ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to delivering payloads to the interior of a cell. In particular, the present disclosure provides three monoclonal antibodies that bind dystroglycan (DG) on the surface of cells. The antibodies are internalized into endocytic vesicles inside the cells once they are bound to DG. Thus, these antibodies can be used to selectively target and deliver payloads to cells, such as epithelial cells in cancer. The disclosed antibodies bind to DG independent of variable DG glycosylation. The targeted delivery enables selective treatment, imaging, and surveillance of cells in cancer, such as bladder cancer, along with other uses. |

ABSTRACT | The present invention provides methods for detecting and/or treating a subject having an aneurysm or at risk for developing an aneurysm. It has been discovered that a key metabolite of the kynurenine (Kyn) pathway, a major route for the metabolism of essential amino acid tryptophan (Trp) into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), plays a critical role in the formation of aneurysms, for example abdominal aortic aneurysms. In particular, it has been discovered that 3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid (3-HAA), a product of kynureninase (KYNU), plays a causative role in the formation of aneurysms by, for example exerting pro-inflammatory effects on vascular smooth muscle cells. It has further been discovered that elevated levels of 3-HAA are indicative of the presence and/or progression of an aneurysm, and 3-HAA levels correlate with the size (aortic diameter) of the aneurysm. |

ABSTRACT | A brain machine interface (BMI) to control a device is provided. The BMI has a neural decoder, which is a neural to kinematic mapping function with neural signals as input to the neural decoder and kinematics to control the device as output of the neural decoder. The neural decoder is based on a continuous-time multiplicative recurrent neural network, which has been trained as a neural to kinematic mapping function. An advantage of the invention is the robustness of the decoder to perturbations in the neural data; its performance degrades less—or not at all in some circumstances—in comparison to the current state decoders. These perturbations make the current use of BMI in a clinical setting extremely challenging. This invention helps to ameliorate this problem. The robustness of the neural decoder does not come at the cost of some performance, in fact an improvement in performance is observed. |

ABSTRACT | A cognitive illusion of ownership over a proxy extremity (e.g. a hand) is provided by discordant touch and visual information to a user. While the user feels the touch on their real extremity, they see a corresponding touch on the proxy extremity. The user's internally modeled reality is then updated to move the felt location of the real extremity to the seen location of the proxy extremity. As a result, the user embodies the proxy extremity, thereby disembodying the real extremity. Pain associated with medical procedures performed on the real extremity is then mitigated. And because an epileptic brain is less stringent when resolving conflict between what is seen and what is felt, correlations in time or space can shift attribution of the sensation of the felt touch on the user's real extremity to the location of the proxy extremity. This can be helpful in treating and/or diagnosing epilepsy. |

ABSTRACT | A series of vancomycin C-terminus guanidine modifications are disclosed that improve antimicrobial activity, enhance the durability of antimicrobial action against selection or induction of resistance, and provide two synergistic mechanisms of action independent of D-Ala-D-Ala binding that cause inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis, while inducing bacterial cell permeability. A contemplated compound contains two combined peripheral modifications, a (4-chlorobiphenyl)methyl (CBP) and C-terminus guanidine modification, that provide new treatments against not only vancomycin-sensitive, but especially vancomycin-resistant bacteria. The data demonstrate that the synergistic behavior of the peripheral modifications requires the presence of both the CBP and guanidine modifications in a single molecule versus their combined use as an equimolar mixture of singly modified compounds. A prototypical member of the series, G3-CBP-vancomycin (15), exhibits no hemolytic activity, displays no mammalian cell growth inhibition, and possesses improved and especially attractive in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. |

ABSTRACT | Multi-epitope, pan-coronavirus recombinant vaccine compositions featuring a combination of highly conserved B cell epitopes, highly conserved CD4+ T cell epitopes, and highly conserved CD8+ T cell epitopes, at least one of which is derived from a non-spike protein. The present invention uses several immuno-informatics and sequence alignment approaches and multiple immunological assays in vitro using human blood and saliva samples from COVID patients and healthy patients to identify several human B cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell epitopes that are highly conserved and antigenic in vitro. The Invention also used an in vivo unique mouse model of ACE2/HLA-A0201/HLA-DR triple transgenic mouse model to test the immunogenicity and the protective efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-Like symptoms, of the identified B and T cell epitopes and of the resulting multi-epitope-pan-Coronavirus vaccine candidates. The vaccine compositions herein have the potential to provide long-lasting B and T cell immunity regardless of Coronaviruses mutations. |

ABSTRACT | Chronic pain patients complain about sleep disturbance with a high probability, while sleep loss increases pain in chronic pain patients. Sleep problems and pain promote a vicious spiral, suggesting a need for simultaneous treatment of both. The present invention provides a method to treat pain-related sleep disorders through distribution of a therapeutic amount of a KOR antagonist. The use of KOR antagonist could be a novel therapeutic agent for sleep disturbance in chronic pain patients. Additionally, KOR antagonists could be used to improve sleep in other conditions, such as depression or general anxiety disorder, where KOR signaling is induced. |

ABSTRACT | Described herein is a microfluidic chip comprising a first channel in fluid communication with an adjacent second channel through a opening, wherein the height of the first channel and the second channel are chosen to generate sufficient surface tension at the opening such that a liquid injected into the first channel or the second channel is substantially confined within the first channel or the second channel, respectively, or that flow of the liquid therebetween is controlled, the surface tension producing a non-physical microfluidic barrier that limits or selectively controls passage of the liquid. Also described are in vitro microphysiological systems that use such microfluidic chips in modeling the structure and functions of human organs, such as a blood-brain barrier, and studying in vivo-like physiological responses of such organs to various investigative or therapeutic agents. |

ABSTRACT | Provided are new strategies, methods and systems, described herein as vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-assisted air-liquid-interface (ALI) culture, to significantly increase the number of enteroendocrine (EEC) and enterochromaffin (EC) cells over the traditional submerged culture, while at the same time maintaining a high barrier integrity of monolayers. The new strategies, methods and systems overcome the limitations of the existing EEC enrichment methods by maintaining high cell viability and barrier integrity and without requiring complicated procedures of cocultures or genetic engineering/induction. The created EEC-enriched, contiguous monolayer platform acts as a robust analytical tool to enable functional studies of hormone secretion from EEC cells with high signal background ratio and repeatability. |

ABSTRACT | Various examples of out-of-plane multicolor waveguide holography systems, methods of manufacture, and methods of use are described herein. In some examples, a multicolor waveguide holography system includes a planar waveguide to convey optical radiation between a grating coupler and a metasurface hologram. The grating coupler may be configured to couple out-of-plane optical radiation of three different color incident at three different angles into the planar waveguide. The combined multicolor optical radiation may be conveyed by the waveguide to the metasurface hologram. The metasurface hologram may diffractively decouple the three colors of optical radiation for off-plane propagation to form a multicolor holographic image in free space. |

ABSTRACT | Previous electrochemically-powered yarn muscles cannot be usefully operated between extreme negative and extreme positive potentials, since strokes during electron injection and during hole injection partially cancel because they are in the same direction. Unipolar-stroke carbon nanotube yarn muscles are described in which muscle strokes are additive between extreme negative and extreme positive potentials, and stroke increases with potential scan rate. These electrochemical artificial muscles include an electrically conducting twisted or coiled yarn and a material that dramatically shifts the potential of zero charge of the electrochemically actuated yarn. |

ABSTRACT | A brain machine interface (BMI) to control a device is provided. The BMI has a neural decoder, which is a neural to kinematic mapping function with neural signals as input to the neural decoder and kinematics to control the device as output of the neural decoder. The neural decoder is based on a continuous-time multiplicative recurrent neural network, which has been trained as a neural to kinematic mapping function. An advantage of the invention is the robustness of the decoder to perturbations in the neural data; its performance degrades less—or not at all in some circumstances—in comparison to the current state decoders. These perturbations make the current use of BMI in a clinical setting extremely challenging. This invention helps to ameliorate this problem. The robustness of the neural decoder does not come at the cost of some performance, in fact an improvement in performance is observed. |

ABSTRACT | A cognitive illusion of ownership over a proxy extremity (e.g. a hand) is provided by discordant touch and visual information to a user. While the user feels the touch on their real extremity, they see a corresponding touch on the proxy extremity. The user's internally modeled reality is then updated to move the felt location of the real extremity to the seen location of the proxy extremity. As a result, the user embodies the proxy extremity, thereby disembodying the real extremity. Pain associated with medical procedures performed on the real extremity is then mitigated. And because an epileptic brain is less stringent when resolving conflict between what is seen and what is felt, correlations in time or space can shift attribution of the sensation of the felt touch on the user's real extremity to the location of the proxy extremity. This can be helpful in treating and/or diagnosing epilepsy. |

ABSTRACT | Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which relate to using a use large area surface sampler with invertible bag for collection of biological and non-biological particles prior to subsequent analysis. The large area surface sampler with invertible bag uses an inverted bag with bonded sampling material to first serve as a sampling device followed by the bag being turned right side out and the captured particles being extracted inside of the bag. The device includes measures for sealing liquid in the sampling material using a protective cup at time of manufacture. This enables users to simply remove the protective cup and perform wet surface sampling prior to turning the bag right side out and removing captured particles from the sampling material with repeated compressions. The described device, systems and methods allow users to capture and elute surface samples for human clinical, veterinary, food safety, pharmaceutical, outbreak investigations, forensics, biodefense and bioterrorism response, environmental monitoring, and other applications where collection of samples from surfaces and humans or animals is required. |

ABSTRACT | Described herein is using an array of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) oscillators to produce unique identifiers. At least some of the MEMS oscillators will “couple” or influence each other when exposed to an external stimulus, such that the frequency of the device is not equal to the combination of individual MEMS oscillator frequencies. The frequency of the device provides a unique “fingerprint” that allows the device to be identified with accuracy but is incredibly difficult to copy, meaning the response may be a physical unclonable function (PUF). |

ABSTRACT | Exemplary embodiments provide thermal wear spreading among a plurality of thermal die regions in an integrated circuit or among dies by using die region wear-out data that represents a cumulative amount of time each of a number of thermal die regions in one or more dies has spent at a particular temperature level. In one example, die region wear-out data is stored in persistent memory and is accrued over a life of each respective thermal region so that a long term monitoring of temperature levels in the various die regions is used to spread thermal wear among the thermal die regions. In one example, spreading thermal wear is done by controlling task execution such as thread execution among one or more processing cores, dies and/or data access operations for a memory. |

ABSTRACT | A method and apparatus for dynamically routing traffic from a first network device to a second network device is described. In one implementation, the method includes sampling one or more qualified packets from an ingress stream using neural network classification criteria, appending a flow encapsulation header with the path information, providing the path information to the path computation engine at user approved time intervals, transmitting the packets to destination network device, and collecting real-time network telemetry data. Real-time network telemetry data is stored in a network health database. When a new network transfer is introduced, the system correctly identifies the characteristics of the transfer, in terms of size, throughput, jitter, latency, loss, and completion times. A corrective action is introduced that inputs the current network health information and transfer characteristics by generating corrective control rules to allow the transfer to be optimally routed (e.g., automatically) through the network. |

ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for producing mesophasic (between liquid and solid phases) carbon materials from plastic waste. The method and system includes a 2-stage pyrolysis reactor, including first and second pyrolysis stages where a carbon feedstock material is subjected to pyrolysis. The first pyrolysis stage may subject the carbon feedstock material to pyrolysis at a first temperature in a range of 500° C. to 700° C., and the second pyrolysis stage may operate at a second temperature in a range of 800° C. to 1000° C., providing secondary gas phase reactions (SGR). A residence time of the carbon feedstock material in the reactor may be no more than 10 seconds. After pyrolysis and SGR, a sparging and thermal treatment stage may convert pyrolysis tar products to an anisotropic pitch product suitable for use in production of carbon fiber or bulk graphite for use in fabrication of graphite electrodes. |

ABSTRACT | A subsurface continuous radioisotope environmental monitor that provides a continuous monitoring of the possible presence of radioactive species in subsurface groundwater. The detector and all supporting system elements are specifically constructed and equipped to be permanently mounted in a well or borehole to continuously detect and record radiation decay of radioactive species that are borne by subsurface water flow to that sampling area. The system operates by placing a detection element in a housing such that subsurface water that reaches the bore or well can flow in contact with the detection element. The system can employ several detection modes and materials. The detector includes SiPMs operating in a coincidence spectroscopy configuration to significantly reduce spurious signals due to thermal noise as well as increasing the total amount of signals collected. |

ABSTRACT | Using nucleotide architectures to very closely and precisely place chromophores on a nucleic acid template to form dye aggregates that produce quantum coherent excitons, biexcitons, and triexcitons upon excitement to create excitonic quantum wires, switching, and gates that would then form the basis of quantum computation. Creating the various excitons and controlling the timing of the excitons would be performed using light of the corresponding wavelength and polarization to stimulate the corresponding chromophores. |

ABSTRACT | Switchable antiferromagnetic (AFM) memory devices are provided based on an active material, FexNbS2, where x>1/3 and FexNbS2 where x<1/3, that exhibits the ability to manipulate spin information “non-locally” i.e. tens of microns away from the electrical stimulus. Spin information can be transported and stored non-locally in the FexNbS2 material. The devices leverage two long range effects: collective excitations to carry spin and strong magnetoelastic coupling to allow complex domain structures to propagate over large distances. The application of current pulses across the material can rotate or switch the AFM order between multiple directions. Non-local resistance measurements can detect the orientation of the AFM order as high or low resistance states. The state of the device can be set by input current pulses, and read-out by the resistance measurement, forming a non-volatile, AFM memory storage bit. |

ABSTRACT | Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for polymer-based extrusion. Some non-limiting embodiments provide for extrusion of a liquid photopolymerizable monomer in a channel/die with the aid of a lubricating component, such as poly(dimethylsiloxane)-graft-poly(ethylene oxide) grafted copolymer (PDMS-PEO), and driven by fluid pressure (e.g., a fluid pump). Other aspects of the present disclosure relate to growing soft robots. Some non-limiting embodiments provide a novel class of robots which grow in an environment by growing at their tip (or robot head) by using the self-lubricated photopolymerization extrusion techniques of the present disclosure. Emulating biological tip growth, this process is facilitated by converting an internal monomer fluid into the solid body of the growing robot through polymerization. |

ABSTRACT | A cognitive illusion of ownership over a proxy extremity (e.g. a hand) is provided by discordant touch and visual information to a user. While the user feels the touch on their real extremity, they see a corresponding touch on the proxy extremity. The user's internally modeled reality is then updated to move the felt location of the real extremity to the seen location of the proxy extremity. As a result, the user embodies the proxy extremity, thereby disembodying the real extremity. Pain associated with medical procedures performed on the real extremity is then mitigated. And because an epileptic brain is less stringent when resolving conflict between what is seen and what is felt, correlations in time or space can shift attribution of the sensation of the felt touch on the user's real extremity to the location of the proxy extremity. This can be helpful in treating and/or diagnosing epilepsy. |

ABSTRACT | Previous electrochemically-powered yarn muscles cannot be usefully operated between extreme negative and extreme positive potentials, since strokes during electron injection and during hole injection partially cancel because they are in the same direction. Unipolar-stroke carbon nanotube yarn muscles are described in which muscle strokes are additive between extreme negative and extreme positive potentials, and stroke increases with potential scan rate. These electrochemical artificial muscles include an electrically conducting twisted or coiled yarn and a material that dramatically shifts the potential of zero charge of the electrochemically actuated yarn. |

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, May 11, 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.
