ABSTRACT | Cancer-testis antigens were simultaneously packaged with CpG adjuvant and incorporated into an E2 nanoparticle platform to increase cancer vaccine efficacy. Also described herein is a combination of checkpoint blockade therapy and the nanoparticle vaccine platform to deliver cancer antigens with adjuvant for treatment of tumors and prevention of future tumors. The nanoparticle vaccine platform includes a protein capsule to which are attached adjuvants in the internal hollow cavity and cancer epitopes to the surface. Whereas single-therapies only increase survival, the combined therapy can both increase survival time as well as prevent tumor development in pre-existing tumor conditions by increasing tumor antigen-specific responses (via the nanoparticle vaccines) while simultaneously blocking checkpoints to remove immune suppression (via immune checkpoint inhibition). Furthermore, tumor rechallenge studies show evidence of T cell memory which can prevent tumor development in some individuals. |

ABSTRACT | This invention relates to methods and devices that improve cell culture efficiency. They include the use of gas permeable culture compartments that reduce the use of space while maintaining uniform culture conditions, and are more suitable for automated liquid handling. They include the integration of gas permeable materials into the traditional multiple shelf format to resolve the problem of non-uniform culture conditions. They include culture devices that use surfaces comprised of gas permeable, plasma charged silicone and can integrate traditional attachment surfaces, such as those comprised of traditional tissue culture treated polystyrene. They include culture devices that integrate gas permeable, liquid permeable membranes. A variety of benefits accrue, including more optimal culture conditions during scale up and more efficient use of inventory space, incubator space, and disposal space. Furthermore, labor and contamination risk are reduced. |

ABSTRACT | Liver metabolism studies are limited by the inability to expand primary hepatocytes in vitro while maintaining their metabolic functions. Human hepatic three dimensional organoids have been established for use in these studies, but hepatic organoids from adult donors had impaired expansion. Methods of achieving expansion of adult donor-derived hepatic organoids (HepAOs) and HepG2 cells (HepGOs) from single cells in organoid cultures using combinations of growth factors and small molecules are described, with assessment of expansion dynamics, gluconeogenic and HNF4α expression, and albumin secretion. The invention discloses conditions including limiting A8301 and incorporating FSK and OSM to allow the expansion of HepAOs from adult donors and HepGOs with gluconeogenic competence. These models increase the repertoire of human hepatic cellular tools available for use in liver metabolic assays. |

ABSTRACT | A machine learning method for model-free inference of target physical parameters from a metrology dataset is generally disclosed. The disclosed method is particularly applied to atomic interferometry for sensing/measuring physical quantities such as acceleration and rotations from measured atomic interference patterns. The method operates without a need for an exact measurement-dependent mathematical/analytical model and without a need for explicit knowledge of instrumental error processes that affect the measurement. The disclosed method is based on neural networks that are trained or calibrated to learn to simultaneously estimate the target physical quantities of interest and their measurement uncertainties. It extends the applicability of a metrology when instrumental precision is limited, and noise and imperfections are present. |

ABSTRACT | A method and system that harnesses extremely weak Kerr-type nonlinearities in a single driven cavity to deterministically generate single photon Fock states, and more general photon-blockaded states are disclosed. The disclosed scheme is effective even for nonlinearities that are much smaller than photonic loss in the cavity. The disclosed scheme generates photon-blockade states that are non-Gaussian, exhibit a sharp cut-off in their photon number distribution, and can be arbitrarily close to, for example, a single-photon Fock state. This scheme relies only standard linear and parametric drives, and are hence compatible with a variety of different photonic platforms. |

ABSTRACT | Methodologies and corresponding systems for a Local adaptive fusion regression (LAFR) process are able to search a large library of spectral measurement for a linear calibration (training) set, which is spectrally matrix matched to a target sample spectrum, and also tightly bracketed about an “unknown” prediction property (analyte) for the target sample. Using a matched calibration set, the likelihood of an accurate prediction by the selected calibration set is greatly enhanced. The LAFR process integrates multiple spectral similarity information with contextual considerations between source analyte contents, model, and analyte predictions. LAFR facilitates onsite chemical analysis such as with a handheld spectrometer, dedicated in-line process analyzers and benchtop instruments. LAFR is based on a Beer’s law like linear relationship where a calibration model (mathematical relationship) is made that linearly relates the analyte amount, e.g., concentration, to the measured spectral responses. The calibration model is then used to predict (quantitate) the analyte amounts present in new samples. |

ABSTRACT | Situational awareness as a necessity in connected and autonomous vehicles domain is a subject of significant research in recent years. The driver’s safety is directly dependent on robustness, reliability and scalability of such systems. Cooperative mechanisms have provided a solution to improve situational awareness by utilizing communication networks. These mechanisms mitigate problems such as occlusion and sensor range limitation. However, the network capacity is a factor determining the maximum amount of information being shared among cooperative entities. A focus of this work is to reduce the network capacity requirements while maintaining the desirable object detection performance by utilizing and modifying the concept of feature sharing. Described here is a mechanism to further improve object detection performance by utilizing novel decentralized parallel frameworks and anew shared data alignment method to allow parallel and cooperative processing of sensed data in multiple locations yielding significant improvements in object detection. |

ABSTRACT | A system defining a visual sensing pipeline architecture flexibly allows application developers to dynamically adapt the spatial resolution and update rate of different “rhythmic pixel encoding regions” in a scene. The system ingests pixel streams with raster-scan pixel read-out patterns, but only encodes relevant pixels prior to storing them in memory. The system includes streaming hardware to decode the stored rhythmic pixel encoding region stream into traditional frame-based representations to feed into standard computer vision algorithms. |

ABSTRACT | A sensor system includes a probe, and a photon source configured to direct photons at the probe. The probe can emit light in response to receiving photons. The sensor system can include a photodetector configured to detect the light emitted from the probe, and a configured to cause the photon source to emit photons according to a first time-varying intensity profile having a first frequency. The controller can be configured to receive optical data from the photodetector based on the interaction between the light emitted from the probe and the photodetector. The optical data can include a second time-varying intensity profile having a second frequency. The second frequency can be substantially the same as the first frequency. The controller can be configured to determine a difference in phase between the first time-varying intensity profile and the second time-varying intensity profile, and generate a report based on the difference in phase. |

ABSTRACT | A machine learning method for model-free inference of target physical parameters from a metrology dataset is generally disclosed. The disclosed method is particularly applied to atomic interferometry for sensing/measuring physical quantities such as acceleration and rotations from measured atomic interference patterns. The method operates without a need for an exact measurement-dependent mathematical/analytical model and without a need for explicit knowledge of instrumental error processes that affect the measurement. The disclosed method is based on neural networks that are trained or calibrated to learn to simultaneously estimate the target physical quantities of interest and their measurement uncertainties. It extends the applicability of a metrology when instrumental precision is limited, and noise and imperfections are present. |

ABSTRACT | The disclosure describes various aspects of optical control of atomic quantum bits (qubits) for phase control operations. More specifically, the disclosure describes methods for coherently controlling quantum phases on atomic qubits mediated by optical control fields, applying to quantum logic gates, and generalized interactions between qubits. Various attributes and settings of optical/qubit interactions (e.g., atomic energy structure, laser beam geometry, polarization, spectrum, phase, background magnetic field) are identified for imprinting and storing phase in qubits. The disclosure further describes how these control attributes are best matched in order to control and stabilize qubit interactions and allow extended phase-stable quantum gate sequences. |

ABSTRACT | A method and system that harnesses extremely weak Kerr-type nonlinearities in a single driven cavity to deterministically generate single photon Fock states, and more general photon-blockaded states are disclosed. The disclosed scheme is effective even for nonlinearities that are much smaller than photonic loss in the cavity. The disclosed scheme generates photon-blockade states that are non-Gaussian, exhibit a sharp cut-off in their photon number distribution, and can be arbitrarily close to, for example, a single-photon Fock state. This scheme relies only standard linear and parametric drives, and are hence compatible with a variety of different photonic platforms. |

ABSTRACT | A photodetector interface circuit is described, residing partially or fully within a unit cell per pixel of an FPA. The interface circuit uses an innovative approach to providing pixel level digitization for full frame integration times while maintaining the ability to use integration capacitors of practical sizes. The technique uses successive charge subtraction, removing charge from an integration capacitor successively, triggered by the charge increasing sufficiently to charge the integrator to a reference level, thereby triggering both charge removal and incrementing a count, until all of the current flowing in the photodetector has been accounted for and the count represents the digitization of the photodetector signal. Various options on how to arrange the digitization elements are also disclosed. |

ABSTRACT | An ultra-wide bandwidth acoustic transducer may include multiple layers, including an inner piezoelectric layer, a polymer coupling layer and an outer piezoelectric layer. The polymer layer may be located between, and may be bonded to, the inner and outer piezoelectric layers. The transducer may have multiple eigenfrequencies of vibration. These eigenfrequencies may include primary resonant frequencies of the inner and outer piezoelectric layers respectively and may also include resonant frequencies that arise due to coupling between the layers. An acoustic backscatter system may employ such a transducer in backscatter nodes as well as in a transmitter. The multiple eigenfrequencies may enable the system to perform spread-spectrum communication at a high throughput. These multiple eigenfrequencies may also enable each backscatter node to shift frequency of an uplink signal, which in turn may enable the system to mitigate self-interference and to decode concurrent signals from multiple backscatter nodes. |

ABSTRACT | One of the biggest challenges for all renewable energy sources (RES) is that they are variable power generators which will require reactive power or energy storage systems (ESS) to provide reliable power quality (ideally power factor of one) at the power grid generation side. The present invention is directed to a power packet network (PPN) for integrating wave energy converter (WEC) arrays into microgrids. Specifically, an array of WECs can be physically positioned such that the incoming regular waves will produce an output emulating an N-phase AC system such that the PPN output power is constant. ESS requirements are thereby minimized whilst maintaining grid stability with high power quality. This will enable RES integration onto a future smart grid for large-scale adoption and cost reduction while preserving high efficiency, reliability, and resiliency. |

ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are solar cells with kesterite-based absorbers that hold promise as a low-cost and durable technology to renewably produce electricity using solar energy conversion. The current state-of-the-art (SOA) for such kesterite solar cells is Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 and novel materials are required to suppress the formation bandgap-fluctuation- and charge-carrier-recombination-inducing defects and eventually to achieve solar cell efficiencies higher than the SOA. Three important material properties that govern the efficiency of a solar cell are the concentrations of performance-degrading defects, band gap, and chemical stability. Disclosed here is a stable material, specifically Cu2CdGe(S,Se)4, as a new candidate that can exhibit higher defect formation energies than Cu2ZnSnS4 and a nearly optimal bandgap, which can eventually result in higher solar-cell efficiencies in solar energy conversion. |

ABSTRACT | The disclosure describes various aspects of optical control of atomic quantum bits (qubits) for phase control operations. More specifically, the disclosure describes methods for coherently controlling quantum phases on atomic qubits mediated by optical control fields, applying to quantum logic gates, and generalized interactions between qubits. Various attributes and settings of optical/qubit interactions (e.g., atomic energy structure, laser beam geometry, polarization, spectrum, phase, background magnetic field) are identified for imprinting and storing phase in qubits. The disclosure further describes how these control attributes are best matched in order to control and stabilize qubit interactions and allow extended phase-stable quantum gate sequences. |

ABSTRACT | A system can include a controller that can generate a query request in response to an instantaneous roll angle of a vertical take off and landing (VTOL) aircraft being equal to or greater than a roll angle threshold. The instantaneous roll angle being equal to or greater than the roll angle threshold can indicate that the VTOL aircraft has deviated or is about to deviate from a current stable aircraft state. A database can provide propeller control data identifying a propeller speed profile for at least one propeller of the VTOL aircraft in response to the query request. The database can store different propeller speed profiles for at least some propellers of the VTOL aircraft for respective roll angles. The controller can cause the at least one propeller of the VTOL aircraft to rotate at the propeller speed to return the VTOL aircraft to the stable aircraft state. |

ABSTRACT | A pressure collet that operably engages with a die in which the pressure collet is configured to land on predetermined positions of the die without damaging said die, a perform, or a heat spreader during a reflow process. The pressure collet further comprises a plate that has a mounting surface and a plurality of contact pads that operably engages with the mounting surface of the plate. The plurality of contact pads is configured to apply pressure to predetermined positions of a die without the mounting surface of the plate contacting the die during a reflow process. The plate of the pressure collet is also formed of a first material and the plurality of contact pads are formed of a second material different than the first material. |

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, August 24, 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.
