ABSTRACT A robotically driven OCT scanning and imaging system provides a 3-dimensional (3D) image rendering based on a 2-dimensional (2D) surface traversal of a Region of Interest (ROI) for immediate depiction of tissue health with an accuracy and portability not available with conventional imaging approaches. A comprehensive scan over the surface of the ROI ensures complete coverage, and a signal indicative of attenuation of the optical scan indicates penetration of the OCT stimulus. The received signal for each location is aggregated, or “stitched” together with the signal received from adjacent locations to provide a full mapping of the scanned region, and rendered as a color or shading map for showing anomalies or sudden variances in tissue health.

ABSTRACT Described herein are mesenchymal stem cells (MCS) expressing hybrid allosteric receptors (HAR) that are responsive to stromal cell-derived factor 1 alpha (SDF-1α) secreted from acutely infarcted myocardium. Binding of SDF-1α to CXCR4 activates the co-stimulatory signals, bone morphogenetic protein 2 type II receptor (BMP2R2) and BMP type I receptor (ALK3), in order to accelerate the differentiation into cardiomyocytes. HAR-MSC CXCR4 differentiates into cardiomyocytes through Smad1/5 phosphorylation induced by the BMP2 signaling. In acute myocardial infarction (AMI) models, HAR-MSC CXCR4 treatment leads to the functional improvements by facilitated differentiation and increased cytokine secretion. HAR-MSC CXCR4 cells can be used for the treatment of AMI.

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 Methods of modulating transcription of a target gene in a cell (which may be in vitro or in vivo) are provided. Aspects of the methods employ a transcription factor-chemical inducer of proximity (TF-CIP) system to modulate, e.g., enhance or reduce, transcription of a target gene in a cell. Embodiments of the methods include providing in a cell a chemical inducer of proximity (CIP) which links a first endogenous anchor transcription factor that binds to a promoter of the target gene and a second endogenous transcription modulating factor (e.g., a transcription factor or transcription repressor), wherein CIP mediated linkage of the anchor transcription factor and transcription modulating factor modulates transcription of the target gene in the cell. Also provided are compositions that find use in practicing methods of the invention.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure is directed to techniques for synchronizing a rotational eccentric mass of a gravitational transducer used for a magnetic resonance elastography acquisition with a corresponding magnetic resonance elastography scan carried out by a magnetic resonance imaging system, wherein the rotation of the eccentric mass is driven by a shaft. The method includes starting the rotation of the eccentric mass at a set vibration frequency and the magnetic resonance elastography scan at a set acquisition frequency; determining the rotational position of the shaft; defining the rotational position as first reference position; calculating further reference positions. At the start time of each subsequent acquisition period, determining the current rotational position of the shaft; comparing the determined current rotational position with the theoretically expected reference position and decreasing or increasing the rotational speed of the rotational eccentric mass based on the comparison.

ABSTRACT Various examples are provided related to reconstructing images such as, e.g., medical images from low-dose image scans. Adversarial learning such as, e.g., a Cyclic Simulation and Denoising (CSD) framework can be used to address challenges of complicated mixed noise in real low-dose scans. The CSD framework can include a simulator model that can extract low-dose noise and features (e.g., tissue features) from separate image spaces into a unified feature space and a denoiser model that can learn how to remove noise and restore features, simultaneously. Both the simulator model and the denoiser model can regularize each other in a cyclic manner to optimize network learning effectively. The CSD framework in combination with phantom scans can embrace the realistic low-dose noise and features into a unified learning environment to address the challenge of real low-dose image restoration.

ABSTRACT Various examples are related to template-free methodologies to obtain “semi-regular” micro/nano-textures utilizing ribbing instability behavior in viscoelastic polymers. The methodologies offer low manufacturing cost and scalability for real-world applications. In one example, a method includes forming a viscoelastic material coating and forming micro-scale and/or nano-scale 3D features on a surface of the viscoelastic material coating. The micro-scale and/or nano-scale 3D features can be formed under shearing stress using a roll-to-roll process without a template. The texture periodicity and height in the polymer coat film can be adjusted through the roll coating process parameters and/or the polymer composite behavior.

ABSTRACT A method of transmitting at least one optical signal through an add-drop filter includes directing the at least one optical signal into a first tapered optical fiber of the add-drop filter. The add-drop filter includes an active resonator side-coupled between the first tapered optical fiber and a second tapered optical fiber, and the active resonator is doped with at least one rare earth ion. A tuned optical gain is produced by delivering a tuned amount of pump laser energy to the at least one rare earth ion at a sub-lasing level, the tuned optical gain configured to compensate an intrinsic loss of the active resonator.

ABSTRACT Methods and systems for imaging a sample using fluorescence microscopy. High resolution lenses can be used for light sheet microscopy by tilting the excitation beam relative to the imaging optical axis. The excitation beam can be tilted using mirrors, instead of lenses, to generate the tilted illumination sheet. In some examples, a light path starts at a top downward-facing cone of light as it emerges from an optic fiber; a first off-axis parabolic mirror collimates in the x-axis, while a second off-axis parabolic mirror collimates in the y-axis, followed by the photomask to create four primary light sheets, which are then focused by a third off-axis parabolic mirror. As the four primary light sheets converge they create an interference pattern at an objective lens.

ABSTRACT Stabilized precursor solutions can be used to form radiation inorganic coating materials. The precursor solutions generally comprise metal suboxide cations, peroxide-based ligands and polyatomic anions. Design of the precursor solutions can be performed to achieve a high level of stability of the precursor solutions. The resulting coating materials can be designed for patterning with a selected radiation, such as ultraviolet light, x-ray radiation or electron beam radiation. The radiation patterned coating material can have a high contrast with respect to material properties, such that development of a latent image can be successful to form lines with very low line-width roughness and adjacent structures with a very small pitch.

ABSTRACT A catalyst-free synthesis method for the formation of a metalorganic compound comprising a desired (first) metal may include, for example, selecting another (second) metal and an organic solvent, with the second metal being selected to (i) be more reactive with respect to the organic solvent than the first metal and (ii) form, upon exposure of the second metal to the organic solvent, a reaction by-product that is more soluble in the organic solvent than the metalorganic compound. An alloy comprising the first metal and the second metal may be first produced (e.g., formed or otherwise obtained) and then treated with the organic solvent in a liquid phase or a vapor phase to form a mixture comprising (i) the reaction by-product comprising the second metal and (ii) the metalorganic compound comprising the first metal. The metalorganic compound may then be separated from the mixture in the form of a solid.

ABSTRACT Methods for designing scaffolded RNA nanostructures of desired shape are described. In some forms, the methods design nucleic acid “staple” sequences that hybridize to a user-defined RNA scaffold and fold it into the desired shape based on A-form helical nucleic acid geometry. In some forms, the methods implement asymmetry in nucleotide positions across two helices of an edge to account for A-form nucleic acid geometry. In preferred forms, crossover asymmetry is implemented in the staples. In other forms, crossover asymmetry is implemented in the RNA scaffold. In other forms, the methods do not introduce crossover asymmetry. Scaffolded RNA nanostructures produced according to the methods including messenger RNAs, replicating RNAs, functional RNAs and other RNA species within the scaffold, staples, or both scaffold and staples are provided. Modified nanostructures including chemically modified nucleotides are also described.

ABSTRACT Methods and systems for manipulating surface topology of additively manufactured fluid interacting structures, such as additively manufactured heat exchangers or airfoils, and associated additively manufactured articles, are disclosed. In one aspect, an article which interacts with a fluid is imparted with surface topology features which affect performance parameters related to the fluid flow. The topological features may be sequenced, combined, intermixed, and functionally varied in size and form to locally manipulate and co-optimize multiple performance parameters at each or selectable differential lengths along a flow path. The co-optimization method may uniquely prioritize selectable performance parameters at different points along the flow path to improve or enhance overall system performance. Topological features may include design features such as dimples, fins, boundary layer disruptors, and biomimicry surface textures, and manufacturing artefacts such as surface roughness and subsurface porosity distribution and morphology.

ABSTRACT Power and electromagnetic fault injection vulnerabilities in an integrated circuit (IC) can be characterized sampling one or more integrated timing sensors in real-time or by equivalent-time sampling. To achieve equivalent-time sampling, a series of fault injection attempts are performed. An array of timing sensors implemented in part of the IC capture a measure of relative propagation delay, which fluctuates proportionally with instantaneous voltage. Increased voltage fluctuation can indicate elevated probability of faults in digital logic. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

ABSTRACT A three-dimensional object model is divided into slices that are targeted for an additive manufacturing process operable to deposit material at a variable deposition size ranging between minimum and maximum printable feature sizes. For each of the slices, a thinning algorithm is applied to contours of the slice to form a meso-skeleton. Topological features of the thinned slice are reduced over a number of passes such that a portion of the meso-skeleton is reduced to a single pixel wide line. Based on the number of passes, a slice-specific printable feature size within the range of the minimum and maximum printable feature sizes is determined. An adjusted slice is formed by sweeping the meso-skeleton with the slice-specific printable feature size. The adjusted slices are assembled into an object model which is used to create a manufactured object.

ABSTRACT A radio frequency (RF) transmission line is described. The RF transmission line includes a first ground line, a second ground line, and a signal line disposed on a substrate and forming a coplanar waveguide. A plasma limiter feature is integrated into an internal surface of one or more of the first ground line, the second ground line, and the signal line. The plasma limiter decreases a gap distance between the signal line and the associated ground line. The gap distance is selected, together with a gas pressure, to control a voltage at which the gas within the gap breaks down, targeted at a breakdown power of 1 W across a wide bandwidth. The plasma limiter thus limits a power transmitted by way of the RF transmission line for protecting a sensitive integrated circuit.

Multiple lightening holes have individual ones of the multiple lightening holes integrally formed within individual ones of the crankpin journals during casting. A bubble space is located proximate to a mid-portion of selected ones of the multiple lightening holes of the crankpin journals. The bubble space locally increases a passage size of the selected ones of the multiple lightening holes and reduces a mass of the individual ones of the crankpin journals.

ABSTRACT Amorphous silicon carbide may be doped with one or more ions such as vanadium and these ions may radiate light if excited, for example, using optical or electrical pumping. A single photon light source may be formed from a single such ion that is pumped or from a plurality of ions that are pumped if light from only one ion is collected, e.g., using an aperture or pin hole. Such single photon sources may possibly be use in quantum computing, quantum sensing and/or quantum telecommunications.

ABSTRACT A system is provided for background suppression and anomaly detection/classification in a sensor data field using an omnidirectional stochastic technique to expose anomalies. For each element in the sensor data field, the system identifies neighborhoods of elements that cover the various nearby parts of the sensor data field in all directions. At a specified statistical significance level for background, the system considers the element to be background if it is statistically insignificant relative to the elements in any one of the surrounding neighborhoods. The system exposes anomalous objects by applying an attenuation coefficient near zero to those background elements. The system grows anomalous objects from seed elements that correspond to local peaks in the background-suppressed sensor data field. The system can be trained to jointly learn an effective statistical significance level for background suppression and the parameters for classifying objects as of interest or not of interest.

ABSTRACT A compact, low-power, high image rejection sideband separation receiver is provided. The receiver observes an input radio frequency (RF) signal of multiple spectral lines (spectral observation), then downconverts the signals to intermediate frequency (IF), and then separates the signals to be observed simultaneously in multiple channels. An embodiment is used to observe a signal (G-band) with two spectral lines and utilizes a two stage Weaver architecture to downconvert the signal's frequency, including a combination of mixers in the second stage that achieves the separation of two different channels.

ABSTRACT A dynamically tunable composition, a device including the composition, a method of dynamically tuning radiation transmission through the composition, and a method of thermo-reversibly controlling operation of a filter formed from the composition. The composition includes a plurality of nanoparticles dispersed in a single phase region of a binary solvent systems composed of a first solvent and a second solvent, the nanoparticles having a preferential wettability to the first solvent. Changing temperature of the composition causes it to transition thermo-reversibly from the liquid state to a gel state having bi-continuous domains, including a particle domain and a solvent domain. The particle domain features nanoparticles dispersed in a first-solvent-rich fraction of the binary solvent system, and the solvent domain is a second-solvent-rich fraction of the binary solvent system. Exemplary devices incorporating the composition include a filter, a temperature sensor, a smart window, a smart display, a battery, and a tissue growth scaffold.

ABSTRACT A computer-implemented method is for detecting Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal spoofing. The method includes storing sample sequences of the predictable part and of the unpredictable part of a GNSS signal at a GNSS receiver. The predictable part includes predictable bits and the unpredictable part includes unpredictable bits. The value of the unpredictable bits from which the unpredictable sample sequences are extracted is verified. A first and a second partial correlation between the unpredictable, respectively predictable, sample sequences and a locally stored GNSS signal replica are computed. A predefined metric from the complex valued partial correlations is calculated. The predefined metric is compared with a predefined threshold value. In a zero-delay replay attack, the spoofer estimates the unpredictable bits introduced by a GNSS authentication protocol and introduces distortion into the signal. Detecting this distortion indicates whether the signal under analysis is being spoofed or is authentic.

ABSTRACT An apparatus and system for determining and identifying communication signals are described. Characteristics of the waveform for received signals are determined. Statistical and/or Cyclostationary Signal Processing algorithms are used on the characteristics to identify each signals as a communication signal having a particular protocol. Autocorrelation, spectral correlation, and power Cepstrum, among others, are used to identify the signal using periodic characteristics of the waveform in the frequency domain. Rogue devices that do not adhere to the protocol are identified and actions taken accordingly.

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 28, 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:
