ABSTRACT The disclosure deals with a system and method for inducing sleep loss in animal test subjects, such as rats. A sleep deprivation chamber uses a DC Servo motor with a controller to cause a bar to sweep across the rodent cage floor. The system is programmed to sweep the bar across the floor of the rodent cage at varying intervals. The maximum speed at which the bar sweeps the entire rodent cage is within 3 seconds. The chamber is designed such that it can structurally accommodate a receiver and record EEG/EMG telemetrically in animals that have been implanted with sleep transmitters. During the sleep deprivation protocol, food and water are available to animals in the chamber at all times. The chamber is also designed to fit a standardized rodent (e.g., rat or mouse) cage, and plural cages such as an 8-chamber sleep restriction device can be simultaneously operated.

ABSTRACT Gravity-driven microfluidic system provides unidirectional physiological flow in cells, organs, multi-organs and organoids culture. Such gravity-driven flow is integrated in multi-organ system on a plate or multi-organ system on a chip to provide recirculations that simulates blood flow in humans. In addition, mechanical actuations on the organs provide true human on a chip or true human on a plate platform. Stretching of the organ substrate using gas at controlled pressure profile provides muscular stimulation and culturing the stretched organ at air/media or gas/liquid interface is useful for organ simulations.

ABSTRACT The invention relates to methods for capturing a polynucleotide comprising a DNA target segment from a population of polynucleotide molecules. The method may use a mixture comprising the population of the polynucleotide molecules, one or more polynucleotide primers, nucleotides, biotinylated nucleotides, a polymerase enzyme and a buffered liquid medium. The method may denature the polynucleotide molecules in the mixture so as to create single stranded portions of the polynucleotide molecules which can be accessible to the polynucleotide primers; hybridizing the polynucleotide primers to the polynucleotide comprising the DNA target segment. The method may create an extended polynucleotide primer by using the nucleotides, the biotinylated nucleotides and the polymerase enzyme as a means for labeling with biotin and increasing the extent of hybridization of the extended polynucleotide primer to the polynucleotide comprising the DNA target segment. The method may add streptavidin-labeled magnetic beads to the mixture. The method may use a magnetic field to move the streptavidin-labeled magnetic beads relative to the buffered liquid medium as a means for increasing binding of the biotinylated nucleotides of the extended polynucleotide primer to the streptavidin-labeled magnetic beads. The method may use either a rotation of the magnetic field relative to the mixture or a rotation of the mixture relative to the magnetic field for causing a streptavidin-labeled magnetic bead rotation in the buffered liquid medium as a means for performing the steps of increasing the binding of the biotinylated nucleotides of the extended polynucleotide primer to the streptavidin-labeled magnetic beads and increasing the winding of the biotinylated nucleotides of the extended polynucleotide primer onto the streptavidin-labeled magnetic beads, so as to increase the probability of capturing a long polynucleotide comprising a DNA target segment and so as to increase the probability of preventing damage to the long polynucleotide comprising a DNA target segment. Also the method may use a magnetic field to collect the streptavidin-labeled magnetic beads so as to capture the polynucleotide comprising the DNA target segment which is bound to the streptavidin-labeled magnetic beads.

ABSTRACT A non-localized efficiency shimming technique is used to generate radio frequency (RF) shimming values for imaging with a multi-channel transmit RF coil that minimizes subject-specific imperfections in the transmit magnetic field (B1+) and reduces or eliminates signal dropout in the acquired images, while keeping the coil working in an optimal mode with a high transmit efficiency. The non-localized efficiency shimming can be used for both small and large fields-of-view where a specific ROI does not need to be specified. The static non-localized efficiency shim is advantageous for turbo spin echo (TSE) imaging of smaller anatomical targets, whereas the dynamic non-localized efficiency shim is advantageous for larger fields-of-view, such as in human torsos.

ABSTRACT Shear wave elastography and/or other ultrasound imaging procedures are performed using a data acquisition technique in which data are acquired with high SNR while maintaining a high PRFe, using conventional clinical ultrasound scanners. In general, ultrasound data are acquired using plane waves at different angles, after which a time alignment process is applied to the acquired data. The time alignment uses interpolation to obtain data points at higher frame rates, and the time-aligned data is compounded to increase the SNR.

ABSTRACT A device may obtain field images of a tissue sample, apply, to the field images, spatial distortion and illumination-based corrections (including corrections for photobleaching of reagents) to derive processed field images, identify, in each processed field image, a primary area including data useful for cell or subcellular component characterization, identify, in the processed field images, areas that overlap with one another, and derive information regarding a spatial mapping of cell(s) and/or sub-cellular components of the tissue sample. Deriving the information may include performing segmentation based on the data included in the primary area of each processed field image, and obtaining flux measurements based on other data included in the overlapping areas. The device may cause the information to be loaded in a data structure to enable statistical analysis of the spatial mapping for identifying factors defining normal tissue structure, associated inflammatory or neoplastic diseases and prognoses thereof, and associated therapeutics.

ABSTRACT To reduce the total amount of linear sequence (DNA, RNA or other medium) required to encode a set of genetic elements, the present disclosure describes a computational method for compressing genetic information by finding one or more sequences that each mutually encode multiple genetic elements in the same stretch of sequence (a “co-encoding”). The computational method encodes each of the genetic elements in respective directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) or finite automatons (FAs), then encodes overlapping sequences between the DAGs or FAs in a second DAG or FA. Additional DAGs or FAs may be encoded for overlapping sequences that result from shifting the reading frame of the genetic elements relative to one another and switching the orientation of the elements.

ABSTRACT A method of making colloidal crystals using seed programmable atom equivalents (PAEs) and growth programmable atom equivalents (PAEs) for at least two stage growth. The seed and growth PAEs each include nanoparticles functionalized with oligonucleotides with sticky ends. Seed PAEs have sticky ends adapted to hybridize to each other to form a first duplex, and growth PAEs have sticky ends adapted to hybridize to a respective ones of the seed PAEs and to each other to form second, third, and fourth duplexes. Using base mismatches in the sticky ends of the growth PAEs and a two stage cooling, the first duplex having a higher melting temperature than the other duplexes nucleate the seed PAEs as seeds in a first stage and remaining duplexes form in a second lower temperature stage for growth on the seeds.

ABSTRACT A method of spontaneously patterning a polymer during frontal polymerization includes activating an initiation region of a monomer solution to reaction to initiate a polymerization reaction. A polymerization front is generated and propagates through the monomer solution in a radial or longitudinal direction away from the initiation region. The monomer solution is spontaneously heated downstream of the polymerization front by thermal transport away from the polymerization reaction. Once a localized region of the monomer solution reaches a temperature sufficient for spontaneous initiation of another polymerization reaction, a new polymerization front is generated and propagates through the monomer solution in a circumferential or transverse direction. The spontaneous heating of the monomer solution downstream of the polymerization front and the initiation of another polymerization reaction occurs cyclically, producing multiple new polymerization fronts and spatial variations in reaction temperature across the monomer solution. Once polymerization is complete, a spontaneously patterned polymer is formed.

ABSTRACT A polymer brush composed of statistical copolymers of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers for enzyme immobilization. The heterogeneous polymer brushes stabilized four different lipases against high temperatures. Notably, the statistical copolymers stabilized the four lipases to a greater extent than a homopolymer brush. Additionally, in the case of Rhizomucor miehei lipase, statistical copolymers stabilized the enzyme to a greater extent than homopolymers of either hydrophilic or hydrophobic monomers. The resulting increase in high-temperature stability enabled significant improvements in catalytic rates by operating reactions at elevated temperatures, which is desirable for enzyme catalysis and sensing applications. Additionally, stabilization against elevated temperatures implies stabilization against non-aqueous solvents, which is of critical importance to numerous applications of biocatalysts.

ABSTRACT A space active optical cable (SAOC) includes a cable including one or more optical fibers, and two or more electrical transceivers on opposing ends of the cable and interconnected by the cable. Each of the electrical transceivers includes an enclosure that encloses one or more light sources, one or more light detectors, and control electronics. Also included in the enclosure are a coupling medium to couple light into and out of the one or more optical fibers. The coupling medium can be reflecting surface or an on-axis mount. The enclosure provides a suitable heat propagation and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and the cable and the two or more electrical transceivers are radiation resistant. SAOC features optionally support a health check algorithm that allows trending optical performance in the absence of an optical connector and a potential surface treatment to increase nominally low emissivity of an EMI conductive surface.

ABSTRACT A quantum computer-implemented system, method, and computer program product for quantum topological domain analysis (QTDA). The QTDA method achieves an improved exponential speedup and depth complexity of O(n log(1/(δ∈))) where n is the number of data points, ∈ is the error tolerance, δ is the smallest nonzero eigenvalue of the restricted Laplacian, and achieves quantum advantage on general classical data. The QTDA system and method efficiently realizes a combinatorial Laplacian as a sum of Pauli operators; performs a quantum rejection sampling and projection approach to build the relevant simplicial complex repeatedly and restrict the superposition to the simplices of a desired order in the complex; and estimates Betti numbers using a stochastic trace/rank estimation method that does not require Quantum Phase Estimation. The quantum circuit and QTDA method exhibits computational time and depth complexities for Betti number estimation up to an error tolerance ∈.

ABSTRACT An electrically conductive, flexible, strain resilient product is produced by mixing metal coated carbon nanotube networks with a liquid polymeric resin to produce a liquid mixture, and the mixture is cured to produce the product. The networks may include welded junctions between nanotubes formed by depositing and melting metal nanoparticles on the nanotubes to form the metal coating. After the mixing step the liquid mixture may be deposited on a flexible substrate in the form of an electrical circuit. The mixing step may further include mixing the composite with a volatile solvent to produce a selected viscosity. Then, a three-dimensional printer may be used to print the product, such as an electrical circuit, on a substrate. The product is cured in an atmosphere that absorbs the solvent. The conductivity of the mixture may be adjusted by adjusting the weight percentage of the metal coated carbon nanotube networks from 50% to 90%, but a preferred range is between 75% and 85%.

ABSTRACT A containment apparatus for collecting electrolyte from a battery relief vent is provided. The containment apparatus includes a body comprising a reservoir, a relief vent aperture, an internal baffle, and an upper vent aperture; a push-on connection that attaches the relief vent aperture to the battery relief vent; and a viewing window on an external side of the body. The containment apparatus attaches to a pressure relief vent on a battery to capture droplets of electrolyte that are released from the battery relief vent. Liquid electrolytes travel through the relief vent aperture and into the reservoir, and vaporized electrolyte condenses on the baffle and falls into the reservoir as droplets or travels past the baffle and is directed through the upper vent aperture via the walls. The device prevents electrolytes from accumulating on the outside of the battery and associated hardware within the vicinity of the battery.

ABSTRACT A homodyne encoder encodes light sampled from an object with respective primary apertures for each spectral band. The multi-band homodyne encoder includes an optical spreader and a focusing optic. The optical spreader spreads apart the light from the respective primary apertures for each spectral band to respective secondary apertures for each spectral band. The optical spreader is arranged to spread, for each spectral band, the light from each one of the primary apertures for the spectral band to a respective one of the secondary apertures for the spectral band. The focusing optic focuses the light from the secondary apertures for all of the spectral bands into one or more composite images of the object. For each spectral band, every pairing of two of the primary apertures for the spectral band contributes distinct spatial frequencies to the composite image or images of the object.

ABSTRACT Manufacturing technology to fabricate liquid metal-based soft and flexible electronics (sensors, antennas, etc.) in a high-throughput fashion, with fabrication rates that may approach that of the traditional integrated circuit components and circuits, are described. The technique allows creation of liquid-metal-only circuits, as well as seamless integration of solid IC chips into the circuits, in which liquid metal traces are used as flexible interconnects and/or as other circuit elements. The process may be applied at the wafer scale and may be integrated into the traditional microelectronics fabrication processes. Many sensors, antennas, and other circuit elements may be directly created using liquid metal, and when combined with the IC chips, a broad range of electronic functionality may be provided in a flexible, soft circuit that can be conformable, wearable.

ABSTRACT Metal organic frameworks are provided that exhibit a reversible phase change from a collapsed state to an expanded state. Due to this material property, these adsorbents exhibit stepped isotherms that have relevance in chemical storage and separations. The metal organic framework is M(LDP), where M is a metal selected from the group of Zn, Fe or Co and L is a ligand selected from the group of 1,4-benzenedipyrazolate (H2BDP), 2,5-pyridinedipyrazolate (H2PyDP), 2,5-pyrimidinedipyrazolate (H2PymDP), 2,5-pyrazinedipyrazolate (H2PyzDP), and 3,6-pyridazinedipyrazolate (H2PydDP). The step pressure position in the isotherm was changed by using nitrogen instead of carbon in the ring allowing for tunable aromatic interactions.

ABSTRACT A system for decoding an unknown automotive controller area network (“CAN”) message definitions. CAN data vehicle signal mappings are typically held in secret and varied by automotive model and year. Without knowledge of the mappings, the wealth of real-time vehicle data hidden in the automotive CAN packets is uninterpretable—impeding research, after-market tuning, efficiency and performance monitoring, fault diagnosis, and privacy-related technologies. This system can ascertain the CAN signals' boundaries (start bit and length), endianness (byte ordering), signedness (binary-to-integer encoding) from raw CAN data. This allows conversion of CAN data to time series. Interpreting the translated CAN data's physical meaning and finding a linear mapping to standard units (e.g., knowing the signal is speed and scaling values to represent units of miles per hour) can be achieved for many signals by leveraging diagnostic standards to obtain real-time measurements of in-vehicle systems. The system can be integrated into lightweight hardware enabling an OBD-II plugin for real-time in-vehicle CAN decoding or run on standard computers. The system can output a standard DBC file with the signal definition information.

ABSTRACT The present application is directed to novel discrete carbon nanotubes with a surface modification that disperses well in elastomers and crosslinks elastomers to the surface of the discrete carbon nanotubes, or in the vicinity of the discrete carbon nanotube surface. Significant improvements in the performance of elastomeric formulations with a plurality of discrete carbon nanotubes with a surface modification and silica and/or carbon black result, for example, improved abrasion resistance while at the same time providing a reduced hysteresis effect on cyclic deformation. These improved properties are highly desired for fuel efficient and longer wear life tire formulations.

ABSTRACT Muconic acid is a molecule that can be converted into direct replacement chemicals for incumbent petrochemicals and performance-advantaged bioproducts. Disclosed herein are Pseudomonas putida KT2440 that are engineered to convert glucose and xylose, the primary carbohydrates in lignocellulosic hydrolysates, to muconic acid using a model-guided strategy to maximize the theoretical yield. Using adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) and metabolic engineering in a strain engineered to express the D-xylose isomerase pathway, we demonstrated that mutations in the heterologous D-xylose:H+ symporter (XylE), increased expression of a major facilitator superfamily transporter (PP_2569), and overexpression of aroB encoding the native 3-dehydroquinate synthase, enable efficient muconic acid production from glucose and xylose simultaneously. Using the rationally engineered strain, we produced 33.7 g/L muconate at 0.18 g/L/h and a 46% molar yield (92% of the maximum theoretical yield).

ABSTRACT A computer system for real-time coordinated operation of power distribution systems and electric vehicles identifies a set of integrated hybrid resources (IHRs), wherein each IHR within the set of IHRs comprises one or more of: energy storage (ES) systems, solar generating units, electric vehicles (EVs), and/or inflexible loads. The computer system executes, at an IHR selected from the set of IHRs, a deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm, the DDPG algorithm utilizing a critic deep neural network and an actor deep neural network. The critic deep neural network estimates a Q-value of an action for a given state, and the actor deep neural network estimates a best action for the given state. Based upon an output of the DDPG algorithm, the computer system generates a charging schedule for the ES systems and the EVs within the IHR.

ABSTRACT Embodiments relate a super-heterojunction structure. A n-type modulation doping with barrier layer induces a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel and allows for vertically stacked channels without risk of reaching critical thickness limited by the strain in epitaxy. The n-type modulation doped layer is adjacent the at least one p-type layer to generate a charge balanced super-heterojunction region. A p-type ohmic contact ensures that the processes of depleting and accumulating of electrons and holes in the structure are fast enough for practical switching operation.

ABSTRACT A method of manufacturing a corrugated copper microwave waveguide comprising placing a mandrel with external corrugations in an electrolyte bath substantially devoid of brighteners, accelerators, or levelers and including copper ions, sulfuric acid, chloride, and polyethylene glycol. The mandrel is placed proximate a copper anode in the bath. One or more waveforms are applied to the mandrel and anode to control electrodeposition distribution of copper to the mandrel rather than controlling the electrolyte bath chemistry. The mandrel and the resulting electroformed waveguide are removed from the electrolyte bath and the mandrel is excised (e.g., dissolved) resulting in a microwave waveguide with internal corrugations. Substantially devoid of additives (brighteners, accelerators, and/or levelers) generally means not having to repeatedly meter in additives during the electroforming process.

ABSTRACT High(greater than 30%) and/or low(less than 10%) loaded multiple API powdered/nanoparticle were tabulated with increased flowability and physical properties. Properties include blend flowability and uniformity, bulk packing density, compactability, tensile strength, and dissolution. Blending is done through solventless dry mechanical coating of at least one minority API component defined as the API component with the least weight per volume surface coated with nano-sized powders in lesser amounts by wt % of the blend, and preferably less than 10% dry coated of the minority API. An excipient may be dry coated in the lesser amount wherein the excipient is a minority component. Both minority excipient and minority API may be dry coated. Using dry coating instead of dry granulation and/or wet granulation techniques in producing tablets saves manufacturing steps, costs, and produces higher quality tablets with surprisingly higher properties than expected for low flowability solid powdered ingredients.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for formation of highly reactive alkali dendrites are provided. For example, in some embodiments alkali metals are dissolved in ammonia to form metal electrides after which the ammonia is removed via vacuum to reveal highly activated metal surfaces in the form of crystalline alkali dendrites. The alkali dendrites can mimic powders but have the advantage of being freshly prepared from inexpensive and readily available metal sources. These uniquely activated metals exhibit enhanced reactivity comparatively to similar off the shelf sources of the corresponding metals. For example, the dendrites can have about 100 times greater surface area than conventional metal sources and/or be about 19 times more reactive than powders that serve as the industry standard for the preparation of organometallic compounds. After surface activation, these metals can be used to prepare various organometallic reagents.

ABSTRACT An acoustic device includes a three-dimensional phononic crystal having cubic symmetry. The phononic crystal includes a first region filled with a first material and a second region filled with a solid material that is different from the first material. The second region is the solid complement of the first region. A boundary between the first and second regions is shaped as a single gyroid surface that has constant mean curvature and is not pinched off. The volume of the second region is greater than or equal to that of the first region. The first material may be a gas, such as air, or a fluid. The phononic crystal supports topological surface states, has a band structure with at least one degenerate point protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry, and exhibits negative refraction where two of its external surfaces meet.

ABSTRACT A real-time reference free background oriented schlieren system is provided. One embodiment includes a display device capable of generating an image pattern projected onto a retroreflective background. A beam splitter is used to transmit a portion of the projected image pattern towards a reference image sensor and another portion of the image pattern towards the retroreflective background and past a density object. The retroreflective background reflects the projected pattern back through the beam splitter and onto a signal imaging sensor. Collected data from the reference image sensor and the signal image sensor may be processed in real-time. The image pattern may be altered as necessary without requiring a new reference image, reducing the amount of time required to set up and adjust the system. A display device may be capable of switching between a schlieren visualization capability to a shadowgraph system allowing for the use of two different imaging techniques.

ABSTRACT The drinking water-based avian coccidiosis vaccine formulation and delivery system is structured to deliver a vaccine containing live Eimeria oocysts to poultry house brood chamber chicks. The vaccine is delivered to the chicks in a diluted form through the poultry house drinking water system. The chicks are inoculated with the drinking water-based avian coccidiosis vaccine when they consume the water containing the vaccine. The timing of the chicks' drinking water access to the diluted drinking water vaccine is critical. During the inoculation process, water is temporarily withheld from the chicks for a waiting period of about 3-5 hours, and access to the diluted drinking water-based vaccine is limited to an accessibility period of about 2 hours. Additionally, metering valves and/or terminal metering valve assemblies are manually or automatically closed when the when the drinking water lines are fully charged with the diluted vaccine.

ABSTRACT A spatio-temporal profilometer performs time-resolved spatial profilometry and includes a substrate, a tapered optical collimator waveguide, a fluid channel, and a light-fluid interaction volume. The tapered optical collimator waveguide receives diverging light, internally reflects it, and collimates it. The fluid channel receives a fluid comprising microparticles and communicates the microparticles into the fluid channel. The light-fluid interaction volume is disposed in the fluid channel and provided by an overlap within the fluid channel of the collimated light from the tapered optical collimator waveguide and the fluid. The spatio-temporal profilometer produces product light from the collimated light in response to the microparticles interacting with the collimated light in the light-fluid interaction volume from which is determined a spatial and temporal profile of microparticles in the fluid channel.

ABSTRACT A system comprises a GNSS receiver that receives a GNSS signal and produces GNSS measurements; a plurality of inertial sensors that produce inertial data; and a navigation system comprising a Kalman filter and an inertial navigation unit. The Kalman filter receives the GNSS measurements and calculates pseudo-range residuals, delta-range residuals, pseudo-range chi square values, delta-range chi square values, accelerometer bias estimates, and gyroscope bias estimates. A spoof detection system communicates with the Kalman filter and comprises a set of detection monitors that determine an integrity of the GNSS measurements. The detection monitors detect if the pseudo-range residuals, the delta-range residuals, the pseudo-range chi-square values, the delta-range chi-square values, the accelerometer bias estimates, or the gyroscope bias estimates, go beyond a fail threshold indicating that the GNSS signal is abnormal. When one or more of the detection monitors indicates that the GNSS signal is abnormal, a spoof event alert is outputted.

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 25, 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

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.
