ABSTRACT Disclosed are methods that, by not physically touching the material being measured, can measure the material's differential, response quite accurately. A collimated light shines on the material under test, is reflected off it, and is then captured by a recording device. The position where the reflected light is captured is used to calculate the deflection of the material. Dynamic characteristics of the material under test may be determined from the deflection measurement. The vibration frequency or vibration amplitude of a cantilever can be determined by repeated deflection measurements, all without physically touching the cantilever during the measurement process.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are methods that, by not physically touching a material being measured, can measure the material's differential response quite accurately. A collimated light shines on the material under test, is reflected off it, and is then captured by a device that records the position where the reflected light is captured. This process is done both before and after the material is processed in some way (e.g., by applying a coat of paint). The change in position where the reflected light is captured is used in calculating the deflection of the material as induced by the process. This measured induced deflection is then used to accurately determinate the stress introduced into the material by the process. Other characteristics of the material under test, such as aspects of the material composition of a bi-metallic strip, for example, may also be determined from a deflection measurement.

ABSTRACT Various examples are provided related to penetrating radar based upon precursors. In one example, a method includes transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal; and receiving a return signal associated with the RF signal, where the return signal is a precursor having no exponential decay. The precursor can be one of a sequence of precursors, which can be used to improve resolution of the system. The RF signal can be a short pulse generated by an RF front end, without automatic level control. The return signal can be processed without filtering.

The first waveguide is formed on the substrate includes: (i) an input section, (ii) a bend section, and (iii) an output section. The second waveguide is also formed on the substrate and is disposed adjacent to a portion of the input section of the first waveguide. A portion of the second waveguide is separated from the input section of the first waveguide by a coupling gap. The perturber is disposed above the first waveguide and configured to move between a first position that is distal from a surface of the input section of the first waveguide and a second position that is closer to the surface of the input section of the first waveguide than the second position. The controller is configured to control a movement of the perturber between the first position and the second position. When the perturber is in the first position, a mode effective refractive index of the first waveguide is lower than the mode effective refractive index of the first waveguide when the perturber is in the second position.

ABSTRACT Emulating scratchpad functionality using caches in processor-based devices is disclosed. In one aspect, each cache line within a cache of a processor-based device is associated with a corresponding scratchpad indicator indicating whether the corresponding cache line is exempt from the replacement policy used to select a cache line for eviction. Upon receiving data that corresponds to a memory access operation indicated as requiring scratchpad functionality, the cache controller stores the data in a cache line of the cache, and then sets the corresponding scratchpad indicator for the cache line. Subsequently, the cache controller emulates scratchpad functionality by allowing conventional memory read and write operations to be performed on the cache line, but does not apply its replacement policy to that cache line when selecting a cache line as a candidate for eviction. In this manner, the cache line may remain in the cache for use as scratchpad memory by software.

ABSTRACT A computing machine receives an input comprising unstructured text. The computing machine identifies, within the unstructured text, one or more entities using a named entity recognition (NER) engine in a trained machine learning model. The trained machine learning model embeds tokens from the text into a vector space and uses generated embeddings to identify one or more tokens as being associated with the one or more entities. The computing machine determines, using the trained machine learning model that identifies the one or more entities and based on the embedded tokens, an assertion applied, within the text, to at least one entity. The assertion is represented as a vector in a multi-dimensional space. Each dimension corresponds to a part of the assertion. The trained machine learning model is a span-level model that both identifies the one or more entities and determines the assertion based on candidate spans of tokens.

ABSTRACT A biodegradable microphone has a housing fabricated from a biodegradable ferromagnetic filament. The ferromagnetic filament is based on a biodegradable polymer having embedded magnetic materials. The housing has a body portion, an open first end and an opposite second end having a central opening. A permanent magnet is removably lodged within the central opening. The ferromagnetic filament and the magnet cooperate to produce a magnetic field within the housing interior. A biodegradable diaphragm is joined to the open first end of the housing. The diaphragm has an interior side facing the housing interior. A biodegradable coil is joined to the interior side and extends downward into the housing interior and is in proximity to the permanent magnet. Vibrations of the diaphragm cause a reciprocating motion of the coil within the magnetic field thereby inducing an electrical current in the coil.

ABSTRACT A method for evaluating mechanical anisotropy of a material sample to determine a characteristic of the sample includes interrogating a material sample a plurality of times. Each interrogation includes: applying a force having a direction, having a coronal plane normal to the direction of the force, and having an oval or other profile with long and short axes within the coronal plane, the long axis being oriented at a specified angle from a reference direction within the coronal plane; and measuring displacement of the material sample resulting from application of the force. The interrogations are taken at different angles of orientation within the coronal plane and different portions of the material sample are interrogated. For each measurement one or more parameters are calculated for the respective angle of orientation. A degree of anisotropy of the one or more parameters is determined and used to evaluate a characteristic of the material sample.

ABSTRACT Blockade of immune checkpoints such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) shows promise in patients with cancer. Inhibitory antibodies directed at these receptors have been shown to break immune tolerance and promote anti-tumor immunity. These agents work particularly well in patients with a certain category of tumor. Such tumors may be particularly susceptible to treatment because of the multitude of neoantigens which they produce.

ABSTRACT Provided is an improved design of shRNA based on structural mimics of miR-451 precursors. These miR-451 shRNA mimics are channeled through a novel small RNA biogenesis pathway, require AGO2 catalysis and are processed by Drosha but are independent of DICER processing. This miRNA pathway feeds active elements only into Ago2 because of its unique catalytic activity. These data demonstrate that this newly identified small RNA biogenesis pathway can be exploited in vivo to produce active molecules.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for measuring the properties (e.g., mechanical properties) of particles such as biological entities, in a fluidic channel(s) are generally provided. In some embodiments, the systems and methods comprise measuring an acoustic scattering of single particles. For example, a single particle (e.g., a biological entity) may be flowed in a suspended fluidic channel (e.g., a suspended microfluidic channel) and the fluidic channel is oscillated at or near a (mechanical) resonant frequency (e.g., at a second or higher bending mode) of the suspended fluidic channel. In some cases, an acoustic scattering signal (e.g., the change in resonant frequency of the fluidic channel as the particle flows along a longitudinal axis of the channel) may correspond to a property (e.g., a mechanical property, a cross-linking density, a transport rate of small molecules into/out of the particle) of the particle. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods comprise determining a node deviation due to a single particle (or node deviations for a plurality of particles).

ABSTRACT Methods of assessing a graft recipient's predisposition to reject a transplant are provided. The risk of transplant rejection may be assessed in a subject prior to transplant, wherein subjects having a greater immune repertoire diversity prior to transplant are more susceptible to transplant rejection. Also, increases in immune repertoire diversity after transplant are indicative of transplant risk after. In another aspect, the presence or elevated abundance of immune elements comprising IGHV3-23 sequences are indicators of transplant rejection risk. In another aspect the scope of the invention encompasses methods of treating transplant rejection in a subject, by assessing transplant risk and administering immunosuppressive therapy in accordance with assessed risk.

ABSTRACT A device may obtain field images of a tissue sample, apply, to the field images, spatial distortion and illumination-based corrections (including corrections for photobleaching of reagents) to derive processed field images, identify, in each processed field image, a primary area including data useful for cell or subcellular component characterization, identify, in the processed field images, areas that overlap with one another, and derive information regarding a spatial mapping of cell(s) and/or sub-cellular components of the tissue sample. Deriving the information may include performing segmentation based on the data included in the primary area of each processed field image, and obtaining flux measurements based on other data included in the overlapping areas. The device may cause the information to be loaded in a data structure to enable statistical analysis of the spatial mapping for identifying factors defining normal tissue structure, associated inflammatory or neoplastic diseases and prognoses thereof, and associated therapeutics.

ABSTRACT A system is presented for analyzing and interpreting histologic images. The system includes an imaging device and a diagnostic module. The imaging device captures an image of a tissue sample at an optical section of the tissue sample, where the tissue sample has a thickness larger than the optical section. The system may further include an image interpretation subsystem located remotely from the imaging device and configured to receive the images from the imaging device. The diagnostic module is configured to receive the images for the tissue sample from the imaging device and generates a diagnosis for the tissue sample by applying a machine learning algorithm to the images. The diagnostic module may be interface directly with the imaging device or located remotely at the image interpretation subsystem.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for predicting user interaction with vehicles. A computing device receives an image and a video segment of a road scene, the first at least one of an image and a video segment being taken from a perspective of a participant in the road scene and then generates stimulus data based on the image and the video segment. Stimulus data is transmitted to a user interface and response data is received, which includes at least one of an action and a likelihood of the action corresponding to another participant in the road scene. The computing device aggregates a subset of the plurality of response data to form statistical data and a model is created based on the statistical data. The model is applied to another image or video segment and a prediction of user behavior in the another image or video segment is generated.

ABSTRACT A log structure is created in persistent memory using hardware support in memory controller or software supported with additional instructions. Writes to persistent memory locations are streamed to the log and written to their corresponding memory location in cache hierarchy. An added victim cache for persistent memory addresses catches cache evictions, which would corrupt open transactions. On the completion of a group of atomic persistent memory operations, the log is closed and the persistent values in the cache can be copied to their source persistent memory location and the log cleaned.

As the energy used for the ion extraction and ion recovery processes is not consumed, but rather stored in the system through the charging process, and the majority of the energy stored during charging can be recovered during discharging, the dual-functional energy storage systems perform useful functions, such as solution desalination or lithium-ion recovery with a minimal energy input, while storing and releasing energy like a conventional energy storage system.

ABSTRACT Devices, computer-readable media, and methods for making a cache admission decision regarding a video chunk are described. For instance, a processing system including at least one processor may obtain a request for a first chunk of a first video, determine that the first chunk is not stored in a cache, and apply, in response to the determining that the first chunk is not stored in the cache, a classifier to predict whether the first chunk will be re-requested within a time horizon, where the classifier is trained in accordance with a set of features associated with a plurality of chunks of a plurality of videos. When it is predicted via the classifier that the first chunk will be re-requested within the time horizon, the processing system may store the first chunk in the cache.

ABSTRACT A method of preparing a piezoelectric single crystal with high piezoelectricity and near- perfect transparency. The method includes depositing electrodes on two opposition surfaces of a piezoelectric single crystal which is a ferroelectric crystal; AC-poling the piezoelectric single crystal through the electrodes by repeatedly changing polarity of an AC electric field; and after polarization, removing the electrodes on the two opposition surfaces of the piezoelectric single crystal and then depositing Ag nanowire or indium tin oxide (ITO) as electrodes on the two opposition surfaces of the piezoelectric single crystal. Repeatedly changing the polarity of the polarized electric field can increase the domain size of the ferroelectric crystal, or reduce the domain wall density of the domain structure, thereby improving the transparency of the piezoelectric single crystal having high piezoelectric.

ABSTRACT A system or method for drilling includes autonomously controlling a rotary or percussive drilling process as it transitions through multiple materials with very different dynamics. The method determines a drilling medium based on real-time measurements and comparison to prior drilling data, and identifies the material type, drilling region, and approximately optimal setpoint based on data from at least one operating condition. The controller uses these setpoints initially to execute an optimal search to maximize performance by minimizing mechanical specific energy. Near-bit depth-of-cut estimations are performed using a machine learning prediction deployed in an embedded processor to provide high-speed ROP estimates. The sensing capability is coupled with a near-bit clutching mechanism to support drilling dysfunction mitigation.

ABSTRACT A series tee splitter comprises a primary electromagnetic transmission line and a secondary electromagnetic transmission line that is placed in a series path with the primary electromagnetic transmission line, wherein a load is attached to the end of the secondary electromagnetic transmission line and a network analyzer is connected to opposite ends of the primary electromagnetic transmission line to measure a load impedance. This configuration increases the high impedance measurement limit of the network analyzer normally seen for reflection measurements. The series tee splitter can be electrically small to provide broadband impedance information.

ABSTRACT A significant enhancement of detection capabilities of the room temperature MPQ is seen using optical lithography-defined, ferromagnetic iron-nickel alloy microdisks. Irreversible transitions between strongly non-collinear (vortex) and a collinear single domain states, driven by an ac magnetic field, translate into a nonlinear magnetic response that enables ultrasensitive detection of material at relatively small magnetic fields.

ABSTRACT To enable several orders of magnitude increases in average power and energy handling capability of Faraday rotators, the technology utilizes high speed gas cooling to efficiently remove thermal loading from the Faraday optic faces while minimizing the thermal wavefront and thermal birefringence by creating a longitudinal thermal gradient. A recirculating gas cooling manifold accelerates the gas over the surface of the slab to create a turbulent flow condition which maximizes the surface cooling rate. The technology further provides a spatially uniform thermal profile on the Faraday slabs.

ABSTRACT A method for increasing a speed and efficiency of a computer when performing machine learning using spiking neural networks. The method includes computer-implemented operations; that is, operations that are solely executed on a computer. The method includes receiving, in a spiking neural network, a plurality of input values upon which a machine learning algorithm is based. The method also includes correlating, for each input value, a corresponding response speed of a corresponding neuron to a corresponding equivalence relationship between the input value to a corresponding latency of the corresponding neuron. Neurons that trigger faster than other neurons represent close relationships between input values and neuron latencies. Latencies of the neurons represent data points used in performing the machine learning. A plurality of equivalence relationships are formed as a result of correlating. The method includes performing the machine learning using the plurality of equivalence relationships.

ABSTRACT A method of pulse shaping using spectral filtering, positive chirp, and self-phase modulation to control the accumulated higher-order phase terms of the spectral phase. This pulse shaping method has particular advantage in fiber chirped pulse amplification (FCPA) systems, where there are two effects: (1) an offsetting of the fourth order phase via nonlinear phase accumulation, allowing for a higher Strehl ratio (i.e., a cleaner pulse), higher peak power pulse and (2) enabling power scaling to higher pulse energies without the increased nonlinear phase accumulation leading to pulse breakup. This technique can be used both in a passive system with no amplification to clean up an existing pulse, and in an amplifier system to enable higher performance operation (shorter pulses, cleaner pulses, higher energy pulses).

ABSTRACT A method of pulse shaping using spectral filtering, positive chirp, and self-phase modulation to control the accumulated higher-order phase terms of the spectral phase. This pulse shaping method has particular advantage in fiber chirped pulse amplification (FCPA) systems, where there are two effects: (1) an offsetting of the fourth order phase via nonlinear phase accumulation, allowing for a higher Strehl ratio (i.e., a cleaner pulse), higher peak power pulse and (2) enabling power scaling to higher pulse energies without the increased nonlinear phase accumulation leading to pulse breakup. This technique can be used both in a passive system with no amplification to clean up an existing pulse, and in an amplifier system to enable higher performance operation (shorter pulses, cleaner pulses, higher energy pulses).

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, September 12, 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:
