| ABSTRACT | A highly efficient, Z-selective ring-closing metathesis system for the formation of macrocycles using a stereoretentive, ruthenium-based catalyst supported by a dithiolate ligand is reported. This catalyst is demonstrated to be remarkably active as observed in initiation experiments showing complete catalyst initiation at −20° C. within 10 min. Using easily accessible diene starting materials bearing a Z-olefin moiety, macrocyclization reactions generated products with significantly higher Z-selectivity in appreciably shorter reaction times, in higher yield, and with much lower catalyst loadings than in previously reported systems. Macrocyclic lactones ranging in size from twelve-membered to seventeen-membered rings are synthesized in moderate to high yields (68-79% yield) with excellent Z-selectivity (95%-99% Z). |

| ABSTRACT | A cooling system employs at least one composite elastocaloric device. Each composite device has a first member with a first material and a second member with an elastocaloric material. The first material increases in size in response to an applied electric or magnetic field and returns to its prior size upon removal of the applied electric or magnetic field. The first and second members are mechanically coupled together such that the increase in size of the first material applies a stress to the elastocaloric material and the return of the first material to its prior size releases said stress, thereby causing the elastocaloric material to absorb heat. |

| ABSTRACT | An approach to autonomous navigation of a vehicle augments a static map of an environment with a clutter map characterizing a risk of encountering an object that is not represented in the static map of the environment. For example, the clutter map may be based on locations and velocities of those objects, and route planning may avoid planning a path through locations that have a high risk of occupancy, and therefore potential delay or collision. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to methods of determining if a subject has an increased risk of suffering from memory impairment. The methods comprise analyzing at least one plasma sample from the subject to determine a value of the subject's metabolite profile and comparing the value of the subject's metabolite profile with the value of a normal metabolite profile. A change in the value of the subject's metabolite profile, over normal values is indicative that the subject has an increased risk of suffering from memory impairment compared to a normal individual. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for inertial sensor error modeling and compensation comprises obtaining multiple bias drift datasets for an elapsed time period for one or more gyroscopes; generating a 3D bias drift data plot using the multiple bias drift datasets; generating a partial bias drift data image based on the 3D bias drift data plot; and inputting the partial bias drift data image into a machine learning algorithm to predict how bias drift evolves over time for the gyroscopes. The machine learning algorithm uses the partial bias drift data image, the elapsed time period, and temperature history to compute a predicted bias over temperature with respect to time, to thereby predict bias drift data for a future time period for the gyroscopes. The machine learning algorithm outputs a completed bias drift image that represents drift data from the elapsed time period and the predicted bias drift data for the future time period. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, device configurations, and processes are provided for tracking and navigation using low-earth orbit satellite (LEO) signals. Embodiments are provided to track LEO satellites in the absence or during interrupted service by global position sources (e.g., GNSS). Operations and a framework are provided to use low-earth orbit (LEO) downlink transmissions as a source of positioning data. Operations can include performing a Doppler frequency measurement on received satellite downlink transmissions to determine a pseudorange rate measurement for a vehicle relative to at least one LEO satellite. Pseudorange rate measurements may be used to correct vehicle position data of a vehicles inertial navigation system (INS) and for control/navigation of the vehicle. Embodiments allow for simultaneous tracking of LEO satellites and navigation of a vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle. Embodiments are also directed to employing a propagation model for LEO position and velocity within a simultaneous tracking and navigation (STAN) framework. |

| ABSTRACT | A system includes a determination component that determines output for successively larger neural networks of a set; and a consensus component that determines consensus between a first neural network and a second neural network of the set. A linear chain of increasingly complex neural networks trained on progressively larger inputs is utilized (e.g., increasingly complex neural networks is generally representative of increased accuracy). Outputs of progressively networks are computed until a consensus point is reached—where two or more successive large networks yield a same inference output. At such point of consensus the larger neural network of the set reaching consensus can be deemed appropriately sized (or of sufficient complexity) for a classification task at hand. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosed principles provide techniques for 3D fabrication of sensing systems embedded inside battery cells and provide cell parameter data for a comprehensive and robust battery management system. The disclosed principles provide online and real-time monitoring battery state-of-health down to the individual cell level of each battery using embedded sensors on one or more of the internal layers of a cell, such as the dielectric separators found in such battery cells. The implementation of the disclosed principles in individual battery cells therefore provides an increased likelihood to mitigate catastrophic failures in batteries. In addition, the disclosed fabrication processes for printing sensors directly on one or more of the components or layers within each individual battery cell significantly reduce manufacturing steps required by conventional battery management systems. The disclosed principles also provided for a unique silica-based ink for use in the 3D printing of such embedded cell sensing components. |

| ABSTRACT | A four-stage digital voltage distribution system is provided with a multi-bridge relay assembly to deliver pulsed direct current to a dielectric actuator. A first stage of operation opens a forward voltage flow from a high voltage source through a passive signal conditioner before activating the actuator and passing through a forward diode to ground. A second stage cuts off the forward voltage flow to the dielectric actuator; thereby, shorting the dielectric actuator and causing a reverse discharge flow through a reverse diode. A third stage opens a reverse voltage flow through the signal conditioner before activating the dielectric actuator and passing through the reverse diode to ground. A fourth stage cuts off the reverse voltage flow to the charged dielectric actuator; thereby, shorting the dielectric actuator and causing a forward discharge flow through the forward diode. The four stages continuously loop to deliver pulsed DC to the actuator. |

| ABSTRACT | Frequency stabilization is provided in a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) oscillator via tunable internal resonance (IR). A device comprises a MEMS resonator comprising a stepped-beam structure that is a thin-layer structure. The resonator may be configured to implement IR. The stepped-beam structure may be configured to provide flexibility to adjust modal frequencies into a n:m ratio, wherein n and m are integers. The thin-layer structure provides frequency tunability by controlling the mid-plane stretching effect with an applied DC bias. The thin-layer structure compensates for a frequency mismatch from a n:m ratio due to a fabrication error. The MEMS resonator may be an oscillator. |

| ABSTRACT | In a secure network where the network characteristics are not known, a call admission control algorithm and a preemption control algorithm based on a destination node informing the source node of the observed carried traffic are used to regulate the amount of traffic that needs to be preempted by the source. The amount of traffic that needs to be preempted is based on the carried traffic measured at the destination node. The traffic to be preempted is based on the priority of the traffic, where the lowest priority traffic is the first to be preempted until the amount of traffic preempted is sufficient to allow the remaining traffic to pass through the network without congestion. |

| ABSTRACT | A handheld lancing device having anesthetic feature includes a housing removably retaining a disposable lancet. A carriage suspended within the housing by an isolation assembly may receive the lancet. A motor in mechanical communication with the lancet produces vibrations transmitted to contact surface, which vibrate a target lancing site prior to and during piercing. The target site is vibrated for a predetermined period of time before deploying the lancet. The isolation assembly permits movement of the carriage and/or lancet within the housing in one direction while limiting movement in other directions, and further dampens the vibrations of the motor from the housing held by the user. A force sensor detects force applied by the pressing of the contact surface against the skin of the patient. An indicator(s) perceivable to the user identifies when predefined positions of the lancet are reached for initiating vibration then triggering the lancet. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for few-view computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction is described. The system includes a preprocessing module, a first generator network, and a discriminator network. The preprocessing module is configured to apply a ramp filter to an input sinogram to yield a filtered sinogram. The first generator network is configured to receive the filtered sinogram, to learn a filtered back-projection operation and to provide a first reconstructed image as output. The first reconstructed image corresponds to the input sinogram. The discriminator network is configured to determine whether a received image corresponds to the first reconstructed image or a corresponding ground truth image. The generator network and the discriminator network correspond to a Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN). The WGAN is optimized using an objective function based, at least in part, on a Wasserstein distance and based, at least in part, on a gradient penalty. |

| ABSTRACT | A device to change the temperature of a localized volume of material. A workable device includes at least one heat transfer mechanism having an external surface for direct contact with an exposed surface of the material. A working fluid is directed by input and output conduits to contact an internal surface of the heat transfer mechanism. The heat transfer mechanism exchanges heat between the working fluid and the material. Temperature of the working fluid may be regulated by a thermal system disposed at a remote location. An optional temperature sensing element may monitor a local temperature of the heat transfer mechanism or otherwise infer a temperature of a portion of the material. Sometimes, a device includes a cooperating anchoring arrangement to facilitate holding the heat transfer mechanism in a desired spot. Certain devices may be plastically deformed to a desired device shape. |

| ABSTRACT | A treatment planning prediction method to predict a Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH) or Dose Distribution (DD) for patient data using a machine-learning computer framework is provided with the key inclusion of a Planning Target Volume (PTV) only treatment plan in the framework. A dosimetric parameter is used as an additional parameter to the framework and which is obtained from a prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method outputs a Dose-Volume Histogram and/or a Dose Distribution for the patient including the prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method alleviates the complicated process of quantifying anatomical features and harnesses directly the inherent correlation between the PTV-only plan and the clinical plan in the dose domain. The method provides a more robust and efficient solution to the important DVHs prediction problem in treatment planning and plan quality assurance. |

| ABSTRACT | A highly efficient, Z-selective ring-closing metathesis system for the formation of macrocycles using a stereoretentive, ruthenium-based catalyst supported by a dithiolate ligand is reported. This catalyst is demonstrated to be remarkably active as observed in initiation experiments showing complete catalyst initiation at −20° C. within 10 min. Using easily accessible diene starting materials bearing a Z-olefin moiety, macrocyclization reactions generated products with significantly higher Z-selectivity in appreciably shorter reaction times, in higher yield, and with much lower catalyst loadings than in previously reported systems. Macrocyclic lactones ranging in size from twelve-membered to seventeen-membered rings are synthesized in moderate to high yields (68-79% yield) with excellent Z-selectivity (95%-99% Z). |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for identifying sequence information from measurements made on single nucleic acid molecules are disclosed. The systems and methods can include binding portions of nucleic acid molecules with marker molecules, such as fluorescent molecules and/or intercalating molecules. The marker molecules provide a detectable signal that includes information about the underlying genomic information of the location on the nucleic acid molecule where a given marker molecule is bound. A profile of the detectable signal along a position of the nucleic acid is acquired for multiple different nucleic acid molecules. The PRIMR algorithm processes the data to provide a consensus profile from which a consensus underlying genomic information can be determined. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods for nanopore-based protein analysis are provided. The methods address the characterization of a target protein analyte, which has a dimension greater than an internal diameter of the nanopore tunnel, and which is also physically associated with a polymer. The methods further comprise applying an electrical potential to the nanopore system to cause the polymer to interact with the nanopore tunnel. The ion current through the nanopore is measured to provide a current pattern reflective of the structure of the portion of the polymer interacting with the nanopore tunnel. This is used as a metric for characterizing the associated protein that does not pass through the nanopore. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods for identifying new CRISPR loci and effectors, as well as different CRISPR loci combinations found in various organisms. Class-II CRISPR systems contain single-gene effectors that have been engineered for transformative biological discovery and biomedical applications. Discovery of additional single-gene or multi-component CRISPR effectors may enhance existing CRISPR applications, such as precision genome engineering. Comprehensive characterization of CRISPR-loci may identify novel functional roles of CRISPR loci enabling new tools for biomedicine and biological discovery. CRISPR loci have enormous feature complexity, but classification of CRISPR loci has been focused on a small fraction of highly abundant features. Increased genome sequencing has enhanced the sampling of this feature complexity. |

An example method for operating an integrated thermal cycling system includes depositing samples into the integrated thermal cycling system that includes a thermal cycling device and an electronic interface. The thermal cycling device includes multiple wells to receive the samples to be thermally cycled, a thermoelectric cooling (TEC) element connected to the multiple wells, a substrate on which the TEC element is positioned, and a controller coupled to the TEC element. The multiple wells are positioned within the substrate that includes a thermally conductive ground positioned between adjacent wells. Supplying power to the integrated thermal cycling system, via the electronic interface, allows the multiple wells to exchange heat with the substrate and for each well to operate independently from other wells. |

| ABSTRACT | A valve system for controlling a corrosive process liquid flow, while avoiding corrosion due to a liquid/vapor interface of the process liquid, causes the process liquid to flow from the valve through a purge port into a vertical segment of a purge line. During valve initialization, a non-reactive gas backpressure within the purge line is controlled to establish the liquid/vapor interface at a desired height within the vertical segment, as determined by an interface level sensor, which can be ultrasonic. The vertical segment is constructed from, or lined with, a material that can withstand contact with the liquid/vapor interface. During valve operation, the non-reactive gas pressure can continue to be regulated, or a purge valve can be shut, trapping a fixed quantity of the non-reactive gas within the purge line. The valve can include a heater configured to prevent a molten process liquid from solidifying within the valve. |

| ABSTRACT | An interferometric radioimager provides real-time, high-fidelity radioimaging of high voltage breakdown (HVB) both internal and external to electrical components at sub-nanosecond and sub-millimeter resolution and has an ability to resolve multiple/spatially-extensive HVB simultaneously. Therefore, radioimaging can be used to screen for early life weakness/failure and enable non-destructive screening of defective electrical components. In particular, radioimaging can detect precursors to catastrophic HVB, allowing for early detection of weakness in critical electrical components. Radioimaging can also be used to track HVB and pinpoint defects in electrical components real time, including transformers, capacitors, cables, switches, and microelectronics. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for determining a light intensity field for use in manufacturing a 3D object from a volume of material. The system receives a 3D specification of a 3D geometry for the 3D object that specifies voxels within the volume that contain material that is to be part of the 3D object. The system employs a cost function for effectiveness of a light intensity field in manufacturing the 3D object. The cost function may be an adjoint of an Attenuated Radon Transform that models an energy dose that each voxel would receive during manufacture of the 3D object using the light intensity field. The system applies an optimization technique that employs the cost function to generate a measure of the effectiveness of possible light intensity fields and outputs an indication of a light intensity field that will be effective in manufacturing the 3D object. |

| ABSTRACT | Global fluence estimators may be calculated on accelerators and processors for neutron and photon Monte Carlo transport. Monte Carlo random walk simulation may be performed on the processors and the calculation of a Volumetric-Ray-Casting (VRC) estimator may be offloaded to the accelerators. The VRC estimator may modify an expected-value estimator to extend a pseudo-particle ray along the direction of the emitted particle from source and collision event through not only the event volume, but also through all volumes that describe the problem geometry. Additionally, many pseudo-particle rays may be sampled per event, rather than just a single pseudo-particle ray per event, in order to provide more complete angular coverage. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus and method for facilitating the removal of layers from a die for an integrated circuit while maintaining the planarity of the surface of the die by avoiding rounding the corners and other edges of the die. A pocket is created in a sacrificial material, such that when the die is inserted into the pocket the edges of the die are contiguous with the walls of the pocket and a top surface of the die is coplanar with a top surface of the pocket. The sacrificial material may be the same material as the die. An adhesive substance is placed in the pocket, and the die is inserted into the pocket and against the adhesive substance which aids in retaining the die in the pocket. The layers may then be removed from the die and the sacrificial material around the die without rounding the edges of the die. |

| ABSTRACT | Single-stage and multi-stage systems and methods for the recovery of critical elements in substantially pure form from lithium ion batteries are provided. The systems and methods include supported membrane solvent extraction using an immobilized organic phase within the pores of permeable hollow fibers. The permeable hollow fibers are contacted by a feed solution on one side, and a strip solution on another side, to provide the simultaneous extraction and stripping of elements from dissolved lithium ion cathode materials, while rejecting other elements from the feed solution. The single- and multi-stage systems and methods can selectively recover cobalt, manganese, nickel, lithium, aluminum and other elements from spent battery cathodes and are not limited by equilibrium constraints as compared to traditional solvent extraction processes. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for differentiating between different modes of pulsed electrical discharges via of an amplitude to time (ATC) conversion circuit is described. A bipolar ATC circuit is used to add together the positive and negative portions of an attenuated and filtered signal derived either from the voltage or current of a pulse. Alternatively, a unipolar ATC circuit may be employed. The resulting processed signal is compared against a reference voltage to generate an output signal that is active for the amount of time that the processed signal exceeds the reference voltage. Discharge mode is determined based on three factors: did a pulse occur, if a pulse occurred when did the pulse start relative to the original pulse event, and what is the duty cycle of the pulse. Subsequent pulse generated may be controlled accordingly. |

| ABSTRACT | An impact test apparatus can be used to determine particle interfacial energies with varying relative air humidity. It was observed that capillary condensation increased the adhesive forces of hydrophilic materials. A systems humidity separation window was identified and the differences in interfacial energy for a hydrophilic surface and for a hydrophobic surface can be exploited in order to achieve the separation of particles. Separation and concentration of particles, particularly particles within a mineral ore body, can be obtained. |

| ABSTRACT | A highly efficient, Z-selective ring-closing metathesis system for the formation of macrocycles using a stereoretentive, ruthenium-based catalyst supported by a dithiolate ligand is reported. This catalyst is demonstrated to be remarkably active as observed in initiation experiments showing complete catalyst initiation at −20° C. within 10 min. Using easily accessible diene starting materials bearing a Z-olefin moiety, macrocyclization reactions generated products with significantly higher Z-selectivity in appreciably shorter reaction times, in higher yield, and with much lower catalyst loadings than in previously reported systems. Macrocyclic lactones ranging in size from twelve-membered to seventeen-membered rings are synthesized in moderate to high yields (68-79% yield) with excellent Z-selectivity (95%-99% Z). |

| ABSTRACT | Macrocyclic polyalkene homopolymers and copolymers can be formed and converted to macrocyclic polyalkanes or macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkene) upon hydrogenation or, when the macrocyclic polyalkene is reacted with an alkene in the presence of an olefin metathesis catalyst, to a macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkene) comprising vicinal —C(═CR2)—'s. Upon hydrogenation of a macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkene) comprising vicinal —C(═CR2)-'s, macrocyclic poly(alkane)s or poly(alkane-co-alkene)s with isolated —C(═CR2)- groups can be provided, depending on the degree of hydrogenation. The poly(alkane-co-alkene)s with isolated —C(═CR2)- units can be used to form poly(macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkene))s, poly(macrocyclic poly(alkane))s, and/or bi-, tri-, and/or multi-macrocyclic poly(alkane-co-alkene)s or bi-, tri-, and/or multi-macrocyclic poly(alkane)s. |

| ABSTRACT | An approach to autonomous navigation of a vehicle augments a static map of an environment with a clutter map characterizing a risk of encountering an object that is not represented in the static map of the environment. For example, the clutter map may be based on locations and velocities of those objects, and route planning may avoid planning a path through locations that have a high risk of occupancy, and therefore potential delay or collision. |

| ABSTRACT | A new and useful thermochromic liquid crystal Indicator is disclosed that provides an indication of the temperature of the Object to which the Indicator is attached, and is an improvement over the existing art for at least the fact that the impact of ambient air circulating around the Indicator and circulating the Object is reduced by several means, such as i) the use of a novel cap or housing to isolate the liquid crystal Structure from ambient air and from touching or ii) using a novel liquid crystal formulation that reduces the reaction time of the thermochromic liquid crystal contained in the Indicator to changing temperatures conveyed by the ambient air. The new and useful liquid crystal Indicator can also employ either a template or a colored filter as a mask that narrows the colors and narrows the range of temperatures indicated by the Indicator. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, device configurations, and processes are provided for tracking and navigation using low-earth orbit satellite (LEO) signals. Embodiments are provided to track LEO satellites in the absence or during interrupted service by global position sources (e.g., GNSS). Operations and a framework are provided to use low-earth orbit (LEO) downlink transmissions as a source of positioning data. Operations can include performing a Doppler frequency measurement on received satellite downlink transmissions to determine a pseudorange rate measurement for a vehicle relative to at least one LEO satellite. Pseudorange rate measurements may be used to correct vehicle position data of a vehicles inertial navigation system (INS) and for control/navigation of the vehicle. Embodiments allow for simultaneous tracking of LEO satellites and navigation of a vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle. Embodiments are also directed to employing a propagation model for LEO position and velocity within a simultaneous tracking and navigation (STAN) framework. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for converting a radio frequency (RF) to a direct current (DC) signal by generating acoustic phonons from the received RF signal utilizing a piezoelectric material. The acoustic phonons of the RF signal interact with the electrons of a semiconductive material to generate a DC signal that is proportional to the power of the RF signal. The DC signal can be used to power devices or can be interpreted as a measure of a local RF frequency spectrum. |

| ABSTRACT | Described are methods for identifying the in-field positions of plant features on a plant by plant basis. These positions are determined based on images captured as a vehicle (e.g., tractor, sprayer, etc.) including one or more cameras travels through the field along a row of crops. The in-field positions of the plant features are useful for a variety of purposes including, for example, generating three-dimensional data models of plants growing in the field, assessing plant growth and phenotypic features, determining what kinds of treatments to apply including both where to apply the treatments and how much, determining whether to remove weeds or other undesirable plants, and so on. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments of an additively fabricated turbine blade having an integral tuned mass absorber are disclosed herein. The tuned mass absorber has an elliptical cross-section that results in the suppression of blade vibrations in at least two orthogonal modes of vibration. The tuned mass absorber is formed simultaneously during the additive fabrication of the blade. In an embodiment, the tuned mass absorber extends spanwise. In another embodiment, the tuned mass absorber extends chordwise. The dynamic responses of these spanwise and chordwise tuned mass absorbers are analytically predictable such that the dynamic responses may be incorporated into the design process of the turbine blade. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosed technology generally relates to characterization of semiconductor structures, and more particularly to optical characterization of high-k dielectric materials. A method includes providing a semiconductor structure comprising a semiconductor and a high-k dielectric layer formed over the semiconductor, wherein the dielectric layer has electron traps formed therein. The method additionally includes at least partially transmitting an incident light having an incident energy through the high-k dielectric layer and at least partially absorbing the incident light in the semiconductor. The method additionally includes measuring a nonlinear optical spectrum resulting from the light having the energy different from the incident energy, the nonlinear optical spectrum having a first region and a second region, wherein the first region changes at a different rate in intensity compared to the second region. The method further includes determining from the nonlinear optical spectrum one or both of a first time constant from the first region and a second time constant from the second region, and determining a trap density in the high-k dielectric layer based on the one or both of the first time constant and the second time constant. |

| ABSTRACT | A new and useful thermochromic liquid crystal Indicator is disclosed that provides an indication of the temperature of the Object to which the Indicator is attached, and is an improvement over the existing art for at least the fact that the impact of ambient air circulating around the Indicator and circulating the Object is reduced by several means, such as i) the use of a novel cap or housing to isolate the liquid crystal Structure from ambient air and from touching or ii) using a novel liquid crystal formulation that reduces the reaction time of the thermochromic liquid crystal contained in the Indicator to changing temperatures conveyed by the ambient air. The new and useful liquid crystal Indicator can also employ either a template or a colored filter as a mask that narrows the colors and narrows the range of temperatures indicated by the Indicator. |

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, November 07, 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:
https://wayfinder.digital/fedinvent/patents-2022/fedinvent-patents-20231107.html
Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
