| ABSTRACT | Persistence of HIV in anatomic sanctuary sites such as the brain prevents viral eradication. Although combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) inhibits viral replication to undetectable level by standard clinical assay, it does not selectively eliminate virus reservoirs. To target HIV reservoirs, the present inventor developed an HIV Rev-dependent lentiviral vector carrying a series of therapeutic genes, such as diphtheria toxin, anthrolysin O from Bacillus anthracis, human TRAF6, or the herpes simplex 1 virus thymidine kinase gene (HSV-tk). The present disclosure provides the Rev-dependent vectors for targeting viral reservoir in a SIV/rhesus macaque model. SIV-infected rhesus macaques were first treated with cART for over 6 months starting 12 weeks post infection, followed by injections with viral particles assembled from a SIV Rev-dependent vector carrying HSV-tk. Following particle injection, animals were further treated briefly (two weeks) with ganciclovir (GCV), which induces the killing of SIV+, HSV-tk expressing cells. cART was terminated following the GCV treatment, and there was observed a partial control of viral rebound over a period of 4 months after cART cessation. The animal was further treated with additional Rev-dependent vector particles, and viral load was diminished to the undetectable level for over 1 year in the absence of any treatment. These results suggest that the Rev-dependent vector, with or without a functional gene, has the potential to diminish viral reservoirs in vivo and can offer a cure of functional cure of HIV/SIV infection. |

| ABSTRACT | Cancer specific DNA methylation regions have been studied to find cancer specific DNA methylation markers for most common cancers. Differentially methylated regions for individual cancer types were identified and those were further filtered against data from normal tissues to obtain marker regions with cancer specific methylation, resulting in total of 1,250 hypermethylated and 584 hypomethylated marker CpGs. Optimal sets of six markers for each TCGA cancer type that could identify most tumors with high specificity and sensitivity (AUC 0.969-1.00) were chosen from hypermethylated markers and a universal 12 marker set that can detect tumors of all 33 TCGA cancer types (AUC>0.84) was also chosen from hypermethylated markers. |

| ABSTRACT | A system provides feedback to a user to guide the user to point a part of the body at a target of interest. An angle sensor senses the angle in which the part of the user's body is pointing, such as the head or the hand. The system computes the angle to a target and compares to the angle in which the part of the user's body is pointing and the feedback indicates to the user how to point more closely to the direction of the target. Additional sensors allow the system to update the angle to the target as the position of the user changes. A walking sensor is disclosed to accurately measure the position of the user. |

| ABSTRACT | An exemplary system, method, and computer-accessible medium for generating an image(s) of an anatomical structure(s) in a biological sample(s) can include receiving first wide field microscopy imaging information for the biological sample, generating second imaging information by applying a gradient-based distance transform to the first imaging information, and generating the image(s) based on the second imaging information. The second imaging information can be generated by applying an anisotropic diffusion procedure to the first imaging information. The second imaging information can be generated by applying a curvilinear filter and a Hessian-based enhancement filter after the application of the gradient-based distance transform. The second information can be generated by applying (i) a tube enhancement procedure or (ii) a plate enhancement procedure after the application of the gradient-based distance transform. |

| ABSTRACT | Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward methods and apparatuses for interacting a first liquid and a second liquid in one or more fluidic channels of a capillary structure. The methods and apparatuses can include providing at least one capillary barrier that positions a meniscus of the first liquid at a fluid-interface region using capillary forces within the capillary structure. Additionally, a path is provided along one of the channels for the second liquid to flow toward the fluid-interface region. Additionally, gas pressure is released, via a gas-outflow port, from the fluid-interface region while flow of the first liquid is arrested. Further, the first liquid and the second liquid contact in the fluid-interface region with the capillary barrier holding the first liquid at the fluid-interface region. |

| ABSTRACT | A propulsion system includes multiple solid rocket motors that are activated by a single initiator. The rocket motors act in parallel, providing thrust in a single direction. The initiator activates an ignition charge that is in or operatively coupled to a plenum that transports hot gasses from the ignition charge to the rockets to be ignited. The plenum may be an annular plenum, which may be located in an annular manifold. The plenum may be an unchoked plenum, allowing flow of hot gasses without choking. The plenum may be lined with an insulator material. A cover may be used to cover the plenum, and also to receive the rocket motors. The rocket motors may be solid-fuel rocket motors. The individual rocket motors may have separate ignition booster charges coupled to the plenum, which are ignited by the ignition charge and which in turn ignite the propellant grains. |

| ABSTRACT | An axially separable fastener for securing a structure is provided to detach upon command of an electric signal. The fastener includes a metal bolt, an external nut, a frangible ampoule containing a liquid metal eutectic and an internal plug. The bolt has a metal shank with proximal and distal ends. The shank includes a first head at the proximal end, and a first helical external thread and an axial bore with a first helical internal thread at the distal end. The fastener secures a structure in compression between the first head and the external nut. The external nut screws onto the first external thread. The ampoule contains a liquid metal eutectic. The ampoule is insertable into the bore. The internal plug includes a second head, an actuator mechanism, and an auger opposite thereto. The internal plug has a second helical external thread between the second head and the auger for screwing into the bore along the first internal thread. Upon receipt of the signal, the internal plug axially drives the auger towards the proximal end into the ampoule to release the eutectic, thereby fracturing the bolt. |

| ABSTRACT | According to exemplary inventive practice, a personal armor system includes a textile-based layer not exceeding ½-half-inch thickness, and an elastomeric coating not exceeding ⅛-inch thickness. The textile-based layer includes a fiber reinforcement and a resin binder. The combined areal density of the textile-based layer and the elastomeric coating does not exceed 2.5 psf. According to a first mode of inventive practice, the elastomeric coating is essentially a strain-rate-sensitivity-hardening elastomer, and the areal density of the textile-based layer does not exceed 2.3 psf. According to a second mode of inventive practice, the elastomeric coating is essentially a microparticle-filled strain-rate-sensitivity-hardening elastomeric matrix material, and the areal density of the textile-based layer does not exceed 1.7 psf. The microparticles (e.g., spherical glass microparticles) do not exceed, by weight, 30 percent of the strain-rate-sensitivity-hardening elastomeric matrix material. The textile-based layer affords ballistic protection; the elastomeric coating affords protection against sharp/pointed objects. |

| ABSTRACT | A sensor configured to sense when a force is applied to a surface includes a capacitive structure having a first conductive layer, a dielectric layer, and a second conductive layer. The dielectric layer is overlain on the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer is overlain on the dielectric layer. A glass superstrate has a first side and a second side, with the first side overlain on the second conductive layer. The force is applied to the second side of the glass superstrate. The force results from an object attached to the second side of the glass superstrate. The force causes capacitance changes between the first and second conductive layers. The force can be compressive or tensile, depending on whether the object is attached by magnet or adhesive. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein are systems and methods for assessing a computing network's physical robustness to node and/or link failure during operation of the computing network. In one or more examples, the systems and methods can incorporate graph modeling and analysis techniques to assess the impact of node removal from a computing network and determine the impact that such removal has on the overall physical connectivity of the network. In one or more examples, a user or other entity can provide the system with a graph representation of a computing network, as well as specify the number of nodes to be removed (i.e., to simulate failure) to test the connectivity of the network. The system using these inputs can determine a worst-case scenario operating condition based on the inputs provided by the user, and can also assess the “network merit” which can represent a user-programmable definition that can represent a plurality desired types of connectivity. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for cyber security monitor includes monitoring a network interface that is input-only configured to surreptitiously and covertly receive bit-level, physical layer communication between networked control and sensor field devices. During a training mode, a baseline distinct native attribute (DNA) fingerprint is generated for each networked field device. During a protection mode, a current DNA fingerprint is generated for each networked field device. The current DNA fingerprint is compared to the baseline DNA fingerprint for each networked field device. In response to detect at least one of RAA and PAA based on a change in the current DNA fingerprint to the baseline DNA fingerprint of one or more networked field devices, an alert is transmitted, via an external security engine interface to an external security engine. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to substrates comprising a network comprising core shell liquid metal encapsulates comprising multi-functional ligands and processes of making and using such substrates. The core shell liquid metal particles are linked via ligands to form such network. Such networks volumetric conductivity increases under strain which maintains a substrate's resistance under strain. The constant resistance results in consistent thermal heating via resistive heating. Thus allowing a substrate that comprises such network to serve as an effective heat provider. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure provides polyamine sorbent compositions for the separation of metals from aqueous solutions. The polyamine sorbent compositions comprise a silica support, an aminosilane bound to the silica support, an epoxysilane bound to the silica support, and a polyamine where the polyamine is chemically tethered onto a solid silica support through via the epoxysilane. The polyamine may be further stabilized within the bulk sorbent through hydrogen bonding interactions with the aminosilane. The sorbent compositions resist leaching by H2O in an aqueous stream containing heavy oxyanion-based (and other) metals and demonstrate stability over a pH range of 2-14. The sorbent compositions are useful for the separation of metals from aqueous solutions. The cationic heavy metals are captured by the co-existing amine groups (—NH2, —NH, —N) from the polymeric network while additional metal capture capacity is derived from the introduction of a secondary silane linker. |

| ABSTRACT | A mooring system for an Ocean Wave Energy Converters (OWEC) includes multiple structural members such as legs and braces that are linearly extendible and connected using mobile joints, each joint providing two degrees of freedom for rotations about the joint. Mobile joints also attach bottom ends of the legs to mooring points. A jacking system can change lengths of the extensible structural members to adjust depth of the OWEC for operation or for storm safety, to lift the OWEC out of the water for maintenance, or to align the OWEC to an incoming wave direction. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method and system for converting ethanol to para-xylene. The method also provides a pathway to produce terephthalic acid from biomass-based feedstocks. In some embodiments, the disclosed method produces p-xylene with high selectivity over other aromatics typically produced in the conversion of ethanol to xylenes, such as m-xylene, ethyl benzene, benzene, toluene, and the like. And, in some embodiments, the method facilitates the ability to use ortho/para mixtures of methylbenzyaldehyde for preparing ortho/para xylene product mixtures that are amendable to fractionation to separate the para- and ortho-xylene products thereby providing a pure feedstock of para-xylene that can be used to form terephthalic anhydride and a pure feedstock of ortho-xylene that can be used for other purposes, such as phthalic anhydride. |

| ABSTRACT | A valve includes at least one valve stem seal, such as a packing seal, that is included in a removable seal cartridge. The valve stem is connected to the actuator via a linkage, which can be removed to provide a linkage gap between the actuator and the valve stem. The seal cartridge can then be slid along the valve stem into the linkage gap and laterally removed from the valve, whereupon the seals within the seal cartridge can be refurbished. The valve can be a rotary or linear valve. In embodiments, the linkage gap can be increased by linear displacement of the actuator away from the valve stem. The seal cartridge can be re-installed in the valve after refurbishment, or a substantially identical replacement seal cartridge can be provided, and can be installed in the valve in replacement of the removed seal cartridge, thereby minimizing downtime of the valve. |

| ABSTRACT | A seismic switch (SS) that is able to detect and signal when internal faults have occurred within the SS is described. The SS provides safety class functionality to the detection of seismic activity. For example, the SS may detect earthquakes above a specified level, resulting in the disconnection of electrical power to a radioactive waste storage facility, which could result in the ignition of waste materials should the storage facility and/or storage container fail during a seismic event. By reducing the risk of fire under these circumstances, the possibility of offsite releases is significantly reduced. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system for dispersing stored energy in an energy storage system to delay or arrest propagation of thermal runaway and thermally-induced cascading failures. The system includes a plurality of battery sub-assemblies and DC-DC converters connected to a shared DC bus through which energy may be exchanged. The system may be interfaced to an AC power grid or DC power system through an additional power converter. The method of dispersing stored energy uses this system to charge and discharge sub-assemblies such that the system is less susceptible to propagation of thermal runaway. The method determines, based on awareness of current system state, battery types, and electrical and thermal structure, the sequence of charging and discharging actions to best inhibit thermal runaway while preserving the system's ability to perform subsequent energy redistribution. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides methods for producing cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. Cathode materials that contain manganese are emphasized. Representative materials include LixNi1−y−zMnyCozO2 (NMC) (where x is in the range from 0.80 to 1.3, y is in the range from 0.01 to 0.5, and z is in the range from 0.01 to 0.5), LixMn2O4 (LM), and LixNi1−yMnyO2 (LMN) (where x is in the range from 0.8 to 1.3 and y is in the range from 0.0 to 0.8). The process includes reactions of carboxylate precursors of nickel, manganese, and/or cobalt and lithiation with a lithium precursor. The carboxylate precursors are made from reactions of pure metals or metal compounds with carboxylic acids. The manganese precursor contains bivalent manganese and the process controls the oxidation state of manganese to avoid formation of higher oxidation states of manganese. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is an electromagnetic coil system for use during transcranial or transdermal stimulation procedures, in which an electrically conductive coil wraps around a magnetic core at an oblique wrapping angle to provide a more directed focal spot size at a given depth inside of, for example, a patient's body. In certain configurations, the electrically conductive coil may be adjustable with respect to the magnetic core, such that the wrapping angle of the electrically conductive coil may be modified to, in turn, adjust the focal spot size of the induced electric field generated by the system as may desired to concentrate the field at a particularly desired location. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to the synthesis of metallic nickel-molybdenum-tungsten films and coatings with direct current sputter deposition, which results in fully-dense crystallographically textured films that are filled with nano-scale faults and twins. The as-deposited films exhibit linear-elastic mechanical behavior and tensile strengths above 2.5 GPa, which is unprecedented for materials that are compatible with wafer-level device fabrication processes. The ultra-high strength is attributed to a combination of solid solution strengthening and the presence of the dense nano-scale faults and twins. These films also possess excellent thermal and mechanical stability, high density, low CTE, and electrical properties that are attractive for next generation metal MEMS applications. Deposited as coatings these films provide protection against friction and wear. The as-deposited films can also be heat treated to modify the internal microstructure and attendant mechanical properties in a way that provides a desired balance of strength and toughness. |

| ABSTRACT | A system, apparatus, device and/or method for electrical label-free detection of single molecule via a glass or quartz nanopipette biosensor, one type of solid state nanopore biosensor based on resistive pulse measurements, are provided. The method of the subject invention effectively slows down the motion of biomolecules and concentrates them at the nanopipette tip. By driving biomolecules to come out of the nanopipette barrel and move in the fibrin hydrogel, unprecedented sensitivity using the typical size nanopipettes can be achieved. Small molecules such as doxorubicin, ATP, GTP, and short peptides can be easily detected with very high event rate, which greatly reduces the fabrication and measurement difficulties and open opportunities for various new applications for nanopipette biosensors. |

| ABSTRACT | An exemplary system, method, and computer-accessible medium for generating an image(s) of an anatomical structure(s) in a biological sample(s) can include receiving first wide field microscopy imaging information for the biological sample, generating second imaging information by applying a gradient-based distance transform to the first imaging information, and generating the image(s) based on the second imaging information. The second imaging information can be generated by applying an anisotropic diffusion procedure to the first imaging information. The second imaging information can be generated by applying a curvilinear filter and a Hessian-based enhancement filter after the application of the gradient-based distance transform. The second information can be generated by applying (i) a tube enhancement procedure or (ii) a plate enhancement procedure after the application of the gradient-based distance transform. |

| ABSTRACT | Cascaded metasurfaces can control the phase, amplitude and polarization of an electromagnetic beam, shaping it in three dimensional configuration not achievable with other methods. Each cascaded metasurface has dielectric or metallic scatterers arranged in a period array. The shape of the scatterers determines the three dimensional configuration of the output beam and is determined with iterative calculations through computational simulations. |

| ABSTRACT | A system provides feedback to a user to guide the user to point a part of the body at a target of interest. An angle sensor senses the angle in which the part of the user's body is pointing, such as the head or the hand. The system computes the angle to a target and compares to the angle in which the part of the user's body is pointing and the feedback indicates to the user how to point more closely to the direction of the target. Additional sensors allow the system to update the angle to the target as the position of the user changes. A walking sensor is disclosed to accurately measure the position of the user. |

| ABSTRACT | An arrayed waveguide for a photonic integrated circuit has a single optical path with serially connected delay lines. Different delayed optical paths or channels are periodically split off from the serially connected optical delay path. This has the net result of requiring much less space on-chip for comparable optical path differences with high spectral resolution. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides a leak monitoring system and associated method which is being configured to detect plumes of volatile organic compounds (VOC) as an alternative solution to the EPA Method 21, which measures VOC concentrations at the surface of each component. The leak monitoring system is a multi-layered system that includes monitoring performed by sensors that are fixed in place and sensors that are mobile. Each monitoring method is a layer and it complements and augments other layers. All the sensors wirelessly communicate with a central control through a gateway. The control unit further includes a software platform, which analyzes the data provided by the sensors in combination with other informetrics such as meteorological conditions and plant info to both identify the presence of a gas leak and to pinpoint a general location of the gas leak. When a significant gas leak is identified, the control unit sends an alert to plant managers via text or email, in addition to activating visual and/or audible alarms. |

| ABSTRACT | Next generation therapeutics for treatment of microorganisms (especially bacterium, fungus or certain virus) and cancer and for fluorescence diagnosis are provided. Association complex(es) effective as bactericides are formed in situ by loose interactions of molecular entities. Adjustable variable associations reduce chance bacteria develops adaptive resistance versus a single bactericide structure or method. Multifunctional variations simultaneously or sequentially attack target cells and adjust level of reactive oxygen species produced such as singlet oxygen. Claimed systems are effective bactericides in aerobic and anaerobic conditions and in absence of or presence of visible light. In presence of visible light in aerobic conditions, such are cancer treatments. Preferred are water soluble, nontoxic association complex(es). Variations can be formed by varying porphyrins and interacted metal ions, for illustration, tetrakis Ar substituted porphyrin without bound metal at core but combined with divalent metals of spatial and/or charge density characteristics similar to Zn(II) such as Co(II), Fe(II), and Mn(II). |

| ABSTRACT | A crossbar array includes a number of memory elements. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is electronically coupled to the vector output register. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is electronically coupled to the vector input register. A processor is electronically coupled to the ADC and to the DAC. The processor may be configured to determine whether division of input vector data by output vector data from the crossbar array is within a threshold value, and if not within the threshold value, determine changed data values as between the output vector data and the input vector data, and write the changed data values to the memory elements of the crossbar array. |

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 26, 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:
