| ABSTRACT | Optical imaging or spectroscopy described can use laminar optical tomography (LOT), diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), or the like. An incident beam is scanned across a target. An orthogonal or oblique optical response can be obtained, such as concurrently at different distances from the incident beam. The optical response from multiple incident wavelengths can be concurrently obtained by dispersing the response wavelengths in a direction orthogonal to the response distances from the incident beam. Temporal correlation can be measured, from which flow and other parameters can be computed. An optical conduit can enable endoscopic or laparoscopic imaging or spectroscopy of internal target locations. An articulating arm can communicate the light for performing the LOT, DCS, or the like. The imaging can find use for skin cancer diagnosis, such as distinguishing lentigo maligna (LM) from lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM). |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure relates to processes, related polyacid polymers, and related articles for functionalizing a porous membrane by contacting the membrane with a polyacid polymer at low pH to stably adsorb a polyacid layer on the membrane pore surface, in particular polyacid polymers including repeating units with a pendent metal-binding ligand or star polyacid polymers. The resulting functionalized membrane is characterized by a high density of free acid groups, resulting in a higher specific capacity for its intended application. The process allows functionalization of porous membranes in a very simple, one-step process, for example without a need to derivatize an adsorbed polyacid layer to impart metal-binding ligand functionality thereto. Such functional membranes may find multiple uses, including rapid, selective binding of proteins for their purification or immobilization. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of obtaining a measurement signal representative of the particle size distributions in nanocrystal suspensions that includes a step of providing a first light beam along a first axis to a first micro-retarder array to generate polarization wavefront shaped light. The shaped light is applied to an objective configured to focus two orthogonally polarized components of the polarization wavefront shaped light to produce first and second axially offset foci along the first axis. A sample having particles in suspension is disposed in one foci to produce a measurement optical signal having phase and intensity values corresponding to at least some of the particles in suspension. The method also includes determining intensity and quantitative phase information as a function of time based on the optical signals. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and corresponding system identify missing interactions in incompletely known datasets represented as complex networks. The method identifies missing connections in a complex network. The method accesses an electronic representation of the network. The network includes nodes and links, the nodes represent entities, and the links represent interactions between the entities. For each pair of nodes not directly connected by a link, the method determines a number of paths connecting the pair of nodes and calculates a prediction score for the pair of nodes based on the number of paths connecting the pair of nodes. The method ranks the pairs of nodes based on the prediction scores, resulting in an ordered list of node pairs, and selects at least a subset of the pairs of nodes based on the ordered list of node pairs. The selected pairs of nodes represent missing connections in the network. |

| 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 | An active apparatus includes a pressure sensor array. The pressure sensor array includes at least one transducer and a standard optical fiber mechanically coupled thereto. The active apparatus includes a distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser located within the optical fiber. The fiber laser emits a wavelength. The fiber laser consists of two fiber Bragg gratings, which define a linear cavity. The linear cavity is mechanically coupled to the at least one transducer. A pressure change detected by the at least one transducer causes at least one property change in the optical fiber. For example, the at least one property change in the optical fiber causes a change in the cavity length. The change in the cavity length causes a wavelength shift relative to the wavelength emitted by the fiber laser. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects of the present application allow for measurement of a calibrated resistance for a resistive film in a sensing element, such that effects from contact resistance and background resistance drifts due to factors such as temperature, strain or aging can be reduced or eliminated. In some embodiments, by taking a plurality of two-terminal resistance measurements between various pairs of electrodes on a resistive film, a contact-resistance-independent resistance of a reference portion of the resistive film can be determined. Further, a contact-resistance-independent resistance of a sensing portion of the resistive film can be determined based on a plurality of two-terminal resistance measurements between pairs of electrodes. The resistance of the reference portion can be removed from the measured resistance of the sensing portion, such that variations in the reference portion resistance that are not caused by a sensed environmental condition may be compensated. |

| ABSTRACT | Precise polarimetric imaging of polarization-sensitive nanoparticles is essential to resolving their accurate spatial positions beyond the diffraction limit. However, conventional technologies typically employ mechanically rotated optical components, causing beam deviation errors that cannot be corrected beyond the diffraction limit. To overcome this limitation, a spatially stable nano-imaging system is presented for polarization-sensitive nanoparticles. In this disclosure, it is demonstrated that by integrating a voltage-tunable polarizer into optical microscopy, one is able to achieve high precision nano-imaging without mechanically induced image shift. It is also demonstrated that by integrating a voltage-tunable polarizer into photographic imaging system, one can achieve high-speed suppression of reflection glare and/or high-speed variation light exposure to the imager. By applying amplitude-modulated voltages, high-speed rotation of the transmission polarization and/or modulation of transmission intensity can be achieved for dynamic polarimetric nano-imaging. In addition, it is also demonstrated that by integrating a voltage-tunable polarizer into a photographic camera system, one is able to remove glare from object surfaces for providing images with more contrast, and control the variable light exposure as a variable neutral density filter. |

| ABSTRACT | An ensemble of autoencoder models can be trained using different seeds. The trained ensemble of autoencoder models can be run on new time series data to generate a prediction associated with the new time series data. The new time series data can include multiple dimensions per time step. Reconstruction errors can be determined for the prediction. Dimensions having highest reconstruction errors can be selected among the multiple dimensions based on a threshold. The prediction can be segmented based on bursts of the reconstruction errors over time, where temporal segments can be obtained. At least one common pattern including a set of dimensions among the selected dimensions across the temporal segments can be obtained to represent a failure fingerprint. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure relates to processes, related polyacid polymers, and related articles for functionalizing a porous membrane by contacting the membrane with a polyacid polymer at low pH to stably adsorb a polyacid layer on the membrane pore surface, in particular polyacid polymers including repeating units with a pendent metal-binding ligand or star polyacid polymers. The resulting functionalized membrane is characterized by a high density of free acid groups, resulting in a higher specific capacity for its intended application. The process allows functionalization of porous membranes in a very simple, one-step process, for example without a need to derivatize an adsorbed polyacid layer to impart metal-binding ligand functionality thereto. Such functional membranes may find multiple uses, including rapid, selective binding of proteins for their purification or immobilization. |

| ABSTRACT | The subject invention provides materials and methods for single-step detection of target molecules in a sample. The methods and assays of the subject invention employ a dye-displacement strategy, in which aptamers complexed with a cyanine dye for sensitive and rapid detection of targets of interest. In the presence of a target, aptamer-target binding liberates the non-covalently bound aptamer-binding dye, resulting in optical changes that can be observed spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. The methods and assays of the subject invention enable the colorimetric detection of targets of interest regardless of their structure, sequence, target-binding affinity, and physicochemical properties of their targets. |

| ABSTRACT | Precise polarimetric imaging of polarization-sensitive nanoparticles is essential to resolving their accurate spatial positions beyond the diffraction limit. However, conventional technologies typically employ mechanically rotated optical components, causing beam deviation errors that cannot be corrected beyond the diffraction limit. To overcome this limitation, a spatially stable nano-imaging system is presented for polarization-sensitive nanoparticles. In this disclosure, it is demonstrated that by integrating a voltage-tunable polarizer into optical microscopy, one is able to achieve high precision nano-imaging without mechanically induced image shift. It is also demonstrated that by integrating a voltage-tunable polarizer into photographic imaging system, one can achieve high-speed suppression of reflection glare and/or high-speed variation light exposure to the imager. By applying amplitude-modulated voltages, high-speed rotation of the transmission polarization and/or modulation of transmission intensity can be achieved for dynamic polarimetric nano-imaging. In addition, it is also demonstrated that by integrating a voltage-tunable polarizer into a photographic camera system, one is able to remove glare from object surfaces for providing images with more contrast, and control the variable light exposure as a variable neutral density filter. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatus, and computer program products are for detecting whether a suspect component such as an integrated circuit (IC) or a system-on-chip (SoC) is recycled. Specifically, various embodiments involve processing power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) data obtained from a low drop-out regulator (LDO) used for the suspect component using a recycle detection machine learning model to generate a recycle prediction. In particular embodiments, the recycle detection machine learning model is developed based at least in part on degradation of PSRRs of LDOs. Accordingly, a determination is made as to whether the suspect component is recycled based on the recycle prediction. If so, then an indication that the suspect component is recycled is provided. |

| ABSTRACT | A system that controls a combustion engine stores network vectors in a memory that represent diverse and distinct spiking neural networks. The system decodes the network vectors and trains and evaluates the spiking neural networks. The system duplicates selected network vectors and crosses-over the duplicated network vectors that represent modified spiking neural networks. The system mutates the crossed-over duplicated network vectors by randomly modifying one or more portions of the crossing-over duplicated network vectors. The system meter exhaust gas into an intake manifold when an engine temperature exceeds a threshold, an engine load exceeds a threshold, an engine's rotation-per-minute rate exceeds a threshold, and a fuel flow exceeds a threshold. The system modifies fuel flow into an engine's combustion chamber on a cycle-to-cycle basis by the trained spiking neural network. |

| ABSTRACT | Measurement apparatuses and methods are disclosed for generating high-precision and -accuracy gas concentration maps that can be overlaid with 3D topographic images by rapidly scanning one or several modulated laser beams with a spatially-encoded transmitter over a scene to build-up imagery. Independent measurements of the topographic target distance and path-integrated gas concentration are combined to yield a map of the path-averaged concentration between the sensor and each point in the image. This type of image is particularly useful for finding localized regions of elevated (or anomalous) gas concentration making it ideal for large-area leak detection and quantification applications including: oil and gas pipeline monitoring, chemical processing facility monitoring, and environmental monitoring. |

| ABSTRACT | A high absorption photovoltaic material and method of making the material for use in a solar cell are disclosed. The photovoltaic material includes a surface modified with a layer of repeating photonic crystal structures. The photonic crystal structures are approximately inverse conically shaped and have a curved sidewall that has an approximately Gaussian shape. The photonic crystal structures generally have a high vertical depth and sidewall angle. The structures also have a gradient refractive index profile and exhibit the parallel-to-interface refraction light trapping effect. An anti-reflective coating is disposed over the photonic crystal structure layer. The photovoltaic material exhibits near unity light absorption over a broad range of visible and near infrared wavelengths and incidence angles, even at reduced thicknesses. The photovoltaic structures are formed via a combined photolithography and reactive-ion etching method at low power with a gas mixture having a high ratio of an etchant component to a passivation component. |

| ABSTRACT | The present technology can be used to control the current injection profile in the longitudinal direction of a high-power diode laser in order to optimize current densities as a function of position in the cavity to promote higher reliable output power and increase the electrical to optical conversion efficiency of the device beyond the level which can be achieved without application of this technique. This approach can be utilized, e.g., in the fabrication of semiconductor laser chips to improve the output power and wall plug efficiency for applications requiring improved performance operation. |

| ABSTRACT | Optical imaging or spectroscopy described can use laminar optical tomography (LOT), diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), or the like. An incident beam is scanned across a target. An orthogonal or oblique optical response can be obtained, such as concurrently at different distances from the incident beam. The optical response from multiple incident wavelengths can be concurrently obtained by dispersing the response wavelengths in a direction orthogonal to the response distances from the incident beam. Temporal correlation can be measured, from which flow and other parameters can be computed. An optical conduit can enable endoscopic or laparoscopic imaging or spectroscopy of internal target locations. An articulating arm can communicate the light for performing the LOT, DCS, or the like. The imaging can find use for skin cancer diagnosis, such as distinguishing lentigo maligna (LM) from lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM). |

How To Use This Page
THE FEDINVENT PATENT 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 Tuesday, May 23, 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 as it appears on the patent.
FILED
The date of 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 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.
