ABSTRACT A method for determining mechanical properties of tissue in an individual includes attaching a stretchable and/or flexible ultrasound imaging device to the individual. The imaging device includes at least a one-dimensional array of transducer elements that transmit ultrasound waves into the individual. A first series of ultrasound waves are received from the tissue in the individual before applying a strain to the tissue by compression and a second series of ultrasound waves are received from the tissue after applying the compression to the tissue. Data from the first and second series of ultrasound waves are compared to obtain displacement data of the tissue from which strain data representing strain applied to the tissue is obtainable. A 2D image representing a 2D modulus distribution within the tissue is generated using the displacement data. One or more mechanical properties of the tissue is identified based on the 2D modulus distribution.

ABSTRACT Cancer immunotherapy deploys the host's immune system to recognize and attack cancerous tumors. However, the efficacy is greatly restricted by the immunosuppressive (i.e., immunologically cold) tumor microenvironment (TME). In-situ cryo-immune engineering (ICIE) strategy turns the TME from immunologically “cold” into “hot”. In particular, after the ICIE treatment, the ratio of the CD8+ cytotoxic T cells to the immunosuppressive regulatory T cells is increased in primary tumors and distant tumors without freezing. The ICIE treatment causes “frostbite” of tumor with cold-responsive nanoparticles that target cancer cells. This rapidly releases both anticancer drug(s) and PD-L1 silencing siRNA into the cytosol. This ICIE treatment leads to potent immunogenic cell death, which promotes maturation of dendritic cells and activation of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and memory T cells. Collectively, ICIE enables an efficient and durable way to leverage the immune system for combating cancer and its metastasis.

In some embodiments, the fluidic devices and methods described herein provide highly sensitive detection of microbes in relatively large fluidic samples (e.g., between 0.5 mL and about 5 mL), as compared to certain existing fluidic detection (e.g., microfluidic) devices and methods. In an exemplary embodiment, increased detection sensitivity of microbial pathogens present in a patient sample (e.g., blood) is performed by selectively removing human nucleic acid prior to sensitive detection of microbial infection. In some embodiments, the fluidic device allows for the identification of microbial pathogens directly from unprocessed blood without having to conduct blood culturing processes.

ABSTRACT Compositions and methods are provided for increasing the efficiency of precise gene editing of a target gene. One method includes administering to a mammalian subject in vivo or contacting mammalian cells ex vivo with a composition that temporarily inhibits, down-regulates, blocks or reduces the expression or activity of one or a combination of genes selected from Table 2 prior to or simultaneously with the components of a gene editing system. In one embodiment such components include a Cas enzyme and RNA guide for the precise editing repair of said target gene. In another embodiment such components include other DNA-targeting enzyme like TALE or ZFN for the precise editing repair of said target gene. Another method involves administering to a mammalian subject in vivo or contacting mammalian cells ex vivo with a composition that temporarily activates, up-regulates, stimulates or overexpresses the product, expression or activity of at least one or a combination of additional genes selected from Table 1 prior to or simultaneously with the components of a gene editing system for precise editing repair of said target gene, or any combination of inhibitors and activators. Still other methods include administering various combinations of such inhibiting and activating compositions.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are components and methods for preparing tagatose from galactose via isomerization reactions using engineered components. The engineered components include microbial cells and methods for preparing microbial cells that have been engineered to catalyze isomerization of galactose to tagatose, in which the microbial cells express cytoplasmically an exogenous L-arabinose isomerase enzyme. The disclosed microbial cells may further be modified for use in methods for preparing tagatose from galactose via isomerization reactions where the microbial cells are treated with reagents that permeabilize the cells. The disclosed methods enable isomerization reactions of galactose to tagatose at relatively high rates, high conversions, and elevated temperatures.

ABSTRACT A dual-caged fluorogenic resorufin probe (CDA) has been developed that is stable under physiological condition with low background but becomes highly fluorescent upon β-lactamase/esterase activation and further oxidation. The probes of the disclosure are advantageous for initial screening of broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics resistance and carbapenem resistant pathogens at diagnosis. After a two-step filtration, the assay of the disclosure can report 103 c.f.u./mL cephalosporin- and carbapenem-resistant bacteria in urine within 2 hours at room temperature.

ABSTRACT A measurement volume is divided into multiple regions of interest (ROIs) and RF shimming parameters are independently selected for each of the ROIs. The ROIs have dimensions based on an RF wavelength in a specimen (i.e., based on RF frequency and specimen dielectric constant) and are selected to reduce wavelength-based nonuniformity in specimen excitation. For a multi-segment RF coil having segments situated about a cylindrical surface, ROI shapes include cylinders and cylindrical shells aligned along a coil axis.

ABSTRACT An apparatus that facilitates search and rescue, for example, in open water. The apparatus comprises a substrate with a particular geometry and a perimeter. The apparatus further comprises a cover positioned atop the substrate with the cover also having a particular geometry and perimeter, which correspond to the geometry and perimeter of the substrate. An air-tight seal seals the substrate perimeter to the cover perimeter and creates a sealed internal region. A liquid-releasable vessel holding an illuminable dye located in the sealed internal region, along with an activator that is also located in the sealed internal region. When the liquid-releasable vessel releases the illuminable dye, the illuminable dye reacts with the activator, thereby resulting in illumination of the illuminable dye. The liquid-releasable vessel comprises an opening with a release mechanism (e.g., clamp, etc.).

ABSTRACT Multiple cure coreactive compositions for three-dimensional printing include a polythiol, a reactive polyamine, and a coreactive compound that is reactive with both the polythiol and the reactive polyamine. The reaction between the polythiol and the coreactive compound is catalyzed by the reactive polyamine and has a gel time that is faster that the gel time of the reaction between the coreactive compound and reactive polyamine. Other examples of multiple cure coreactive compositions suitable for three-dimensional printing include a composition comprising a reactive polyamine, a polyfunctional Michael acceptor, a poly epoxide and a non-reactive catalyst; and a composition comprising a reactive polyamine, a polyfunctional Michael acceptor, a polyepoxide or combination thereof, and an amine reactive compound. The multiple cure coreactive compositions can have a fast gel time at a temperature of 25° C. that can be adjusted by changing the content of the reactive polyamine in the multiple cure coreactive composition. The multiple cure coreactive compositions are useful for three-dimensional printing.

ABSTRACT Techniques for Doppler correction of chirped optical range detection include obtaining a first set of ranges based on corresponding frequency differences between a return optical signal and a first chirped transmitted optical signal with an up chirp that increases frequency with time. A second set of ranges is obtained based on corresponding frequency differences between a return optical signal and a second chirped transmitted optical signal with a down chirp. A matrix of values for a cost function is determined, one value for each pair of ranges that includes one in the first set and one in the second set. A matched pair of one range in the first set and a corresponding one range in the second set is determined based on the matrix. A Doppler effect on range is determined based on combining the matched pair of ranges. A device is operated based on the Doppler effect.

ABSTRACT Systems and devices are disclosed to generate a multidimensional mass fingerprint that allows for identification on a low-resolution mass spectrometer equipped with post-ionization fragmentation. For this approach, rather than interrogating a sample that is processed into peptides using a single high resolution MS scan as in traditional fingerprinting, a raw unprocessed sample (containing all biochemical species: lipids, proteins, peptides, and metabolites) is analyzed by combining Matrix-Assisted Laser Dissociation/Ionization (MALDI) ionization with low resolution tandem mass spectrometry. The proposed system combines improvements in MS hardware and software with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) approaches to usher in rapid biological detection. This technique does not require any prior separation (liquid or gas chromatography) and is therefore rapid (e.g. less than 5 sec) and amenable to high throughput (e.g. greater than 384 samples/hr).

ABSTRACT A method of fabricating a heterostructure includes providing a substrate, and implementing a non-sputtered, epitaxial growth procedure at a growth temperature to form a wurtzite structure supported by the substrate. The wurtzite structure includes an alloy of a III-nitride material. The non-sputtered, epitaxial growth procedure is configured to incorporate a group IIIB element into the alloy of the III-nitride material. The growth temperature is at a level such that the wurtzite structure exhibits a breakdown field strength greater than a ferroelectric coercive field strength of the wurtzite structure.

ABSTRACT A photodetector focal plane array (FPA) with enhanced detection capability and reduced thermal current is provided. The FPA includes light-concentrating dielectric structures in a form of arrays of elements with three-dimensional geometrical shapes. The elements have tapered sidewalls that taper inwardly toward a surface portion with a reduced width. A photodetector is joined to the portion with a reduced width. A metallic layer is disposed over the tapered sidewalls of the elements and the portion of the surface of the elements with a reduced width. The metallic layer provides mirror reflection properties to concentrate electromagnetic fields towards the detectors. The photodetector focal plane array may be used for infrared (IR) imaging applications in mid-wave IR (MWIR) and long-wave IR (LWIR) cameras as night vision and thermal imaging devices.

ABSTRACT An optical high-power amplifier (“OPHA”) circuit, e.g., for a spaceborne satellite-based communication network, includes fiberoptic gain and polarization maintenance (“PM”) stages, a polarization splitter, first and second photodetectors, and an electronic control unit (“ECU”). The gain stage outputs an amplified optical signal in response to a low-power (“LP”) optical input signal. The PM stage outputs separate high and low power output signals in response to the amplified signal. A majority of power of the input signal is allocated to the HP output signal. The polarization splitter transmits the LP output signal along the slow and/or fast polarization axis. The photodetectors are arranged on the slow and fast axes. The ECU outputs a polarizer control signal to a polarization rotator device in response to electrical signals from one or both photodetectors to command the rotator device to output the LP optical input signal with a targeted polarized output state.

ABSTRACT In-network Optical Inference (IOI) provides low-latency machine learning inference by leveraging programmable switches and optical matrix multiplication. IOI uses a transceiver module, called a Neuro Transceiver, with an optical processor to perform linear operations, such as matrix multiplication, in the optical domain. IOI's transceiver modules can be plugged into programmable packet switches, which are programmed to perform non-linear activations in the electronic domain and to respond to inference queries. Processing inference queries at the programmable packet switches inside the network, without sending them to cloud or edge inference servers, significantly reduces end-to-end inference latency experienced by users.

ABSTRACT A piece of natural wood can be immersed in a first solution at a first temperature less than 100° C. and then immersed in a second solution at a second temperature greater than 100° C. so as to form a piece of partially-delignified wood. In some embodiments, the first and second solutions can be the same solution, and the immersion at the second temperature can be heating the solution from the first temperature to the second temperature. The immersion in the first and second solutions can be effective to remove 45-90% of lignin from the piece of natural wood and to destroy a structure of the ray cells in the piece of natural wood while retaining cell walls of the other cells. The partially-delignified wood can then be dried. After drying, the partially-delignified wood can be clastic along its tangential direction but inelastic along its radial and longitudinal directions.

ABSTRACT Presently disclosed is a power production plant that is operable to store and generate power. In a “charge mode” (when electricity price is low), an air separation unit (ASU) cools and liquefies ambient air into liquid oxygen (LOx), which is then stored in a storage vessel. In a “discharge mode” (when electrical price is high), the stored LOx is used by the power production plant to combust a fuel and form a combustion product stream that can be expanded in a turbine to generate power. The power production plant particularly can utilize carbon dioxide as a recycled, circulating or working fluid so that substantially all carbon dioxide produced in the power production can be captured.

ABSTRACT Systems and devices are disclosed to generate a multidimensional mass fingerprint that allows for identification on a low-resolution mass spectrometer equipped with post-ionization fragmentation. For this approach, rather than interrogating a sample that is processed into peptides using a single high resolution MS scan as in traditional fingerprinting, a raw unprocessed sample (containing all biochemical species: lipids, proteins, peptides, and metabolites) is analyzed by combining Matrix-Assisted Laser Dissociation/Ionization (MALDI) ionization with low resolution tandem mass spectrometry. The proposed system combines improvements in MS hardware and software with state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) approaches to usher in rapid biological detection. This technique does not require any prior separation (liquid or gas chromatography) and is therefore rapid (e.g. less than 5 sec) and amenable to high throughput (e.g. greater than 384 samples/hr).

ABSTRACT In-network Optical Inference (IOI) provides low-latency machine learning inference by leveraging programmable switches and optical matrix multiplication. IOI uses a transceiver module, called a Neuro Transceiver, with an optical processor to perform linear operations, such as matrix multiplication, in the optical domain. IOI's transceiver modules can be plugged into programmable packet switches, which are programmed to perform non-linear activations in the electronic domain and to respond to inference queries. Processing inference queries at the programmable packet switches inside the network, without sending them to cloud or edge inference servers, significantly reduces end-to-end inference latency experienced by users.

ABSTRACT Porous three-dimensional networks of polyimide and porous three-dimensional networks of carbon and methods of their manufacture are described. For example, polyimide aerogels are prepared by mixing a dianhydride and a diisocyanate in a solvent comprising a pyrrolidone and acetonitrile at room temperature to form a sol-gel material and supercritically drying the sol-gel material to form the polyimide aerogel. Porous three-dimensional polyimide networks, such as polyimide aerogels, may also exhibit a fibrous morphology. Having a porous three-dimensional polyimide network undergo an additional step of pyrolysis may result in the three dimensional network being converted to a purely carbon skeleton, yielding a porous three-dimensional carbon network. The carbon network, having been derived from a fibrous polyimide network, may also exhibit a fibrous morphology.

ABSTRACT Existing feedstock for additive manufacturing is mostly stiff, fragile plastics. We report a class of 3D printable, ultrasoft and stretchable elastomers by exploiting the self-assembly of responsive bottlebrush-based triblock copolymers. The microphase separation of the architecturally and chemically distinct blocks results in physically crosslinked networks that are stimuli-reversible, enabling their use for in-situ direct-write printing soft, elastic, and deformable 3D structures. The elastomers are 100% solvent-reprocessable yet thermostable within a wide range of temperature. Moreover, they exhibit an extensibility up to 600% and a Young's modulus low to ˜102 Pa, 106 times softer than plastics and more than 100 times softer than all existing 3D printable elastomers.

ABSTRACT Ionic liquid N-methyl-N-propyl-pyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (Pyr13FSI) was introduced into a hybrid network to obtain a series of gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs). Mechanical and electrochemical properties of the GPEs were tuned through controlling the network structure and ionic liquid contents, and ionic conductivity higher than 1 mS cm−1 at room temperature was achieved. The newly developed GPEs are flame-retardant and show excellent thermal and electrochemical stability as well as ultra-stability with lithium metal anode. Symmetrical lithium cells with the GPEs exhibit a stable cycling over 6800 h at a current density of 0.1 mA cm−2 and stable lithium stripping-plating at 1 mA cm−2, the highest current density reported for ionic liquid-based GPEs. Moreover, Li/LiFePO4 batteries with the obtained GPEs exhibit desirable cycling stability and rate performance over a wide temperature range from 0° C. to 90° C.

ABSTRACT Described herein are methods and systems for preventing a glycemic event. One or more improved deep-learning models for predicting glycemic events may receive current blood glucose data and other physiological data from associated with a patient. The one or more models may determine one or more future blood glucose values and whether or not the one or more future blood glucose values satisfy one ore more thresholds associated with one or more glycemic events (e.g., hypoglycemia and/or hyperglycemia). If the one or more future blood glucose values satisfy the one or more thresholds, one or more actions may be taken (e.g., administration of insulin).

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, July 18, 2024.

The FedInvent Weekly Patent Details Page contains a subset of patent information to provide a deeper dive into the week's taxpayer-funded patents to help the reader better understand where a patent fits in the federal innovation ecosphere.

HOW IS THE INFORMATION ORGANIZED?

Patents are organized by the funding agency. Within each group, the patents are organized in numeric order. A patent funded by more than one agency will appear in the section of each of the agencies that funded the research and development that resulted in the invention. This approach gives the reader a complete view of the department or agency activity for the week.

WHAT INFORMATION WILL I FIND?

THE PANEL
There is a panel for each patent that contains the patent number and the title of the patent. When you click the panel, it opens to reveal the following information:

FUNDED BY
The agencies that funded the grants, contracts, or other research agreements that resulted in the patent. FedInvent includes as much information on the source of the funding as possible. The information is presented in a hierarchy going from the Federal Department down to the agencies, subagencies, and offices that funded the work. Here are two examples:

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
     National Institutes of Health (NIH)
         National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

Department of Defense (DOD)
     Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
         Army Research Office (ARO)

We do our best to provide detailed information about the funding. In some cases, the patent only reports limited information on the origins of the funding. FedInvents presents what it can confirm. We add the patents without the information required by the Bayh-Dole Act to our list of patents worthy of further investigation.

APPLICANT(S) and ASSIGNEES
FedInvent includes both the Applicants and the Assignees because having both provides more information about where the inventive work was done and by what organizations. Many organizations — universities, corporations, and federal agencies — standardize the Assignee/Owner information by the time a patent is granted. In the case of federal patents, many of the patents use the agency headquarters information for patent assignment.

Showing just the headquarters address would make Washington, DC the epicenter of all taxpayer-funded research and development. Providing both the applicant information and the assignee information provides a more accurate picture of where important taxpayer-funded innovation is happening in America. Here are two examples from two different patents:

APPLICANT: U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Adelphi, MD
ASSIGNEE: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army Washington, DC

APPLICANT: Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)
ASSIGNEE(S): The Regents of the University of California (Oakland, California); Optech Ventures, LLC (Torrance, California)

INVENTOR(S)
The inventors appear in the same order as they appear on the patent. FedInvents presents the names in first name/last name order because they are easier to read than the last name/first name order of the names on the USPTO patent documents.

ABSTRACT
The abstract is presented as it appears on the patent.

FILED
The date the patent application including the day of the week.

APPL NO
This is the patent application serial number. If you’d like to learn more about how application serial numbers work you can go to the Lists Page.

ART UNIT
Patent data includes the Art Unit where a patent was examined. (The Art Unit isn’t available for published patent applications.) The Art Unit provides insight into what group of patent examiners prosecuted the patent application and the subject matter that the examiners work on. For example:

3793 — Medical Instruments, Diagnostic Equipment, and Treatment Devices

You can learn more about ART UNITS on the FedInvent Patents Weekly panel called About Tech Center or you can find information on the FedInvent Lists Page.

CURRENT CPC
Current CPC provides a list of the Cooperative Patent Classification symbols assigned to the patent. These are the CPC symbols assigned at the time the patent was granted.

The FedInvent Project is a patent classification maximalist endeavor or put another way, we believe that the more you understand about patent classification the more you'll learn about the nature of the invention and the types of work that the federal government is funding.

The symbol presented in BOLD is the symbol identified as the "first" classification which is the most relevant classification on the patent. The date that follows the symbol is the date of the most recent revision to the art classed there.

  • A61B 1/149 (20130101)
  • A61B 1/71 (20130101)
  • A61B 1/105 (20130101)

The CPC symbols match the classifications found on the PDF version of the patent. Over time, the classifications on the full text version of the patent change to reflect how USPTO organizes patent art to support its examiners. The two sets of CPCs don’t always match.

VIEW PATENT
As of June 2021, we include two ways to view a patent at USPTO. FedInvent provides a link to the Full-Text Version of the patent and a link to the PDF version of the patent.

HOW DO I FIND A SPECIFIC PATENT ON A PAGE?

You can use the Command F or Control F to find a specific patent you are interested in.

HOW DO I GET HERE?

You navigate to the details of a patent by clicking the information icon that follows a patent on the FedInvent Patents Weekly Report.

You can also reach this page using the weekly page link that looks like this:
