ABSTRACT Disclosed is a method for increasing susceptibility of cancer cells to ionizing radiation by delivering to the cells a radiosensitizing agent that has one of the following properties: (a) it perturbs the process of chromosome segregation thereby increasing chromosome missegregation; or (b) it is an inhibitor of an agent that promotes faithful chromosome segregation induces numeric chromosome instability in said cells and this instability is induced substantially simultaneously with or closely prior to or closely after irradiating the cells. Examples of such radiosensitizing agent include inhibitors of one or more of the following: Kif2b, MCAK, MPS1, Eg5/Kinesin-5 5, Polo-like kinase 4, MCAK, Bub1 and Hec1. Such agents specifically target proteins involved in maintaining or promoting faithful chromosome segregation.

ABSTRACT Modified metal-organic framework (MOFs) are described that have surfaces with enhanced ability to coordinatively bond to or electrostatically interact with therapeutic agents, such as nucleic acids and small molecules and proteins with phosphate or carboxylate groups. Methods of providing the modified MOFs are described that include replacing strongly coordinating metal oxo cluster capping groups with weakly coordinating capping groups and/or incorporating organic bridging ligands with electron-withdrawing groups. MOFs with surface attached therapeutic agents (e.g., immunotherapeutic agents) prepared from the modified MOFs are also described, along with methods of using the MOFs as to treat cancer, e.g., via radiotherapy-radiodynamic therapy (RT-RDT), either with or without the co-administration of another therapeutic agent, such as a chemotherapeutic agent or an immunomodulator. Thus, the described methods can involve cancer immunotherapy and in situ cancer vaccination.

ABSTRACT An assay device includes a colorimetric testing assembly including a detection area, a fluid inlet, and a microfluidic network including a first path extending to the detection area and a second path extending to the detection area. When a fluid (e.g., a buffer fluid or a combined buffer and sample solution) is provided to the fluid inlet, a first portion of the fluid rehydrates a first dried reagent (e.g., a dried enzyme label) disposed along the first path to produce a first rehydrated reagent and a second portion of the fluid rehydrates a second dried reagent (e.g., a dried substrate) to produce a second rehydrated reagent. The first rehydrated reagent and the second rehydrated reagent are then sequentially delivered to the detection area by capillary-driven flow to perform the assay.

ABSTRACT A universal chimeric antigen receptors (CAR)-modified immune cell is provided, including engineering natural killer (NK) cells and/or T cells which recognizes 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) and can subsequently be redirected to target various epitopes of envelop protein gp160 using DNP-conjugated broad neutralizing antibodies as adaptor molecules. In preferred embodiments, the anti-gp160 antibodies target membrane-distal epitopes. This system can recognize and kill mimic HIV-infected cell lines expressing at least one of subtypes B and C gp160. Presently provided system containing universal CAR-NK cells and (bNAbs) overcome the limitations of conventional anti-HIV CARs, as the latter targets a single epitope of the HIV envelope glycoprotein gp160 and falls short of countering the enormous diversity and mutability of viruses.

In some embodiments, highly accurate, error corrected and massively parallel sequencing of nucleic acid material is possible using a combination of uniquely labeled strands in a double-stranded nucleic acid complex in such a way that each strand can be informatically related to its complementary strand, but also distinguished from it following sequencing of each strand or an amplified product derived therefrom. In various embodiments, this information can be used for the purpose of error correction of the determined sequence.

ABSTRACT Provided herein is a circular proximity ligation assay in which proximity-probes are employed as bridges to connect two free oligonucleotides via a dual ligation event, resulting in the formation of a circle. The circles are then quantified by, e.g., qPCR. The addition of an extra oligonucleotide is believed to enhance specificity by decreasing the probability of random background ligation events. In addition, circle formation may have selective advantages, as uncircularized DNA can be removed by a simple exonuclease treatment and it has streamlined the workflow by eliminating preamplification prior to qPCR.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are nucleic acid-chromophores and nucleic acid assembly containing the nucleic acid-chromophores. The nucleic acid-chromophore contains a nucleic acid strand and two or more adjacent chromophores. The two or more adjacent chromophores can be covalently incorporated in the backbone of the nucleic acid strand. One or more photophysical properties of the adjacent chromophores can be altered by a change in the nucleic acid assembly. In some forms, the nucleic acid assembly can contain a nucleic acid scaffold. In these forms, the change in the nucleic acid assembly can be a change in the length of a nucleic acid hybrid in the nucleic acid scaffold that is opposite the adjacent chromophores. Typically, the nucleic acid hybrid does not contain any chromophore. The nucleic acid-chromophores can serve as molecular fluorophores with emission properties that are highly sensitive to local geometry and the chemical environment.

ABSTRACT Modified metal-organic framework (MOFs) are described that have surfaces with enhanced ability to coordinatively bond to or electrostatically interact with therapeutic agents, such as nucleic acids and small molecules and proteins with phosphate or carboxylate groups. Methods of providing the modified MOFs are described that include replacing strongly coordinating metal oxo cluster capping groups with weakly coordinating capping groups and/or incorporating organic bridging ligands with electron-withdrawing groups. MOFs with surface attached therapeutic agents (e.g., immunotherapeutic agents) prepared from the modified MOFs are also described, along with methods of using the MOFs as to treat cancer, e.g., via radiotherapy-radiodynamic therapy (RT-RDT), either with or without the co-administration of another therapeutic agent, such as a chemotherapeutic agent or an immunomodulator. Thus, the described methods can involve cancer immunotherapy and in situ cancer vaccination.

ABSTRACT Systems and techniques are provided for autonomous or semi-autonomous connection and disconnection of an end effector to a port, such as a refueling port associated with a fuel tank. The end effector may be coupled with a carriage system, such as a robotic arm and have a connection with a supply source. A sensor suite may be coupled with the carriage system and output optical and/or proximity data that is received at a controller system. The controller system may identify a location of the port, position the end effector in proximity with the port, and provide a connection therebetween. The controller system may identify a fiducial target associated with the port that provides for alignment with the end effector and port. The end effector may also include a compensation system to adjust a location of the end effector to a finer degree than is possible using the carriage system.

ABSTRACT In various embodiments, a Laser-actuated Supercritical Injector (LASI) is provided. This device provides high-speed fluidic jet injection into biological samples, such as cells, organs, and tissues (including skin). In certain embodiments the LASI devices exploit high-speed fluidic jets that are pushed by rapid bubble expansion in a fluid. The bubbles are formed when liquid confined in microcavities or holes are heated up to above the supercritical temperature of the fluid. This leads to the formation of a short but ultra-high vapor pressure (supercritical) fluid that ejects the fluid (and any cargo contained therein) out through microchannels. This jet penetrates a cell, organ or tissue juxtaposed to a surface containing the microchannels and the jet provide sufficient force to penetrate into the cell, tissue, or organ leading to effective deliver of a cargo.

ABSTRACT Synells are created by encapsulating components and iteratively optimizing each synell for a desired trait. Each synell is tested during each interation. Failed synells are discarded. Additional synell components are added during each iteration, with iterative optimization being repeated until synells having the trait are created. A method for synell reproduction includes creating a synell having a desired trait, determining a recipe for the synell, digitizing the recipe, and transmitting the digitized recipe to another location. The recipe is reconstituted at the other location and the synell is reproduced using the recipe. On-demand biosynthesis of synells includes generating droplets containing different synell components within a microfluidic device, fusing them into combinations, and storing them until a request for a synell having a particular trait is received. Fused droplets having the component combination for the trait, or being combinable to produce it, are retrieved and encapsulated to form the requested synell.

ABSTRACT The present technology relates generally to methods and compositions for targeted nucleic acid sequence enrichment, as well as uses of such enrichment for error-corrected nucleic acid sequencing applications. In some embodiments, highly accurate, error corrected and massively parallel sequencing of nucleic acid material is possible using a combination of uniquely labeled strands in a double-stranded nucleic acid complex in such a way that each strand can be informatically related to its complementary strand, but also distinguished from it following sequencing of each strand or an amplified product derived therefrom. In various embodiments, this information can be used for the purpose of error correction of the determined sequence.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are nucleic acid-chromophores and nucleic acid assembly containing the nucleic acid-chromophores. The nucleic acid-chromophore contains a nucleic acid strand and two or more adjacent chromophores. The two or more adjacent chromophores can be covalently incorporated in the backbone of the nucleic acid strand. One or more photophysical properties of the adjacent chromophores can be altered by a change in the nucleic acid assembly. In some forms, the nucleic acid assembly can contain a nucleic acid scaffold. In these forms, the change in the nucleic acid assembly can be a change in the length of a nucleic acid hybrid in the nucleic acid scaffold that is opposite the adjacent chromophores. Typically, the nucleic acid hybrid does not contain any chromophore. The nucleic acid-chromophores can serve as molecular fluorophores with emission properties that are highly sensitive to local geometry and the chemical environment.

ABSTRACT Provided is a portable biosensor that includes a sample filter cartridge, a filter collector, an optical sphere, an electromagnetic radiation emitter, a photo-detector, a processor, a signal display, a vacuum pump, and a power supply. The sample filter cartridge selectively removes small molecules to minimize spectral interference in the detection signal. The sample is concentrated onto the filter collector and subjected to illumination by the electromagnetic radiation emitter, producing Raman-scattering. The optical sphere collects and distributes the Raman-scattering shifts, which then pass through a spectral filter to produce spectral filtered scattering, which is then reflected by the concave holographic flat-field grating onto the photo-detector. The data is displayed graphically to provide the Raman-scattering shift data. The data is compared with a database for sample identification. The device is contained within a housing that is small enough to be easily transported for field use.

ABSTRACT The present invention relates to real-time impedance spectroscopy using 2d transition metal dichalcogenide material-based chemical sensor systems and methods of making and using same. Impedance approach to breakdown the resistance into multiple, measureable resistance components is used in such system. Thus, a real time impedance can be used to measure the resistance of a flake network when exposed to a gas. This change in the resistance can now be used to determine the concentration of a gas of interest, in many cases, down to a parts per trillion level. Thus, gas concentrations can efficiently and effectively determined on a more accurate level and less expensively than before.

ABSTRACT An anti-tamper module includes a substrate and a photoisomerization (PI) layer formed on the substrate. The PI layer comprises molecules configured to transition from a first state to a second state in response to exposure to a first type of light and transition from the second state to the first state in response to exposure to a second type of light, and transitioning a selected portion of the PI layer to the first state while surrounding portions of the PI layer remain in the second state causes physical deformation of the PI layer. An excitonic layer is arranged on the PI layer. An electrical characteristic of the excitonic layer is sensitive to strain caused by the physical deformation of the PI layer such that an excitonic property of the excitonic layer changes in a region corresponding to the selected portion of the PI layer.

ABSTRACT A system and method for cryptographically securing data communications between a group of networked devices establishes and maintains an overlay network at the Application Layer, on top of a unicast routing service provided at the Internetworking Layer. The overlay network provides first, the routes that are used to deliver multicast datagrams and second, the cryptographic keys used to secure multicast datagrams. A common cryptographic key is established between all members of each group, and end-to-end encryption ensures that multicast datagrams can be accessed only by authorized group members. In other embodiments, keys are established between pairs of adjacent devices in the overlay network, and hop-by-hop encryption ensures that multicast datagrams can be accessed only by overlay network members.

ABSTRACT An assay device includes a colorimetric testing assembly including a detection area, a fluid inlet, and a microfluidic network including a first path extending to the detection area and a second path extending to the detection area. When a fluid (e.g., a buffer fluid or a combined buffer and sample solution) is provided to the fluid inlet, a first portion of the fluid rehydrates a first dried reagent (e.g., a dried enzyme label) disposed along the first path to produce a first rehydrated reagent and a second portion of the fluid rehydrates a second dried reagent (e.g., a dried substrate) to produce a second rehydrated reagent. The first rehydrated reagent and the second rehydrated reagent are then sequentially delivered to the detection area by capillary-driven flow to perform the assay.

ABSTRACT Provided herein are programmable condensate protein systems and nucleic acid constructs encoding the same. The protein system enables modular targeting of proteins of interest. Protein-peptide interaction domains (PPIDs) are incorporated to functionalize engineered condensates with the attributes of the recruited protein, resulting in a modular system that allows for diverse facile and reprogrammable applications, including in enzyme clustering of metabolic pathways. Colocalizing specific metabolic enzymes in these condensates results in functionalized organelles with which can be used to manipulate the output of engineered metabolic pathways for the production of a pharmaceutical precursor.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are nucleic acid-chromophores and nucleic acid assembly containing the nucleic acid-chromophores. The nucleic acid-chromophore contains a nucleic acid strand and two or more adjacent chromophores. The two or more adjacent chromophores can be covalently incorporated in the backbone of the nucleic acid strand. One or more photophysical properties of the adjacent chromophores can be altered by a change in the nucleic acid assembly. In some forms, the nucleic acid assembly can contain a nucleic acid scaffold. In these forms, the change in the nucleic acid assembly can be a change in the length of a nucleic acid hybrid in the nucleic acid scaffold that is opposite the adjacent chromophores. Typically, the nucleic acid hybrid does not contain any chromophore. The nucleic acid-chromophores can serve as molecular fluorophores with emission properties that are highly sensitive to local geometry and the chemical environment.

ABSTRACT A simulation-based optimization framework determines the sizing of components of an analog circuit to meet target design specifications while also satisfying the robustness specifications set by the designer. The robustness is guaranteed by setting a limit on the standard deviations of the variations in the performance parameters of a circuit across all process and temperature corners of interest Classifier chains are used that, in addition to modeling the relationship between inputs and outputs, learn the relationships among output labels. Additional design knowledge is inferred from the optimal ordering of the classifier chain.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are nucleic acid-chromophores and nucleic acid assembly containing the nucleic acid-chromophores. The nucleic acid-chromophore contains a nucleic acid strand and two or more adjacent chromophores. The two or more adjacent chromophores can be covalently incorporated in the backbone of the nucleic acid strand. One or more photophysical properties of the adjacent chromophores can be altered by a change in the nucleic acid assembly. In some forms, the nucleic acid assembly can contain a nucleic acid scaffold. In these forms, the change in the nucleic acid assembly can be a change in the length of a nucleic acid hybrid in the nucleic acid scaffold that is opposite the adjacent chromophores. Typically, the nucleic acid hybrid does not contain any chromophore. The nucleic acid-chromophores can serve as molecular fluorophores with emission properties that are highly sensitive to local geometry and the chemical environment.

ABSTRACT A method of encapsulating a phase change material includes providing a co-axial ejector including first and second coaxially-disposed outlets, with the first outlet being inside of and surrounded by the second outlet. A core composition including a phase change material is fed to the first outlet. A coating composition is fed to the second outlet. The core composition and the coating composition are simultaneously ejected from the ejector onto a collector. The core composition is surrounded by the coating composition and together ejected onto the collector to form an encapsulated core-shell phase change material fiber. No voltage is applied to the ejector during ejection, and the method does not include electrospinning. The core-shell fiber has a phase change material core surrounded by a polymer shell and a diameter in the range of 10-10,000 μm. The core constitutes from 30% to 97% by volume of the core-shell fiber.

ABSTRACT Methods and systems are described for modulating optical signals. An example method may comprise supplying, via a waveguide, an optical signal to a resonator optically coupled to the waveguide. The method may comprise modulating a phase of the optical signal based on at least one layer comprising an electro-optic material having an electro-refractive property and an electro-absorptive property. The modulating of the phase may be based on using the at least one layer to tune a coupling of the waveguide and the resonator between being under-coupled and being over-coupled. The method may comprise outputting, via the waveguide, the modulated optical signal.

ABSTRACT Various embodiments include a system for generating performance monitoring data in a computing system. The system includes a unit level counter with a set of counters, where each counter increments during each clock cycle in which a corresponding electronic signal is at a first state, such as a high or low logic level state. Periodically, the unit level counter transmits the counter values to a corresponding counter collection unit. The counter collection unit includes a set of counters that aggregates the values of the counters in multiple unit level counters. Based on certain trigger conditions, the counter collection unit transmits records to a reduction channel. The reduction channel includes a set of counters that aggregates the values of the counters in multiple counter collection units. Each virtual machine executing on the system can access a different corresponding reduction channel, providing secure performance metric data for each virtual machine.

ABSTRACT A method is disclosed which comprises accessing a detector model that is trained in parallel with an operator model and an attacker model using a reinforcement learning technique based on iteratively simulating scenarios of operation of an environment to generate training data and learning weights of the models based on the simulated training data. The simulating of a scenario is based on the last learned weights of the models. The method further comprises, during operation of the environment, applying the detector model to an operator action, a prior observation of state of the environment from prior to taking the operator action, and a current observation of the environment from after taking the operator action, to detect whether an attack on the environment has occurred.

ABSTRACT Boresight and lever arm calibration of cameras and scanners on UAVs or mobile platforms is performed by optimizing the flight/travel path of the UAV/platform relative to control points or tie points. The flight/travel paths account for the potential bias of boresight angles, lever arm and times delays to produce an accurate estimation of the orientation of these cameras/scanners relative to the GNSS/INS coordinate system o the UAV/platform.

ABSTRACT A direct converter for an axisymmetric mirror confinement system provides a set of radially symmetric vanes charged to capture ions escaping along the axis of the confinement system and to convert their energy to electrical power. An electron trap positioned before the charged vanes uses a magnetic field to divert and collect electrons, separating them from the ions, and may support a radial electric field providing plasma control. The charged vanes may be constructed of or have a coating of a getter material absorbing neutrals derived from those ions after capture.

ABSTRACT Systems and techniques are provided for autonomous or semi-autonomous connection and disconnection of an end effector to a port, such as a refueling port associated with a fuel tank. The end effector may be coupled with a carriage system, such as a robotic arm and have a connection with a supply source. A sensor suite may be coupled with the carriage system and output optical and/or proximity data that is received at a controller system. The controller system may identify a location of the port, position the end effector in proximity with the port, and provide a connection therebetween. The controller system may identify a fiducial target associated with the port that provides for alignment with the end effector and port. The end effector may also include a compensation system to adjust a location of the end effector to a finer degree than is possible using the carriage system.

ABSTRACT A system for monitoring and establishing physical properties of a subsurface formation at a testing site having a source well and one or more receiver wells may include a pump, a data collection system, and a controller. The controller may cause the pump to extract fluid from and inject fluid into the source well based on one or more measures indicative of an amount of liquid in the source well. The controller may receive measures related to pressures in the receiver wells and physical properties of the subsurface formation may be determined based on the measures related to pressures in the receiver well. In some cases, noise may be removed from the measures related to pressures in the receiver wells to facilitate determining the physical properties of the subsurface formation.

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 21, 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.
