ABSTRACT Stress responses involve corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), the two cognate receptors (CRF1 and CRF2) and the CRF-binding protein (CRFBP). Utilizing a novel cell-based assay, a C-terminal CRFBP fragment [CRFBP(10 kD)] was found to potentiates CRF-intracellular Ca2+ release, demonstrating that CRFBP possesses excitatory roles in addition to the inhibitory role established by the N-terminal fragment of CRFBP [CRFBP(27 kD)]. This interaction was CRF2-specific, as CRF1 responses were not potentiated by CRFBP(10 kD). As there were currently no small molecule ligands available that selectively interact with either CRFBP or CRF2, a cell-based assay was miniaturized, wherein CRFBP(10 kD) was fused as a chimera with CRF, that allowed us to a perform a high-throughput screen (HTS) of approximately 350,000 small molecules. This resulted in the identification of negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) of the CRFBP(10 kD)-CRF2 complex that blunt CRF-induced potentiation of N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor (NMDAR)-mediated synaptic transmission in dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). These results provide the first evidence of specific roles for CRF2 and CRFBP in the modulation of neuronal activity and suggest that NMDARs in the VTA may be a target for the treatment of stress and substance abuse disorders such as alcohol use disorder.

ABSTRACT Prophylaxis and treatment of patients susceptible to infection by coronaviruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is achieved using compositions including one or more inhibitors including sulfated glycans and/or highly negative charged compounds. The inhibitors bind to wild-type and variant spike glycoproteins (S-proteins or SGPs) of SARS-CoV-2, inhibiting fusion, entry, and infection of a host cell. The inhibitors can include pentosan polysulfate (PPS), mucopolysaccharide polysulfate (MPS), sulfated lactobionic acid, sulodexide, a defibrotide, 4-t-butylcalix[X] arene-p-sulfonic acid, or combinations thereof. The presence of additional sulfo groups in PPS and MPS contribute to the improved inhibitory activity of compositions with those sulfated glycans against COVID-19 compared with compositions containing heparin alone. The compositions can be formulated for nasal delivery to a patient, enabling a simplified treatment regimen effective against an ever increasing number of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

ABSTRACT Described herein are liposome-based nanocarriers that selectively target bone marrow, minimize tumor delivery, and maintain high drug concentrations in bone marrow when compared to conventional systemic delivery. The composition of the liposome-based nanocarriers may also be tuned to selectively target lymph nodes and other reticuloendothelial system organs (e.g., spleen, e.g., livers. Also described herein are methods of imaging and mapping the bone marrow and/or other reticuloendothelial system organs using the described liposome-based nanocarriers. These methods provide high resolution non-invasive and quantitative imaging via PET, which offers advantages over conventional imaging/tracking methods. Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the liposome-based carriers are used to stabilize and deliver radioprotectant/free radical scavenger drugs to the bone marrow, thereby protecting the bone marrow from subsequent radiation exposure, thereby limiting the adverse impact of radiation exposure of the individual.

ABSTRACT Various devices, systems, and methods for performing personalized dosimetry of a patient receiving a radiopharmaceutical are described. In an example method, anatomic data is generated by performing a computed tomography (CT) scan on the patient when they are lying down and wearing a garment. Based on the anatomic data, locations of organs of the patient are determined with respect to one or more fiducial markers integrated with the garment. Detectors for detecting photons from a radiopharmaceutical are placed on the garment based on locations of the organs. Subsequently, the patient may be administered a dose of the radiopharmaceutical. When the patient wears the garment, the detectors may detect photons released from the decaying radiopharmaceutical that is distributed in the organs. The radiation dosage to the organs may be determined based on the detected photons.

ABSTRACT An apparatus is described for robotic control of an ultrasound imaging device. The apparatus comprises a fixed base and a movable platform with an end-effector. A plurality of passive soft links connects the platform to the base. A series of cables connect the platform to a set of motors adjacent the base. When the platform is at rest, the tension in the cables counter-balances the passive soft links pushing the platform away from the base plate. Control electronics move the motors so as to control the location and the orientation of the platform. By increasing or decreasing tension in the cables, the motors smoothly control the location and the orientation of the platform and thus the end effector. Such a robotic apparatus can be used to provide expert handling of an ultrasound imaging device remotely.

ABSTRACT Cranial placodes are embryonic structures essential for sensory and endocrine organ development. The efficient derivation of cranial placodes from human pluripotent stem cells is disclosed where the timed removal of the BMP inhibitor Noggin, a component of the dual-SMAD inhibition strategy of neural induction, triggers placode induction at the expense of CNS fates. Further fate specification at the pre-placode stage enables the selective generation of placode-derived trigeminal ganglia capable of in vivo engraftment, mature lens fibers and anterior pituitary hormone-producing cells that upon transplantation produce hormones including, but not limited to, human growth hormone and adrenocortiocotropic hormone in vivo. Alternatively, anterior pituitary hormone-producing cells are generated in cell culture systems in vitro.

ABSTRACT Genetic circuits that control transgene expression in response to pre-defined transcriptional cues would enable the development of smart therapeutics. The present disclosure relates to engineered programmable single-transcript RNA sensors in which adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) autocatalytically convert trigger hybridization into a translational output. This system amplifies the signal from editing by endogenous ADAR through a positive feedback loop. Amplification is mediated by the expression of a hyperactive, minimal ADAR variant and its recruitment to the edit site via an orthogonal RNA targeting mechanism. This topology confers high dynamic range, low background, minimal off-target effects, and a small genetic footprint. The circuits and systems disclosed herein leverage an ability to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms and modulate translation in response to endogenous transcript levels in mammalian cells.

ABSTRACT Methods and systems are provided for serial femtosecond crystallography for reducing the vast amount of waste of injected crystals practiced with traditional continuous flow injections. A micrometer-scale 3-D printed water-in-oil droplet generator device includes an oil phase inlet channel, an aqueous phase inlet channel, a droplet flow outlet channel, and two embedded non-contact electrodes. The inlet and outlet channels are connected internally at a junction. The electrodes comprise gallium metal injected within the 3-D printed device. Voltage across the electrodes generates water-in-oil droplets, determines a rate for a series of droplets, or triggers a phase shift in the droplets. An external trigger generates the droplets based on the frequency of an XFEL utilized in droplet detection, thereby synchronizing a series of droplets with x-ray pulses for efficient crystal detection. The generated droplets can be coupled to an SFX with XFEL experiment compatible with common liquid injector such as a GDVN.

ABSTRACT An in vitro release test (IVRT) method and system is provided for drug release testing. The IVRT method, referred to herein as adaptive perfusion, employ tangential-flow filtration (TFF), where released drug products that are smaller than a molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) of a membrane filter pass therethrough into the permeate. Unreleased drug products are retained by the pores of the filter and are recirculated to a retentate reservoir. Fresh media is provided to the retentate in order to maintain a constant total volume for the sample as well as to maintain sink conditions for the drug release. Drug concentration in the retentate and permeate are evaluated by in situ monitoring with one or more sensors and/or by periodic removal of aliquots from the respective reservoirs. In some embodiments, the membrane filter can be conditioned prior to use in order to improve the accuracy, precision, or both of the subsequent testing.

Measurement of a voltage drop across at least one FGF magnetoresistive device is correlated to either merely the presence of a magnetic field or for measurement of at least a scalar magnitude value of the magnetic field. The use of FGF affords both temperature-insensitivity and linear magnetic field responsivity.

ABSTRACT The invention pertains to methods for monitoring the operational status of a home automation system through extrinsic visual and audible means. Initial training periods involve capturing image and audio data representative of nominal operation, which is then processed to identify operational indicators. Unsupervised machine learning models are trained with these indicators to construct a model of normalcy and identify expectation violations in the system's operational pattern. After meeting specific stopping criteria, real-time monitoring is initiated. When an expectation violation is detected, contrastive collages or sequences are generated comprising nominal and anomalous data. These are then transmitted to an end user, effectively conveying the context of the detected anomalies. Further features include providing deep links to smartphone applications for home automation configuration and the use of auditory scene analysis techniques. The invention provides a multi-modal approach to home automation monitoring, leveraging machine learning for robust anomaly detection.

ABSTRACT Techniques are described herein for a messaging system to allow publishers that are aware of the identities of their respective subscribers to target content at those subscribers directly. This may be accomplished by allowing users and other targets (e.g., groups) to register their identities at particular computing nodes of a system. Then publishers (e.g., applications) may send out messages targeted at particular identities, and a publishing system may forward messages to appropriate nodes based on which identities are registered at those nodes. Legacy applications that are not able to target particular identities may instead connect to application adapters that are configured to learn which identities should be targeted by each application. In addition, anonymized identities may be used for application messages that need to cross between domains having differing security levels.

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

The laser source is capable of emitting a laser beam along an axis with sufficient power to produce a laser induced plasma in an atmosphere along the axis of the laser beam. The antenna feed extends along the axis for coupling between a radiofrequency signal and the laser induced plasma. The antenna feed extended with the laser induced plasma has an enhanced radiation efficiency for the radiofrequency signal that is greater than the antenna feed that is not extended and has a stub radiation efficiency for the radiofrequency signal when the laser source is deactivated and does not emit the laser beam.

ABSTRACT A system and method are provided wherein encrypted data is stored in modular lockers on a first storage volume associated with a high-power microprocessor deployed in a system. Each encrypted locker maps, for example, to a specific time segment (e.g., one day) which simplifies mounting of the encrypted volume for data access and reduces the locker size for external access of data while encrypted (e.g., via Wifi). New data in a second storage volume associated with and generated by a low-power microprocessor associated with the system gets transferred to the encrypted data store during wake cycles of the high-power microprocessor. To manage space on the first storage volume, time stamps associated with each encrypted locker allows simple removal of files older than a specified time period by removing of any encrypted lockers older than that threshold.

ABSTRACT A system and method provide a combination of a modular message structure, a priority-based message packing scheme, and a data packet queue management system to optimize the information content of a transmitted message in, for example, the Ocean of Things (OoT) environment. The modular message structure starts with a header that provides critical information and reference points for time and location. The rest of the message is composed of modular data packets, each of which has a data ID section that the message decoder uses for reference when reconstructing the message contents, an optional size section that specifies the length of the following data section if it can contain data of variable length, and a data section that can be compressed in a manner unique to that data type. The message packing scheme uses a combination of priority level and minimum reporting interval, both of which are dynamically configurable for each data packet type, to maximize the value of the information contained in the modular data packets included in each message. Finally, the data packet queues manage temporary storage of data packets that have been generated but not yet included in an outgoing message.

ABSTRACT Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, memory devices, and machine-readable mediums that allow a memory device to efficiently mark memory extents involved in an enhanced memory operation. An extent is marked if a meta state associated with the extent indicates that the extent is included in the enhanced memory operation. The largest memory extents of the operation are maintained in the memory device as a list of unmarked extents. When a primitive memory operation is received, the memory address is compared to the unmarked extents in the list to the meta state for that memory line. If the address is covered by the list of extents, or that line's meta state is marked, then the memory operation is performed including the enhanced memory operation.

ABSTRACT A system includes a host device having a first buffer with ordered data. An accelerator device has a data movement processor and a reordering buffer. A multiple-channel interface couples the host device and the data movement processor of the accelerator device. The data movement processor is configured to issue a read command for a portion of the ordered data. In coordination with issuing the read command, an entry of the reordering buffer is allocated. A transaction identifier for the read command is allocated. Unordered responses are received from the host device via the multiple-channel interface. The responses include respective portions of the ordered data and a respective transaction identifier. The responses are reordered in the reordering buffer based on the respective transaction identifiers and the allocated entry of the reordering buffer.

ABSTRACT System and techniques for host-preferred memory operation are described herein. At a memory-side cache of a memory device that includes accelerator hardware, a first memory operation can be received from a host. A determination that the first memory operation corresponds to a cache set based on an address of the first memory operation is made. A second memory operation can be received from the accelerator hardware. Another determination can be made that the second memory operation corresponds to the cache set. Here, the first memory operation can be enqueued in a host queue of the cache set and the second memory operation can be enqueued in an internal request queue of the cache set. The first memory operation and the second memory operation can be executed as each is dequeued.

ABSTRACT Systems and techniques for a memory-side cache directory-based request queue are described herein. A memory request is received at an interface of a memory device. One or more fields of the memory request are written into an entry of a directory data structure. The identifier of the entry is pushed onto a queue. To perform the memory request, the identifier is popped off of the queue and a field of the memory request is retrieved from the entry of the directory data structure using the identifier. Then, a process on the memory request can be performed using the field retrieved from the entry of the directory data structure.

ABSTRACT Host and accelerator devices can be coupled using various interfaces, such as Compute Express Link (CXL). In an example, user applications can have protected access to a shared set of control parameters for different queues. A protocol can allow an application to use a unique memory page at the accelerator device through which the application can access control parameters, such as can be used to control memory-based communication queues or other queues. In an example, there can be multiple sets of control parameters in a single memory page. The protocol can allow views of the single memory page from respective different application processes. In an example, the protocol can include or use an access check to detect and handle unauthorized accesses to particular parameters.

ABSTRACT System and techniques for variable execution time atomic operations are described herein. When an atomic operation for a memory device is received, the run length of the operation is measured. If the run length is beyond a threshold, a cache line for the operation is locked while the operation runs. A result of the operation is queued until it can be written to the cache line. At that point, the cache line is unlocked.

ABSTRACT System and techniques for memory side cache request handling are described herein. When a memory request is received, a cache set for the memory request is determined. Here, the cache set has multiple ways and each way corresponds to a cache line. It can be detected that a way of the multiple ways is not ready for the memory request. In this case, a representation of the memory request is stored in a queue of multiple queues based on an interface upon which the memory request was received and the present ways of the cache set. Entries from the multiple queues can be dequeued in a defined order to determine a next memory request to process. The defined order gives priority to memory requests for a present way and then for external over internal requests.

ABSTRACT System and techniques for recall pending cache line eviction are described herein. A queue that includes a deferred memory request is kept for a cache line. Metadata for the queue is stored in a cache line tag. When a recall is needed, the metadata is written from the tag to a first recall storage, referenced by a memory request ID. After the recall request is transmitted, the memory request ID is written to a second recall storage referenced by the message ID of the recall request. Upon receipt of a response to the recall request, the queue for the cache line can be restored by using the message ID in the response to lookup the memory request ID from the second recall storage, then using the memory request ID to lookup the metadata from the first recall storage, and then writing the metadata into the tag for the cache line.

ABSTRACT System and techniques for evicting a cache line with pending control request are described herein. A memory request—that includes an address corresponding to a set of cache lines—can be received. A determination can be made that a cache line of the set of cache lines will be evicted to process the memory request. Another determination can be made that a control request has been made to a host from the memory device and that the control request pending when it is determined that the cache line will be evicted. Here, a counter corresponding to the set of cache lines can be incremented (e.g., by one) to track the pending control request in face of eviction. Then, the cache line can be evicted.

ABSTRACT System and techniques for silent cache line eviction are described herein. A memory device receives a memory operation from a host. The memory operation establishes data and metadata in a cache line of the memory device upon receipt. The metadata is stored in a memory element that corresponds to the cache line. Later, an eviction trigger to evict the cache line is identified. Then, in response to the eviction trigger, current metadata of the cache line is compared with the metadata in the memory element to determine whether the metadata has changed. the cache line can be evicted without writing to backing memory in response to the metadata being unchanged.

ABSTRACT Custom-form batteries can supply complex, practical systems with an optimal energy density that wouldn't otherwise be possible using traditional battery form-factors. For example, iron disulfide (FeS2) is a prominent conversion cathode of commercial interest. 3D direct-ink write (DIW) printing of FeS2 inks can be used to produce ridged cathodes from the filamentary extrusion of highly concentrated FeS2 inks (60-70% solids). These ridged cathodes exhibit optimal power, uniformity, and stability when cycled at higher rates (in excess of C/10). Meanwhile, functional cells with custom-form wave-shaped electrodes (e.g., printed FeS2 cathodes and pressed lithium anodes) exhibit improved performance over similar cells in planar configurations. In general, the DIW of concentrated inks is a viable path toward the making of custom-form conversion lithium batteries. More broadly, ridging is found to optimize rate capability.

ABSTRACT Prophylaxis and treatment of patients susceptible to infection by coronaviruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is achieved using compositions including one or more inhibitors including sulfated glycans and/or highly negative charged compounds. The inhibitors bind to wild-type and variant spike glycoproteins (S-proteins or SGPs) of SARS-CoV-2, inhibiting fusion, entry, and infection of a host cell. The inhibitors can include pentosan polysulfate (PPS), mucopolysaccharide polysulfate (MPS), sulfated lactobionic acid, sulodexide, a defibrotide, 4-t-butylcalix[X] arene-p-sulfonic acid, or combinations thereof. The presence of additional sulfo groups in PPS and MPS contribute to the improved inhibitory activity of compositions with those sulfated glycans against COVID-19 compared with compositions containing heparin alone. The compositions can be formulated for nasal delivery to a patient, enabling a simplified treatment regimen effective against an ever increasing number of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.

Edge weights represent costs, such as travel times and energy consumptions for travel along edges of the graph. Significantly, edge weights are represented as probability distributions. The routing method partitions the edges into multiple tiers, for which convolutions of probability distributions can and cannot be feasibly replaced with functional approximations. A Dijkstra search of the graph from a vehicle origin to a vehicle destination computes, for vertices along a path, convolutions of distributions and sums of functional approximations.

ABSTRACT Methods and systems are provided for serial femtosecond crystallography for reducing the vast amount of waste of injected crystals practiced with traditional continuous flow injections. A micrometer-scale 3-D printed water-in-oil droplet generator device includes an oil phase inlet channel, an aqueous phase inlet channel, a droplet flow outlet channel, and two embedded non-contact electrodes. The inlet and outlet channels are connected internally at a junction. The electrodes comprise gallium metal injected within the 3-D printed device. Voltage across the electrodes generates water-in-oil droplets, determines a rate for a series of droplets, or triggers a phase shift in the droplets. An external trigger generates the droplets based on the frequency of an XFEL utilized in droplet detection, thereby synchronizing a series of droplets with x-ray pulses for efficient crystal detection. The generated droplets can be coupled to an SFX with XFEL experiment compatible with common liquid injector such as a GDVN.

ABSTRACT The invention pertains to methods for monitoring the operational status of a home automation system through extrinsic visual and audible means. Initial training periods involve capturing image and audio data representative of nominal operation, which is then processed to identify operational indicators. Unsupervised machine learning models are trained with these indicators to construct a model of normalcy and identify expectation violations in the system's operational pattern. After meeting specific stopping criteria, real-time monitoring is initiated. When an expectation violation is detected, contrastive collages or sequences are generated comprising nominal and anomalous data. These are then transmitted to an end user, effectively conveying the context of the detected anomalies. Further features include providing deep links to smartphone applications for home automation configuration and the use of auditory scene analysis techniques. The invention provides a multi-modal approach to home automation monitoring, leveraging machine learning for robust anomaly detection.

ABSTRACT A system and method are provided wherein encrypted data is stored in modular lockers on a first storage volume associated with a high-power microprocessor deployed in a system. Each encrypted locker maps, for example, to a specific time segment (e.g., one day) which simplifies mounting of the encrypted volume for data access and reduces the locker size for external access of data while encrypted (e.g., via Wifi). New data in a second storage volume associated with and generated by a low-power microprocessor associated with the system gets transferred to the encrypted data store during wake cycles of the high-power microprocessor. To manage space on the first storage volume, time stamps associated with each encrypted locker allows simple removal of files older than a specified time period by removing of any encrypted lockers older than that threshold.

ABSTRACT A system and method provide a combination of a modular message structure, a priority-based message packing scheme, and a data packet queue management system to optimize the information content of a transmitted message in, for example, the Ocean of Things (OoT) environment. The modular message structure starts with a header that provides critical information and reference points for time and location. The rest of the message is composed of modular data packets, each of which has a data ID section that the message decoder uses for reference when reconstructing the message contents, an optional size section that specifies the length of the following data section if it can contain data of variable length, and a data section that can be compressed in a manner unique to that data type. The message packing scheme uses a combination of priority level and minimum reporting interval, both of which are dynamically configurable for each data packet type, to maximize the value of the information contained in the modular data packets included in each message. Finally, the data packet queues manage temporary storage of data packets that have been generated but not yet included in an outgoing message.

ABSTRACT Described herein are highly thermally conductive hybrid carbon fiber composites. The composites are composed of one or more alternating layers of (a) a pyrolytic graphite sheet and (b) carbon fibers impregnated with a resin. The thermal conductivity of the composites is substantially higher when compared independently to the pyrolytic graphite sheet and carbon fibers. In addition to increased thermal conductivity, the composites possess other desirable properties such as increased thermal emissivity and solar absorptivity. The enhanced properties of the composites make them suitable for use in a number of different applications where heat flow is desirable.

ABSTRACT This invention is a methodology, called CFD-based AIC generator, that can generate CFD-based structurally-independent Aerodynamic Influence Coefficient (AIC) matrices. Because the AIC matrices are independent of structure, they can be repeatedly used during the flight vehicle's structural design cycle for a fixed aerodynamic configuration to rapidly generate flutter, aeroservoelastic (ASE), and dynamic loads solutions. Inputs to processing include a CFD surface mesh, a coarsening ratio criterion, and a mid-layer panel model. The coarsening ratio criterion is computed from the CFD mesh. The mid-layer panel model is comprised of coarsened grid points derived from the CFD mesh and the coarsening ratio criterion.

ABSTRACT Provided herein are shaped-charges for focusing a filler, such as a fluid mass, and related methods of using the shaped-charges for disruption of an explosive target. The shaped-charge comprises an attenuating body positioned and configured to attenuate rarefaction waves to increase filler, including a fluid mass, explosively driven out of the container toward a target while also maintaining and enhancing fluid jet integrity. To further control impact and impulse forces on a target, additional layers may be used, including a foam layer and a jet-clipping layer positioned between the shaped-charge and the target surface. Also provided are propellant driven liquid disrupters having special attenuating bodies to improve liquid jet column characteristics.

ABSTRACT An apparatus includes a first communication device with multiple antennas, operably coupled to a processor and configured to access a codebook of transformation matrices. The processor generates a set of symbols based on an incoming data, and applies a permutation to each of the symbols to produce a set of permuted symbols. The processor transforms each of the permuted symbols based on at least one primitive transformation matrix, to produce a set of transformed symbols. The processor applies, to each of the transformed symbols, a precode matrix selected from the codebook of transformation matrices to produce a set of precoded symbols. The codebook of transformation matrices is accessible to a second communication device. The processor sends a signal to cause transmission, to the second communication device, of multiple signals, each representing a precoded symbol from the set of precoded symbols, each of the signals transmitted using a unique antenna from the plurality of antennas.

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, February 29, 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.
