ABSTRACT A method of generating corrected fluorescence data of concentrations of a targeted fluorophore in tissue of a subject includes administering first and second fluorescent contrast agents to the subject, the first contrast agent targeted to tissue of interest, the second agent untargeted. The tissue is illuminated with light of a first stimulus wavelength and first data is acquired at an appropriate emissions wavelength; the tissue is illuminated at a second stimulus wavelength and second data is acquired at a second emissions wavelength associated with the second agent, the first and second emissions wavelength differ. Difference data is generated by subtracting the second data from the first data. A system provides for stimulus and capture at multiple wavelengths, with image storage memory and subtraction code, to perform the method. Corrected data may form an fluorescence image, or is used to generate fluorescence tomographic images.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure reports that pharmacological or genetic inhibition of Moloney murine leukemia virus insertion site 1 (BMI1) not only helped to eliminate BMI1+ cancer stem cells (CSCs), but can also augment PD1 blockade by strongly induced tumor cell-intrinsic immune responses by recruiting and activating CD8+ T cells. Taken together, the results indicate that in addition to purging CSCs, targeting BMI1 would enable immune checkpoint blockade to inhibit metastatic tumor growth and prevent tumor relapse by activating cell-intrinsic immunity.

ABSTRACT Poly(amine-co-ester) polymers, methods of forming active agent-load polyplexes and particles therefrom, and methods of using them for delivery of nucleic acid agents with optimal uptake have been developed. Examples demonstrate critical molecular weights in combination with exposed carboxylic and/or hydroxyl groups, and methods of making. Typically, the compositions are less toxic, more efficient at drug delivery, or a combination thereof compared to a control other transfection reagents. In some embodiments, the compositions are suitable for in vivo delivery, and can be administered systemically to a subject to treat a disease or condition. For poly(amine-co-ester) polymers with specific amine or hydroxyl group containing end-groups in admixture with PEGylated poly(amine-co-ester) polymers, in vivo delivery to the lung by inhalation has been shown.

ABSTRACT Lighting systems, methods, and devices for protecting human circadian neuroendocrine function during night use are described. Suitable lighting conditions can be provided for a working environment while protecting the circadian neuroendocrine systems of those occupying the illuminated workplace during the night. Lighting systems, methods, and devices can provide substantive attenuation of the pathologic circadian disruption in night workers. Lighting systems, methods, and devices can attenuate the specific bands of light implicated in circadian disruption. LED lighting systems, methods, and devices can provide increased intensity at a different portion of the spectrum than conventional LEDs, providing a useable white light even when unfavorable portions of the wavelength are attenuated by a notch filter. LED lighting systems, methods, and devices can switch between a daytime configuration and a night time configuration, wherein the daytime configuration provides unfiltered light and the night time configuration provides filtered light.

ABSTRACT This disclosure provides isolated or recombinant polypeptides that are useful to vaccinate individuals suffering from chronic/recurrent biofilm disease or as a therapeutic for those with an existing infection. The individual's immune system will then naturally generate antibodies which prevent or clear these bacteria from the host by interfering with the construction and or maintenance of a functional protective biofilm. Alternatively, antibodies to the polypeptides can be administered to treat or prevent infection. Bacteria that cannot form functional biofilms are more readily cleared by the remainder of the host's immune system and/or traditional antibiotics.

ABSTRACT A recombinantly expressed nucleotide triphosphate transporter efficiently imports the triphosphates of unnatural nucleotides into cells, and the endogenous cellular machinery incorporates those nucleotides into cellular nucleic acids. UBPs can therefore form within the cell's nucleic acids. Moreover, neither the presence of the unnatural triphosphates nor the replication of the UBP represents a significant growth burden. The UBP is not efficiently excised by nucleic acid repair pathways, and therefore can be retained as long as the unnatural triphosphates are available in the growth medium. Thus, the resulting cell is the first organism to stably propagate an expanded genetic alphabet.

ABSTRACT A method for magnetic resonance imaging performs chemical shift encoded imaging to produce complex dual-echo images which are then applied (with imaging parameters) as input to a deep neural network to produce as output water-only and fat-only images. The deep neural network can be trained with ground truth water/fat images derived from chemical shift encoded images using a conventional water-fat separation algorithm such as projected power approach, IDEAL, or VARPRO. The chemical shift encoded imaging comprises performing an image acquisition with the MRI scanner via a spoiled-gradient echo sequence or a spin-echo sequence.

ABSTRACT Scan time in diffusion-relaxation magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) is reduced by implementing time-division multiplexing (TDM). In general, time-shifted radio frequency (“RF”) pulses are used to excite two or more imaging volumes. These RF pulses are applied to induce separate echoes for each slice. Diffusion MRI data can thus be acquired with different echo times, or alternatively with the same echo time, in significantly reduced overall scan time. Multidimensional correlations between diffusion and relaxation parameters can be estimated from the resulting data.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for analyzing pathologies utilizing quantitative imaging are presented herein. Advantageously, the systems and methods of the present disclosure utilize a hierarchical analytics framework that identifies and quantify biological properties/analytes from imaging data and then identifies and characterizes one or more pathologies based on the quantified biological properties/analytes. This hierarchical approach of using imaging to examine underlying biology as an intermediary to assessing pathology provides many analytic and processing advantages over systems and methods that are configured to directly determine and characterize pathology from underlying imaging data.

The EDA data may be indicative of one or more physiological signals derived from sweat gland activity of the user. Index values may be determined based on the EDA data. The index values may be compared to a threshold to determine if one or more of the values of the index value satisfies the threshold. Satisfying the threshold may indicate a pain in the user, a pain level for the user and/or a source of pain within the user. The indication may be caused to be output so that the user or others may be informed of an objective measurement of the pain in the user.

ABSTRACT Methods for modification of abnormal protein interactions manifested as excessive PACT-mediated PKR activation within cells are described. Methods include administration of luteolin to cells that exhibit dysregulation in PACT-mediated PKR activation. Methods can decrease or prevent excessive non-viral PACT-mediated PKR activation in a cell as may occur due to expression by the cell of a mutant PACT protein. Methods can decrease an abnormal prolonged stress response as may occur in the absence of a stress-inducing activity or agent.

ABSTRACT Embodiments relate to in-situ process monitoring of a part being made via additive manufacturing. The process can involve capturing computed tomography (CT) scans of a post-built part. A neural network (NN) can be used during the build of a new part to process multi-modal sensor data. Spatial and temporal registration techniques can be used to align the data to x,y,z coordinates on the build plate. During the build of the part, the multi-modal sensor data can be superimposed on the build plate. Machine learning can be used to train the NN to correlate the sensor data to a defect label or a non-defect label by looking to certain patterns in the sensor data at the x,y,z location to identify a defect in the CT scan at x,y,z. The NN can then be used to predict where defects are or will occur during an actual build of a part.

ABSTRACT A computer system (110) for part production using additive design receives a computer-aided design (CAD) file that describes physical dimensions of a target object (120). The computer system (110) identifies a physical boundary portion (300) of the target object within the CAD file. The computer system determines a target flow rate to infill the physical boundary portion (300) with the infill material. Additionally, the computer system (110) generates a first tool path to flow infill material into the physical boundary portion (300). Further, the computer system (110) sends instructions to a computer system in communication with a dispenser (100) that cause the dispenser to implement the first tool path while flowing the infill material into the physical boundary portion (300).

ABSTRACT Methods and apparatuses for making nanomaterials are disclosed. The methods involve passing one or more source materials through a high pressure and high temperature chamber with an open throat, and then allowing the reactants to expand into a lower pressure, lower temperature zone. The source material is non-stoichiometric and fuel-rich so that excess un-combusted primary source material can form the nanomaterials. In some cases, the apparatus may be in the form of a modified rocket engine. The methods may be used to make various materials including: carbon nanotubes, boron nitride nanomaterials, titanium dioxide, and any materials that are currently produced by flame synthesis, including but not limited to electrocatalysts. The methods may also be used to make nanomaterials outside the Earth's atmosphere. The methods can include making, coating, or repairing structures in space, such as antennae.

ABSTRACT An atmospheric distortion compensator comprising a disc and a rotator. The disc, which comprises a phase-modifying structure, is rotationally balanced about a center point. The rotator is mechanically coupled to the disc's center point and configured to spin the disc about an axis. When spinning, the disc is configured to control a property of a beam, which is propagating in parallel to the axis and impinging on the disc. By so doing, scintillation effects within an electro-optical field caused by propagation of the beam within a heterogeneous medium are reduced.

ABSTRACT Aspects of the present disclosure describe optical phased array structures and devices in which hyperbolic phase envelopes are employed to create focusing and diverging emissions in one and two dimensions. Tuning the phase fronts moves focal point spot in depth and across the array. Grating emitters are also used to emit light upward (out of plane). Adjusting the period of the gratings along the light propagation direction results in focusing the light emitted from the gratings. Changes in the operating wavelengths employed moves the focal spot along the emitters.

ABSTRACT This disclosure relates to a method and system for efficiently and analytically generating spectra associated with transitions between thermal states in a multi-mode bosonic system using a classical algorithm to compute Fourier components of the transition spectra of the multi-mode bosonic system based on a representation space sampling method inspired by quantum Gaussian boson sampling followed by an inverse Fourier transform. The disclosed method and system particularly apply to efficient estimation of molecular vibronic spectra. For example, an exact solution of the Fourier components of molecular vibronic spectra at zero temperature may be analytically computed in a representation space by using, for example, a positive P-representation of the multi-mode bosonic vibronic quantum states of the molecule. Such a method may be further applied to more general vibronic spectroscopy, such as computing molecular vibronic spectra at finite temperatures by introducing additional auxiliary bosonic modes and computing vibronic spectra associated with non-thermal states, such as Fock states.

ABSTRACT A system for identifying objects in images is provided. The system may include an optical front end and a digital back end. The optical front end includes a metalens that duplicates a received image into multiple images, and a metasurface that receives the duplicate images and outputs a feature map based on the received images. The feature map may be equivalent to the computationally expensive convolution operations previously performed by a neural network. The feature map is provided to the digital back end, which uses a neural network to classify the object. Because the feature map included the convolution operations, the digital back end can classify the object more quickly and using fewer computing resources than previous systems.

ABSTRACT Photodiodes configured to convert incident photons in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) to electric current, where the photodiodes have a PbS/PbClx core/shell nanocrystal absorber layer. The PbClx shell in the PbS/PbClx nanocrystals provide native passivation in the (100) crystal facets and enable removal of pre-device processing ligands and ligand exchange on the (111) crystal facets of the PbS/PbClx nanocrystals such that the photodiode exhibits reduced current densities under reverse bias and greater infrared photoresponse, providing improved device performance as compared to photodiodes having absorber layers formed from PbS core nanocrystals alone.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure provides advantageous sheet stabilized emulsion based inks, and improved methods for fabricating and using such inks. More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved methods for fabricating conductive inks derived from water-in-oil emulsions stabilized by sheets exfoliated from layered materials (e.g., substantially pristine and non-oxidized graphite or hexagonal boron nitride), and related methods of use. A layered material (e.g., substantially pristine and non-oxidized graphite or hexagonal boron nitride) can be exfoliated into individual sheets, and these sheets can be utilized to stabilize water-in-oil emulsions. In certain embodiments, by utilizing long chain alkanes (e.g., hexadecane), one can advantageously fabricate emulsions with high viscosity and stability. In this form, the emulsions can be used as inks, thereby advantageously providing an inexpensive route to printing electrically conducting and/or insulating lines and shapes.

ABSTRACT A neural network architecture is used that reduces the processing load of implementing the neural network. This network architecture may thus be used for reduced-bit processing devices. The architecture may limit the number of bits used for processing and reduce processing to prevent data overflow at individual calculations of the neural network. To implement this architecture, the number of bits used to represent inputs at levels of the network and the related filter masks may also be modified to ensure the number of bits of the output does not overflow the resulting capacity of the reduced-bit processor. To additionally reduce the load for such a network, the network may implement a “starconv” structure that permits the incorporation of nearby nodes in a layer to balance processing requirements and permit the network to learn from context of other nodes.

ABSTRACT This disclosure relates to a method and system for efficiently and analytically generating spectra associated with transitions between thermal states in a multi-mode bosonic system using a classical algorithm to compute Fourier components of the transition spectra of the multi-mode bosonic system based on a representation space sampling method inspired by quantum Gaussian boson sampling followed by an inverse Fourier transform. The disclosed method and system particularly apply to efficient estimation of molecular vibronic spectra. For example, an exact solution of the Fourier components of molecular vibronic spectra at zero temperature may be analytically computed in a representation space by using, for example, a positive P-representation of the multi-mode bosonic vibronic quantum states of the molecule. Such a method may be further applied to more general vibronic spectroscopy, such as computing molecular vibronic spectra at finite temperatures by introducing additional auxiliary bosonic modes and computing vibronic spectra associated with non-thermal states, such as Fock states.

ABSTRACT Coils for superconducting magnets and methods of making coils for superconducting magnets and controlling the turn-to-turn contact resistance of coils. The coils include a REBCO superconducting tape coated with a layer of tin-lead solder, co-wound with an oxidized stainless steel tape. The inclusion of tin-lead solder on the REBCO tape and a layer of oxidation on the stainless steel tape advantageously allow for tuning of the turn-to-turn contact resistance of the coil, and advantageously mitigates the effect of repeated pressure cycling on the turn-to-turn contact resistance.

ABSTRACT This disclosure relates to a method and system for efficiently and analytically generating spectra associated with transitions between thermal states in a multi-mode bosonic system using a classical algorithm to compute Fourier components of the transition spectra of the multi-mode bosonic system based on a representation space sampling method inspired by quantum Gaussian boson sampling followed by an inverse Fourier transform. The disclosed method and system particularly apply to efficient estimation of molecular vibronic spectra. For example, an exact solution of the Fourier components of molecular vibronic spectra at zero temperature may be analytically computed in a representation space by using, for example, a positive P-representation of the multi-mode bosonic vibronic quantum states of the molecule. Such a method may be further applied to more general vibronic spectroscopy, such as computing molecular vibronic spectra at finite temperatures by introducing additional auxiliary bosonic modes and computing vibronic spectra associated with non-thermal states, such as Fock states.

ABSTRACT Described herein are devices and methods that utilize three-dimensional topological semimetals (including Dirac, Weyl and nodal line) that may be useful in advanced electronic devices. The Fermi level in three dimensional topological semimetals can be significantly shifted in energy when forming a heterojunction with a semiconductor or metal. This has unintended and sometimes negative consequences for device performance. Described herein are designs and methods to modify the heterostructures to either suppress Fermi level movement or to produce an intentional shift to allow for the use of these improved semimetal devices.

ABSTRACT A neural network architecture is used that reduces the processing load of implementing the neural network. This network architecture may thus be used for reduced-bit processing devices. The architecture may limit the number of bits used for processing and reduce processing to prevent data overflow at individual calculations of the neural network. To implement this architecture, the number of bits used to represent inputs at levels of the network and the related filter masks may also be modified to ensure the number of bits of the output does not overflow the resulting capacity of the reduced-bit processor. To additionally reduce the load for such a network, the network may implement a “starconv” structure that permits the incorporation of nearby nodes in a layer to balance processing requirements and permit the network to learn from context of other nodes.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for analyzing pathologies utilizing quantitative imaging are presented herein. Advantageously, the systems and methods of the present disclosure utilize a hierarchical analytics framework that identifies and quantify biological properties/analytes from imaging data and then identifies and characterizes one or more pathologies based on the quantified biological properties/analytes. This hierarchical approach of using imaging to examine underlying biology as an intermediary to assessing pathology provides many analytic and processing advantages over systems and methods that are configured to directly determine and characterize pathology from underlying imaging data.

ABSTRACT A method of administering interstitial photodynamic therapy to a target region of a patient may include receiving information associated with the target region, an initial photosensitizer concentration, a plurality of initial photosensitizer photokinetic rate parameters, and a threshold treatment dose for a photosensitizer, the threshold treatment dose being a threshold photodynamic therapy-dose or a threshold reactive oxygen species dose. A location in the target region for inserting at least one interstitial treatment fiber to deliver the treatment light, and initial values for treatment light transmission is determined. Computational spatial elements are determined for the target region and for the location of emitting surfaces of the at least one interstitial treatment fiber, and a light fluence rate for delivering treatment light to each of the computational spatial elements. A treatment dose is determined based on the light fluence rate, the plurality of photosensitizer photokinetic rate parameters, and a photokinetic rate equation.

ABSTRACT A system provides descriptor-based feature matching during terrain relative navigation (TRN). A scale and orientation (SO) module acquires a source image, image and slope pixel windows, and ring mask. The SO module combines corresponding pixels from the image pixel window and the slope pixel window to generate intermediate values, accumulates the intermediate values into ring accumulators, sums the accumulated values to generate a final ring value, and determines an orientation stability measure, and final scale and orientation values. An extract descriptors (ED) module acquires the source image, the image and slope pixel windows, final scale and orientation values, sector values, and a rink mask value. The ED module identifies pixels of interest, reorients the sector values. combines corresponding pixels from the image pixel window and the slope pixel window, accumulates and normalizes the intermediate values, and generates an image feature descriptor per coordinate.

The method includes collecting information, wherein detection values respectively matched to time points successive in time series are continuously collected, dividing sections, wherein a reference section is set, and remaining time points is divided into a correction section, calculating an equation, wherein a time point of the reference section and a detection value matched thereto are respectively set as a reference time point and a reference value, performing correction, wherein correction values calculated according to a time interval are calculated, verifying accuracy, wherein whether a ratio of the time points of the correction section to the time points is less than or equal to a preset allowable ratio is checked, and storing the data, wherein the reference value, equation, detection values or correction values, and correspondingly matched time points are stored as the data for the reference section and correction section.

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, July 27, 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?
