ABSTRACT A device and method for directing a cannula toward a target location under a patient's skin. The device is handheld and the device operations may be automated. The device includes an imaging probe for imaging the target location, a positioning unit for manipulating a cannula towards the target location, and a processor. The processor receives imaging data from the imaging probe, cannula pose data from at least one cannula position sensor, and device pose data from at least one device position sensor. The target location is identified from the imaging data, and a trajectory for manipulating the cannula towards the target location is determined based on the imaging data, the cannula pose data, and the device pose data. The processor may determine that the trajectory becomes misaligned with the target position, and may update to a corrected trajectory based on the imaging data, cannula pose data, and device pose data.

ABSTRACT Described herein are virus-like particles (VLPs) and minimal human-derived virus-like particles (mhVLPs), comprising a membrane comprising a phospholipid bilayer with one or more human-derived envelope glycoproteins (env) on the external side. Optionally, a biomolecule cargo is disposed in the core of the VLP or mhVLP on the inside of the membrane. Preferably, the mhVLPs do not comprise any exogenous virally derived proteins, e.g., proteins from viral gag, pro, or pol, or other viral proteins that reside inside of enveloped particles (unless the cargo comprises the viral protein(s)). In some embodiments, the mhVLPs do not comprise any human endogenous retroviral (HERV) proteins other than the env (hENV), e.g., do not comprise gag, pol, or pro that was exogenously introduced into producer cells. In some embodiments, the VLPs include a targeting domain, either fused at the N or C terminus or internally into the hENV, or as a separate membrane-anchored targeting domain. Also described are methods of use of the VLPs or mhVLPs for delivery of the biomolecule cargo to cells.

ABSTRACT Disclosed herein are methods and dose metrics for evaluating the performance and/or quality of a radiotherapy treatment plan and/or radiotherapy system. Dose metrics may be used in a quality assurance (QA) procedure to evaluate (e.g., test, confirm, validate, etc.) the quality of a treatment plan and/or radiotherapy system before radiation is delivered to a patient. One example of a dose metric is a coverage margin metric. The coverage margin metric may provide a way to quantify how tumor motion affects dose coverage and facilitate the determination of whether the tumor contour defined in the treatment plan has a margin that is sufficient to compensate for tumor motion and/or positional changes during radiation therapy.

ABSTRACT A FabI inhibitor called fabimycin that has impressive activity against >200 clinical isolates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and A. baumannii. Fabimycin has activity in multiple mouse models of infection caused by Gram-negative bacteria, including a model of urinary tract infection. Fabimycin has translational promise, and its discovery provides data indicating that antibiotics whose spectrum of activity is restricted to Gram-positive bacteria can be systematically modified to accumulate in Gram-negative bacteria and be effective against these problematic pathogens.

ABSTRACT As disclosed herein, (1) PD-1H is significantly up-regulated in human AML BM while PD-L1 expression is relatively low; (2) PD-1H is highly expressed on human AML blasts but not on normal CD34+ progenitors; (3) PD-1H expressed on AML blasts contributes to the induction of immune evasion in murine AML models; (4) genetic ablation or antibody blockade of PD-1H reverses immune evasion, leading to anti-leukemia effects in murine AML models and humanized AML models; (5) the effect of anti-PD-1H mAb could be maximized by blocking the PD pathway in murine AML models and humanized AML models. Therefore, disclosed herein is a method for treating a leukemia in a subject that involves co-administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a checkpoint inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that specifically binds PD-1H.

ABSTRACT The present invention is directed to methods and compositions capable of blocking the inhibitory effect of a newly-identified intronic inhibitory sequence element, named ISS-N1 (for “intronic splicing silencer”), located in the SMN2 gene. The compositions and methods of the instant invention include oligonucleotide reagents (e.g., oligoribonucleotides) that effectively target the SMN2 ISS-N1 site in the SMN2 pre-mRNA, thereby modulating the splicing of SMN2 pre-mRNA to include exon 7 in the processed transcript. The ISS-N1 blocking agents of the invention cause elevated expression of SMN protein, thus compensating for the loss of SMN protein expression commonly observed in subjects with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

ABSTRACT Described herein are programmable tropism virus-like particles (ptVLPs), comprising a membrane comprising a phospholipid bilayer with one or more wild-type or mutant/truncated virus-derived glycoproteins on the external side. The virus-derived envelope glycoprotein(s) can optionally be fused directly to a targeting domain (e.g., peptide, single chain variable fragment (scFv), nanobody, fibronectin type 3 domain (FN3), arginylglycylaspartic acid motif (RGD), single variable domain on a heavy chain/nanobody (VHH), variable domain of new antigen receptor (VNAR), darpin, or other targeting ligand), and/or can be present in combination with a membrane-anchored targeting domain. A biomolecule cargo (preferably fused to a membrane recruitment domain, such as a Pleckstrin homology domain) can be disposed in the core of the ptVLP. Preferably, the ptVLP does not comprise a protein from any human endogenous or exogenous viral gag, pro, pol, or other viral proteins that reside inside of enveloped particles.

ABSTRACT The present invention provides for novel methods for regulating and detecting the cytosine methylation status of DNA. The invention is based upon identification of a novel and surprising catalytic activity for the family of TET proteins, namely TET1, TET2, TET3, and CXXC4. The novel activity is related to the enzymes being capable of converting the cytosine nucleotide 5-methylcytosine into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by hydroxylation.

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

ABSTRACT A position sensor with six degrees of freedom (DoF) measurement capability may be used for position sensing of the rotor in a bearingless slice motor to enable active control. The sensor is designed to fit entirely under the rotor and operates by accessing the rotor bottom surface only, enabling packaging of the pump on the top of the rotor. The sensor has two parts; both operate using eddy currents. One of these parts measures the two radial DoF of the rotor. The other part measures the axial, angular rotation and tip/tilt DoF. The sensor utilizes a conductive target fixed to the underside of the rotor. The design and fabrication of the sensor along with the signal processing methods are described.

ABSTRACT An apparatus and method for a pre-trained brain machine interface based on brain state data is disclosed. An initial session of determining brain state data during performance of a task by a subject at a first time is conducted. The brain state data correlated with task performance are recorded. A pre-training set of the brain state data is assembled. A decoder module of the brain machine interface system is pre-trained via the pre-training set of the recorded brain state data to decode intentions of the subject correlated with brain state. A current session is conducted at a second time subsequent to the first time. The current session includes the decoder module accepting a brain state data input of the brain of the subject, decoding a brain state output from the brain state data input, and generating a control signal to perform the task based on the determined brain state output.

ABSTRACT A process for selecting an additive and/or solvent for a colloidal ceramic suspension includes measuring spin lattice T1 relaxation times by nuclear magnetic resonance for a ceramic-solvent pair and an additive-solvent pair, wherein the solvent is selected from a plurality of different solvents, and wherein the additive is selected from a plurality of different additives. The process includes determining a relaxation number for each of the ceramic-solvent pairs and the additive-solvent pairs from the spin lattice T1 relaxation times, wherein a higher relaxation number is indicative of strong affinity between the additive and solvent and between the ceramic and solvent. Additionally, the process includes selecting the additive and the solvent based on the relaxation number having the highest relaxation number for the colloidal ceramic suspension.

ABSTRACT Address translation is performed to translate a virtual address targeted by a memory request (e.g., a load or memory request for data or an instruction) to a physical address. This translation is performed using an address translation buffer, e.g., a translation lookaside buffer (TLB). One or more actions are taken to reduce data access latencies for memory requests in the event of a TLB miss where the virtual address to physical address translation is not in the TLB. Examples of actions that are performed in various implementations in response to a TLB miss include bypassing level 1 (L1) and level 2 (L2) caches in the memory system, and speculatively sending the memory request to the L2 cache while checking whether the memory request is satisfied by the L1 cache.

ABSTRACT A principle which enables the generation of macroscopic Fock and sub-Poissonian states is disclosed. Generic components of the system include: an electromagnetic structure (possessing one or more electromagnetic resonances), a nonlinear electromagnetic element (such as a nonlinear crystal near or inside the structure), and a source of light. In one embodiment, stimulated gain is used to create large numbers of photons in a cavity, but with very low photon number noise (uncertainty) in the cavity, and thus acts as a Fock laser. This Fock laser is capable of producing these states due to a very sharp intensity-dependent gain (or loss) that selects a particular photon number. The disclosed system and method are robust against both atomic and optical decoherence. Various examples of the new Fock laser design are also described.

ABSTRACT A hybrid active controller for practically asymptotically stabilizing the DC-DC boost converter under parameter uncertainty. The controller uses an estimation algorithm that identifies the input voltage and output load of the converter in finite time. Using these estimates, the control algorithm “unites” global and local control schemes. The global control scheme induces practical asymptotic stability of a desired output voltage and corresponding current, and the local control scheme maintains industry-standard PWM behavior during steady state. Stability properties for the resulting hybrid closed-loop system are established and simulation results illustrating the main results are provided.

ABSTRACT A subharmonic switching power amplifier architecture includes a power amplifier core that includes at least one power amplifier that receives an input signal and is operable in a power back-off region. Characteristically, the at least one power amplifier is configured to be toggled at a carrier frequency (Fc) when the power level of the input signal is equal to or higher than a predetermined power level and at a subharmonic component of the carrier frequency when the power level of the input signal is less than the predetermined power level. Concurrent harmonic tuning and subharmonic tuning is implemented to enhance the efficiency at both peak power mode and power back-off mode. Characteristically, the power amplifier being configured to be operated by a voltage mode or current mode driver and in the current mode with zero-voltage-switching.

ABSTRACT A device and method for directing a cannula toward a target location under a patient's skin. The device is handheld and the device operations may be automated. The device includes an imaging probe for imaging the target location, a positioning unit for manipulating a cannula towards the target location, and a processor. The processor receives imaging data from the imaging probe, cannula pose data from at least one cannula position sensor, and device pose data from at least one device position sensor. The target location is identified from the imaging data, and a trajectory for manipulating the cannula towards the target location is determined based on the imaging data, the cannula pose data, and the device pose data. The processor may determine that the trajectory becomes misaligned with the target position, and may update to a corrected trajectory based on the imaging data, cannula pose data, and device pose data.

ABSTRACT In one aspect, methods of depolymerization are described herein comprising providing a synthetic polymer including a hydroxylated aliphatic backbone or hydroxylated backbone segments, and homolytically activing O—H bonds of the hydroxyl groups. Homolytic activation induces the formation of alkoxy radical intermediates followed by C—C bond β-scission events breaking the polymer backbone into depolymerization products. In some embodiments, depolymerization products comprise alkyl radical intermediates reduced by hydrogen atom transfer. Moreover, in some embodiments, the depolymerization products are further reacted into difunctionalized products or comprise functionalities derived from the polymer structure. The difunctionalized products can subsequently be employed in polymerization processes for the production of additional synthetic polymers.

ABSTRACT A method for machine learning enabled material design may include applying a first machine learning model trained to generate an equilibrium crystal structure corresponding a crystal structure generated, for example, by performing an elemental substation. The first machine learning model may generate the equilibrium crystal structure by iteratively searching a solution space including possible variations of the crystal structure for a variation having a minimum formation energy. The searching may be constrained to variations having a same symmetry as the crystal structure. Properties of the crystal structure may be determined, for example, by applying a second machine learning to the equilibrium crystal structure. The crystal structure may be identified as a candidate for synthesis based the properties of the crystal structure, such as an above-threshold elastic modulus corresponding to an ultra-incompressibility. Various materials identified using this method and related systems and computer program products are also provided.

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

ABSTRACT A hybrid active controller for practically asymptotically stabilizing the DC-DC boost converter under parameter uncertainty. The controller uses an estimation algorithm that identifies the input voltage and output load of the converter in finite time. Using these estimates, the control algorithm “unites” global and local control schemes. The global control scheme induces practical asymptotic stability of a desired output voltage and corresponding current, and the local control scheme maintains industry-standard PWM behavior during steady state. Stability properties for the resulting hybrid closed-loop system are established and simulation results illustrating the main results are provided.

ABSTRACT In one aspect, methods of depolymerization are described herein comprising providing a synthetic polymer including a hydroxylated aliphatic backbone or hydroxylated backbone segments, and homolytically activing O—H bonds of the hydroxyl groups. Homolytic activation induces the formation of alkoxy radical intermediates followed by C—C bond β-scission events breaking the polymer backbone into depolymerization products. In some embodiments, depolymerization products comprise alkyl radical intermediates reduced by hydrogen atom transfer. Moreover, in some embodiments, the depolymerization products are further reacted into difunctionalized products or comprise functionalities derived from the polymer structure. The difunctionalized products can subsequently be employed in polymerization processes for the production of additional synthetic polymers.

ABSTRACT A design for wind turbine rotor blades, aircraft wings, and/or other aerodynamic applications which may reduce the vorticity downstream and thus improve lift is described. The blade designs may include an increase in the blade chord towards the tip of the blade, a change in the twist angle at least once along the length of the blade, and/or a change in the thickness of the blade at least once along the length of the blade. These changes individually or in combination may allow for the creation of a counter-rotating vortex behind the blade, increasing power generation and/or lift.

ABSTRACT A harmonic drive assembly and fluid-powered linear motors with both axial pistons are rotary piston arrangements incorporating the harmonic drive assembly are disclosed. The motors may be used in downhole drilling applications, but the drive assembly and/or motors may be used in other applications. The assembly, motors and methods use advanced harmonic drives, advanced helical drives, and combinations thereof with 1) motors with axial pistons and reciprocating linear rings to convert reciprocative axial motion to continuous rotary motion, and 2) motors with rotary pistons and reciprocating linear rings to rectify reciprocative rotary motion to continual rotary motion to improve performance over prior configurations. Axial pistons provide a robust simple solution for generating rotation; Rotational pistons provide increased torque generation as the torque generated is proportional to motor length. Since downhole drills are long, a high-torque motor can be produced using this method.

ABSTRACT An event-driven readout management system includes non-priority access arbitration of a plurality of channels. The system includes an arbitration tree circuit, response circuit, in-channel logic circuit, and output periphery circuit. The arbitration tree circuit determines to which of the plurality of channels to grant access to a common signal transfer resource shared by the plurality of channels based on a readout access request provided by at least one of the plurality of channels. The arbitration tree circuit terminates a prior readout transaction and commences a subsequent readout transaction in response to a single edge of a clock signal. The in-channel logic circuit terminates the prior readout transaction and commences the subsequent readout transaction in response to receiving an acknowledge token. The output periphery circuit converts information received from the plurality of channels into an output format on the common signal transfer resource.

ABSTRACT A method for machine learning enabled material design may include applying a first machine learning model trained to generate an equilibrium crystal structure corresponding a crystal structure generated, for example, by performing an elemental substation. The first machine learning model may generate the equilibrium crystal structure by iteratively searching a solution space including possible variations of the crystal structure for a variation having a minimum formation energy. The searching may be constrained to variations having a same symmetry as the crystal structure. Properties of the crystal structure may be determined, for example, by applying a second machine learning to the equilibrium crystal structure. The crystal structure may be identified as a candidate for synthesis based the properties of the crystal structure, such as an above-threshold elastic modulus corresponding to an ultra-incompressibility. Various materials identified using this method and related systems and computer program products are also provided.

ABSTRACT This present disclosure is about a wind tunnel balance axial section. A wind tunnel balance is a sensor that measures six force/moment components from a test model in a wind tunnel. An axial section, one of the six measurement sections in the balance, is the hardest section to design because it is often required to measure an axial force which is much smaller than other force components. Therefore, there is a specific design requirement for the axial section to selectively amplify the axial force response and suppress the non-axial responses. This disclosure presents a sensor mechanism composed of elastic linkages to achieve this design requirements for the axial section.

ABSTRACT An event-driven readout management system includes non-priority access arbitration of a plurality of channels. The system includes an arbitration tree circuit, response circuit, in-channel logic circuit, and output periphery circuit. The arbitration tree circuit determines to which of the plurality of channels to grant access to a common signal transfer resource shared by the plurality of channels based on a readout access request provided by at least one of the plurality of channels. The arbitration tree circuit terminates a prior readout transaction and commences a subsequent readout transaction in response to a single edge of a clock signal. The in-channel logic circuit terminates the prior readout transaction and commences the subsequent readout transaction in response to receiving an acknowledge token. The output periphery circuit converts information received from the plurality of channels into an output format on the common signal transfer resource.

ABSTRACT A system and method for disconnection tolerant network routing, termed Binary State Distance Vector Routing (BSDVR). BSDVR provides for unicast routing on partitioned networks by introducing binary state information for distance vector (DV) entries to compute unicast paths. In the presence of network partitions, BSDVR effectively avoids the count-to-infinity problem and operates with control overhead less than traditional DV routing by an order of magnitude, leading to much better convergence times for failures.

ABSTRACT A device and method for directing a cannula toward a target location under a patient's skin. The device is handheld and the device operations may be automated. The device includes an imaging probe for imaging the target location, a positioning unit for manipulating a cannula towards the target location, and a processor. The processor receives imaging data from the imaging probe, cannula pose data from at least one cannula position sensor, and device pose data from at least one device position sensor. The target location is identified from the imaging data, and a trajectory for manipulating the cannula towards the target location is determined based on the imaging data, the cannula pose data, and the device pose data. The processor may determine that the trajectory becomes misaligned with the target position, and may update to a corrected trajectory based on the imaging data, cannula pose data, and device pose data.

ABSTRACT This invention is at least one panel of qPCR/RT-qPCR assays which enables simultaneous testing for the presence of multiple species and subgroups of cyanobacteria that produce microcystin, anatoxin, saxitoxin, and cylindrospermopsin cyanotoxins. The method takes into account that some cyanobacteria species may carry genes associated with multiple toxin types. Testing for each toxin type is conducted under standardized test conditions which allow quantification of the number of gene copies present for cyanotoxins which may contribute to the overall toxin level.

ABSTRACT Address translation is performed to translate a virtual address targeted by a memory request (e.g., a load or memory request for data or an instruction) to a physical address. This translation is performed using an address translation buffer, e.g., a translation lookaside buffer (TLB). One or more actions are taken to reduce data access latencies for memory requests in the event of a TLB miss where the virtual address to physical address translation is not in the TLB. Examples of actions that are performed in various implementations in response to a TLB miss include bypassing level 1 (L1) and level 2 (L2) caches in the memory system, and speculatively sending the memory request to the L2 cache while checking whether the memory request is satisfied by the L1 cache.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure relates to a low temperature, semi-continuous process for producing high purity rare earth metals and alloys in molten salts. Rare earth metals and alloys are reduced from the corresponding rare earth halide in molten salts in a semi-continuous process. An air stable pellet or ingot can be fed into molten salts and reduced through metallothermic reduction or electrolysis. The formation of an air stable feedstock minimizes handling concerns of the hygroscopic rare earth salts, allowing the reduction process to be run in a semi-continuous process. The process can optionally include the addition of alloying elements such as magnesium, iron and zinc reduce the required processing temperature.

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, June 13, 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.
