ABSTRACT An aortic aneurysm carries increasing risk of rupture with growing aneurysm diameter. This condition is typically asymptomatic, so screening and surveillance are essential. Ultrasound and other imaging methods are employed for such monitoring at high accuracy. However, these methods require an expert and are expensive. Aortic aneurysms are considerably under-detected at present and may become even more under-detected in the future as the disease prevalence increases with societal aging. This disclosure present devices that are convenient in use and cost for aortic aneurysm screening and surveillance.

ABSTRACT Compositions for enhanced gene editing and methods of use thereof are. The composition contains a cell-penetrating antibody and a donor oligonucleotide containing a sequence that can correct a mutation in a cell's genome. Preferably, the composition does not contain a nuclease, PNA, or nanoparticle. The compositions are used to modify the genome of a cell by contacting the cell with an effective amount of the composition. Genomic modification occurs at a higher frequency both ex vivo and in vivo, when cells are contacted with the cell-penetrating antibody and donor oligonucleotide as compared to the absence of the cell-penetrating antibody.

ABSTRACT The present invention provides for single-molecule profiling of combinatorial protein modifications and single-molecule profiling of combinatorial protein modifications combined with single-molecule sequencing of protein/nucleic acids complexes. High-throughput single-molecule imaging was applied to decode combinatorial modifications on millions of individual nucleosomes from pluripotent stem cells and lineage-committed cells. Applicants identified bivalent nucleosomes with concomitant repressive and activating marks, as well as other combinatorial modification states whose prevalence varies with developmental potency. Applying genetic and chemical perturbations of chromatin enzymes show a preferential affect on nucleosomes harboring specific modification states. The present invention also combines this proteomic platform with single-molecule DNA sequencing technology to simultaneously determine the modification states and genomic positions of individual nucleosomes.

ABSTRACT Gene expression is measured in a sample of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from a subject and used to predict organ function recovery. A Function Recovery Potential (FRP) score is assigned to a sample that reflects the measured expression level of the genes identified herein in a direction associated with recovery from organ failure. Treatment of the subject with optimal medical management (OMM) and/or palliative care (PC) is advised when the FRP score is lower than the reference value, and referring the subject for treatment with therapies including—but not limited to—mechanical circulatory support (MCS) surgery, heart transplant (HTx) surgery, or other intervention for advanced heart failure is advised when the FRP score is greater than the reference value. A method for developing an FRP scoring algorithm that predicts a subject's ability to recover from medical intervention for organ failure is also described.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for 3D bioprinting of hydrogel voxels enable microfluidics-assisted digital assembly of spherical particles (DASP). The systems include a 3D motion system, a microfluidic printhead coupled to the 3D motion system, an extrusion device fluidly coupled to the microfluidic printhead, and a sacrificial support matrix. The sacrificial support matrix is designed to support the hydrogel voxels during printing and cross-link the hydrogel voxels. The system includes bio-inks comprising hydrogel compositions having independently controllable viscoelasticity and mesh size. The bio-inks are extruded by the extrusion device and microfluidic printhead to produce the hydrogel voxels. Exploiting the microfluidic printhead enables printing individual spherical hydrogel voxels with diameters from 150 micrometers (μm) to 1200 μm. Positioning and interconnection of the hydrogel voxels can be precisely controlled. The systems and methods produce free-standing 3D structures and can be used for producing functional tissue mimics.

ABSTRACT In one or more embodiments, the present invention provides am method of making a poly(propylene fumarate-co-succinate) (PPFS) copolymer containing a random incorporation of succinate groups and targetable reduction profiles without the need for three or more monomer units. To achieve this, a time-dependent sonication-promoted zinc/acetic acid reduction of the PPM unsaturated double bonds has been used to create a random PPMS copolymer which may be isomerized into the PPFS equivalent. By changing the sonication time as well as the ratios of acetic acid, zinc, and PPM unsaturated alkenes, partial reduction of the PPM alkenes has been shown to give PPMS products containing varying compositions of succinic and maleate units, which may then be isomerized to the PPFS product.

ABSTRACT NetCast is an optical neural network architecture that circumvents constraints on deep neural network (DNN) inference at the edge. Many DNNs have weight matrices that are too large to run on edge processors, leading to limitations on DNN inference at the edge or bandwidth bottlenecks between the edge and server that hosts the DNN. With NetCast, a weight server stores the DNN weight matrix in local memory, modulates the weights onto different spectral channels of an optical carrier, and distributes the weights to one or more clients via optical links. Each client stores the activations, or layer inputs, for the DNN and computes the matrix-vector product of those activations with the weights from the weight server in the optical domain. This multiplication can be performed coherently by interfering the spectrally multiplexed weights with spectrally multiplexed activations or incoherently by modulating the weight signal from the weight server with the activations.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure provides a DC mechanical circuit breaker that can utilize two switches, one of which can generate zero-crossing with an alternate oscillatory circuit for the other one, which can be a conventional zero-crossing-based AC breaker and can be used in the main circuit. This is different from the conventional single-switch commute-and-absorb method currently used. The present disclosure shows that disclosed circuit breaker improves the fault current extinction and significantly reduces the voltage rate-of-change while creating the current zero-crossing faster compared to the available technology. Thus, disclosed circuit breaker is capable of interrupting high DC currents with minimal arc through a less expensive AC circuit breaker. Simulation and hardware results are provided to show the efficiency of the disclosed circuit breaker.

ABSTRACT Systems, apparatus, and methods for channel estimation and data detection. In one exemplary embodiment, the data is obtained in a two-phase transmission structure that alternates known data with unknown data according to a regular or otherwise pre-determined time interval. Then, the receiver iteratively updates a postulated channel, and provides a predicted channel to the next time slot. Conceptually, the exemplary techniques iteratively improve its postulates for channel condition and data over multiple time slots. More directly, instead of linear detection and decoding of a pilot for channel estimation in each time slot, the exemplary techniques described herein use postulated channel conditions to attempt data detection and use the recovered data from data detection (unknown data) to re-postulate the channel conditions, etc. until channel conditions are stable and/or the next time slot is ready for processing.

ABSTRACT Polytetrafluoroethylene filled with FeCo microparticles provides an ultralow wear, magnetic, multifunctional tribological material. For example, PTFE filled with an 5 wt. % of equiatomic, prealloyed FeCo powder resulted in steady state wear rates of 2.7×10−7 mm3/Nm, approaching that of PTFE-filled alumina. Comparable wear rates were not recovered for PTFE filled with just iron or cobalt microparticles.

ABSTRACT The use of copper materials as a replacement for the more expensive coinage metals (i.e., silver, gold) in printed circuits has come to the forefront. For printing, the use of nanomaterials has allowed for significant advances through the use of nanoinks. Unfortunately, as the nanoregime is entered, the increased surface area leads to increased reactivity with atmospheric oxygen which results in a reduction in the conductivity of the printed circuits. To overcome this issue, a synthesis method uses a room temperature reduction of a copper organometallic precursor by the simple addition of catechol-based surfactants to prevent oxidation and agglomeration of the final copper nanoparticles. The selection of these catechol-based surfactants is based on non-aqueous solubility, high surface affinity, and anti-oxidative potential as surface ligands.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are functional materials for use in additive manufacturing (AM). The functional material can comprise an elastomeric composition (e.g., a silicone composite) for use in, for example, direct ink writing. The elastomeric composition can include and elastomeric resin, and a magnetic nanorod filler dispersed within the elastomeric resin. Nanorod characteristics (e.g., length, diameter, aspect ratio) can be selected to create 3D-printed constructs with desired mechanical properties along different axes. Furthermore, since nickel nanorods are ferromagnetic, the spatial distribution and orientation of nanorods within the continuous phase can be controlled with an external magnetic field. This level of control over the nanostructure of the material system offers another degree of freedom in the design of functional parts and components with anisotropic properties. Magnetic fields can be used to remotely sense compression of the constructs, or alternatively, control the stiffness of these materials.

ABSTRACT An acoustic imaging system responsive to an acoustic wave emitted from an object is disclosed. The system detects a deflection angle of an electromagnetic probe beam as it passes through a coupling element. The coupling element also couples the acoustic wave emitted from the object to an acoustic detector. The probe beam deflection angle is related to an angle of propagation of the acoustic wave through the coupling element. A filtering unit is configured to remove components of the signal from the acoustic detector that are outside of a range of angles, thereby improving the angular resolution of the acoustic detector. The acoustic wave may be generated by an acoustic source, such as an ultrasound transmitter, or an electromagnetic source such as a laser.

ABSTRACT A method of establishing a system for gathering surveillance data in a hostile environment. The method comprises the steps of providing a movable tractor for ground hauling a trailer, and providing a drone which can be operated independently from the tractor. The trailer has a floor pan for supporting a relay sensor dispensing mechanism and a platform above the floor pan, with a hole for dispensing relay sensors therethrough. The relay sensor dispensing mechanism has an elevator for holding a stockpile of relay sensors, and elevating the relay sensors through the hole. The method comprises disposing at least one relay sensor in the elevator, elevating the relay sensor to a pickup position at or above the platform and retrieving the relay sensor with a drone for subsequent deposition in the hostile environment. The relay sensor then gathers and transceives surveillance data for use and interpretation by an operator. Optional a conveyor chute may replenish the elevator when it is depleted of relay sensors.

ABSTRACT One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. In an example, a method includes tuning a sensor comprising a first resonator having an effective gain, a second resonator having an effective loss, and a coupling circuit connected between the first resonator and the second resonator at an extrema degeneracy point with a nonlinear response to a force applied to the sensor. At least one of the first resonator, the second resonator, or the coupling circuit comprises a variable capacitor having a capacitance that varies as a function of the force. The method comprises injecting an input signal into one of the first resonator or the second resonator, receiving an output signal from one of the first resonator or the second resonator, and determining a magnitude of a force based on a difference between a first frequency extrema point and a second frequency extrema point in the output signal.

ABSTRACT A method, apparatus and system including the execution of an accelerated optimization method. According to an exemplary embodiment, the accelerated optimization method includes: first-order optimality conditions for a generic nonlinear optimization problem are generated as part of the terminal transversality conditions of an optimal control problem. It is shown that the Lagrangian of the optimization problem is connected to the Hamiltonian of the optimal control problem via a zero-Hamiltonian, infinite-order, singular arc. The necessary conditions for the singular optimal control problem are used to produce an auxiliary controllable dynamical system whose trajectories generate algorithm primitives for the optimization problem. A three-step iterative map for a generic algorithm is designed by a semi-discretization step. Neither the feedback control law nor the differential equation governing the algorithm need be derived explicitly. A search direction is produced by a proximal-aiming-type method that dissipates a control Lyapunov function. New step size procedures based on minimizing control Lyapunov functions along a search vector complete the design of the accelerated optimization algorithms.

ABSTRACT NetCast is an optical neural network architecture that circumvents constraints on deep neural network (DNN) inference at the edge. Many DNNs have weight matrices that are too large to run on edge processors, leading to limitations on DNN inference at the edge or bandwidth bottlenecks between the edge and server that hosts the DNN. With NetCast, a weight server stores the DNN weight matrix in local memory, modulates the weights onto different spectral channels of an optical carrier, and distributes the weights to one or more clients via optical links. Each client stores the activations, or layer inputs, for the DNN and computes the matrix-vector product of those activations with the weights from the weight server in the optical domain. This multiplication can be performed coherently by interfering the spectrally multiplexed weights with spectrally multiplexed activations or incoherently by modulating the weight signal from the weight server with the activations.

ABSTRACT According to various embodiments, systems and methods are provided for enabling parties to create, define, buy, and sell usage rights in radio frequency (RF) ranges, e.g., via a computerized trading exchange. The usage rights may comprise exclusive or shared ownership or lease interests. A government or other entity may initially offer on the exchange usage rights in radio frequencies owned or controlled by the government. The usage rights may be sold to market participants, e.g., through a competitive bidding process such as a reverse auction, Dutch auction, RFQ, or other methodology. Such rights may be transferred subject to government use, e.g., in emergency situations. Information associated with offered RF usage rights such as historical usage data, geographical reach, and available RF equipment may be published on the exchange. The exchange may also enable secondary trading of usage rights.

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 31, 2023.

The FedInvent Weekly Patent Details Page contains a subset of patent information to provide a deeper dive into the week's taxpayer-funded patents to help the reader better understand where a patent fits in the federal innovation ecosphere.

HOW IS THE INFORMATION ORGANIZED?

Patents are organized by the funding agency. Within each group, the patents are organized in numeric order. A patent funded by more than one agency will appear in the section of each of the agencies that funded the research and development that resulted in the invention. This approach gives the reader a complete view of the department or agency activity for the week.

WHAT INFORMATION WILL I FIND?

THE PANEL
There is a panel for each patent that contains the patent number and the title of the patent. When you click the panel, it opens to reveal the following information:

FUNDED BY
The agencies that funded the grants, contracts, or other research agreements that resulted in the patent. FedInvent includes as much information on the source of the funding as possible. The information is presented in a hierarchy going from the Federal Department down to the agencies, subagencies, and offices that funded the work. Here are two examples:

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
     National Institutes of Health (NIH)
         National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

Department of Defense (DOD)
     Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
         Army Research Office (ARO)

We do our best to provide detailed information about the funding. In some cases, the patent only reports limited information on the origins of the funding. FedInvents presents what it can confirm. We add the patents without the information required by the Bayh-Dole Act to our list of patents worthy of further investigation.

APPLICANT(S) and ASSIGNEES
FedInvent includes both the Applicants and the Assignees because having both provides more information about where the inventive work was done and by what organizations. Many organizations — universities, corporations, and federal agencies — standardize the Assignee/Owner information by the time a patent is granted. In the case of federal patents, many of the patents use the agency headquarters information for patent assignment.

Showing just the headquarters address would make Washington, DC the epicenter of all taxpayer-funded research and development. Providing both the applicant information and the assignee information provides a more accurate picture of where important taxpayer-funded innovation is happening in America. Here are two examples from two different patents:

APPLICANT: U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD
ASSIGNEE: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army Washington, DC

APPLICANT: Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)
ASSIGNEE(S): The Regents of the University of California (Oakland, California); Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)

INVENTOR(S)
The inventors appear in the same order as they appear on the patent. FedInvents presents the names in first name/last name order because they are easier to read than the last name/first name order of the names on the USPTO patent documents.

ABSTRACT
The abstract is presented as it appears on the patent.

FILED
The date the patent application including the day of the week.

APPL NO
This is the patent application serial number. If you’d like to learn more about how application serial numbers work you can go to the Lists Page.

ART UNIT
Patent data includes the Art Unit where a patent was examined. (The Art Unit isn’t available for published patent applications.) The Art Unit provides insight into what group of patent examiners prosecuted the patent application and the subject matter that the examiners work on. For example:

3793 — Medical Instruments, Diagnostic Equipment, and Treatment Devices

You can learn more about ART UNITS on the FedInvent Patents Weekly panel called About Tech Center or you can find information on the FedInvent Lists Page.

CURRENT CPC
Current CPC provides a list of the Cooperative Patent Classification symbols assigned to the patent. These are the CPC symbols assigned at the time the patent was granted.

The FedInvent Project is a patent classification maximalist endeavor or put another way, we believe that the more you understand about patent classification the more you'll learn about the nature of the invention and the types of work that the federal government is funding.

The symbol presented in BOLD is the symbol identified as the "first" classification which is the most relevant classification on the patent. The date that follows the symbol is the date of the most recent revision to the art classed there.

  • A61B 1/149 (20130101)
  • A61B 1/71 (20130101)
  • A61B 1/105 (20130101)

The CPC symbols match the classifications found on the PDF version of the patent. Over time, the classifications on the full text version of the patent change to reflect how USPTO organizes patent art to support its examiners. The two sets of CPCs don’t always match.

VIEW PATENT
As of June 2021, we include two ways to view a patent at USPTO. FedInvent provides a link to the Full-Text Version of the patent and a link to the PDF version of the patent.

HOW DO I FIND A SPECIFIC PATENT ON A PAGE?

You can use the Command F or Control F to find a specific patent you are interested in.

HOW DO I GET HERE?

You navigate to the details of a patent by clicking the information icon that follows a patent on the FedInvent Patents Weekly Report.

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