| ABSTRACT | The present systems and methods provide a mechanism to assess viewer behavior, features of stimuli, and the interaction between viewer behavior and stimuli. The systems and methods described herein for quantifying blink response and blink inhibition provide moment-by-moments measurements of viewer engagement by measuring what is or is not engaging enough to warrant viewers' inhibition of blinking. The present disclosure describes measures of visual scanning, eye movements, blink data, and blink timing data to derive a measure of how engaged a person is with what he or she is looking at. Blink-related data as a measure of viewer engagement provides a mechanism for determining the most engaging spatial and temporal aspects of a stimulus. |

| ABSTRACT | A biodegradable scaffold for wound closure including a central rod and two spaced-apart plates. The central rod may have an engagement block on top for stabilizing an implanting tool. The two spaced-apart plates include an upper plate connected to the central rod and a lower plate connected to the central rod. Each of the upper and lower plates may include perforations which may be useful for detachably connecting an implanting tool and which encourage ingrowth of the tissue. The biodegradable scaffold allows tension free anatomic alignment of tissue within the plates and facilitates wound healing. The upper and lower plate may have a helical portion, in which each plate may extend around the central rod. The helical portion serves to draw or pull tissue around the wound defect into the scaffold in the course of deploying the scaffold. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein is a novel, mitochondrial encoded, open reading frame, that leads to the production of a new mitochondrial peptide. Residing within the ND-Two subunit, a specific small nucleotide polymorphism disrupts expression of this mitochondrial peptide, and is correlated with an increase in obesity and diabetes, particularly in certain ethnic populations. In vitro administration of the peptide increases insulin secretion, decreases fat accumulation and improves glucose uptake in muscle cell. Antibodies generated against the peptide can be used for detecting peptide deficiency, in addition to SNP detection, supporting diagnostic approaches. In vivo studies further revealed that administration of the peptide improves glucose tolerance, thereby providing a new therapeutic avenue for a novel diabetes therapy and decreases bodyweight, thus serving as a novel obesity therapy. Generation of synthetic analogs further enhance or abrogated activity relative to the natural peptide. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of detecting the length of an individual telomere is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes contacting genomic DNA with a guide RNA having a portion complementary to a telomere repeat sequence in the genomic DNA and with Cas9 nickase to produce a single-strand break in the genomic DNA at the telomere repeat sequence. The nicked DNA is contacted with a polymerase and fluorescently labeled nucleotide, wherein the fluorescently labeled nucleotide is incorporated into the nicked DNA at the telomere repeat sequence. The genomic DNA is contacted with a second nicking endonuclease which is specific for a sequence motif in the genomic DNA thereby producing a second nick in the genomic DNA at the motif sequence. The nicked DNA is contacted with a polymerase and second fluorescently labeled nucleotide of different color, wherein the second fluorescently labeled nucleotide is incorporated into the nicked DNA at the motif sequence location. The length of the telomere is detected by measuring the fluorescence of first fluorescently labeled nucleotide at the telomere repeat location, wherein the fluorescently labeled motif sequences are used as a barcode to identify the chromosome. |

| ABSTRACT | A deep-learning-based method for metal artifact reduction in CT images includes providing a dataset and a cGAN. The dataset includes CT image pairs, randomly partitioned into a training set, a validation set, and a testing set. Each Pre-CT and Post-CT image pairs is respectively acquired in a region before and after an implant is implanted. The Pre-CT and Post-CT images of each pair are artifact-free CT and artifact-affected CT images, respectively. The cGAN is conditioned on the Post-CT images, includes a generator and a discriminator that operably compete with each other, and is characterized with a training objective that is a sum of an adversarial loss and a reconstruction loss. The method also includes training the cGAN with the dataset; inputting the post-operatively acquired CT image to the trained cGAN; and generating an artifact-corrected image by the trained cGAN, where metal artifacts are removed in the artifact-corrected image. |

| ABSTRACT | Novel compositions and methods for engineering wireframe architectures and scaffolds of increasing complexity by creating gridiron-like DNA structures (FIG. 1). A series of four-arm junctions are used as vertices within a network of double-helical DNA fragments. Deliberate distortion of the junctions from their most relaxed conformations ensures that a scaffold strand can traverse through individual vertices in multiple directions. DNA gridirons, ranging from two-dimensional arrays with reconfigurability to multilayer and three-dimensional structures and curved objects, can be assembled according the methods presented herein. |

| ABSTRACT | An exemplary inventive device is placed between inner and outer concentric cylindrical structures. The inventive device includes at least three coaxial rectangular-toroidal elements adhered together, viz., at least one smaller stiff element, at least one larger stiff element, and at least one resilient element. The elements are arranged so that each resilient element is adjacently positioned between a smaller stiff element and a larger stiff element. The inner circumferential surface of the smaller stiff element contacts the outer circumferential surface of the inner cylindrical structure. The outer circumferential surface of the larger stiff element contacts the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylindrical structure. The inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the resilient element are distanced, respectively, from the inner cylindrical structure's outer circumferential surface and the outer cylindrical structure's inner circumferential surface. Mechanically induced deformations of the resilient elements permit longitudinal displacement and result in vibration isolation/damping in biaxial radial directions. |

| ABSTRACT | Building blocks are provided for on-chip chemical sensors and other highly-compact photonic integrated circuits combining interband or quantum cascade lasers and detectors with passive waveguides and other components integrated on a III-V or silicon. A MWIR or LWIR laser source is evanescently coupled into a passive extended or resonant-cavity waveguide that provides evanescent coupling to a sample gas (or liquid) for spectroscopic chemical sensing. In the case of an ICL, the uppermost layer of this passive waveguide has a relatively high index of refraction that enables it to form the core of the waveguide, while the ambient air, consisting of the sample gas, functions as the top cladding layer. A fraction of the propagating light beam is absorbed by the sample gas if it contains a chemical species having a fingerprint absorption feature within the spectral linewidth of the laser emission. |

| ABSTRACT | A polymer three-dimensional (3D) printing methodology is disclosed for freeform fabrication of polymeric structures under ambient conditions without the use of printed support structures, without use of a support bath, and the like. The build material can be dissolved in a suitable solvent for 3D printing. The polymer solution can be printed (e.g., continuously printed using a moving dispensing nozzle) in air without the use of supports (e.g., without the use of a support bath, a concurrently printed support posts, or the like) while a nebulized coagulation agent is dispersed alongside the printed polymer solution to at least partially coagulate the polymer solution and form an intermediate article. The self-supporting intermediate article may then be immersed in a post-printing coagulation solution to remove some or all of the remaining solvent, causing the build material to fully solidify to form a finished article from the intermediate article. |

| ABSTRACT | A sensing device is provided having sensing circuitry, connected to an input port and the output port, with a sensor having an impedance sensitive to a parameter of interest, one or more passive electrical components, and a variable capacitor. The sensing circuitry is triggered to generate an output signal for transmission from the output port, the output signal dependent on the parameter of interest sensed by the sensor and on an input power value, Pin, of an input signal received at the input port being greater than a parametric threshold power value, Pth. A sensing system includes the sensing device and a transmitting device to transmit the input signal to the sensing device at a frequency representative of the parameter of interest. A receiving device, which can be incorporated with or located remotely from the transmitting device, receives the output signal of the sensing device, which has a frequency that is half of the frequency of the input signal transmitted by the transmitting device. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for fabricating patterns. An inverse optimization scheme is implemented to determine process parameters used to obtain a desired film thickness of a liquid resist formulation, where the liquid resist formulation includes a solvent and one or more non-solvent components. A substrate is covered with a substantially continuous film of the liquid resist formulation using one or more of the following techniques: dispensing discrete drops of a diluted monomer on the substrate using an inkjet and allowing the dispensed drops to spontaneously spread and merge, slot die coating and spin-coating. The liquid resist formulation is diluted in the solvent. The solvent is then substantially evaporated from the liquid resist formulation forming a film. A gap between a template and the substrate is then closed. The film is cured to polymerize the film and the substrate is separated from the template leaving the polymerized film on the substrate. |

| ABSTRACT | An autonomous vehicle uses machine learning based models such as neural networks to predict hidden context attributes associated with traffic entities. The hidden context represents behavior of the traffic entities in the traffic. The machine learning based model is configured to receive a video frame as input and output likelihoods of receiving user responses having particular ordinal values. The system uses a loss function based on cumulative histogram of user responses corresponding to various ordinal values. The system identifies user responses that are unlikely to be valid user responses to generate training data for training the machine learning mode. The system identifies invalid user responses based on response time of the user responses. |

Designing an on-sensor data dimensionality reduction scheme for efficient signal sensing has long been a challenging task. Compressive sensing is a generic solution for sensing signals in a compressed format. Although compressive sensing can be directly implemented in the analog domain for specific types of signals, many application scenarios require implementation of data compression in the digital domain. However, the computational complexity involved in digital-domain compressive sensing limits its practical application, especially in resource-constrained sensor devices or high-data-rate sensor devices. Embodiments described herein provide a selective sensing framework that adopts a novel concept of data-driven nonuniform subsampling to reduce the dimensionality of acquired signals while retaining the information of interest in a computation-free fashion. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure provides a two-phase separator device for separating condensate or particulate from a gas stream. In some implementations, the separator device removes water from air and may operate under micro-gravity conditions. The gas stream flows through the two-phase separator device and passes through a rotatable vane assembly along a flow path without being redirected in another flow path. Condensate or particulate in the gas stream is impacted by a plurality of vanes of the rotatable vane assembly, and the condensate is captured by features formed within the plurality of vanes. The captured condensate is accelerated radially outwardly along the each of the plurality of vanes towards a sloped inner wall, and further moved along the sloped inner wall in a direction against the flow path of the gas stream during rotation. |

| ABSTRACT | Copoly(imide oxetane) materials are disclosed that can exhibit a low surface energy while possessing the mechanical, thermal, chemical and optical properties associated with polyimides. The copoly(imide oxetane)s are prepared using a minor amount of fluorinated oxetane-derived oligomer with sufficient fluorine-containing segments of the copoly(imide oxetane)s migrate to the exterior surface of the polymeric material to yield low surface energies. Thus the coatings and articles of manufacture made with the copoly(imide oxetane)s of this invention are characterized as having an anisotropic fluorine composition. The low surface energies can be achieved with very low content of fluorinated oxetane-derived oligomer. The copolymers of this invention can enhance the viability of polyimides for many applications and may be acceptable where homopolyimide materials have been unacceptable. |

| ABSTRACT | A phase shifter comprising an actuator coupled to a dielectric. When the dielectric is inserted into the waveguide in response to actuation by the actuator, the phase velocity of the incoming electromagnetic wave is decreased, resulting in a phase shift of the electromagnetic wave. A desired phase shift and a low insertion loss can be controlled by positioning of the dielectric and engineering the permittivity of the dielectric. |

| ABSTRACT | A biodegradable scaffold for wound closure including a central rod and two spaced-apart plates. The central rod may have an engagement block on top for stabilizing an implanting tool. The two spaced-apart plates include an upper plate connected to the central rod and a lower plate connected to the central rod. Each of the upper and lower plates may include perforations which may be useful for detachably connecting an implanting tool and which encourage ingrowth of the tissue. The biodegradable scaffold allows tension free anatomic alignment of tissue within the plates and facilitates wound healing. The upper and lower plate may have a helical portion, in which each plate may extend around the central rod. The helical portion serves to draw or pull tissue around the wound defect into the scaffold in the course of deploying the scaffold. |

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 19, 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:
