Dual-wavelength stereolithographic printing uses ring-opening metathesis polymerization of the metathesis-active polymers. As an example, a resin formulation based on dicyclopentadiene was produced using a photolatent olefin metathesis catalyst, various photosensitizers and photobase generators to achieve efficient initiation by light at one wavelength (e.g., blue) and fast catalyst decomposition and polymerization deactivation by light at a second wavelength (e.g., ultraviolet). This process enables 2-dimensional stereolithographic printing, either using photomasks or with patterned, collimated light. Importantly, the same process was readily adapted for 3-dimensional continuous additive manufacturing, with printing rates of up to 36 mm h−1 for patterned light and up to 180 mm h−1 using un-patterned, high intensity light.

ABSTRACT A valve system for controlling a corrosive process liquid flow, while avoiding corrosion due to a liquid/vapor interface of the process liquid, causes the process liquid to flow from the valve through a purge port into a vertical segment of a purge line. During valve initialization, a non-reactive gas backpressure within the purge line is controlled to establish the liquid/vapor interface at a desired height within the vertical segment, as determined by an interface level sensor, which can be ultrasonic. The vertical segment is constructed from, or lined with, a material that can withstand contact with the liquid/vapor interface. During valve operation, the non-reactive gas pressure can continue to be regulated, or a purge valve can be shut, trapping a fixed quantity of the non-reactive gas within the purge line. The valve can include a heater configured to prevent a molten process liquid from solidifying within the valve.

ABSTRACT Disclosed in some examples are improved address prediction and memory preloading that leverages next-delta prediction and/or far-delta prediction for scheduling using a DNN. Previous memory access sequence data that identify one or more memory addresses previously accessed by one or more processors of a system may be processed and then converted into a sequence of delta values. The sequence of delta values are then mapped to one or more classes that are then input to a DNN. The DNN then outputs a predicted future class identifier sequence that represents addresses that the DNN predicts will be accessed by the processor in the future. The predicted future class identifier sequence is then converted back to a predicted delta value sequence and back into a set of one or more predicted addresses.

ABSTRACT A valve includes at least one valve stem seal, such as a packing seal, that is included in a removable seal cartridge. The valve stem is connected to the actuator via a linkage, which can be removed to provide a linkage gap between the actuator and the valve stem. The seal cartridge can then be slid along the valve stem into the linkage gap and laterally removed from the valve, whereupon the seals within the seal cartridge can be refurbished. The valve can be a rotary or linear valve. In embodiments, the linkage gap can be increased by linear displacement of the actuator away from the valve stem. The seal cartridge can be re-installed in the valve after refurbishment, or a substantially identical replacement seal cartridge can be provided, and can be installed in the valve in replacement of the removed seal cartridge, thereby minimizing downtime of the valve.

ABSTRACT Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, memory devices, and machine-readable mediums which store a single compressed value per line with a marker value in a front of the compressed version of the memory line. In some examples, the only value stored in the memory line is the value normally stored therein. This removes the complexity of the prediction tables and the inclusion of invalid values as well as preventing the penalty when those prediction tables are wrong. Furthermore, by inclusion of the marker in the beginning of the memory line, the system can quickly determine the compression status of the memory line without having to read the entire line. That is, it can quickly stop reading the rest of the memory line once the compressed data is read out which saves the memory device from having to read the entire line.

ABSTRACT Amphiphilic oligonucleotide conjugates that enhance adjuvant function are disclosed. The conjugates typically include: a lipophilic component, and conjugated thereto (directly or indirectly) an immunomodulating oligonucleotide that, if it were not conjugated to the lipophilic component, would suppress TLR7 and/or TLR8 stimulation. In the presence of albumin, these conjugates significantly enhance adjuvant function, in particular the function of TLR7/8-mediated adjuvants such as an imidazoquinolinamine. The conjugates can be administered, along with an adjuvant compound, to a subject in order to cause and/or enhance an immune response (for instance, to an infectious agent or a cancer antigen) in the subject.

ABSTRACT A method, computer program product and system for precision inkjet printing. A control variable vector of actuation parameters associated with an inkjet waveform is determined. A printhead is then actuated to eject a grid of droplets from an inkjet onto a substrate based on the inkjet waveform. An image of the grid of droplets on the substrate is acquired. The acquired image is then processed to calculate a fitness function of the inkjet waveform that includes a function of sensed output variables associated with printing characteristics. The control variable vector is then adjusted by updating its topology based on the fitness function to obtain an optimized control variable vector associated with an optimized inkjet waveform.

ABSTRACT A charging circuit for a capacitor in a defibrillator includes a control enabling a setting of a desired time to charge a capacitor to a desired voltage in the defibrillator. The charging circuit further includes a flyback charge-pump circuit comprising a switch, an energy transfer transformer, an energy storage capacitor and a control. The switch is configured to stop or allow storage of energy in a transformer. The transformer transfers the energy to the capacitor. The flyback charge-pump circuit controls a duty-cycle on the switch so that a current draw from a power source (e.g. battery) is sufficient to enable charging the capacitor to the desired voltage within the desired time set on the control.

ABSTRACT A nonreciprocal phased-array antenna includes an array of resonant antennas a1, . . . , an. During transmission, an outbound signal having a frequency f0 and a phase shift φdi caused by propagation through a data network feeds into each resonant antenna ai. Each resonant antenna ai upconverts the outbound signal using a modulation signal having a frequency fm and a phase shift φmi caused by propagation through a modulation network to produce an upconverted radiated signal having a frequency f0+fm and a phase proportionate to φdimi. During reception, an inbound signal of frequency f0+fm is received at each resonant antenna ai and is downconverted using the modulation signal to produce a downconverted signal having a frequency f0 and a phase proportionate to −φmi. After passing through the data network to the inbound port, the downconverted signal has a phase proportionate to φdi−φmi.

ABSTRACT Electrically controlled solid-state thermal switches and methods of controlling heat flow. An electrostrictive material is electromagnetically coupled to first and second electrodes that provide an electric field to the electrostrictive material. Different portions of the electrostrictive material are thermally coupled to each of a heat sink and a thermal load so that heat flowing from one into the other passes through the electrostrictive material. A control voltage is applied to the electrodes to selectively generate the electric field, thereby selectively altering the thermal conductivity of the electrostrictive material. The heat sink and thermal load are thereby selectively thermally coupled to each other in dependance on the control voltage.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for sorting items for delivery to delivery points, using delivery point compression. Items can be sorted and sequenced for delivery by a sorting machine having a finite number of sorting destinations. For routes having more delivery points than the number of sorting destinations, delivery point compression allows sorting destination assignments that eliminate delivery points not likely to receive any items. Sorting destination assignments can be performed by a processor of the sorting machine based on expected item information and delivery point item frequency scores.

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 30, 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.
