| ABSTRACT | A process for synthesizing Cu2-xS/PbS core/shell nanocrystals. Pb-oleate is mixed with 1-octadecene and heated to 60° C. Cu2-xS core solution and bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfide stock solution are added and the mixture is stirred at 60° C. for 6 minutes to form the PbS shell around the Cu2-xS nanocrystal cores. The flask is cooled and acetonitrile and toluene is added and the mixture is centrifuged to precipitate and remove the Cu2-xS/PbS core/shell nanocrystals from the reaction mixture. The reaction also produces homogeneously nucleated PbS nanocrystals, which are removed from the Cu2-xS/PbS core/shell reaction mixture via size-selective precipitation. By tailoring the amounts of Pb-oleate and bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfide stock solution in the reaction vessel, while maintaining their molar ratio of 1.5:1 and the number of Cu2-xS cores in the reaction, Cu2-xS/PbS core/shell nanocrystals having a predetermined shell thickness of PbS, and thus a predetermined level of chemical stability, can be obtained. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is a conductive ink composition and a manufacturing method thereof. The composition includes about 50 to about 99 wt % copper nanoparticles and about 1 to about 50 wt % tin. Copper nanoparticles are atomized and suspended in a tin bath, wherein the copper nanoparticles are evenly dispersed within the bath through sonification. The composition is cooled, extracted, and formed into a filament for use as a conductive ink. The ink has a resistivity of about 46.2×E−9 Ω*m to about 742.5×E−9 Ω*m. Once in filament form, the tin-copper mix will be viable for material extrusion, thus allowing for a lower cost, electrically conductive traces to be used in additive manufacturing. |

| ABSTRACT | A rocket booster has an annular shape, with a casing defining an annular space therewithin, and a solid rocket fuel in the annular spacing. The rocket booster also includes one or more nozzle pieces, mechanically coupled to the casing, that define one or more nozzles at the aft side of the rocket booster. The rocket booster may be mechanically coupled to an object protruding from the back of a fuselage of a flight vehicle, such as a missile. For example, the rocket booster may be placed around an aft turbojet nozzle of the flight vehicle. This allows the rocket booster to be used in situations where primary propulsion must be running both before and after (and perhaps during) the firing of the rocket booster. |

| ABSTRACT | A two-layer hybrid solid wedged etalon was fabricated and combined with a traditional imager to make a compact computational spectrometer. The hybrid wedge was made of Nb2O5 and Infrasil 302 and was designed to operate from 0.4-2.4 μm. Initial demonstrations used a CMOS imager and operated from 0.4-0.9 μm with spectral resolutions <30 cm−1 from single snapshots. The computational spectrometer operates similarly to a spatial Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer with spectral reconstruction using a non-negative least squares fitting algorithm based on analytically computed wavelength response vectors determined from extracted physical thicknesses across the entire two-dimensional wedge. This computational technique resulted in performance and spectral resolutions exceeding those that could be achieved from Fourier techniques. With an additional imaging lenses and translational scanning, the system can be converted into a hyperspectral imager. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of selecting and optimizing a countermeasure for application against a novel, ambiguous, or unresponsive radar threat includes selecting a candidate countermeasure and an initial parameter set and varying at least one of the parameters while the effectiveness of the candidate countermeasure against the radar threat is assessed, for example by a human observer. Embodiments include repeating the process with additional candidate countermeasures. For an unresponsive radar threat, a previously effective countermeasure can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. For an ambiguous radar threat, at least one countermeasure previously verified as effective against a partially matching known threat can be selected as the candidate countermeasure. Correlated parameters can be simultaneously varied. An optimization surface and trajectory formed by a plurality of correlated parameters can be identified by machine intelligence, used to guide the parameter variations, and/or stored for use against the same or similar threats in the future. |

| ABSTRACT | Devices and techniques for memory access bounds checking for a programmable atomic operator are described herein. A processor can execute a programmable atomic operator with a base memory address. The processor can obtain a memory interleave size indicator corresponding to the programmable atomic operator and calculate a contiguous memory address range from the base memory address and the memory interleave size. The processor can then detect that a memory request from the programmable atomic operator is outside the contiguous memory address range and deny the memory request when it is outside of the contiguous memory address range and allow the memory request otherwise. |

| ABSTRACT | Described is a system for onboard, real-time, activity detection and classification. During operation, the system detects one or more objects in a scene using a mobile platform and tracks each of the objects as the objects move in the scene to generate tracks for each object. The tracks are transformed using a fuzzy-logic based mapping to semantics that define group activities of the one or more objects in the scene. Finally, a state machine is used to determine whether the defined group activities are normal or abnormal phases of a predetermined group operation. |

| ABSTRACT | A transformer is provided which includes an insulating sheet separating the primary-side windings and portion of split magnetic core from the secondary-side windings and portion of split magnetic core. Thin layers of conductive and semiconductive material are deposited on areas of the insulating sheet surfaces facing the primary and secondary sides. These layers are electrically referenced or tied to the potentials of the respective primary or secondary sides. This ensures that the high electric field due to primary-to-secondary potential gradient is substantially placed across the insulating sheet dielectric and avoided in the air gaps or voids in the transformer, thus reducing undesirable partial discharge effects. The two core sections on the primary and secondary side are also electrically referenced or tied to the potentials of their adjacent windings, thus reducing high electric fields and partial discharge in the space between the core sections and the windings. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for symmetric encryption between a client and a server device include a client device having an array of physical unclonable function devices and a server device storing information sufficient to reconstruct responses of the devices to an applied stimulus such as varying levels of electrical current. The server shares a challenge with the client, which measures characteristics such as electrical resistances for a subset of the devices according to instructions extracted from the challenge. The client measures a corresponding reference device in the array for each device of the subset and assigns a value determined based on a comparison of each device with the corresponding reference device to generate a cryptographic key. The server calculates an expected response of the client to the challenge according to a model of the devices in the array, and uses the calculated response to generate the key independently. |

| ABSTRACT | A selector device includes a first electrode composed of a first metal having a first work function. A second electrode is composed of a second metal having a second work function. A selector layer is disposed between the first and second electrodes and is composed of a dielectric material having a conduction band and a valence band defining a band gap of at least 5 electron volts. Dopant atoms are disposed in the selector layer to form a sub-conduction band that is below the conduction band and above the work functions. When a threshold voltage is applied across the first and second electrodes, and a magnitude of the threshold voltage exceeds an energy difference between the sub-conduction band and the work functions, but does not exceed an energy difference between the conduction band and the work functions, an on-current will conduct through the selector layer. |

| ABSTRACT | Substituted nitrobenzothiazinones (BTZs) are potent antituberculosis prodrugs that are reductively activated to produce nitroso moieties that form covalent adducts with a cysteine residue of decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-ribose-2′-oxi-dase (DprE1) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The resulting cell wall synthesis inhibition is lethal to Mtb, leading to consideration of development of BTZs for clinical use. The hydride-induced reduction of the nitroaromatic proceeds by reversible formation of the corresponding Meisenheimer complex. Herein we demonstrate that chemical reduction of BTZ043 with NaBD4 followed by reoxidation incorporates deuterium into the core nitro aromatic warhead. Subsequent reduction of the deuterated species is not affected, but, as expected, reoxidation is slowed by the deuterium isotope effect, thus prolonging the lifetime of the active nitroso oxidation state. |

| ABSTRACT | Studies in mouse models of Fragile X and preliminary studies in human youth demonstrate that ERK1/2 is biomarker useful to monitoring the treatment of people diagnosed with ASD. Results reported herein demonstrate that acamprosate has the ability to reduce levels of ERK1/2 activation associated with many of the symptoms of ASD. Accordingly, in addition to its utility as a diagnostic marker for ASD ERK1/2 activation levels can be used to monitor patients treated with acamprosate and to screen potentially therapeutic compounds. |

| ABSTRACT | Apparatus and methods for producing thermal comfort using two point or multipoint heating or cooling that is applied to portion of a human body part to produce a warm or cool sensation over a larger area than that where the heating or cooling is directly applied. The body is induced to heat or cool itself by adjusting its neutral temperature setpoints. Increased warming perception from two-point, multipoint, and switching point stimulation causes downward adaptation in the neutral skin temperature of the user. Because spot heating and cooling sources operate at higher temperature differences from the skin than do area sources, they create a stronger perceived thermal sensation for the same power consumption. Point heating or cooling, rather than whole-area heating, can result in power savings and cost savings while improving occupant comfort. |

| ABSTRACT | An approach is disclosed that identifies a home node of a data granule. The process is performed by an information handling system (a local node) that retrieves a global virtual address directory. The global virtual address directory maps shared virtual addresses to a number nodes that includes the local node with one of the nodes being the home node. The shared virtual addresses correspond to a plurality of memory addresses that are stored in a shared virtual memory that is shared amongst the plurality of nodes. The approach receives a selected shared virtual address, retrieves, from the global virtual address directory, the home node associated with the selected shared virtual address, and accesses the data granule corresponding to the selected shared virtual address from the home node. |

| ABSTRACT | A molecular dynamics system employing a spliced soft-core potential (the “MD/SSCP”) facilitates studying the arrangement of particles in an enclosure and/or near an interface. In some embodiments, the MD/SSCP initializes a three-dimensional representation containing the enclosure and the particles in a first arrangement. The MD/SSCP conducts a first simulation to transition the representation to a second arrangement, during which the particles are allowed to move through a wall of the enclosure while the SSCP is unengaged. The MD/SSCP conducts a second simulation to transition the representation to a third arrangement, during which it becomes more difficult for the particles to move through the wall of the enclosure while the SSCP is gradually engaged. The MD/SSCP conducts a third simulation to transition the representation to a fourth arrangement of the particles, during which it becomes almost impossible for the particles to move through the wall of the enclosure. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for classifying a target image with segments having attributes is provided. The system generates a graph for the target image that includes vertices representing segments of the image and edges representing relationships between the connected vertices. For each vertex, the system generates a subgraph that includes the vertex as a home vertex and neighboring vertices representing segments of the target image within a neighborhood of the segment represented by the home vertex. The system applies an autoencoder to each subgraph to generate latent variables to represent the subgraph. The system applies a machine learning algorithm to a feature vector comprising a universal image representation of the target image that is derived from the generated latent variables of the subgraphs to generate a classification for the target image. |

| ABSTRACT | A power converter includes an unfolder connected to a three-phase source and has an output connection with three output terminals. A three-input converter connected to the unfolder produces a quasi-sinusoidal output voltage across converter output terminals. Switches of the converter selectively connect each of the three output terminals across the converter output terminals. A pulse-width modulation controller controls a first duty ratio and a second duty ratio for the converter based on a phase angle of the source and a modulation index generated from an error signal related to a control variable. The duty ratios are time varying at a rate related to a fundamental frequency of the source. The modulation index relates to output voltage of the converter, peak voltage or current of the source and/or peak current at the output terminals. |

| ABSTRACT | A data center cooling system has an indoor portion wherein heat is absorbed from components in the data center, and an outdoor heat exchanger portion wherein outside air is used to cool a first heat transfer fluid (e.g., water) present in at least the outdoor heat exchanger portion of the cooling system during a first mode. When an appropriate time has been reached to switch from the first mode to a second mode, the outdoor heat exchanger portion of the data cooling system is switched to a second heat transfer fluid, which is a relatively low performance heat transfer fluid (compared to the first fluid). It has a second heat transfer fluid freezing point, lower than the first heat transfer fluid freezing point, and sufficiently low to operate without freezing when the outdoor air temperature drops below a first predetermined relationship with the first heat transfer fluid freezing point. |

| ABSTRACT | A wireless anti-static device is disclosed, including an electronic sensing circuit that measures the polarity and electrostatic potential of the subject relative to its surroundings. Ion guns of positive and negative polarities are able to transfer an arbitrary quantity and polarity of charge from the subject by ejecting ionized air molecules into the surrounding environment. A control unit is programmed to trigger the appropriate ion gun when a corresponding charge is measured on the body, in order to continually maintain the net charge on the body below a desired threshold. The subject is thus effectively grounded relative to its environment without requiring physical tethers to ground. |

| ABSTRACT | Spiral forming methods can be used to join edges of a rolled material along a spiral joint to form conical and/or cylindrical structures. Alignment of the edges of the rolled material can be controlled in a wrapping direction as the material is being joined along the spiral joint to form the structure. By controlling alignment of the edges of the material as the edges of the material are being joined, small corrections can be made over the course of forming the structure facilitating control over geometric tolerances of the resulting spiral formed structure. |

| ABSTRACT | Methodology was developed for transformation of methionine residues into homocysteine derivatives. Methionine residues can undergo alkylation reactions at low pH to yield sulfonium ions, which can then be selectively demethylated to give alkyl homocysteine residues. This process tolerates many functional groups. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided are astexin-1, astexin-2 and astexin-3 lasso peptides, which are based on sequences identified in Asticaccaulis excentricus, and methods of making and using same. Astexin-1 is highly polar, in contrast to many lasso peptides that are primarily hydrophobic, and has modest antimicrobial activity against Caulobacter crescentus, a bacterium related to Asticaccaulis excentricus. The solution structure of astexin-1 was determined, revealing a unique topology that is stabilized by hydrogen bonding between segments of the peptide. Astexins-2 and -3 are intracellular lasso peptides. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for synthesizing a thermally conductive and stretchable elastomer composite comprises mixing liquid metal and soft material (e.g., elastomer) in a centrifugal or industrial shear mixer under conditions such that the liquid metal forms microscale liquid metal droplets that are dispersed in the soft elastomer. Liquid metal-embedded elastomers, or “LMEEs,” formed in this manner dramatically increase the fracture energy of soft materials up to 50 times over an unfilled polymer. This extreme toughening is achieved by means of (i) increasing energy dissipation, (ii) adaptive crack movement, and (iii) effective elimination of the crack tip. Such properties arise from the deformability and dynamic rearrangement of the LM inclusions during loading, providing a new mechanism to not only prevent crack initiation, but also resist the propagation of existing tears for ultra-tough, highly functional soft materials. |

| ABSTRACT | An autonomous vehicle uses machine learning based models to predict hidden context attributes associated with traffic entities. The system uses the hidden context to predict behavior of people near a vehicle in a way that more closely resembles how human drivers would judge the behavior. The system determines an activation threshold value for a braking system of the autonomous vehicle based on the hidden context. The system modifies a world model based on the hidden context predicted by the machine learning based model. The autonomous vehicle is safely navigated, such that the vehicle stays at least a threshold distance away from traffic entities. |

| ABSTRACT | A compound delivery device for delivering a plume derived from a propellant and a drug formulation. The drug formulation is in an intranasal dosage form in the form of powder, suspension, dispersion or liquid. The propelled intranasal dosage form is deposited within the olfactory region of the nasal cavity. The drug deposited within the olfactory region is delivered to the brain avoiding the blood-brain-barrier. Hydrofluoroalkane propellant from a pressurized canister is channeled to a diffuser and drug-containing chamber where the intra-nasal dosage form is aerosolized. The aerosolized intra-nasal dosage form passes through a nozzle thus delivering a plume to the olfactory region of a user's nasal cavity. |

| ABSTRACT | Spiral forming methods can be used to join edges of a rolled material along a spiral joint to form conical and/or cylindrical structures. Alignment of the edges of the rolled material can be controlled in a wrapping direction as the material is being joined along the spiral joint to form the structure. By controlling alignment of the edges of the material as the edges of the material are being joined, small corrections can be made over the course of forming the structure facilitating control over geometric tolerances of the resulting spiral formed structure. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of making a filter, the resulting filter, and a method of using the filter to filter proteins from solution are described. The method includes contacting a porous, polymeric substrate with a transfer liquid comprising a solvent(s) and a charged polymeric solute. The transfer liquid and the polymeric substrate have a Hansen Solubility Parameter (“HSP”) distance of from about 10 to about 35. Contacting the polymeric substrate with the transfer solution causes the polymeric substrate to accept the charged polymeric solute by diffusion transfer, thereby yielding a functionalized filter medium. Removal of the transfer liquid from the polymeric substrate traps the charged polymeric solute on the surface of the polymeric substrate. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for radio frequency (RF) signal processing via photonic local oscillator (LO) phase control generates a set of N optical carriers and M sets of control inputs, each control input including an amplitude and/or phase control for the nth carrier. Each nth optical carrier is split into an RF path and M LO paths, the RF path including N electro-optical (EO) modulators for amplitude/phase modulation of each nth carrier per a set of N RF input signals and each mth LO path including a set of N EO modulators for amplitude/phase modulation of each nth carrier per the mth control input. Demodulators generate M in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) balanced optical outputs based on the multiplexed N combined RF optical outputs and each mth set of N combined LO optical outputs. The M I/Q balanced optical outputs are converted to the electrical and then to the digital domain. |

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 22, 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.
