ABSTRACT | Modulation of inward potassium ion conductance with structurally diverse small-molecules in the arthropod salivary gland induces arthropod salivary gland failure that results in a reduction or elimination in the ability of the arthropod to feed. Administering Kir channel inhibitors reduces food intake, increases feeding time, reduces salivary gland secretion, induces mortality, and reduces transmission of vector-borne pathogens. Kir channel inhibitors induce these adverse effects in ticks, mosquitoes, horn flies, and aphids. |

ABSTRACT | A gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based biosensor device for wearable biosensing applications is disclosed. An exemplary capacitive tactile sensor with GelMA used as the core dielectric layer is disclosed. A robust chemical bonding and a reliable encapsulation approach are introduced to overcome detachment and water-evaporation issues in hydrogel biosensors. The resultant GelMA tactile sensor shows a high-pressure sensitivity of 0.19 kPa−1 and one order of magnitude lower limit of detection (0.1 Pa) compared to previous hydrogel pressure sensors owing to its excellent mechanical and electrical properties (e.g., dielectric constant). Furthermore, it shows durability up to 3,000 test cycles because of tough chemical bonding, and long-term stability of three (3) days due to the inclusion of an encapsulation layer, which prevents water evaporation (e.g., 80% water content). Successful monitoring of various human physiological and motion signals demonstrates the potential of the GelMA biosensor device for wearable biosensing applications. |

ABSTRACT | Compositions for improved gene editing and methods of use thereof are disclosed. In a preferred method, gene editing involves use of a cell-penetrating anti-DNA antibody, such as 3E10, as a potentiating agent to enhance gene editing by nucleases and triplex forming oligonucleotides. Genomic modification occurs at a higher frequency when cells are contacted with the potentiating agent and nuclease or triplex forming oligonucleotide, as compared to the absence of the potentiating agent. The methods are suitable for both ex vivo and in vivo approaches to gene editing and are useful for treating a subject with a genetic disease or disorder. Nanoparticle compositions for intracellular delivery of the gene editing compositions are provided and are particularly advantageous for use with in vivo applications. |

ABSTRACT | Optimized bio-synchronous drug delivery begins with establishing a bio-synchronous treatment protocol that incorporates individual temporal and innate biological characteristics into a pharmacological treatment plan. The bio-synchronous treatment protocol is thereafter initiated using bioactive agent delivery device. Bio-synchronous drug delivery includes continual collection of patient data such as physical, psychological, temporal and environmental characteristics. This data is analyzed so to not only determine an initial treatment protocol but to also determining whether modification to the ongoing bio-synchronous treatment protocol is required. And, responsive to determining a modification is required the system modifies the bio-synchronous treatment protocol and use of delivery device. These modifications and treatment protocols can include reactive and proactive psychological support supplied to the patient in a variety of formats. |

ABSTRACT | The receptor EP4 is identified as the PGE2 receptor that is most responsible enhancing the homing and engraftment of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Treatment of graft sources and graft recipients with compounds that preferentially target the EP4 receptor provide effective methods of increasing engraftment success while minimizing adverse side effects that may Obe associated with therapies that include the use of less selective molecules such as PGE2 and dmPGE2. One effective molecule used in such therapies is 5-[(1E,3R)-4,4-ditluoro-3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-1-buten-1-yl]-1-[6-(2H-tetrazol-5R-yl)hexyl]-2-pyrrolidinone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (L-902, 685). |

ABSTRACT | Some aspects of this disclosure provide compositions, methods, systems, and kits for controlling the activity of RNA-programmable endonucleases, such as Cas9, or for controlling the activity of proteins comprising a Cas9 variant fused to a functional effector domain, such as a nuclease, nickase, recombinase, deaminase, transcriptional activator, transcriptional repressor, or epigenetic modifying domain. For example, the inventive proteins provided comprise a ligand-dependent intein, the presence of which inhibits one or more activities of the protein (e.g., gRNA binding, enzymatic activity, target DNA binding). The binding of a ligand to the intein results in self-excision of the intein, restoring the activity of the protein. |

ABSTRACT | Various examples are provided related to fingerphoto deblurring. In one example, a method includes generating, using a guided-attention (GA) mechanism, an intermediate feature map of a blurred image of a fingerprint and generating a deblurred image of the fingerprint based at least in part upon the intermediate feature map. The GA mechanism can generate the intermediate feature map by generating an attended feature map from an input feature map based upon a predicted attention map and adding the input feature map to the attended feature map. A system can include processing circuitry and a fingerphoto deblurring application that, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the processing circuitry to generate the intermediate feature map and generate the deblurred image. |

ABSTRACT | A Discriminative, Restorative, and Adversarial (DiRA) learning framework for self-supervised medical image analysis is described. For instance, a pre-trained DiRA framework may be applied to diagnosis and detection of new medical images which form no part of the training data. The exemplary DiRA framework includes means for receiving training data having medical images therein and applying discriminative learning, restorative learning, and adversarial learning via the DiRA framework by cropping patches from the medical images; inputting the cropped patches to the discriminative and restorative learning branches to generate discriminative latent features and synthesized images from each; and applying adversarial learning by executing an adversarial discriminator to perform a min-max function for distinguishing the synthesized restorative image from real medical images. The pre-trained model of the DiRA framework is then provided as output for use in generating predictions of disease within medical images. |

ABSTRACT | A computing device, method, system, and instructions in a non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing image analysis on 3D microscopy images to predict localization and/or labeling of various structures or objects of interest, by predicting the location in such images at which a dye or other marker associated with such structures would appear. The computing device, method, and system receives sets of 3D images that include unlabeled images, such as transmitted light images or electron microscope images, and labeled images, such as images captured with fluorescence tagging. The computing device trains a statistical model to associate structures in the labeled images with the same structures in the unlabeled light images. The processor further applies the statistical model to a new unlabeled image to generate a predictive labeled image that predicts the location of a structure of interest in the new image. |

ABSTRACT | System and methods for object segmentation include providing a pre-trained neural network model to segment object instances based on a first set of images and a first loss function. The neural network, for a pixel, can generate a gradient flow that points towards a center of an object structure and provides a probability score indicating a probability of the pixel belonging to the object structure. An adapted neural network model can be generated from the pre-trained neural network model to account for domain shifted new input images by training the pre-trained neural network model on a second set of images and a loss function that comprises a contrastive flow loss component and a contrastive mask loss component. |

ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides a device configured to be positioned within a prosthetic socket. The device includes a tether having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end of the tether is configured to be coupled to a prosthetic liner. The device also includes a spool fixed with respect to the prosthetic socket. The second end of the tether is coupled to the spool. The device also includes a motor and a battery configured to provide power to the motor. The device also includes a coupling mechanism configured to transition from a first position in which the spool is only able to rotate in a first direction to a second position in which the spool is able to rotate in the first direction and a second direction. The device also includes a release actuator positioned on an exterior of the prosthetic socket. Actuation of the release actuator causes the coupling mechanism to transition from the first position to the second position. The device also includes a tightening actuator positioned on the exterior of the prosthetic socket. Actuation of the tightening actuator causes the motor to rotate the spool in the first direction to wind the tether around the spool to thereby reduce a distance between the first end of the tether and the spool. |

ABSTRACT | Apparatus and method for decontaminating both contaminated waters and sorbent filter media, either separately or simultaneously, in a single system. Contaminants in a liquid flowing through a reaction chamber are removed by first generating a plasma within the liquid in the chamber, with the contaminants being broken into smaller particles at the interfaces between the generated plasma and the liquid. The combined plasma-liquid solution is then passed through a solid filter, which captures the smaller contaminant particles to decontaminate the liquid. To decontaminate the filter media, plasma flows through the filter material without the presence of liquid, the plasma reacting with the filter material to remove contaminants previously adsorbed by the filter. |

ABSTRACT | Some aspects of this disclosure provide compositions, methods, systems, and kits for controlling the activity of RNA-programmable endonucleases, such as Cas9, or for controlling the activity of proteins comprising a Cas9 variant fused to a functional effector domain, such as a nuclease, nickase, recombinase, deaminase, transcriptional activator, transcriptional repressor, or epigenetic modifying domain. For example, the inventive proteins provided comprise a ligand-dependent intein, the presence of which inhibits one or more activities of the protein (e.g., gRNA binding, enzymatic activity, target DNA binding). The binding of a ligand to the intein results in self-excision of the intein, restoring the activity of the protein. |

ABSTRACT | Provided is an ammunition container lid for use with an ammunition canister. The container lid includes a four-sided frame, a cover, a hinge assembly, a feed tray, a latch, and a Last Round Switch. The hinge assembly includes a repeating pattern of ammunition can hinge sections, feed tray hinge sections, and cover hinge sections with a rod holding the sections together. The lid has an integrated aerodynamic forward face that matches the curvature of the ammunition can. The feed tray assembly is incorporated into the container lid to prevent a reduction in ammunition can capacity. The cover and feed tray rotate on the same axis, thereby resulting in simplified, ergonomic operation, which eliminates the problems inherent in current designs that can open directly into the airstream during flight. The inventive lid does not require special tools for installation/removal and does not reduce ammunition can capacity. |

ABSTRACT | A multiplicative analog frequency transform optical neural network (MAFT-ONN) encodes data in the frequency domain, achieves matrix-vector products in a single shot using photoelectric multiplication, and uses a single electro-optic modulator for the nonlinear activation of all neurons in each layer. Photoelectric multiplication between radio frequency (RF)-encoded optical frequency combs allows single-shot matrix-vector multiplication and nonlinear activation, leading to high throughput and ultra-low latency. This frequency-encoding scheme can be implemented with several neurons per hardware spatial mode and allows for an arbitrary number of layers to be cascaded in the analog domain. For example, a three-layer DNN can compute over four million fully analog operations and implement both a convolutional and fully connected layer. Additionally, a MAFT-ONN can perform analog DNN inference of temporal waveforms like voice or radio signals, achieving bandwidth-limited throughput, speed of light-limited latency, and fully analog complex-valued matrix operations. |

ABSTRACT | During training of deep neural networks, a Copernican loss (LC) is designed to augment a primary loss function, for example, a standard Softmax loss, to explicitly minimize intra-class variation and simultaneously maximize inter-class variation. Copernican loss operates using the cosine distance and thereby affects angles leading to a cosine embedding, which removes the disconnect between training and testing. |

ABSTRACT | Methods and systems useful for artificial intelligence-assisted generation of viable hypotheses may have (1) an ability to rapidly enumerate and test a diverse set of mathematically sound and parsimonious physical hypotheses, starting from a few basic assumptions on the embedding spacetime topology; (2) a distinction between non-negotiable mathematical truism (e.g., conservation laws or symmetries), that are directly implied by properties of spacetime, and phenomenological relations (e.g., constitutive laws), whose characterization relies indisputably on empirical observation, justifying targeted use of data-driven methods (e.g., machine learning (ML) or polynomial regression); and (3) a “simple-first” strategy (following Occam’s razor) to search for new hypotheses by incrementally introducing latent variables that are expected to exist based on topological foundations of physics. |

ABSTRACT | A system and method for real-time image transformation monitoring for a display unit receives, via a pixel buffer, pixels of source image data and appends fiducial data to each pixel, the fiducial data corresponding to a reference checksum associated with a transformation map for one or more transformations of the source image into an output image for display. When source image data is read out of the pixel buffer, e.g., as a sequence of pixel datasets, an image transformation monitor extracts the fiducial data appended to each dataset and incorporates each set of extracted fiducial data into a checksum calculation for the current source image. When the transformed output image is complete, the cumulative checksum calculation for the current source image is compared to the reference checksum, determining a system status or detecting a system fault based on whether or not the checksum calculation and reference calculation are equivalent. |

ABSTRACT | A method for preparing metal oxide and ceramic oxide nano- and microparticulate materials is described herein. The method comprises irradiating a precursor material with high energy pulsed-light flashes in an oxygen-containing atmosphere. The precursor materials comprise thin films, fibers, or particles of subnano-, nano-, or microscale dimension, which are composed of metal ions dispersed in an amorphous or partially crystalline polymer matrix in a ratio necessary to form target metal oxide or ceramic oxide when reacted with oxygen (i.e., the precursor material does not include any metal oxide phase). The irradiation of the precursor material in an oxygen-containing atmosphere decomposes and removes the polymers and anions from the precursor, and also oxidizes the metal ions within the precursor materials to form metal oxide or ceramic oxide particulates. |

ABSTRACT | An apparatus and method is provided for coating a surface of a material with a film of porous coordination polymer. A first substrate having a first surface to be coated is positioned in a processing chamber such that the first surface is placed in a substantially opposing relationship to a second surface. In some embodiments, the second surface is provided by a wall of the processing chamber, and in other embodiments the second surface is provided by a second substrate to be coated. The first substrate is held such that a gap exists between the first and second surfaces, and the gap is filled with at least one reaction mixture comprising reagents sufficient to form the crystalline film on at least the first surface. A thin gap (e.g., having a thickness less than 2 mm) between the first and second surfaces is effective for producing a high quality film having a thickness less than 100 μm. Confining the volume of the reaction mixture to a thin layer adjacent the substrate surface significantly reduces problems with sedimentation and concentration control. In some embodiments, the size, shape, or average thickness of the gap is adjusted during formation of the film in response to feedback from at least one film growth monitor. |

ABSTRACT | Disclosed are thermal energy storage systems and methods that utilize metal carbonate eutectics that can undergo high temperature reversible reactions to form mixtures of metal oxides. The metal oxides undergo an exothermic reaction with carbon dioxide to form the molten metal carbonate eutectics, and the molten metal carbonate eutectics undergo an endothermic decarbonization reaction to form the metal oxides and carbon dioxide. By carrying out the reversible reactions at a temperature above the melting point of the carbonate eutectic, the systems provide high thermal conductivity and reversible stability for thermal energy storage. |

The optical amplifier includes a negative diverging lens to receive an extraction laser beam and to cause the laser beam to expand as the beam passes through the gain medium. The amplifier further comprises a positive collimating lens configured to receive the expanding amplified beam and reduce the divergence. The gain medium can be pumped by counter-propagating radiation. The fluence of the laser beam within the gain medium is configured to be near constant along the length of the gain medium and may be within 1.5-2.0 FSAT. The gain medium may be doped with dopant to provide gain, with larger concentration of dopants proximal the input surface and smaller concentration proximal the output surface. |

ABSTRACT | A multiplicative analog frequency transform optical neural network (MAFT-ONN) encodes data in the frequency domain, achieves matrix-vector products in a single shot using photoelectric multiplication, and uses a single electro-optic modulator for the nonlinear activation of all neurons in each layer. Photoelectric multiplication between radio frequency (RF)-encoded optical frequency combs allows single-shot matrix-vector multiplication and nonlinear activation, leading to high throughput and ultra-low latency. This frequency-encoding scheme can be implemented with several neurons per hardware spatial mode and allows for an arbitrary number of layers to be cascaded in the analog domain. For example, a three-layer DNN can compute over four million fully analog operations and implement both a convolutional and fully connected layer. Additionally, a MAFT-ONN can perform analog DNN inference of temporal waveforms like voice or radio signals, achieving bandwidth-limited throughput, speed of light-limited latency, and fully analog complex-valued matrix operations. |

ABSTRACT | Various examples are provided related to fingerphoto deblurring. In one example, a method includes generating, using a guided-attention (GA) mechanism, an intermediate feature map of a blurred image of a fingerprint and generating a deblurred image of the fingerprint based at least in part upon the intermediate feature map. The GA mechanism can generate the intermediate feature map by generating an attended feature map from an input feature map based upon a predicted attention map and adding the input feature map to the attended feature map. A system can include processing circuitry and a fingerphoto deblurring application that, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the processing circuitry to generate the intermediate feature map and generate the deblurred image. |

ABSTRACT | System and methods for object segmentation include providing a pre-trained neural network model to segment object instances based on a first set of images and a first loss function. The neural network, for a pixel, can generate a gradient flow that points towards a center of an object structure and provides a probability score indicating a probability of the pixel belonging to the object structure. An adapted neural network model can be generated from the pre-trained neural network model to account for domain shifted new input images by training the pre-trained neural network model on a second set of images and a loss function that comprises a contrastive flow loss component and a contrastive mask loss component. |

ABSTRACT | Modulation of inward potassium ion conductance with structurally diverse small-molecules in the arthropod salivary gland induces arthropod salivary gland failure that results in a reduction or elimination in the ability of the arthropod to feed. Administering Kir channel inhibitors reduces food intake, increases feeding time, reduces salivary gland secretion, induces mortality, and reduces transmission of vector-borne pathogens.

ABSTRACT | A spacecraft capable of generating an artificial gravity environment comprises frame with a circular track with at least two modules traveling on the track. The two modules are configured to engage the first track opposite the first module to minimize mass imbalance, and a balancing system for the first and second modules configured to mass balance the first and second modules relative to each other. The frame itself does not rotate, and may have other mission supporting structures attached, including storage and supply modules, and observational modules, and spacecraft hangars and spacecraft docking modules. A method of operating a spacecraft to generate artificial gravity in a habitation module comprises operating a frame in space, propelling first and second habitation modules about the frame to generate artificial gravity environments in the modules, and mass balancing the first module relative to the second module to maintain balance of the spacecraft. |

ABSTRACT | An assembly for providing an active seismic source includes a motor and a drive shaft coupled to the motor. A crank is coupled to the drive shaft. The motor is configured to impart rotation of the crank in a first rotational direction. A one-way bearing permits rotation of the crank relative to the drive shaft in the first rotational direction and inhibits rotation of the crank relative to the drive shaft in an opposed second rotational direction. The assembly also includes a strike plate, a track, and a hammer that is movable along the track along an axis that extends toward and away from the strike plate. The hammer contacts the strike plate. A biasing element biases the hammer toward the strike plate. A linkage arm couples the hammer to the crank and translates rotational movement of the crank to linear movement of the hammer. |

ABSTRACT | During training of deep neural networks, a Copernican loss (LC) is designed to augment a primary loss function, for example, a standard Softmax loss, to explicitly minimize intra-class variation and simultaneously maximize inter-class variation. Copernican loss operates using the cosine distance and thereby affects angles leading to a cosine embedding, which removes the disconnect between training and testing. |

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, September 07, 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.
