| ABSTRACT | Resuscitation and ventilation monitoring devices are provided. A device includes an inlet in fluid communication with airflows exchanged with lungs of a patient and an airflow meter for measuring characteristics of the airflows. A user may provide a controller with patient information, e.g., height, weight, gender, or age, via a measurement selector, enabling the controller to determine acceptable ranges of measured airflow characteristics. The device may determine a current mode of ventilation and associated ventilator settings based on the measured airflow characteristics. The device may also identify and filter out artifacts present in the ventilation signal, and determine whether a respiratory failure phenotype is present in the ventilation. If the current mode of ventilation and associated ventilator settings fall outside an acceptable range, the ventilation is classified as off-target and the controller may cause a sensory alarm to alert the user. The device may suggest a corrective action based on the type of off-target ventilation detected. The device may also continuously analyze ventilation to determine changes in lung compliance over time and to identify pathological changes over time. The device may work within a network of devices and user interfaces via wired or wireless communication, and is not restricted to or dependent on the type of ventilatory device with which a patient is being supported. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention includes a spray drying disposable device for use in a spray drying system. The disposable has a spray drying head and a plasma drying chamber. The head has a spray dry nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the plasma source and the pressurized aerosol gas source. The pressurized gas flows in a vortex pattern that atomizes plasma droplets in the chamber. The head also includes a plenum has uniform air pressure of the drying gas. A baffle plate forms the floor of the plenum having drying gas jets that supply drying gas to the chamber. The atomized plasma droplets evaporate in the presence of the drying gas emitted from the jets to obtain dried plasma particles and humid air. A capture filter captures the dried plasma particles and allows the humid air to pass. The humid air passes through the gas outlet and the exhaust port. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for battery-based vehicle diagnostics are provided. Various embodiments include a battery-based diagnostics system that guards vehicles against anomalies with a cyber-physical approach. The diagnostics system can be implemented as an add-on module of commodity vehicles attached to automotive batteries, thus providing vehicles an additional layer of protection. The automotive battery can operate in strong dependency with many physical components of the vehicle, which is observable as correlations between battery voltage and the vehicle's corresponding operational parameters, e.g., a faster revolutions-per-minute (RPM) of the engine, in general, leads to a higher battery voltage. These embodiments exploit such physically induced correlations to diagnose vehicles by cross-validating the vehicle information with battery voltage and may be based on a set of data-driven norm models constructed online. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for efficient, effective, and safe separation and isolation of multiple isotopes (e.g., Mo, Zr, Ba, Sr, Te, and lanthanide isotopes) from fission products includes use of a plurality of chromatography columns, each containing a chromatographic resin formulated to target one or more particular isotopes. The system is operable in a “series” configuration to load the multiple columns by a single pass of the sample. Then, the system may be transitioned (e.g., using valves) to a “parallel” configuration in which multiple columns of the system may be operated simultaneously to elute targeted isotopes. Additional parallel operations of the columns, using different eluent compositions, may be used to elute different targeted isotopes. The system may be reconditioned in preparation for a subsequent sample. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to a method for forming a three dimensional (3D) component from a photopolymer resin. The method may involve generating a first optical beam at a first wavelength, with the first optical beam causing polymerization of a photopolymerizable resist. A second optical beam is generated at a second wavelength, different from the first wavelength, which inhibits polymerization of the photopolymerizable resist. A device is used to receive the first and second optical beams and to generate therefrom corresponding separate first and second light patterns, respectively, where the first light pattern forms a first image on the photopolymerizable resist to cause polymerization of a first portion of the photopolymerizable resist, while the second light pattern forms a second image on the photopolymerizable resist and inhibits polymerization of a second portion of the photopolymerizable resist. |

| ABSTRACT | A saline feed stream flows into a liquid-liquid extraction system; and a volatile organic solvent flows through a main compressor. The compressed volatile organic solvent then flows through a solvent regenerator, which can be a heat exchanger or a combination of a vaporization device and a condenser, to cool the volatile organic solvent. The cooled volatile organic solvent in liquid phase then flows into the liquid-liquid extraction system, where the saline feed stream contacts the volatile organic solvent to selectively extract water from the saline feed stream into the volatile organic solvent, producing a concentrated brine and an organic-rich mixture of water and the volatile organic solvent. The organic-rich mixture flows from the liquid-liquid extraction system into the solvent regenerator, where the organic-rich mixture is heated to produce an organic-rich vapor and desalinated water; and the organic-rich vapor is recycled as volatile organic solvent back into the liquid-liquid extraction system. |

| ABSTRACT | Microfabricated PM sensors measure concentrations of particulate matter (PM) in air. Some sensors improve the accuracy of measurements by accounting for the effect of ambient conditions (e.g., temperature or humidity) on mass-sensitive elements employed to determine a mass of the PM in a stream of air. Some sensors improve the accuracy of measurements by controlling humidity in the stream of air measured by mass-sensitive elements. Some sensors employ a plurality of mass-sensitive elements to extend the useful life of the PM sensor. Some sensors employ one or more mass-sensitive elements and heating elements to cause deposition and allow measurement of different sizes of PM. Some sensors can measure mass concentration of coarse PM in addition to fine PM in a stream of air. Some sensors control the flow rate of a stream of air measured by mass-sensitive elements. Some sensors include features to mitigate electromagnetic interference or electromagnetic signal loss. |

| ABSTRACT | An atomic magnetometer, and a method for using same is disclosed. The method for measuring an ambient magnetic field uses an atomic magnetometer that has a probe light beam with a probe axis that probes a polarization vector of an atomic population confined within a vapor cell. The method employs one or more measurement cycles. In each measurement cycle, the polarization vector is prepared in an initial state via an optical pumping pulse. The vapor cell is then subjected to the ambient magnetic field, which results in rotation of the polarization vector by Larmor precession. Within the measurement cycle, at a point in time after the polarization vector has been prepared in the initial state, the ambient magnetic field rotates the direction of the polarization vector, and at least one measurement is made of a projection of the Larmor-rotated polarization vector onto the probe axis during or after application of a magnetic waveform. |

| ABSTRACT | An asynchronous pipeline includes a first stage and one or more second stages. A controller provides control signals to the first stage to indicate a modification to an operating speed of the first stage. The modification is determined based on a comparison of a completion status of the first stage to one or more completion statuses of the one or more second stages. In some cases, the controller provides control signals indicating modifications to an operating voltage applied to the first stage and a drive strength of a buffer in the first stage. Modules can be used to determine the completion statuses of the first stage and the one or more second stages based on the monitored output signals generated by the stages, output signals from replica critical paths associated with the stages, or a lookup table that indicates estimated completion times. |

| ABSTRACT | Optical and electronic detection of chemicals, and particularly strong electron-donors, by 2H to 1T phase-based transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) films, detection apparatus incorporating the TMD films, methods for forming the detection apparatus, and detection systems and methods based on the TMD films are provided. The detection apparatus includes a 2H phase TMD film that transitions to the 1T phase under exposure to strong electron donors. After exposure, the phase state can be determined to assess whether all or a portion of the TMD has undergone a transition from the 2H phase to the 1T phase. Following detection, TMD films in the 1T phase can be converted back to the 2H phase, resulting in a reusable chemical sensor that is selective for strong electron donors. |

| ABSTRACT | Certain examples are directed to optical elements or devices that pass or process the light based on a set of connectable metasurface elements having been topology optimized. The connectable metasurface elements are independently optimized or designed to have each section having its own metasurface phase profile corresponding to a desired phase profile. In this way, such devices need not be designed or manufactured by importing a large number of results into simulation efforts, thereby realizing significant saving in terms of optimization time and computational power. |

| ABSTRACT | A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for incremental and decentralized pruning of a machine learning model in federated learning. A federated learning system determines a serial sequence of participating in model pruning by agents in the federated learning system. A server in the federated learning system sends, to a first agent in the serial sequence, an initial model to trigger a federated pruning process for the machine learning model. The each of agents in the serial sequence prunes the machine learning model. The each of agents in the serial sequence generates an intermediately pruned model for an immediately next agent to prune. A final agent in the serial sequence prunes the machine learning model and generates a finally pruned model. The final agent sends the finally pruned model to the server. |

| ABSTRACT | A system uses a machine learning based model to determine attributes describing states of mind and behavior of traffic entities in video frames captured by an autonomous vehicle. The system classifies video frames according to traffic scenarios depicted, where each scenario is associated with a filter based on vehicle attributes, traffic attributes, and road attributes. The system identifies a set of video frames associated with ground truth scenarios for validating the accuracy of the machine learning based model and predicts attributes of traffic entities in the video frames. The system analyzes video frames captured after the set of video frames to determine actual attributes of the traffic entities. Based on a comparison of the predicted attributes and actual attributes, the system determines a likelihood of the machine learning based model making accurate predictions and uses the likelihood to generate a navigation action table for controlling the autonomous vehicle. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for battery-based vehicle diagnostics are provided. Various embodiments include a battery-based diagnostics system that guards vehicles against anomalies with a cyber-physical approach. The diagnostics system can be implemented as an add-on module of commodity vehicles attached to automotive batteries, thus providing vehicles an additional layer of protection. The automotive battery can operate in strong dependency with many physical components of the vehicle, which is observable as correlations between battery voltage and the vehicle's corresponding operational parameters, e.g., a faster revolutions-per-minute (RPM) of the engine, in general, leads to a higher battery voltage. These embodiments exploit such physically induced correlations to diagnose vehicles by cross-validating the vehicle information with battery voltage and may be based on a set of data-driven norm models constructed online. |

| ABSTRACT | A Mie photo sensor is described. A Mie photo sensor is configured to leverage Mie scattering to implement a photo sensor having a resonance. The resonance is based on various physical and material properties of the Mie photo sensor. In an example, a Mie photo sensor includes a layer of semiconductor material with one or more mesas. Each mesa of semiconductor material may include a scattering center. The scattering center is formed by the semiconductor material of the mesa being at least partially surround by a material with a different refractive index than the semiconductor material. The abutting refractive index materials create an interface that forms a scattering center and localizes the generation of free carriers during Mie resonance. One or more electrical contacts may be made to the mesa to measure the electrical properties of the mesa. |

| ABSTRACT | Low latency beamforming using phased antenna arrays is the key for practical deployment of envisioned millimeter wave (mmWave) Gbps mobile networks. This work aims towards reducing the overhead of the exhaustive sector-level sweep phase of the analog beamforming adopted in the IEEE 802.11ad standard. This system uses a reconfigurable antenna single RF chain in the sub-6 GHz new radio (NR) band to aid codebook-based beam selection in the mmWave band of the NR. The system exploits the congruence between the spatial propagation signatures of signals at both mmWave and sub-6 GHz frequencies to reduce the beam search space. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system are provided for non-redundant detection of coactively linked nodes/data elements of a network or database topologically disposed in at least one triangularly linked arrangement. The network/database is topologically modelled as a graph having a plurality of vertices connected by edges. A neighborhood is generated in computer readable form for each connected vertex containing all other vertices directly connected thereto as neighbors. Connected vertex are ordered according to degree based on the number of neighbors. A reduced neighborhood is formed for each connected vertex by adaptively removing any lower order neighbor. Triangle neighborhoods are generated responsive to forward detections of common triangle neighbors through pairwise comparisons of reduced neighborhoods for connected vertices and each of their higher order neighbors, and reverse detection for certain connected vertices as triangle neighbors by lower ordered neighbors. Linked nodes/data elements are thereby screened in computationally mitigated manner to reveal coactive groupings. |

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, December 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.
