ABSTRACT Provided are electrochemical sensors for analyzing analytes. The sensors may comprise an implantable probe for analyzing a biological analyte, with those sensors described as electrochemical biosensors. Also provided are related methods of using and making the sensors. The electrochemical sensor is formed with an integrated on-chip probe body that provides for a buried microelectrode in a microfluidic channel etched in the probe body, such as a doped Si substrate. The fluidic system can, therefore, be quite small and suitable for in-vivo implantation and use, while withstanding high pressure. The fluidic system has specially-configured reagent channel to provide for periodic and convenient calibration, electrode cleaning and/or regeneration, without having to remove any sensor component from the implantation site.

ABSTRACT Methods and systems for radiation therapy involve administering a payload / combination of biocompatible high-Z and semiconductor NPs to tissue, such as a tumor or an eye. Ionizing radiation may be directed towards the payload, and ionized electrons generate Cerenkov radiation (CR). The CR interacts with semiconductor NPs to produce chemical species that are damaging to cells. The payload may be administered via injection or via a radiotherapy (RT) device that includes NPs in a biodegradable polymer matrix. Biodegradation of the polymer matrix, which results in release of its payload, may be remotely activated using, for example, electromagnetic or sound waves. The payload may include one or more immunologic adjuvants capable of promoting an immunologic response at remote sites (such as a metastatic tumors) that are separate from the site at which the NPs and adjuvants were administered.

ABSTRACT Detecting single molecules includes binding the single molecules to a surface of an optically transparent substrate, irradiating the surface of the substrate with light having an incident angle selected to achieve total reflection of the light, thereby scattering light from the surface and from the single molecules bound to the surface, and collecting light scatted by the surface and by the single molecules bound to the surface to form a series of images. Systems for detecting single molecules include an optically transparent substrate, a means for flowing a sample solution over a surface of the substrate, a light source configured to irradiate the surface, a camera, and a collection optical system configured to collect light scatted by the surface and by the target molecules on the surface to form a series of images on the camera.

ABSTRACT Provided are compositions, methods, systems, and kits, for use in CRISPR-based DNA editing. The compositions include RNA polynucleotides that include one or more atypical repeats, and can include truncated spacers. The RNA polynucleotides are used with proteins in systems that include CRISPR and transposon genes, or proteins encoded by the genes. The genes include transposon genes tnsA, tnsB, tnsC, and tniQ, and Cas genes cas8f, cas5f, cas7f, and cas6f. Use of the RNA polynucleotides as guide RNAs that include atypical repeats with the transposon and CRISPR proteins exhibit enhanced transposition, relative to guide RNAs that do not include atypical repeats. Enhanced transposition is demonstrated using representative IF-3b systems.

ABSTRACT The genomic data processing systems and methods described herein can accurately detect mutations in nucleic acid (e.g., cell free DNA (cfDNA) sequence reads associated with plasma nucleic acid samples. The genomic data processing system of the present disclosure distinguishes mutations derived from a tumor from mutations derived of clonal hematopoietic (CH) origin. The origin of mutated DNA fragments can be more accurately determined by analyzing fragment sizes in cfDNA to generate tumor and CH regions of interest (ROIs) in corresponding size profiles. A mutation can be more accurately classified using a metric based on proportions of fragments in the ROIs.

ABSTRACT A machine learned model has been trained using structural brain data obtained from parcellated brain images. The brain data is used to train the model to identify classifiers associated with biomarkers of specific regions of the brain. The biomarkers indicate the presence and/or potential for one or more mental conditions, such as the potential for suicide risk. Using the trained model, clinics, hospitals, and other locations will be able to quickly and accurately determine the potential for mental conditions, which can aid in identifying treatment for patients. The results can provide a prognosis for the mental condition as well.

ABSTRACT A drug carrier nanoparticle has been synthesized that can specifically target the proximal tubules of the kidneys. The nanoparticles accumulate in the kidneys to a greater extent than other organs (e.g., up to 3 or more times greater in the kidney than any other organ). They can encapsulate many classes of drug molecules. The nanoparticles are biodegradable and release the drug as they degrade. The particles can sustainably release a drug within the kidneys for up to two months. The nanoparticles are useful for the treatment of diseases that affect the proximal tubules, such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, hypertension, and renal failure; the study of relative blood flow to the renal cortex and medulla; and delivery of agents to treat gout.

ABSTRACT The inventors have used a differential nuclear staining (DNS) assay to discover compounds with cytotoxic activity against the CEM cell line that has been determined to be highly sensitive to a variety of anti-cancer compounds. Compounds were synthesized based on a pyrazole backbone structure. Several newly synthesized compounds have been tested to identify the compounds with highest activity. One compound identified is the SSK-3 compound which has been tested on cancer cell lines and determined that it induced apoptosis via phosphatidylserine membrane exposure and activation of caspase 3 in the CEM lymphoma cell line.

ABSTRACT Compositions and methods for preparing and using a swellable polymer network for expansion microscopy (ExM) applications. The swellable polymer network can be prepared on demand using external stimuli for ExM applications. A variety of external stimuli can be employed, including light irradiation, pH, temperature, and magnetic fields. Network preparation using light irradiation is particularly advantageous, as it allows tuned control over the network properties through the variation of time and dose of light irradiation. In other words, light irradiation can be employed with a wavelength and intensity that enables a polymer network formation.

ABSTRACT Herein is described kinetic assay, in which individual binding events are detected and monitored during sample incubation. This method uses interferometric reflectance imaging to detect thousands of individual binding events across a multiplex solid phase sensor with a large area. A dynamic tracking procedure is used to measure the duration of each event. From this, the total rates of binding and de-binding as well as the distribution of binding event durations are determined. Systems and components for performing the kinetic assay are also described.

ABSTRACT As disclosed herein, β-arrestin1 and β-arrestin2 levels are highly elevated in brains of FTLD-tau patients suggesting that both β-arrestin1 and β-arrestin2 are elevated in the brains of patients with AD and FLTD. The current work also shows that when β-arrestin2 is overexpressed, tau levels become elevated. The data indicate that β-arrestin2 reduces tau clearance by impairing p62-mediated autophagy, a role carried out by the oligomerized form of β-arrestin2. Therefore, disclosed herein are β-arrestin oligomerization inhibitors that can be used to prevent β-arrestin oligomerization and therefore the accumulation of tau in cells, i.e. tauopathy. Also disclosed are methods of treating a tauopathy in a subject that involve administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a β-arrestin oligomerization inhibitor disclosed herein.

ABSTRACT A method of controlling an actuator includes switching a primary solenoid valve to a first mode to fluidically connect a supply pressure source to a control chamber of a pilot valve. A fluid from the supply pressure source is directed through the primary solenoid valve to fill the control chamber of the pilot valve and put the pilot valve in a first position. The first position fluidically connects a second chamber of the actuator to a return pressure source. The actuator includes a cylinder between the first chamber and the second chamber and a rod attached to the cylinder. The fluid from the supply pressure source is directed into the first chamber of the actuator to move the cylinder and the rod in a first direction while the pilot valve is in the first position.

ABSTRACT A differential amplifier includes an unmatched pair, including first quantum dots and second quantum dots, and a matched pair, including first and second phototransistors. The unmatched pair has a difference between a first spectrum absorbed by the first quantum dots and a second spectrum absorbed by the second quantum dots. Each of the first and second phototransistors includes a channel. The first quantum dots absorb the first spectrum from incident electromagnetic radiation and gate a first current through the channel of the first phototransistor, and the second quantum dots absorb the second spectrum from the incident electromagnetic radiation and gate a second current through the channel of the second phototransistor. The first and second phototransistors are coupled together for generating a differential output from the first and second currents, the differential output corresponding to the difference between the first and second spectrums within the incident electromagnetic radiation.

ABSTRACT A reinforcement for increasing the strength and toughness and other properties in both transverse and in-piano directions for a composite material, and methods of manufacture therefor. The reinforcement has a layer of a nanoforest of vertical nanotubes or nanowires and a layer of horizontal nanotubes or nanowires. The reinforcement can be made by rolling a vertical nanoforest to produce a collapsed layer of horizontal nanofubes or nanowires, then growing a vertical nanoforest on the collapsed layer. The reinforcement can be grown directly on fibers which are used to reinforce the composite material, or alternatively Interleaved with layers of those fibers before the composite part is cured. The reinforcement and manufacturing method are compatible with almost any composite material in any shape, including epoxy, polymer, or ceramic matrix composites, or any manufacturing method, including prepreg, wet-layup and matrix film stacking. The present invention reduces scrap, rework, and repair hours for composites manufacturing.

ABSTRACT Manufacturing lightweight aggregate (LWA) by a sintering technique requires a delicate balance among three conditions: forming sufficient amount of molten liquid phase during sintering; reaching an appropriate viscosity for solid-liquid suspension; and emitting sufficient amount of gas that can be entrapped by the liquid phase to form pores. LWAs were made from low-calcium and high-calcium Waste Coal Combustion Ash (W-CCA) including fly ash and bottom ash. A mass fraction of at least 40% liquid phase for fly ash and 50% for bottom ash is required for a successful entrapment of emitted gaseous phases during sintering. Larger pores were observed in the microstructure of LWA samples made using high-calcium W-CCA in comparison to low-calcium W-CCA. This result was mainly attributed to the high-calcium samples forming liquid phases with lower viscosity values and emitting higher amounts of gaseous phase during sintering than did the low-calcium samples. The gaseous phase was generated by hematite reduction and anhydrite decomposition.

ABSTRACT A method for detecting and recovery from a soft error in a computing device is provided. In examples discussed herein, the method can be performed to detect soft errors that may occur during execution of a predefined critical instruction(s) and/or has been propagated in the computing device prior to the execution of the predefined critical instruction(s). Specifically, a software compiler may be used to embed an error detector block(s) after the predefined critical instruction(s). In this regard, the error detector block(s) can be executed after the predefined critical instruction(s) to detect the soft error. Accordingly, it may be possible to invoke a diagnosis routine to determine severity of the detected soft error and take appropriate action against the detected soft error. As such, it may be possible to protect the execution of the predefined critical instruction(s) concurrent to eliminating vulnerable voting intervals and reducing soft error detection overhead.

ABSTRACT A source and drain electrode are spaced apart by an optically exposed gate region above a surface photovoltage effect (SPV) bulk. A two-dimensional material is deposited upon the gate region. The gate region is activated by exposure to an ultrafast light pulse, which may be infrared or near-infrared, and may be a focused collimated laser pulse with a sub-picosecond width. The pulse causes electron-hole pair generation resulting in band bending in the SPV material, which generates an electric field within the 2D material, thereby modifying the electronic properties between source and drain via a field-effect. After passage of the pulse, conduction continues in the device until the conductive electron-hole pairs recombine during the SPV decay time. The two-dimensional material may comprise a crystalline atomic monolayer. The activation is repeatable with subsequent pulses, resulting in the device cycling on and off within timescales less than 200 picoseconds.

ABSTRACT An adiabatic resonator, an adiabatic oscillator, and an adiabatic oscillator system are disclosed. An adiabatic system is one that ideally transfers no heat outside of the system, thereby reducing the required operating power. The adiabatic resonator, which includes a plurality of tank circuits, acts as an energy reservoir, the missing aspect of previously attempted adiabatic computational systems. By using the adiabatic resonator as a feedback element with an amplifier, an adiabatic oscillator is formed. An adiabatic oscillator system is formed with a primary adiabatic oscillator feeding a plurality of secondary adiabatic oscillators. In this manner, the adiabatic oscillator system may be used to generate the multiple clock signals required of adiabatic computational logic elements, such as Split-level Charge Recovery Logic and 2-Level Adiabatic Logic. The adiabatic oscillator system stores enough energy to drive many individual adiabatic computational logic elements, permitting implementation of complex logic circuits.

ABSTRACT A method or tool for an efficient, data-driven approach to beam tuning in particle accelerators that leverages deep learning over structured data. A beamline is represented as a graph, where individual elements are nodes and relationships between elements are edges. Element parameters are captured as node features. A graph neural network is used to generate a whole-graph embedding that preserves structural information, and dimensionality reduction techniques are applied to visualize low-dimensional representations. Providing a category label for each embedding to identify optimal regions of parameter space. The method serves as a global diagnostic, inasmuch as it monitors a high-dimensional space and provides feedback to operators when changes are made. Operators can track if changes during beam tuning move the configuration away or towards optimal regions of parameter space. On-line and off-line tool embodiments of the beam tuning tool are described.

ABSTRACT A rapid and facile design strategy to create a highly complex optical tag with programmable, multimodal photoluminescent properties is described. This is achieved via intrinsic and biomolecule-fluorophore hidden signatures. As a first covert feature of the tag, an intricate novel heterometallic near-infrared (NIR) emitting mesoporous metal-organic framework (MOF) was synthesized comprising homometallic hexanuclear clusters based on Nd and Yb. To generate controlled, multimodal, and tailorable emission with difficult to counterfeit features, the NIR emissive MOF was post-synthetically modified via a fluorescent biomolecule labeling design strategy. The surface attachment of several distinct fluorophores, including the simultaneous attachment of up to three distinct fluorescently labeled DNA oligos was demonstrated, with excitation and emission properties across the visible spectrum (480-800 nm). The DNA inclusion as a secondary covert element in the tag was demonstrated via detection of SYBR Gold dye association.

ABSTRACT A nonlinear fiber interferometer is disclosed suitable for fiber sensor and other applications. A first nonlinear fiber section amplifies probe and conjugate sidebands of a pump through four-wave mixing. A second section introduces a phase shift to be measured, for example from a sensor. A third nonlinear fiber section amplifies with phase-sensitive gain to increase signal-to-noise ratio. Based on phase-sensitive output power of probe and/or conjugate components, the phase shift can be measured. Superior performance can be obtained by balancing gain between the (first and third) nonlinear sections. Non-fiber, for example photonic integrated circuit, embodiments are disclosed. Differential sensing, alternative detection schemes, sensing applications, associated methods, and other variations are disclosed.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure provides to a novel continuous processing method to prepare sheets comprising cellulose nanofibril (CNF) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Single screw extrusion was utilized to continuously process mechanically fibrillated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) into sheets. Water-retention ability and stability of CNF suspensions containing different processing aids was assessed through centrifugation and zeta potential analysis. Subsequently, highly loaded pastes (up to ˜25 wt. % total solids content) containing the best performing processing aids (carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), xanthan gum (XG), and anionic polyacrylamide (aPAM)) and CNF were prepared using a Brabender with Banbury mixer-head at a dry weight ratio of either 0.1 to 1 or 0.15 to 1, respectively. Validation of the mixing procedure proved that highly loaded CNF pastes can be processed in under 40 minutes, saving up to 40 days in preparation and drying time.

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, April 13, 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.

You can also reach this page using the weekly page link that looks like this:
