ABSTRACT A system and method for depth-resolved imaging of fluorophore concentrations in tissue uses a pulsed light source stimulus wavelength to illuminate the tissue; and a time-gated electronic camera such as a single-photon avalanche detector camera to observe the tissue in multiple time windows after start of each light pulse. A filter device is between the tissue and the electronic camera with fluorescent imaging and stimulus wavelength settings. an image processor receives reflectance images and fluorescent emissions images from the time-gated camera and processes these images into depth and quantity resolved images of fluorophore concentrations in the tissue. Then image processor derives a fluorescence lifetime signal from the received temporal fluorescence signals and derives from these fluorescence lifetime signals biochemical property images of the tissue.

ABSTRACT The invention described relates to the newly discovered ability of tumor internalizing arginylglycylaspartic acid (iRGD) peptides to alter the immune cell landscape in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and other cancers. The iRGD peptides sensitize the cancer to immune checkpoint inhibitors, for example anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-1, and anti-CTLA4 monoclonal antibodies to specifically deplete Tregs within the tumor, resulting in expansion of intratumoral CD8+ T cells (effector cells). This provides methods of treating cancers such as PDAC, preferably in synergistic combination with chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which leads to reduced tumor burden and prolonged survival.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods are provided for neurostimulation timed relative to respiratory activity. Neurostimulation may be delivered to the spinal cord, the vagus nerve, and/or branches of the vagus nerve to provide therapeutic outcomes by controlling or adjusting stimulation based on pulmonary activity. In particular, the systems and methods use a detecting device to detect respiratory activity over time. Specific points in the respiratory signal are identified where central autonomic nuclei may be more receptive to afferent input and a stimulator is instructed to provide neurostimulation to at least one auricular branch of a vagus nerve, or to a cervical branch of the vagus nerve, or to a spinal cord of the subject. In this regard, the neurostimulation is advantageously correlated to the detected respiratory activity providing improved therapeutic outcomes.

ABSTRACT It has been discovered that phosphorylation-dependent uncoupling of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays an important role in endothelial cell (EC) barrier disruption. Compositions and methods to reduce or prevent eNOS uncoupling are disclosed. Decoy peptides that can prevent phosphorylation and mitochondrial redistribution of eNOS, reduce eNOS uncoupling, and preserve EC barrier function, and uses thereof, are described. The peptides improve lung vascular integrity in a mouse model of VILI. Thus, the decoy peptides can be used to treat or prevent diseases or disorders associated with increased vascular permeability such as ALI, ARDS, and VILI.

ABSTRACT Provided herein are compositions and methods for the multiplexed profiling of RNA and DNA modifications across transcriptomes and genomes, respectively. The methods combine molecular recognition of non-canonical features (e.g., base modifications, backbone modifications, lesions, and/or structural elements) of a target nucleic acid with a step of writing the information from this recognition event into the neighboring genetic sequence of the target nucleic acid using a barcode. The resultant barcoded nucleic acids are then converted into sequencing libraries and read by DNA/RNA sequencing methods. This step reveals the sequence of the barcode, which is correlated with the non-canonical feature in the target nucleic acid(s). The high throughput profiling methods described herein allow for identification and/or localization of one or more modifications in a target nucleic acid. The methods also allow for identification of the nature and location of several or all DNA/RNA modifications in parallel.

ABSTRACT Disclosed herein is a system and method for increasing the fidelity of measured genetic data, for making allele calls, and for determining the state of aneuploidy, in one or a small set of cells, or from fragmentary DNA, where a limited quantity of genetic data is available. Poorly or incorrectly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed using expected similarities between the target genome and the genome of genetically related individuals. In accordance with one embodiment, incomplete genetic data from an embryonic cell are reconstructed at a plurality of loci using the more complete genetic data from a larger sample of diploid cells from one or both parents, with or without haploid genetic data from one or both parents. In another embodiment, the chromosome copy number can be determined from the measured genetic data, with or without genetic information from one or both parents.

ABSTRACT DNA containing somatic mutations is highly tumor specific and thus, in theory, can provide optimum markers. However, the number of circulating mutant gene fragments is small compared to the number of normal circulating DNA fragments, making it difficult to detect and quantify them with the sensitivity required for meaningful clinical use. We apply a highly sensitive approach to quantify circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in body samples of patients. Measurements of ctDNA can be used to reliably monitor tumor dynamics in subjects with cancer, especially those who are undergoing surgery or chemotherapy. This personalized genetic approach can be generally applied.

ABSTRACT A method of purifying radiochemical species (e.g., radiopharmaceuticals) using thin layer chromatography (TLC) plates includes loading one or more TLC plates with a sample containing the radiochemical species to be purified. The one or more TLC plates are then developed with a mobile phase. The one or more developed TLC plates are then imaged to obtain radioactivity image(s) of the one or more TLC plates. Optional UV images may also be obtained using the same imaging platform. The location of the radiochemical species on the one or more TLC plates is identified from the radioactivity image(s). The radiochemical species on the one or more TLC plates is/are removed at the identified locations. Removal may be accomplished using a mechanical process such as scraping or punching. Alternatively, non-destructive techniques may be employed to remove the radiochemical species from the TLC plate(s).

ABSTRACT Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are described to generate representations of molecules having one or more targeted properties. In one or more examples, an autoencoder can be trained to generate a latent space that represents a number of molecules. The latent space can be used to train a property prediction network that includes a number of property predictors. A latent space optimization process can use the property predictors to identify regions of the latent space that represent molecules having the one or more targeted properties.

ABSTRACT The present invention relates to angle-tuned (AT) ring coil devices to reduce the individual coil footprint and improve depth-spread characteristics of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) systems. The AT coil device includes multiple stacked coils, which enhances field strength, reduces the footprint, and increases the field penetration depth by modifying its geometric distribution. Moreover, the AT coil devices demonstrated superior performance for multisite stimulation due to their smaller footprint, making them suitable for multisite stimulations of inter and intra-hemispheric brain regions with an improved spread and less electric field divergence.

ABSTRACT This disclosure demonstrates a new method to produce three dimensional multiphasic structures, including bijels, via vapor-induced phase separation (VIPS). In VIPS, the evaporation of the co-solvent from a ternary mixture of oil, water and ethanol, induces phase separation. Particles present in the mixture attach to the interface and arrest the phase separation between water and oil. VIPS enables, inter alia, the fabrication of films and coatings via spreading or spraying particle-laden suspension onto a surface without the need for an outer aqueous phase.

ABSTRACT Techniques disclosed herein relate to applying a trained constrained Markov decision process (CMDP) to control an autonomous vehicle to perform a stunt maneuver, such as a J-turn, in a safe and agile manner. The CMDP may implement a set of fuzzy logic instructions that correspond to actions needed to execute the stunt maneuver. While training the CMDP, the techniques disclosed herein may utilize a dynamic model of the autonomous vehicle that includes a model of the uncertainty introduced when implementing the stunt maneuver, such as the uncertainty in the tire-road mechanics. By utilizing a worst case scenario measure of the uncertainty during training, safe performance of the stunt maneuver is guaranteed when the trained model is applied in the real world.

The reaction tolerates a variety of sterically and electronically distinct pyridines and is exclusively selective for the 4-position in most cases. The reaction proceeds via initial phosphonium salt formation followed by sp2-sp3 phosphorus ligand-coupling, an underdeveloped manifold for C—C bond formation.

ABSTRACT A method is disclosed of assembling building blocks into supraparticles. The method includes applying a first solvent on a template of patterned recessed regions to wet surfaces of the recessed regions; applying a second solvent on the template of patterned recessed regions, the building blocks suspended in the second solvent; wherein the first solvent and the second solvent are partially miscible, resulting in negligible interfacial surface tension between the first and second solvents; and wherein droplets of the second solvent diffuse droplets of the first solvent in the recessed regions, thereby assembling the building blocks into the supraparticles in the recessed regions.

ABSTRACT The vibration attenuation system includes a load bearing layer, a non-load bearing layer, and a rigid beam connector. The load bearing layer has a first density and a first stiffness. The non-load bearing layer has a second density and a second stiffness. The second density is lower than the first density. The rigid beam connector has a third density and a third stiffness. The rigid beam connector couples the load bearing layer to the non-load bearing layer. The coupling of the non-load bearing layer to the load bearing layer is enabled through the use of the rigid beam connector which provides a nonlocal connection to transfer energy from the load bearing layer to the non-load bearing layer.

ABSTRACT Some examples provides a set of frameworks, process and methods aimed at enabling the expression and exploration of free-form and parametric 3D shape designs enabled through natural interactions with a hand-held mobile device acting as a controller for 3D virtual objects. A reference plane in a virtual space generated by the location of the mobile device may be used to select a 3D virtual object intersected by the reference plane. Positioning of the mobile device may also be used to control a pointer in the virtual space. In an example, the orientation of the mobile device may be detected by an accelerometer or gyroscope. In example, the position of the mobile device may be detected by a position sensor.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods to identify a rehabilitation policy for water pipe networks are provided. A graph is built to represent a water pipe network including edges for each pipe and nodes for each water source or water user. An approach based on proximity analysis is used to determine the criticality of each node in the graph based on the spatial distribution of water demand type in the neighborhood where the node is located. The spatial variabilities of demand criticalities along with the spatial variabilities of the seismic ground motion intensities are integrated into the formulation of an optimization problem to identify rehabilitation policies the water supply network. A purpose-built simulated annealing algorithm is then used to solve the optimization problem. Results of the optimization may then be used to identify pipes in the water pipe network to replace based on a replacement budget.

ABSTRACT A Processing-in-Memory (PIM) design is disclosed that converts any memory sub-array based on non-volatile resistive bit-cells into a potential processing unit. The memory includes the data matrix stored in terms of resistive states of memory cells. Through modifying peripheral circuits, the address decoder receives three addresses and activates three memory rows with resistive bit-cells (i.e., data operands). In this way, three bit-cells are activated in each memory bit-line and sensed simultaneously, leading to different parallel resistive levels at the sense amplifier side. By selecting different reference resistance levels and a modified sense amplifier, a full-set of single-cycle 1-/2-3-input reconfigurable complete Boolean logic and full-adder outputs could be intrinsically readout based on input operand data in the memory array.

ABSTRACT Transparent UV-absorbing solar cells are promising for the applications of powering electrochromic windows that regulate the transmission of visible and near-infrared photons for natural lighting and heating purposes, respectively. Current technologies focus on using organic solar cells for the application due to their narrow excitonic absorption and tunable bandgaps. However, transparent organic solar cells have drawbacks including the stability issue and thickness-induced problems, such as low yield rate and limited power conversion efficiency. Disclosed herein is the co-deposition of two or more materials by thermal evaporation to make visibly transparent inorganic perovskite films. By tuning the halide compositions, the inorganic perovskite films show absorption range in UV and near-UV region, which is well-suited to the application. Its high conductivity and absorbance enable it to be around 400 nm thick for devices, which is critical to improve the yield rate and efficiency. The solar cells based on the inorganic perovskite active layers show higher power conversion efficiency and higher transparency than state-of-art UV absorbing solar cells. The disclosed approach is not limited to the exemplary embodiment employing inorganic perovskite, and can employ, e.g., inorganic, organic and hybrid perovskite.

ABSTRACT A new series of secure logging schemes that are referred to as Optimal Signatures for secure Logging (OSLO) are created. OSLO schemes are the first AS-based secure logging schemes that achieve small-constant tag and public key sizes with near-optimal signing and batch verification via various granularities. These features make them ideal for IoT-STaaS applications, wherein efficient signing and batch verification are critical for the resource-limited IoTs and cold storage servers, respectively.

ABSTRACT Certain examples are directed to methods for detection of anomalies in semiconductor thin-film materials, such as strains, defects and the like, that may precipitate defects in semiconductor processing steps and may adversely impact device and system-level functionality, processing, and yields. Certain methods use filtering optics to provide a set of filter-separated light beams respectively associated with different polarization states of polarized light directed towards a semiconductor-related material sample, and providing a set of sample-characterizing response data based on factors such as sets of polarization-state values, different wavelengths associated with the polarization states, and/or light-incidence angles characterizing separation of the different polarization states. Based on these factors, the types and severities of such anomalies may be analyzed and the related defects remedied.

ABSTRACT In one embodiment, a voltammetry sensor measurement system includes one or more potentiostats configured to transmit an electrical input to a working electrode of a voltammetry sensor and to measure an electrical output from the voltammetry sensor in response to the electrical input, the electrical input including a square wave electrical input, the measured electrical output including a differential current through the working electrode. A controller is coupled with the potentiostats to monitor, in real time, the differential current through the working electrode. The controller is configured to determine if the monitored differential current will exceed a preset differential current threshold of the voltammetry sensor, using a predictive algorithm based on the monitored differential current, before the differential current reaches the threshold; and to generate a signal when the monitored differential current is determined to exceed the threshold, to preserve the voltammetry sensor before the differential current reaches the threshold.

ABSTRACT A user-space emulation framework for heterogeneous system-on-chip (SoC) design is provided. Embodiments described herein propose a portable, Linux-based emulation framework to provide an ecosystem for hardware-software co-design of heterogenous SoCs (e.g., domain-specific SoCs (DSSoCs)) and enable their rapid evaluation during the pre-silicon design phase. This framework holistically targets three key challenges of heterogeneous SoC design: accelerator integration, resource management, and application development. These challenges are addressed via a flexible and lightweight user-space runtime environment that enables easy integration of new accelerators, scheduling heuristics, and user applications, and the utility of each is illustrated through various case studies. A prototype compilation toolchain is introduced that enables automatic mapping of unlabeled C code to heterogeneous SoC platforms. Taken together, this environment offers a unique ecosystem to rapidly perform functional verification and obtain performance and utilization estimates that help accelerate convergence towards a final heterogeneous SoC design.

ABSTRACT Atmospheric turbulence degrades decoding and data recovery from optically transmitted signals. For example, atmospheric turbulence can induce power coupling from the transmitted Gaussian mode to higher-order modes, resulting in significantly degraded mixing efficiency and system performance. Systems and methods are provided to generate a signal that is a conjugate of the atmospheric noise which is combined with a received data signal to ameliorate atmospheric noise. An optical pilot beam may be transmitted with an optical data beam and received by a receiver which utilizes the optical pilot beam to generate the signal that is a conjugate of the atmospheric noise.

ABSTRACT Miscanthus x giganteus is a widely recognized bioenergy crop that finds potential applications in a biorefinery for the production of a wide range of biofuels and biochemicals. This disclosure focuses upon the quantification of the total anthocyanin concentration in miscanthus. Hydrothermal pretreatment was studied for recovering anthocyanins in the pretreatment liquor. The optimized pretreatment conditions (170° C., 10 min) led to a recovery of 94.3±1.5% w/w of the total anthocyanin concentration and also improved the enzymatic digestibility of the biomass, allowing recovery of 70.6±0.5% w/w of glucose at the end of 72 h of enzymatic saccharification. The sugar monomers obtained after the enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated biomass could be used for the production of biofuels or biochemicals in an integrated biorefinery.

ABSTRACT Processes are provided which pyrolytically extract hydrochloric acid from a magnesium ion-rich salt mixture. In this regard, a supply of the magnesium ion-rich salt mixture (e.g., bittern) may be directed to a pyrolytic chamber where it is contacted with heated gas (e.g., combustion flue gas) at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient time to form a vapor product stream comprised of hydrochloric acid and an insoluble pyrolyzed mixed salt stream comprised of magnesium hydroxide and sodium sulfate decahydrate. The solid pyrolyzed mixed salt stream may be separated into separate product streams comprising the insoluble magnesium hydroxide and remaining soluble salt fractions, while the vapor product stream of hydrochloric acid from the pyrolytic chamber may be condensed form an aqueous HCl solution. The magnesium ion rich salt mixture may be dehydrated prior to pyrolysis to achieve magnesium ions in a tetrahydrate state or lower (e.g., a monohydrate to a trihydrate state).

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for preparing encapsulant-containing polymer capsules and fibers, as well as the encapsulant-containing polymer capsules and fibers and composites including the same are described. In one example, forming a plurality of encapsulant-containing polymer capsules includes preparing a mixture comprising a polymer, a solvent, an encapsulant, and a polymer that is soluble in the solvent, and removing some of the solvent from the mixture to yield the plurality of polymer capsules. Each polymer capsule include a shell formed of the polymer and contains the encapsulant. In another example, forming a plurality of polymer fibers containing an encapsulant includes providing the mixture to an electrospin apparatus and electrospinning the mixture to yield the plurality polymer fibers, where each polymer fiber defines a hollow core that contains the encapsulant.

How To Use This Page 

THE FEDINVENT PATENT APPLICATION 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 Thursday, January 04, 2024.

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 is presented as it appears on the patent.

FILED
The date 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 the 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.
