| ABSTRACT | A system and method is presented for cuff-less blood pressure measurement in a mobile device. A key aspect of this disclosure is the discovery of a new location for blood pressure measurement at the fingertip of a subject and that reflectance-mode photoplethysmography can be used to help make this measurement. Through experiments in human subjects, it was discovered that it is indeed possible to measure systemic blood pressure by having a subject press the fingertip against a reflectance-mode photo-plethysmography-force sensor unit under visual guidance and then compute blood pressure from the resulting variable-amplitude blood volume oscillations and applied pressure via an oscillometric algorithm. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure generally relates to stable water isotope labeling followed by detection via MRI (swiMRI), including deuterium MRI (dMRI) and 17O MRI, for visualizing rapidly dividing immune cells within target and/or lymphoid organ/s and/or tissues affected by chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Using deuterated water labeling, followed by dMRI, a distinction in deuterium signal was detected in a target organ (e.g. liver) of the cGVHD-affected mice compared to unaffected mice, i.e. syngeneic HSCT recipient mice, where the host and donor are matched, and normal (unmanipulated) mice. |

| ABSTRACT | Implantable sensors for determining bone health that can be utilized in conjunction with orthopedic implants are described. The sensors can include passive strain gauges or passive chemical sensors that can be read by radiographic imaging techniques. Sensors can be affixed to implantable support devices so as to non-invasively monitor the effect of load on the implant; for instance, to provide a quantitative assessment of when a fracture is sufficiently healed to allow safe weight-bearing upon the limb. Alternatively, sensors can monitor the health of a local implant area; for instance, to monitor the implant area of early stage infection or healing of a fusion procedure. |

| ABSTRACT | Pre-conditioning a vaccine site with a potent recall antigen such as tetanus/diphtheria (Td) toxoid can significantly improve the lymph node homing and efficacy of tumor antigen-specific DC vaccines. Patients given Td had enhanced DC migration bilaterally and significantly improved survival. In mice, Td pre-conditioning also enhanced bilateral DC migration and suppressed tumor growth in a manner dependent on the chemokines CCL3 and CCL21 and Td-activated CD4+ T cells. Interference with any component of this axis markedly reduced Td-mediated DC migration and antitumor responses. Our clinical studies and corroborating investigations in mice suggest that pre-conditioning with a potent recall antigen represents a viable strategy to increase DC homing to lymph nodes and improve antitumor immunotherapy. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure provides isolated or recombinant polypeptides that are useful to vaccinate individuals suffering from chronic/recurrent biofilm disease or as a therapeutic for those with an existing infection. The individual's immune system will then naturally generate antibodies which prevent or clear these bacteria from the host by interfering with the construction and or maintenance of a functional protective biofilm. Alternatively, antibodies to the polypeptides can be administered to treat or prevent infection. Bacteria that are released from the biofilm by our technology are more readily cleared by the remainder of the host's immune system. |

| ABSTRACT | A microfluidic-based device and system is disclosed for the high-throughput intracellular delivery of biomolecular cargo to cells (eukaryotic or prokaryotic) or enveloped viruses. Cargo integration occurs due to transient membrane permeabilization by exposure to bulk acoustic waves (BAWs) transduced from surface acoustic waves (SAWs) generated by a rapidly oscillating piezoelectric substrate. In this approach, temporary pores are established across the cellular membrane as cells are partially deformed and squeezed or subject to shearing forces as they travel through the vibrational modes created within the microfludic channel(s) of the device. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of reducing a symptom of a clinical disorder characterized by aberrantly elevated circulating aP2 is carried out by administering to a subject an inhibitor of secreted aP2, secretion of aP2, or a serum aP2 blocking agent. For example, glucose intolerance is reduced following administration of such an inhibitor or agent. Exemplary compositions inhibit cellular secretion of aP2 or bind to circulating aP2, thereby reducing the level or activity of aP2 in blood or serum. |

| ABSTRACT | The pocket detection platform (PDP) detects pathogens, toxins and chemicals of interest simultaneously by way of a multi-channeled, soft see-through plastic pouch design that consists of inner and outer compartments that promote compartmentalization and/or unidirectional sample flow. The platform enables the concurrent running of multiple detection assay techniques such as lateral flow immunoassays (LFI), Isothermal molecular assays (i.e., Recombinase Polymerase Amplification, or RPA) and/or paper-based chemical assays (i.e., M8, pH paper) from a single wet or dry sample with minimal sample processing. The PDP reduces soldier overburden by decreasing size weight, and power (SWaP) as well as training time, electronic burden, while providing a flexible, customizable assay platform that can be rapidly produced, assembled, sustained, and when contaminated, easily to dispose of. |

| ABSTRACT | A fan assembly includes a fan duct, an inlet fan, and an outlet guide vane assembly. The inlet fan forces fan exit air toward an aft end of the fan duct. The outlet guide vane assembly is located in the fan duct downstream of the inlet fan and adjusts a direction of the fan exit air, and includes a plurality of outlet guide vanes and a plurality of actuation assemblies that control rotation of the outlet guide vanes about a pitch axis. The outlet guide vanes include a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion rotatably coupled to an axially aft edge of the leading edge portion. The actuation assembly rotates the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion to minimize losses created by distortions in fan inlet air and created by the leading edge portion redirecting the fan exit air in the first direction. |

| ABSTRACT | A process is disclosed for cooling a material that includes semiconductor nanoparticles in matrix material by anti-Stokes up-conversion. The semiconductor nanoparticle matrix is irradiated by a laser with a photonic wavelength matched to the anti-Stokes photoluminescence of the semiconductor nanoparticle bandgap. The semiconductor nanoparticles absorb the laser photon and phonons (heat) from lattice vibrations to photoluminescence photons with higher energy than the photon that were absorbed. A net cooling effect is generated from the lower energy and lower temperature in the material after anti-Stoke up-conversion. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods, and computer readable medium described herein relate to techniques for characterizing and/or anomaly detection in integrated circuits such as, but not limited to, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). In one example aspect of certain example embodiments, a fully digital technique relies on the pulse width of signals propagated through a path under test. In another example aspect, the re-configurability of the integrated circuit is leveraged to combine the pulse propagation technique with a delay characterization technique to yield better detection of certain type of Trojans and the like. Another example aspect provides for running the test through reconfigurable path segments in order to isolate and identify anomalous circuit elements. Yet another example aspect provides for performing the characterization and anomaly detection without requiring golden references and the like. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for supporting an interconnection of processor cores, each core with functional state monitors for monitoring operations of each processor core, the processor cores interconnected using a resistive network connected between two-terminal regions being embedded in the resistive network such that each terminal of a region may be connected by controllable resistors to one or both fixed rails or by controllable resistors to one or more intermediate nodes. The resistor values are configurable to provide indirect control of the voltages across each two-terminal region, allowing full dynamic control of voltages of the two-terminal regions in a range up to the full voltage between the two voltage rails, and where a management unit accesses the functional state monitors and controls the resistor values. Feedback from functional state monitors allow the operating frequency to extend down to arbitrarily low values and up to the limits imposed by the technology. |

| ABSTRACT | A system to manufacture a plurality of dies may include an etching tool, an electrically-conductive-adhesive-composition, a heat-applying-extraction-tool and a porous substrate cooperating with an evacuation component. The etching tool uses an ion beam that is configured to singulate a plurality of dies on a wafer with an ion etching process. The electrically-conductive-adhesive-composition is located between the wafer and a porous substrate carrying the wafer during the ion etching process. The electrically-conductive-adhesive-composition adheres the wafer to the porous substrate to keep the dies in place during the ion etching process. The electrically-conductive-adhesive-composition also aids in conducting electrons away from the wafer as a drain during the ion etching process. The heat-applying-extraction-tool applies heat to an individual die during a handling process of the manufacturing process in order to melt the electrically-conductive-adhesive-composition through the porous substrate to an evacuation component in order to then pick up an individual die singulated from the wafer. |

| ABSTRACT | A filter-based color imaging array that resolves N different colors detects only 1/Nth of the incoming light. In the thermal infrared wavelength range, filtering loss is exacerbated by the lower sensor detectivity at infrared wavelengths than at visible wavelengths. To avoid loss due to filtering, most spectral imagers use bulky optics, such as diffraction gratings or Fourier transform interferometers, to resolve different colors. Fortunately, it is possible to avoid filtering loss without bulky optics: detect light with interleaved arrays of sub-wavelength-spaced antennas tuned to different wavelengths. An optically sensitive element inside each antenna absorbs light at the antenna's resonant wavelength. Metallic slot antennas offer high efficiency, intrinsic unidirectionality, and lower cross-talk than dipole or bowtie antennas. Graphene serves at the optically active material inside each antenna because its 2D nature makes it easily adaptable to this imager architecture. |

| ABSTRACT | A fall prevention device configured to be coupled to a person and comprising a mechanical torso configured to be coupled to the person's torso and a mechanical structure configurable to be coupled to the mechanical torso from its first end. The mechanical structure and mechanical torso resist forces at least along one direction to maintain their posture relative to each other. In operation the second end of the mechanical structure is positioned behind the person and substantially close to the ground. When the second end of the mechanical structure contacts the ground, contact points of legs of the person on the ground and contact points of the second end of the mechanical structure outline a multi-sided polygon on the ground. If the vertical projection of the center of gravity of the person to the ground intersects the ground within the multi-sided polygon, the person and fall prevention device remain stable. |

| ABSTRACT | Enabling quick feature delivery is essential for product success and is therefore a goal of software architecture design. But how may we determine if and to what extent an architecture is “good enough” to support feature addition and modification, or determine if a refactoring effort is successful in that features may be added more easily? The applications may use Feature Space and Feature Dependency, derived from a software project's revision history that capture the dependency relations among the features of a system in a feature dependency structure matrix (FDSM), using features as first-class design elements. The applications may also use a Feature Decoupling Level (FDL) metric that may be used to measure the level of independence among features. |

| ABSTRACT | An end-to-end software framework is provided for information extraction, enrichment, and caching in applications that involve exploring real-world data through a camera-based viewport in an augmented reality (AR) setting. It allows users to gather supplementary information through cross-modal data fusion against cloud-based datastores. Additional context is provided by retrieving data units from remote datastores that are relevant to the queried item. Given that such datastores often do not fit in main memory, a client-server architecture is used. Users interact with real-world objects via a camera-enabled client interface, and queries are executed using gesture-based interactions as supplementary information is retrieved from a back-end server (if necessary) and overlaid in the client's live camera-view. |

| ABSTRACT | Communication systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the invention employ a rateless coding strategy in which an encoder utilizes codewords located within a restricted subset of a multi-dimensional sphere. In one embodiment, a transmitter is configured to encode message data as symbols using a rateless code until an end of epoch message is received, where the rateless code comprises a set of codewords characterized in that they are located within a restricted subset of a multi-dimensional sphere. A receiver receives observed symbols and at each of a predetermined set of decode times, determines whether a decoding rule is satisfied. When the decoding rule is satisfied, the receiver decodes at least one message using the rateless code and transmits an end of epoch message. |

| ABSTRACT | An innovative method is implemented to determine a robocall and blocks the incoming communication deemed to be a robocall. The method leverages blockchain's shared storage, memory, and ability to transact all information across a network and independently verified and stored on the immutable blockchain. The method takes advantage high-speed cellular network to process each communication with high-speed. Further, the method integrates blockchain encryption, swarm intelligence (SI), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, a telecommunication expert knowledge graph (TEKG), and real-time parsing of records to block robocalls and reduce connection delays. All modules can evolve and update themselves with each use of the present invention through various SI, AI, and ML technologies. Additionally, the method includes a localized call-filtering feature based on state and federal laws to ensure the blocking of calls that are prohibited by either federal or state governments thereby facilitating recovery of damages. |

| ABSTRACT | A heat exchanger includes a shell housing a plurality of tubes and defining an exhaust fluid flow path within a first volume enclosed by the shell. The outer surfaces of the plurality of tubes are in fluid communication with the exhaust fluid flow path. The heat exchanger includes a cap attached to a first end of the shell and defining a second volume. A header is configured to separate the first volume from the second volume, flex with thermal expansion, and define tube inlet and outlet positions. The tube inlets and outlets are in fluid communication with a source fluid flow path, and each tube is substantially U-shaped and defines a flow path of the source fluid within the exhaust fluid flow path. The heat exchanger includes at least one longitudinal flow baffle within the shell configured to reduce an amount of exhaust fluid that may bypass the tubes. |

| ABSTRACT | A frequency-measurement method uses a dual frequency-comb spectrometer as an optical wavemeter to measure the frequency of a reference laser that is used to frequency-stabilize the spectrometer. The method includes measuring a walking rate of center bursts in a sequence of interferograms recorded by the spectrometer, determining a number of teeth in each of a plurality of Nyquist windows formed by the dual frequency-comb spectrometer, and determining a Nyquist number of the one Nyquist window covering the laser frequency. The reference laser frequency can then be determined from the number of teeth in each Nyquist window, the Nyquist number, and the comb spacing of either one of the two frequency combs of the dual frequency-comb spectrometer. The reference laser frequency does not need to be measured with a separate wavemeter, or calibrated with respect to a known atomic or molecular transition. |

| ABSTRACT | A castable, moldable, or extrudable magnesium-based alloy that includes one or more insoluble additives. The insoluble additives can be used to enhance the mechanical properties of the structure, such as ductility and/or tensile strength. The final structure can be enhanced by heat treatment, as well as deformation processing such as extrusion, forging, or rolling, to further improve the strength of the final structure as compared to the non-enhanced structure. The magnesium-based composite has improved thermal and mechanical properties by the modification of grain boundary properties through the addition of insoluble nanoparticles to the magnesium alloys. The magnesium-based composite can have a thermal conductivity that is greater than 180 W/m-K, and/or ductility exceeding 15-20% elongation to failure. |

| ABSTRACT | Communication systems are described that use unequally spaced constellations that have increased capacity compared to conventional constellations operating within a similar SNR band. One embodiment is a digital communications system including a transmitter transmitting signals via a communication channel, the transmitter including a coder capable of receiving user bits and outputting encoded bits at a rate, a mapper capable of mapping encoded bits to symbols in a constellation, and a modulator capable of generating a modulated signal for transmission via the communication channel using symbols generated by the mapper, wherein the constellation is unequally spaced and characterizable by assignment of locations and labels of constellation points to maximize parallel decode capacity of the constellation at a given signal-to-noise ratio so that the constellation provides a given capacity at a reduced signal-to-noise ratio compared to a uniform constellation that maximizes the minimum distance between constellation points of the uniform constellation. |

| ABSTRACT | A 4D-perfused tumoroid-on-a-chip platform used in personalized cancer treatment. The platform includes a plate with a plurality of bottomless wells that resides atop a microfluidic channel layer, which in turn resides atop a surface acoustic wave (SAW) based sensor layer that is capable of measuring potential pH values of fluids disposed within the platform. The microfluidic channel layer includes a plurality of bioreactors, with each bioreactor including an inlet well, a culture well, and an outlet well. The inlet well, culture well, and outlet well form a closed system via fluid conduits spanning from the inlet well to the culture well, as well as from the culture well to the outlet well. Due to the fluid flow from the plate to the chip, and from the inlet well to the outlet well on the chip through the culture well, target cell (tumoroid) growth is promoted within the culture well. |

| ABSTRACT | An innovative method is implemented to determine a robocall and blocks the incoming communication deemed to be a robocall. The method leverages blockchain's shared storage, memory, and ability to transact all information across a network and independently verified and stored on the immutable blockchain. The method takes advantage high-speed cellular network to process each communication with high-speed. Further, the method integrates blockchain encryption, swarm intelligence (SI), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, a telecommunication expert knowledge graph (TEKG), and real-time parsing of records to block robocalls and reduce connection delays. All modules can evolve and update themselves with each use of the present invention through various SI, AI, and ML technologies. Additionally, the method includes a localized call-filtering feature based on state and federal laws to ensure the blocking of calls that are prohibited by either federal or state governments thereby facilitating recovery of damages. |

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, June 27, 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.
You can also reach this page using the weekly page link that looks like this:
