ABSTRACT The present disclosure describes a method comprising ablating a substrate with a laser at an orientation to create a cavity in the substrate, scanning the cavity, and creating a three-dimensional surface for the cavity. The method further includes storing the three-dimensional surface in a dataset. The dataset includes a laser projected distance as an independent variable and a depth of cut as a dependent variable. The method further includes fitting parameters of a gaussian-based model for the laser and the substrate based on the dataset. The present disclosure also describes a method providing a pre-ablation surface, labeling a three-dimensional obstacle boundary that separates material to be remove by a laser and material to remain, and determining an orientation of the laser that results in a predicted post-ablation surface that does not intersect the three-dimension obstacle boundary.

ABSTRACT The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing the risk and severity of C. difficile infection. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that a restricted fraction of the gut microbiota, including the bacterium Clostridium scindens, contributes substantially to resistance against C. difficile infection. Without being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that this is achieved through the biosynthesis of secondary bile acids.

ABSTRACT Methods and apparatuses are described herein for inactivation of bacterial biofilms using sub-microsecond pulsed electric field application to an affected surface or region. In some examples, a bacterial biofilm may be inactivated while planktonic bacteria in the vicinity of the biofilm are not inactivated. These methods and systems provide an electrical-based therapeutic modality for which bacteria in biofilms may have difficulty developing resistance, unlike antibiotic therapies.

ABSTRACT The neuromodulation system includes a sensor, a recording amplifier, a processor, and a stimulator. The neuromodulation system is configured to provide stimulation and control of an intended target. The processor utilizes a closed-loop feedback system which is configured to actively sense target brain states and apply corrective stimulation or feedback as dictated by its effectors. The processor implements reinforcement learning which creates real-time statistical models of current and recent past neural states which actively and automatically learns stimulation paradigms which create paths from pathological to nominal brain states.

ABSTRACT A programmable assembly of proteins into well-defined nanoworms with broadened stability regimes is disclosed. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) were used to generate lipidated proteins with precise topological and compositional asymmetry. Using an integrated experimental and computational approach, the material properties (thermoresponse and nanoscale assembly) of these hybrid amphiphiles are modulated by their amphiphilic architecture. The judicious choice of amphiphilic architecture can be used to program the assembly of proteins into adaptive nanoworms that undergo a morphological transition (sphere-to-nanoworms) in response to temperature stimuli.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are methods for performing transcription-dependent directed evolution (TRADE) and novel AAV capsids selected using such methods. This disclosure also provides novel AAV capsid mutants. TRADE technology was used to identify novel AAV vectors that mediate neuronal transduction in the brain following intravenous administration. Application of TRADE in vivo resulted in the identification of new AAV capsids that can transduce neurons more efficiently and more specifically than AAV9 in the brain following administration of the new AAV capsids. The disclosed methods may be used to identify AAV capsids that target various cell populations.

ABSTRACT Disclosed herein is a system and method for increasing the fidelity of measured genetic data, for making allele calls, and for determining the state of aneuploidy, in one or a small set of cells, or from fragmentary DNA, where a limited quantity of genetic data is available. Poorly or incorrectly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed using expected similarities between the target genome and the genome of genetically related individuals. In accordance with one embodiment, incomplete genetic data from an embryonic cell are reconstructed at a plurality of loci using the more complete genetic data from a larger sample of diploid cells from one or both parents, with or without haploid genetic data from one or both parents. In another embodiment, the chromosome copy number can be determined from the measured genetic data, with or without genetic information from one or both parents.

ABSTRACT Ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR) is here associated with immune suppression and decreased survival times in multiple solid tumors. Based on immune cell-specific DMRs and validated cell deconvolution algorithms, the NLR in blood from glioma patients was estimated and glioma patients had elevated mdNLR scores compared to controls. The patient mdNLR scores were increased in patients with grade IV tumors compared to grade II/III. High mdNLR scores were associated with shorter survival. Candidate single (myeloid-associated) gene loci that were highly correlated with the mdNLR were identified. Single myeloid differentiation loci provide a simpler and cheaper alternative to the mdNLR, which requires complex array data. Immunomethylomics are useful and more convenient than conventional cell analysis in profiling glioma risk and survival.

ABSTRACT Provided is an anti-CRISPR protein (AcrVIA1), which acts as an inhibitor of the nuclease of Cas13. Cas13 recognizes complementary viral transcripts to trigger the degradation of both host and viral RNA during the type VI CRISPR-Cas antiviral response. AcrVIA1 is provided as an isolated or recombinantly expressed protein comprising the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or derivatives thereof, expression vectors that encode the same sequence, and methods of making and using proteins that comprise the same sequence, or derivatives thereof, for inhibiting the function of Cas13 and/or protein complexes and/or ribonucleoprotein complexes that comprise Cas13. The disclosure further includes use of the described inhibitor protein in improved diagnostic assays that include Cas13. Inclusion of the inhibitor is expected to preclude a requirement to reverse transcribe and/or create cDNA amplifications of the particular RNA that is the subject of the analysis.

ABSTRACT Described herein are 3D single-molecule super-resolution imaging systems and methods. The provided systems and methods use modulation interferometry and phase-sensitive detection techniques that achieve less than 2 nanometer axial localization precision, which is well below the 5-10-nanometer-sized individual protein components. To illustrate the capability of this technique in probing the dynamics of complex macromolecular machines, (1) movement of individual multi-subunit E. coli RNA Polymerases were visualized through the complete transcription cycle, (2) kinetics of the initiation-elongation transition were dissected, (3) the conformational changes from the open initiation complex to the elongation complex were analyzed, and (4) the fate of σ70 initiation factors during promoter escape were determined.

ABSTRACT Disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented methods and systems that can efficiently generate highly relevant recommended search terms to clinicians. A hybrid collaborative filtering model recommends search terms for a specific patient to the clinician. The model draws on information from patients' clinical encounters and the searches that were performed during the clinical encounters. To generate recommendations, the model uses search terms which are (1) frequently co-occurring with the ICD codes recorded for the patient and (2) highly relevant to the most recent search terms. One variation of the model uses only the most recent ICD codes assigned to the patient. Another variation uses all ICD codes. Comprehensive experiments of embodiments of the methods and systems have demonstrate high levels of performance.

ABSTRACT A vision-aided inertial navigation system (VINS) implements a square-root multi- state constraint Kalman filter (SR-MSCKF) for navigation. In one example, a processor of a VINS receives image data and motion data for a plurality of poses of a frame of reference along a trajectory. The processor executes an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF)- based estimator to compute estimates for a position and orientation for each of the plurality of poses of the frame of reference along the trajectory. For features observed from multiple poses along the trajectory, the estimator computes constraints that geometrically relate the multiple poses of the respective feature. Using the motion data and the computed constraints, the estimator computes state estimates for the position and orientation of the frame of reference. Further, the estimator determines uncertainty data for the state estimates and maintains the uncertainty data as a square root factor of a covariance matrix.

ABSTRACT A potentiostat is an essential piece of analytical equipment for studying electrochemical devices and reactions. As the design of electrochemical devices evolve, applications for systems with multiple working electrodes have become more common. These applications drive a need for low-cost multi-channel potentiostat systems. Embodiments describe herein include a portable, low-cost and scalable system with a modular design that can support 8 to 64 channels at a cost as low as $8 per channel. This design can replace the functionality of commercial potentiostats which cost upwards of $10k for certain applications. Each channel in the multi-channel potentiostat has an independent adjustable voltage source with a built-in ammeter and switch, making the device flexible for various configurations. The multi-channel potentiostat can be designed for low current applications (nA range), but its purpose can change by varying its shunt resistor value. The system can either function as a standalone device or remotely controlled. We demonstrate the functionality of this system for the control of a 24-channel bioelectronic ion pump for open- and closed-loop control of pH.

ABSTRACT A method for quantum spin amplification includes spin-polarizing an ensemble of quantum spins in an initial spin state to generate a transversely-polarized sensing spin state. The quantum spins identically have an upper energy state and a lower energy state. The sensing spin state accumulates a phase shift that transforms the sensing spin state into a phase-accumulated spin state having first and second transverse polarization components. The phase-accumulated spin state is transformed into an intermediate spin state by rotating the first transverse polarization component into a longitudinal polarization component of the intermediate spin state. The ensemble is then coupled to an auxiliary mode, during which the intermediate spin state evolves such that the second transverse polarization component is amplified into an amplified transverse polarization. This amplified transverse polarization is then measured.

ABSTRACT An atom interferometer that utilizes two counterpropagating continuous 3D-cooled atom beams which are directed into a vacuum chamber. Momentum-transfer laser (MTL) beams are directed into the atom beams to produce a predetermined recoil and subsequently generate an interference signal that is read by a photodetector and analyzed by a processor to provide information regarding inertial forces such as acceleration and rotation rate. Reversal of the recoil direction of the MTL beams allows for the suppression of errors in the measurement of the inertial forces.

ABSTRACT Methods for efficient doping of wide-bandgap (WBG) and ultrawide-bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors by implantation, and WBG and UWBG semiconductors made using the disclosed methods. A p-type semiconductor region is formed by implanting specified acceptor and donor co-dopant atoms in a predetermined ratio, e.g., two acceptors to one donor (ADA), into the semiconductor lattice. An n-type type semiconductor region is by implanting specified donor and acceptor co-dopant atoms in a predetermined ratio, e.g., two donors to one acceptor (DAD), into the semiconductor lattice. Compensator atoms are also implanted into the lattice to complete formula units in the crystal lattice structure and preserve the stoichiometry of the semiconductor material. The doped material is then annealed to activate the dopants and repair any damage to the lattice that might have occurred during implantation.

ABSTRACT Transducer systems disclosed herein include self-sensing capabilities. In particular, electrostatic transducers include a low voltage electrode and a high voltage electrode. A low voltage sensing unit is coupled with the low voltage electrode of the electrostatic transducer. The low voltage sensing unit is configured to measure a capacitance of the electrostatic transducer, from which displacement of the electrostatic transducer may be calculated. High voltage drive signals received by the high voltage electrode during actuation may be isolated from the low voltage sensing unit. The isolation may be provided by dielectric material of the electrostatic transducer, a voltage suppression component, and/or a voltage suppression module comprising a low impedance ground path. In the event of an electrical failure of the transducer, the low voltage sensing unit may be isolated from high voltages.

ABSTRACT A programmable assembly of proteins into well-defined nanoworms with broadened stability regimes is disclosed. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) were used to generate lipidated proteins with precise topological and compositional asymmetry. Using an integrated experimental and computational approach, the material properties (thermoresponse and nanoscale assembly) of these hybrid amphiphiles are modulated by their amphiphilic architecture. The judicious choice of amphiphilic architecture can be used to program the assembly of proteins into adaptive nanoworms that undergo a morphological transition (sphere-to-nanoworms) in response to temperature stimuli.

ABSTRACT The present application relates to an analytical method that includes providing a sample potentially containing a chiral analyte that can exist in stereoisomeric forms, providing certain probes; and providing an indicator. The sample is contacted with an excess of the probe under conditions to permit irreversible covalent binding of the probe to the analyte, if present in the sample. The sample is contacted with the indicator under conditions to permit covalent binding of the indicator to any excess probe that is not bound to the analyte. Based on any binding that occurs between the analyte and probe, the absolute configuration of the analyte in the sample and/or the enantiomeric composition of the analyte in the sample using a chiroptical technique is/are determined. Based on any binding that occurs between the indicator and probe, the concentration of the analyte in the sample is determined using a non-chiroptical technique.

ABSTRACT Disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented methods and systems that can efficiently generate highly relevant recommended search terms to clinicians. A hybrid collaborative filtering model recommends search terms for a specific patient to the clinician. The model draws on information from patients' clinical encounters and the searches that were performed during the clinical encounters. To generate recommendations, the model uses search terms which are (1) frequently co-occurring with the ICD codes recorded for the patient and (2) highly relevant to the most recent search terms. One variation of the model uses only the most recent ICD codes assigned to the patient. Another variation uses all ICD codes. Comprehensive experiments of embodiments of the methods and systems have demonstrate high levels of performance.

ABSTRACT A method for achieving voltage-controlled gate-modulated light emission using monolithic integration of fin- and nanowire-n-i-n vertical FETs with bottom-tunnel junction planar InGaN LEDs is described. This method takes advantage of the improved performance of bottom-tunnel junction LEDs over their top-tunnel junction counterparts, while allowing for strong gate control on a low-cross-sectional area fin or wire without sacrificing LED active area as in lateral integration designs. Electrical modulation of 5 orders, and an order of magnitude of optical modulation are achieved in the device.

ABSTRACT Described herein is a single-input hybrid Doherty power amplifier (PA). Unlike the conventional 214 Doherty PA inverter which only performs the correct load modulation at its center frequency, the hybrid Doherty PA (HDω-PA) combiner network achieves a wideband load modulation using the frequency dependence of the electrical length of the output combiner lines versus frequency for sliding the PA mode of operation. A modified theory is presented herein to allow for a single-input PA implementation. In this design, the outphasing angle is only changing with frequency and not the input power. A transmission line phase shifter is used to provide the correct frequency-dependent input phase offset ensuring the correct wideband load modulation performed by the output combiner

ABSTRACT Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention facilitate secure communication by changing sets of symbol waveforms used transmit data in particular symbol times defined herein as Symbol Waveform Hopping. SWH may be enabled by selecting two or more modulation formats that have sufficiently comparable communication performance (e.g., occupied bandwidth and signal power efficiency) to enable successful sending of data between a transmitter and receiver employing SWH, but characterized by symbol waveform alphabet that include different symbol waveform, so that the overall transmission/communication performance of data stream in a signal transmission channel of the system is not significantly affected by switching between modulation formats, but one symbol waveform alphabet is not reliably able to receive signals sent using the other alphabets. Some or all of the symbol waveforms in each alphabet may not be present in other alphabets.

ABSTRACT We provide a novel cleanroom-based process flow that allows for easy creation of multi-level, hierarchical 3D structures in a substrate. This is achieved by introducing an ultra-thin sacrificial hardmask layer on the substrate which is first 3D patterned via multiple rounds of lithography. This 3D pattern is then scaled vertically by a factor of 200 - 300 and transferred to the substrate underneath via a single shot deep etching step. This method is also easily characterizable - using features of different topographies and dimensions, the etch rates and selectivities were quantified; this characterization information was later used while fabricating specific target structures.

ABSTRACT Methods and devices for digitizing an analog repetitive signal using waveform averaging are described. An example method includes generating a time-varying dither signal, receiving the analog repetitive signal comprising multiple instances of a waveform, wherein each waveform has a waveform duration, wherein an average of the time-varying dither signal over multiple waveform durations is substantially zero, and wherein the time-varying dither signal varies over each waveform duration, generating a timing alignment, combining each waveform with the corresponding portion of the time-varying dither signal over each waveform duration to produce an analog output signal, converting the analog output signal to a digital output signal, and producing, based on the timing alignment, a digital averaged signal based on averaging the multiple instances of the waveform in the analog output signal, wherein the timing alignment is used to align the multiple instances of the waveform in the analog output signal.

ABSTRACT Systems, methods, and media for machine vision-guided robotic loading are provided. Such systems and methods can allow for more accurate object detection so as to allow for robotic picking or loading of an object from a pile or group of objects. In some embodiments, a camera is controlled to capture a background image of the object or group of objects. One or more illumination sources (such as, e.g., laser illuminators) are controlled to project immunization toward the object or group of objects within the field-of-view of the camera. The camera may be controlled to capture a scan image comprising the projected illumination. Based on the scan image, a depth map can be determined, which is provided to a machine learning model along with the background image. The output of the machine learning model can then provide information associated with one or more objects, such as location information, orientation information, and the like.

ABSTRACT A method for designing a combustion system which emits less of at least one environmentally-harmful emission is presented. In a describing step, an injector which introduces a fuel into a combustion chamber is described via a CFD code. In a modeling step, combustion kinetics of the fuel are modeled via a pre-processing code as the fuel mixes and reacts with an oxidizer. In a first selecting step, at least one primary scalar is derived during the modeling of the combustion kinetics. In a performing step, a table look-up is performed to obtain at least one data from a look-up database based on the primary scalar. In a second selecting step, at least one secondary scalar is selected in addition to the primary scalar(s). In a specifying step, at least one chemical pathway of formation or destruction for the secondary scalar is specified via a chemistry manager wherein the secondary scalar is representative of the environmentally-harmful emission(s) of the chemical pathway(s). In a utilizing step, the data is utilized to evaluate the chemical pathway(s) to quantify the environmentally-harmful emission(s). In an identifying step, an improvement to the combustion system is identified which reduces the environmentally-harmful emission(s).

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, June 22, 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?
