| ABSTRACT | A control system and method for tensioning an active tether for a multirotor unmanned aerial system is provided. The control system includes a tensioning pulley and a tensioning spring. The tensioning spring is arranged to generate a variable tension force on the active tether. A transducer is connected adjacent to the tensioning spring to sense a linear displacement position of the tensioning pulley and to transmit a position signal to a controller. The position signal is proportional to the linear displacement position. A servomotor in communication with the controller receives a control signal from the controller in response to the position signal. The servomotor drives a cable reel. The cable reel is rotatably mounted in the frame for spooling the tether in response to rotation of the servomotor. The cable reel is rotated by the servomotor to maintain a predetermined tension on the tensioning spring. |

| ABSTRACT | One of the biggest challenges for all renewable energy sources (RES) is that they are variable power generators which will require reactive power or energy storage systems (ESS) to provide reliable power quality (ideally power factor of one) at the power grid generation side. The present invention is directed to a power packet network (PPN) for integrating wave energy converter (WEC) arrays into microgrids. Specifically, an array of WECs can be physically positioned such that the incoming regular waves will produce an output emulating an N-phase AC system such that the PPN output power is constant. ESS requirements are thereby minimized whilst maintaining grid stability with high power quality. This will enable RES integration onto a future smart grid for large-scale adoption and cost reduction while preserving high efficiency, reliability, and resiliency. |

| ABSTRACT | Several innovative technologies, including pressure-drop minimization, advanced refractory high entropy alloys, and advanced manufacturing can provide a compact heat exchanger that extends the state-of-the-art heat-exchanger operating range. The compact heat exchanger can reduce pressure drop losses by 100 to 500%, while retaining most of the heat transfer. The compact heat exchanger can be fabricated from refractory high entropy alloys that have favorable corrosion, thermal fatigue, and creep properties at high temperatures and pressures. Therefore, the compact heat exchanger using high entropy alloys can operate at >800° C. and 80 bars. |

| ABSTRACT | A particle imaging method for distinguishing between types of incident particles, such as neutrons, photons, and alphas, and improving the position resolution of particle imaging devices with matrix readout. The method includes high frequency multisampling readout electronics that provides the sequences of multiple measurements for each detected event, resulting in recorded detailed waveform information describing the signals. Such detailed information is used to approximate each signal waveform with a parameterized function in which the extracted parameter sets determine the type of the incident particle in an optimized fashion. The detailed event-by-event multisampling information for each signal readout channel in the matrix readout of the radiation imaging devices improves and optimizes the position resolution for variable shapes of the signals. Such devices can be used in mixed radiation fields, creating a new class of multimodal photon and neutron imagers. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for notifying a process about a creation or removal event of a named data element (NDE) in a coordination namespace distributed memory system. A controller runs methods to: generate a tuple corresponding to data generated by a requesting process, the tuple having a tuple name and data value; and generate a notification indicator in a pending notification list to indicate to one or more processes a notification of the creation or removal event associated with the corresponding tuple. Upon detecting the event performed on the tuple by a second process, the method further searches for NDEs in the distributed memory system having the same tuple name, and in response to determining an existence of an associated pending notification record in a pending notification list of records, notify each corresponding process of the one or more processes indicated in the list of the creation or removal event. |

| ABSTRACT | In some examples, thermal aware optimization logic determines a characteristic (e.g., a workload or type) of a wavefront (e.g., multiple threads). For example, the characteristic indicates whether the wavefront is compute intensive, memory intensive, mixed, and/or another type of wavefront. The thermal aware optimization logic determines temperature information for one or more compute units (CUs) in one or more processing cores. The temperature information includes predictive thermal information indicating expected temperatures corresponding to the one or more CUs and historical thermal information indicating current or past thermal temperatures of at least a portion of a graphics processing unit (GPU). The logic selects the one or more compute units to process the plurality of threads based on the determined characteristic and the temperature information. The logic provides instructions to the selected subset of the plurality of CUs to execute the wavefront. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods, systems, and devices for bias control for a memory device are described. A memory system may store indication of whether data is coherent. In some examples, the indication may be stored as metadata, where a first value indicates that the data is not coherent and a second value or a third value indicate that the data is coherent. When a processing unit or other component of the memory system processes a command to access data, the memory system may operate according to a device bias mode when the indication is the first value, and according to a host bias mode when the indication is the second value or the third value. |

| ABSTRACT | A processing system includes a first set of one or more processing units including a first processing unit, a second set of one or more processing units including a second processing unit, and a memory having an address space shared by the first and second sets. The processing system further includes a distributed coherence directory subsystem having a first coherence directory to support a first subset of one or more address regions of the address space and a second coherence directory to support a second subset of one or more address regions of the address space. In some implementations, the first coherence directory is implemented in the system so as to have a lower access latency for the first set, whereas the second coherence directory is implemented in the system so as to have a lower access latency for the second set. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates to magnetocaloric materials comprising alloys useful for magnetic refrigeration applications. In some embodiments, the disclosed alloys may be Cerium, Neodymium, and/or Gadolinium based compositions that are fairly inexpensive, and in some cases exhibit only 2nd order magnetic phase transitions near their curie temperature, thus there are limited thermal and structural hysteresis losses. This makes these compositions attractive candidates for use in magnetic refrigeration applications. Surprisingly, the performance of the disclosed materials is similar or better to many of the known expensive rare-earth based magnetocaloric materials. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention features a new way of doping layered cathode materials in lithium ion batteries. Using a “high entropy” doping strategy, more than four impurity elements can be introduced to the host materials. The present invention applies this high entropy doping strategy to a high nickel content layered oxide material and a lithium-manganese rich material. This new high entropy doping strategy allows the layered oxide materials used in the positive electrode of lithium ion battery to achieve high energy density, long life cycle and reduced reliance on the expensive and toxic cobalt, all of which are desired attributes for improving the performance of lithium ion batteries and reducing their cost. |

| ABSTRACT | A hybrid power generation system is formed by the combination of an energy storage system (ESS) and a rotating synchronous power generator (SPG). Energy is stored in or released from the ESS in response to measurements of the at least one angle parameter, selected from rotor, torque, or power angle of the SPG, to provide active frequency damping of electrical power output. The control of ESS energy exchange increases the stabilizing impact of the SPG inertia on the frequency of electricity in an electrical network or power grid. The hybrid power generation system can have an effective equal area criterion for stability limit that is greater than that of the SPG operating without the ESS. The hybrid power generation system can enable the electrical network to have a greater proportion of variable or distributed energy resource (DER) power generation systems without otherwise exceeding stability limits. |

| ABSTRACT | An industrial asset may have monitoring nodes that generate current monitoring node values. A dynamic, resilient estimator may split a temporal monitoring node space into normal and one or more abnormal subspaces associated with different kinds of attack vectors. According to some embodiments, a neutralization model is constructed and trained for each attack vector using supervised learning and the associated abnormal subspace. In other embodiments, a single model is created using out-of-range values for abnormal monitoring nodes. Responsive to an indication of a particular abnormal monitoring node or nodes, the system may automatically invoke the appropriate neutralization model to determine estimated values of the particular abnormal monitoring node or nodes (e.g., by selecting the correct model or using out-of-range values). The series of current monitoring node values from the abnormal monitoring node or nodes may then be replaced with the estimated values. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for measuring biomechanical properties of tissues without external excitation are capable of measuring and quantifying these parameters of tissues in situ and in vivo. The system and method preferably utilize a phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for measuring the displacement caused by the intrinsic heartbeat. The method allows noninvasive and nondestructive quantification of tissue mechanical properties. Preferably, the method is used to detect tissue stiffness and to evaluate its stiffness due to intrinsic pulsatile motion from the heartbeat. This noninvasive method can evaluate the biomechanical properties of the tissues in vivo for detecting the onset and progression of degenerative or other diseases and evaluating the efficacy of therapies. |

| ABSTRACT | A small diameter surgical tool implements an agonist-antagonist deflectable joint. The deflectable joint is an actuatable bendable structure that uses push-pull, agonist-antagonist action of a pair of nested tubes to actuate the joint. The tubes are designed to have non-central, offset neutral axes, and they are fixed together at locations distal to the deflectable joint, such as at their distal ends. Axial translations of the tubes relative to each other causes a push-pull, agonist-antagonist action between the tubes, which causes the deflectable joint to bend. In one implementation, a deflectable joint can be created in nested tubes by configuring radial portions of the tube sidewalls extending along the joint to have an axial region of reduced stiffness. As a result, axial agonist-antagonist motion between the tubes can cause bending of the deflectable joint. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to multiple aperture devices (MADs) for beam shaping in x-ray imaging. Two or more of these binary filters can be placed in an x-ray beam in series to permit a large number of x-ray fluence profiles. However, the relationship between particular MAD designs and the achievable fluence patterns is complex. The present invention includes mathematical and physical models that are used within an optimization framework to find optimal MAD designs. Specifically, given a set of target fluence patterns, the present invention finds, for example, a dual MAD design that is a “best fit” in generating the desired fluence patterns. This process provides a solution for both the design of MAD filters as well as the control actuation that is required (relative motion between MADs) that needs to be specified as part of the operation of a MAD-based fluence field modulation system. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention provides a method of modulating electrophysiological activity of an excitable cell. The method involves causing exogenous expression of a glycine receptor (GlyR) protein in an excitable cell of a subject. Thereafter, the excitable cell is exposed to an allosteric modulator of the GlyR protein. Modulation of the exogenous GlyR protein (an ion channel) in response to the allosteric modulator modulates the electrophysiological activity of the excitable cell. The method can be used to control pain in a subject. The invention further provides a replication-defective HSV vector comprising an expression cassette encoding a GlyR protein, stocks and pharmaceutical compositions containing such vectors, and a transgenic animal. |

| ABSTRACT | Cleavable nucleotide analogs are provided. The nucleotide analog includes a nucleotide molecule attached to a cleavable moiety wherein the cleavable moiety comprises a protective group and/or a linker attached to a fluorophore. The cleavable moiety is linked to the oxygen atom of the 3′-OH of the pentose of the nucleotide molecule. The nucleotide analogs can be used in making polynucleotide molecules using template independent polymerases. The nucleotide analogs can act as reversible terminators during DNA sequencing by synthesis. The cleavage of the cleavable moiety restores a free 3′-OH functional group allowing growth of the polynucleotide molecule. The general structures as well as proposed synthetic schemes for the nucleotide analogs are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for determining the exact pair of alleles corresponding to polymorphic genes from sequencing data and for using the polymorphic gene information in formulating an immunogenic composition. Reads from a sequencing data set mapping to the target polymorphic genes in a canonical reference genome sequence, and reads mapping within a defined threshold of the target gene sequence locations are extracted from the sequencing data set. Additionally, all reads from the set data set are matched against a probe reference set, and those reads that match with a high degree of similarity are extracted. Either one, or a union of both these sets of extracted reads are included in a final extracted set for further analysis. Ethnicity of the individual may be inferred based on the available sequencing data which may then serve as a basis for assigning prior probabilities to the allele variants. The extracted reads are aligned to a gene reference set of all known allele variants. The allele variant that maximizes a first posterior probability or posterior probability derived score is selected as the first allele variant. A second posterior probability or posterior probability derived score is calculated for reads that map to one or more other allele variants and the first allele variant using a weighting factor. The allele that maximizes the second posterior probability or posterior probability score is selected as the second allele variant. A system and method for identifying somatic changes in polymorphic loci using WES data. The exact pair of alleles corresponding to the polymorphic gene are determined as described using a normal or germline sample from an individual. A tumor or otherwise diseased sample is also retrieved from the individual and the corresponding WES data is generated. Reads corresponding to the polymorphic gene are extracted as described in the paragraph above. These reads are then aligned to the inferred pair of allele sequences. The alignment of the germline or normal reads to the inferred pair of alleles, along with the alignment of the tumor or diseased reads to the inferred pair of alleles are simultaneously used as inputs to somatic change detection algorithms to identify somatic changes with greater precision and sensitivity. |

| ABSTRACT | Imaging by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) requires that a sample be encased in an amorphous solid, such as amorphous ice. In current cryo-EM preparation systems, once the sample has been deposited on an EM grid and coated in the amorphous solid, the EM grid must be removed from vacuum and then transferred into the vacuum of the cryo-EM system. As a result, samples deposited on the grid are exposed to damage and contamination. The present invention provides improved EM grid handling systems and devices compatible with advanced cryo-EM sample preparation techniques and which reduce or eliminate exposure of the sample on the grid to atmosphere and elevated temperatures. These methods and devices will also significantly reduce handling time and complexities associated with cryo-EM sample preparation. |

| ABSTRACT | A conversion system for a tiltrotor aircraft may be configured to control tilting of a pylon assembly relative to a wing of the aircraft. The system may include a means for generating asymmetric thrust with a propulsion rotor carried by the pylon assembly to generate a first torque on the pylon assembly in a first direction. The system may include a brake mechanism to selectively resist the first torque on the pylon assembly by applying a second torque to the pylon assembly in a second direction opposite the first direction. The rotor (via asymmetric thrust generated by the rotor) and the brake mechanism are coordinated to work against each other to control the tilt rate and angle of the pylon assembly during conversion between flight modes of the tiltrotor aircraft. Other aspects of the present technology include methods of tilting rotors of tiltrotor aircraft using asymmetric thrust and brake mechanisms. |

| ABSTRACT | A hybrid propulsion system includes a housing, at least two electrodes, a solid-grain fuel material, a combustion chamber, an oxidizer port, and a nozzle. The housing has a first end and a second end and defines a cavity. The electrodes extend into the cavity. The fuel material is free of an oxidizer and is positioned in the cavity. The fuel material has a combustion surface and is exposed to the electrodes. The combustion chamber is defined between the combustion surface and the second end. The oxidizer port provides a flow of oxidizer to the combustion chamber. The nozzle is positioned at the second end. Combustion of the fuel material in the combustion chamber may be dominated by radiative heat transfer. Combustion of the fuel material in the combustion chamber may generate thrust of no more than 5 N at an oxidizer flow rate of no more than 5 g/s. |

| ABSTRACT | Compositions and methods for gene editing are provided. The methods employ an oligo-based annealing mechanism that is rooted in the process of DNA replication rather than homologous recombination (HR). Oligo incorporation efficiencies are comparable and often exceed those of CRISPR/cas9 editing without the need for double strand breaks (DSBs). By relying on the multiplex annealing of oligos rather than DSBs the process is highly scalable across a genomic region of interest and can generate many scarless modifications of a chromosome simultaneously. Combinatorial genomic diversity can be generated across a population of cells in a single transformation event; genomic landscapes can be traversed through successive iterations of the process, and genome-wide changes can be massively parallelized and amplified through systematic strain mating. |

| ABSTRACT | Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT)-based spectrum analyzers and spectrum analysis techniques are disclosed. Rather than using the standard Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), the FrFT may be used to view the signal content contained in a particular bandwidth. Usage of the FrFT in place of the frequency or time domain allows viewing of the signal in different dimensions, where “spectral” features of interest, or signal content, may appear where they were not visible in these domains before. This may allow signals to be identified and viewed in any domain within the continuous time-frequency plane, and may significantly enhance the ability to detect and extract signals that were previously hidden under interference and/or noise, provide or enhance the ability to extract signals from a congested environment, and enable operation in a signal-dense environment. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for mitigating interference in a frequency hopping channel system based on codeword metrics obtained during decoding of codewords. The method includes decoding a plurality of codewords using a particular error control coding method. Each of the plurality of codewords includes portions received from plurality of channels in the frequency hopping channel system. For each decoded codeword, one or more codeword metrics are obtained based on the cost of correcting errors during decoding of the plurality of codewords. Based on the codeword metrics, one or more channel metrics are inferred. Based on the inferred one or more channel metrics, a reliability metric of a particular channel is reduced, or incoming symbols received from the particular channel are ignored during decoding. |

| ABSTRACT | The manipulation and control of entangled particle and entangled photon properties by means of low loss interaction free quantum means is vital for studying the fundamentals of entanglement and for future applications in distributed quantum information processing, sensing and imaging. Despite its importance, achieving low loss interaction free manipulation and control of entanglement is difficult, particularly with pulsed networked systems with quantum properties changing in space and time and with intervening absorbing elements. This invention uses low loss quantum interaction free techniques and designs that can be miniaturized to efficiently and robustly send and receive quantum information and data using pulsed and continuous origin temporal and polarization entangled particles and entangled photons. The invention may be used to improve quantum communication of information and quantum networking in fiber optics, turbulent and scattering media, and free space. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments provide a system and method for extracting configuration-related information for reasoning about the security and functionality of a composed system. During operation, the system determines, by a computing device, information sources associated with hardware and software components of a system, wherein the information sources include at least specification sheets, standard operating procedures, user manuals, and vulnerability databases. The system selects a set of categories of vulnerabilities in a vulnerability database, and ingests the information sources to obtain data in a normalized format. The system extracts, from the ingested information sources, configuration information, vulnerability information, dependency information, and functionality requirements to create a model for the system. The system displays, on a screen of a user device, one or more interactive elements which allow the user to view or select the information sources and the categories of vulnerabilities, initiate ingesting the information sources, and view the extracted configuration information. |

| ABSTRACT | A cross-layer security scheme can be used for a Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) antenna-based large-scale multihop mobile ad hoc network (MANET) with a set of frequency-nonselective, slow/Rayleigh fading, and uncoded channels along with interference combining both physical, link, and higher layer encryption techniques for the payload in addition to signaling. Furthermore, MIMO-aware cross-layer secure MANET physical and key-based logical hierarchical routing proving scalability can be used. Security can be provided in Multi-Hop MIMO MANETs in Physical, medium access control (MAC), and internet protocol (IP) Routing layer. The MIMO-aware MANET IP Routing can include two kinds of routing: Physical Routing such as secure ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (SAODV) in the access MANET and Secure Key-based distributed hash table (DHT) “logical” routing in the backbone MANET. Both security and performance metrics can be employed to improve (e.g., optimize) both network secrecy and throughput/bandwidth capacity. |

| ABSTRACT | A small diameter surgical tool implements an agonist-antagonist deflectable joint. The deflectable joint is an actuatable bendable structure that uses push-pull, agonist-antagonist action of a pair of nested tubes to actuate the joint. The tubes are designed to have non-central, offset neutral axes, and they are fixed together at locations distal to the deflectable joint, such as at their distal ends. Axial translations of the tubes relative to each other causes a push-pull, agonist-antagonist action between the tubes, which causes the deflectable joint to bend. In one implementation, a deflectable joint can be created in nested tubes by configuring radial portions of the tube sidewalls extending along the joint to have an axial region of reduced stiffness. As a result, axial agonist-antagonist motion between the tubes can cause bending of the deflectable joint. |

| ABSTRACT | A method providing direct access to porous three-dimensionally (3D) continuous polymer network structures and shapes by combining BCP-resol co-assembly with CO2 laser-induced transient heating. The CO2 laser source transiently heats the BCP-directed resol hybrid films to high temperatures at the beam position, inducing locally controlled resol thermopolymerization and BCP decomposition in ambient conditions. This enables shaping of BCP-directed porous resin structures with tunable 3D interconnected pores in a single process. Pore size can be varied from 10 nm to about 600 nm. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for the control of fluids and, in some cases, to systems and methods for flowing a fluid into and/or out of other fluids. As examples, fluid may be injected into a droplet contained within a fluidic channel, or a fluid may be injected into a fluidic channel to create a droplet. In some embodiments, electrodes may be used to apply an electric field to one or more fluidic channels, e.g., proximate an intersection of at least two fluidic channels. For instance, a first fluid may be urged into and/or out of a second fluid, facilitated by the electric field. The electric field, in some cases, may disrupt an interface between a first fluid and at least one other fluid. Properties such as the volume, flow rate, etc. of a first fluid being urged into and/or out of a second fluid can be controlled by controlling various properties of the fluid and/or a fluidic droplet, for example curvature of the fluidic droplet, and/or controlling the applied electric field. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods described herein relate to estimating risk associated with a vehicular maneuver. One embodiment acquires a geometric representation of an intersection including a lane in which a vehicle is traveling and at least one other lane; discretizes the at least one other lane into a plurality of segments; determines a trajectory along which the vehicle will travel; estimates a probability density function for whether a road agent external to the vehicle is present in the respective segments; estimates a traffic-conflict probability of a traffic conflict in the respective segments conditioned on whether an external road agent is present; estimates a risk associated with the vehicle following the trajectory by integrating a product of the probability density function and the traffic-conflict probability over the at least one other lane and the plurality of segments; and controls operation of the vehicle based, at least in part, on the estimated risk. |

| ABSTRACT | We disclose quinone compounds and related species (Formula I) that possess significant advantages when used as a redox active material in a battery, e.g., a redox flow battery. In particular, the compounds provide redox flow batteries (RFBs) with extremely high capacity retention. For example, RFBs of the invention can be cycled for 500 times with negligible loss of capacity, and such batteries could be employed for years of service. Thus, the invention provides a high efficiency, long cycle life redox flow battery with reasonable power cost, low energy cost, and all the energy scaling advantages of a flow battery. |

| ABSTRACT | Compositions and methods for gene editing are provided. The methods employ an oligo-based annealing mechanism that is rooted in the process of DNA replication rather than homologous recombination (HR). Oligo incorporation efficiencies are comparable and often exceed those of CRISPR/cas9 editing without the need for double strand breaks (DSBs). By relying on the multiplex annealing of oligos rather than DSBs the process is highly scalable across a genomic region of interest and can generate many scarless modifications of a chromosome simultaneously. Combinatorial genomic diversity can be generated across a population of cells in a single transformation event; genomic landscapes can be traversed through successive iterations of the process, and genome-wide changes can be massively parallelized and amplified through systematic strain mating. |

| ABSTRACT | An optical sensor system, comprising refractory plasmonic elements that can withstand temperatures exceeding 2500° C. in chemically aggressive and harsh environments that impose stress, strain and vibrations. A plasmonic metamaterial or metasurface, engineered to have a specific spectral and angular response, exhibits optical reflection characteristics that are altered by varying physical environmental conditions including but not limited to temperature, surface chemistry or elastic stress, strain and other types of mechanical load. The metamaterial or metasurface comprises a set of ultra-thin structured layers with a total thickness of less than tens of microns that can be deployed onto surfaces of devices operating in harsh environmental conditions. The top interface of the metamaterial or metasurface is illuminated with a light source, either through free space or via an optical fiber, and the reflected signal is detected employing remote detectors. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for testing memory includes logic that is configured to perform various normal memory operations (e.g., erase, read and write operations) on a memory device and to determine operational parameters associated with the memory operations. As an example, the amount of time to perform one or more memory operations may be measured, a number of errors resulting from the memory operations may be determined, or a number of memory cells storing noisy bits may be identified. One or more of the operational parameters may then be analyzed to determine whether they are in a range expected for counterfeit or defective memory. If so, the logic determines that the memory under test is counterfeit or defective and provides a notification about such determination. |

| ABSTRACT | A portable system for mounting a solar panel includes a modular base defining a set of interconnecting components that assemble via a set of intra-assembly features into a portable base for a solar panel. The modular base includes lower and upper relief to provide passive ventilation to the interior of the modular base and recesses to accommodate a user's appendages during assembly, and ballast volumes to retain a non-rigid ballast to weight the module base holding it in place. The modular base includes adjustable panel retention structures to constrain solar panels of a range of dimensions and configured to carry moisture away from the solar panel. The modular base includes a set of latches and corresponding latch receivers to fix adjacent modular bases together at a fixed distance less than the width of a human hand to form an array. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems for insulating a space vehicle or space borne container from an external environment as well as cryogens from heat sources. Such systems also protect the vehicle from the high dynamic pressures, the high heat loads encountered in atmospheric flight, and provide storage capability that strongly limits, or effectively eliminates, cryogenic boil-off losses once in space. Such systems include an expandable structure having a plurality of contiguously adjacent expandable layers. The layers are connected by a plurality of tension connectors between successive layers. For launch and flight the layers can be restrained in a collapsed position. Whereupon exiting a free stream environment, the layers are expanded where they can lock into place or otherwise remain in an expanded state. The expansion creates separation between the layers with minimal conduction paths providing near theoretically perfect multi-layer insulation and extremely effective debris protection. |

| ABSTRACT | An isolation coupler for coupling a functional element to a support structure includes a first bracket. The first bracket includes a number of first-bracket sides. The number of first-bracket sides forms a closed polygonal shape, in plan view. The isolation coupler further includes a number of isolators coupled to each one of the first-bracket sides. The isolation coupler also includes a second bracket. The second bracket includes a number of second-bracket sides. The second bracket sides are coupled to the isolators. The number of second-bracket sides is equal to the number of first-bracket sides and forms the closed polygonal shape, in plan view. The isolators separate each one of the first-bracket sides from a corresponding one of the second-bracket sides to attenuate a load transferred from the first bracket to the second bracket. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for evaluating a target, the target having a surface, includes pulsing a defined, energetic particle beam through the surface and into the target such that particle energy deposition from the particle beam is concentrated in a subsurface target volume within a target medium of the target. The deposited particle energy induces a thermoelastic expansion of the target medium in the target volume that generates a corresponding acoustic wave. The method further includes detecting the acoustic wave from the target medium. |

| ABSTRACT | A direct line-of-sight (DLOS) radio frequency (RF) signal component and a reflected RF signal component of an RF carrier signal are received from a transmitter. The reflected component is reflected from a point on the surface of the earth. The DLOS component is converted to a digital DLOS intermediate frequency (IF) signal and the reflected component that is converted to a digital reflected IF signal. Modeled reference signal parameters are generated using the digital DLOS IF signal and known locations of the one or more antennas, the transmitter, and the point. A reference signal is generated based on the modeled reference signal parameters and feedback of a previously estimated phase correction (Δϕ). The reference signal is correlated with the digital reflected IF signal to produce in-phase and quadrature-phase correlation results. Estimated carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N0) and Δϕ values are calculated for the digital reflected IF signal from the correlation results. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for evaluating a target, the target having a surface, includes pulsing a defined, energetic particle beam through the surface and into the target such that particle energy deposition from the particle beam is concentrated in a subsurface target volume within a target medium of the target. The deposited particle energy induces a thermoelastic expansion of the target medium in the target volume that generates a corresponding acoustic wave. The method further includes detecting the acoustic wave from the target medium. |

| ABSTRACT | In certain embodiments, this application discloses methods for detecting lung cancer. The method includes characterization of cells extracted from human sputum, which is a valuable tissue surrogate and source of upper respiratory cells that become cancerous early in the process of lung cancer development. The method includes the staining of extracted cells with fluorescent reporters that produce a specific pattern in the nuclei of labeled cells, which can be made visible by light microscopy. The pattern is relevant to a type of epigenetic coding of DNA known as DNA methylation, which changes in specific cells of the lung during cancer development, in comparison to normal respiratory cells. |

| ABSTRACT | Examples described herein relate to an optical device, such as, a ring resonator, that includes a ring waveguide. The ring resonator includes a ring waveguide to allow passage of light therethrough. Further, the ring resonator includes a modulator formed along a first section of the circumference of the ring waveguide to modulate the light inside the ring waveguide based on an application of a first reverse bias voltage to the modulator. Moreover, the ring resonator includes an avalanche photodiode (APD) isolated from the modulator and formed along a second section of the circumference of the ring waveguide to detect the intensity of the light inside the ring waveguide based on an application of a second reverse bias voltage to the APD. The second section is shorter than the first section, and the second reverse bias voltage is higher than the first reverse bias voltage. |

| ABSTRACT | A management system for managing the utilization of item receptacles in a distribution network. Items can be transferred to recipients at a limited number of item receptacles in unit delivery facilities of the distribution network. Item retrieval behavior is tracked to determine a recipient score for known recipients. Based on the recipient scores, subsequent items to be transferred can be placed in a receptacle or a storage area based on the associated recipient score. Placement in receptacles can be prioritized to recipients with low scores indicating that the item will likely be retrieved quickly, while items addressed to recipients with high scores may not be placed into a receptacle if receptacles are scarce. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention relates thin film nanocomposites (TFNCs) and methods of preparing the same by molecular layer-by-layer assembly. The TFNCs comprise a porous nanofibrous support first layer coated with a mid-layer having an outer separating layer, wherein the out separating layer has one or more bilayers or trilayers. The TFNCs can be particularly suitable for use as filtration membranes for the separation of dissolved components from fluids such as ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis. Thus, embodiments of the invention also include filtration systems and methods of filtering. |

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 15, 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.
