| ABSTRACT | The systems and methods can automatically determine a patient-specific set of stimulation parameters using optimization for exploring and/or programming a neurostimulation device, e.g., deep brain stimulation (DBS). In one implementation, the method may include receiving patient data and set of stimulation parameters associated stimulation delivered to a patient by a neurostimulation device. The method may include determining one or more objective metrics using the patient data for each set of stimulation parameters. The one or more objective metrics may be a quantitative value that represents a rating or score of tremor severity and/or side effect severity. The method may further include generating a patient specific response model using the one or more objective metrics and the associated set of stimulation parameters. The method may also include applying an optimization algorithm to the generated response model to determine a candidate set of one or more stimulation parameters. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides extended bisphosphonate-based metal complexes using benzene1,4-bis(bisphosphonic acid) (BBPA), an analog of benzene 1,4-dicarboxylic acid (BDC). Hydrothermal synthesis of BBPA with the bioactive metals Ca2+, Zn2+, and Mg2+ leads to four crystals phases, namely, BBPA-Ca forms I and II, BBPA-Zn form I, and BBPA-Mg form I. Out of the three structures, BBPA-Ca form II presents large channels (8 Å×12 Å), potentiating the use of this framework to load drugs. Cytotoxicity effects of BBPA was elucidated in a human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and a normal osteoblast hFOB 1.19 cell lines. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for BBPA used to treat both cell lines were >200 μM at 24, 48, and 72 h of treatment. The BBPA in the range of concentration employed (0-200 μM) was not cytotoxic against these cell lines. |

| ABSTRACT | Images are reconstructed from undersampled k-space data using a residual machine learning algorithm (e.g., a ResNet architecture) to estimate missing k-space lines from acquired k-space data with improved noise resilience. Using a residual machine learning algorithm provides for combining the advantages of both linear and nonlinear k-space reconstructions. The linear residual connection can implement a convolution that estimates most of the energy in k-space, and the multi-layer machine learning algorithm can be implemented with nonlinear activation functions to estimate imperfections, such as noise amplification due to coil geometry, that arise from the linear component. |

| ABSTRACT | A delta sigma modulator includes a summation circuit, at least one integrator, a multi-bit quantizer and a negative feedback circuit. The summation circuit is configured to produce a difference signal between a unipolar or bipolar analog input signal and an analog feedback signal. The integrator is operatively coupled to the summation circuit to integrate the difference signal. The multi-bit quantizer is operatively coupled to the integrator to digitize the integrated signal to generate an N-bit digital output signal, N being an integer greater than 1. The negative feedback circuit operatively couples the multi-bit quantizer to the summation circuit. The negative feedback circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter arrangement for receiving the N-bit digital output signal and providing the analog feedback signal such that digital values of the N-bit digital output signal and values of the analog feedback encoded by the digital values have a non-linear relationship to one another. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for identifying observation points for integrated circuit (IC) testing includes receiving a netlist for an IC that includes a first subcircuit and a second subcircuit; determining, from the netlist, one or more observation points, each determined observation point corresponding to an output node which provides observability, into at least the first subcircuit, of an effective number of gates above a specified threshold; and inserting a design for test element into a layout file of the IC at each determined observation point. Observation points can be determined by transforming the netlist into a node graph; assigning a same initial value to a value field of each node; and propagating values in the value fields of the nodes until all nodes with a succeeding edge have a value of zero in their value fields. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for performing open-loop quantum error mitigation using quantum measurement emulations are provided. The open-loop quantum error mitigation methods do not require the performance of state readouts or state tomography, reducing hardware requirements and increasing overall computation speed. To perform a quantum measurement emulation, an error mitigation apparatus is configured to stochastically apply a quantum gate to a qubit or set of qubits during a quantum computational process. The stochastic application of the quantum gate projects the quantum state of the affected qubits onto an axis, reducing a trace distance between the quantum state and a desired quantum state. |

| ABSTRACT | Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) generation and/or recombination in heterojunction devices is suppressed by unconventional doping at or near the heterointerface. The effect of this doping is to shift SRH generation and/or recombination preferentially into the wider band gap material of the heterojunction. This reduces total SRH generation and/or recombination in the device by decreasing the intrinsic carrier concentration ni at locations where most of the SRH generation and/or recombination occurs. The physical basis for this effect is that the SRH generation and/or recombination rate tends to decrease as ni around the depletion region decreases, so decreasing the effective ni in this manner is a way to decrease SRH recombination. |

| ABSTRACT | A microwave-induced heating of CNT filled (or coated) polymer composites for enhancing inter-bead diffusive bonding of fused filament fabricated parts. The technique incorporates microwave absorbing nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes (CNTs)) onto the surface or throughout the volume of 3D printer polymer filament to increase the inter-bead bond strength following a post microwave irradiation treatment and/or in-situ focused microwave beam during printing. The overall strength of the final 3D printed part will be dramatically increased and the isotropic mechanical properties of fused filament part will approach or exceed conventionally manufactured counterparts. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides extended bisphosphonate-based metal complexes using benzene1,4-bis(bisphosphonic acid) (BBPA), an analog of benzene 1,4-dicarboxylic acid (BDC). Hydrothermal synthesis of BBPA with the bioactive metals Ca2+, Zn2+, and Mg2+ leads to four crystals phases, namely, BBPA-Ca forms I and II, BBPA-Zn form I, and BBPA-Mg form I. Out of the three structures, BBPA-Ca form II presents large channels (8 Å×12 Å), potentiating the use of this framework to load drugs. Cytotoxicity effects of BBPA was elucidated in a human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and a normal osteoblast hFOB 1.19 cell lines. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for BBPA used to treat both cell lines were >200 μM at 24, 48, and 72 h of treatment. The BBPA in the range of concentration employed (0-200 μM) was not cytotoxic against these cell lines. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention includes systems having a cover attached to a frame, and a transmission unit with a rotational device connected to or part of the frame. The cover is mechanically connected to the at least one rotational device. A vibration dampening unit mechanically connected to the transmission unit such that translational movement (e.g. vertical movements) of the cover causes rotational movement of the rotational device. The rotational movement is, in turn, transmitted to the vibration dampening unit via the transmission unit. Preferably, the vibration dampening unit is a passive unit and also a resistance force modulated vibration dampening unit. The invention also includes methods for dampening vibrations on a load which includes converting translational movement of a load to rotational movement in a transmission unit, the transmission magnifies the displacement and speed of the rotational movement, and then transmitting the rotational movement to a vibration dampening unit, which dissipated the vibrational energy. |

| ABSTRACT | Examples of systems and methods described herein may be used to track a tagged object through a scene. Techniques are described herein to calculate a position of the tag using wireless communication with multiple anchor devices. In some examples, the anchor devices may be self-localizing, e.g., they may dynamically determine their position and relationship to one another. In some examples, position of a tag may be calculated by calculating multiple candidate positions using different localization techniques—such as geometric localization techniques and/or optimization-based techniques. An error may also be identified associated with each candidate position. A final position may be determined for the tag based on the errors associated with the candidate positions (e.g., the candidate position with the smallest error may be utilized as the position, e.g., the determined position, of the tag). |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a hybrid electronic and magnetic structure that enables a transformer with fractional and reconfigurable effective turns ratios (e.g. 12:0.5, 12:⅔, 12:1, and 12:2) and hereinafter referred to as a Variable-Inverter-Rectifier-Transformer (VIRT). A VIRT is valuable in converters having wide operating voltage ranges and high step-up/down, as it offers a means to reduce turns count and copper loss within a transformer while facilitating voltage doubling and quadrupling. Such characteristics are beneficial for reducing the size of a transformer stage in many power electronics applications, such as USB wall chargers. In embodiments, a VIRT comprises a plurality of switching cells distributed around a magnetic core and coupled to half-turns wound through that core. By controlling operating modes of the switching cells, it is possible to gain control over flux paths and current paths in the transformer. |

Before the client reaches an access touchpoint, the provider system receives from the client device a request for client access, the provider system sends to the client device a request for identification information of the client, and the client device sends client information associated with a first mobile identification credential (MIC) which the client device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the client having consented to release the client information to the provider system, and the client information having been verified. The provider system performs a liveness check of the client using live-captured biometric information at the access touchpoint, determines whether the liveness check is valid, and grants the request if the liveness check is valid. |

| ABSTRACT | A processor coupled to a first communication device produces and transmits a first encoded vector and a second encoded vector to a second communication device via a communication channel that applies a channel transformation to the encoded vectors during transmission. A processor coupled to the second communication device receives the transformed signals, constructs a matrix based on the transformed signals, detects an effective channel thereof, and identifies left and right singular vectors of the effective channel. A precoding matrix is selected from a codebook of unitary matrices based on a message, and a second encoded vector is produced based on a second known vector, the precoding matrix, a complex conjugate of the left singular vectors, and the right singular vectors. A first symbol of the second encoded vector and a second symbol of the second encoded vector are sent to the first communication device for identification of the message. |

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, August 01, 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:
