ABSTRACT Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has emerged as an ongoing global pandemic. Presently, there are no clinically approved vaccines nor drugs for COVID-19. Hence, there is an urgent need to accelerate the development of effective antivirals. One or more members of the 8-Hydroxyquinoline and Benzylamine structural classes inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection induced cytopathic effect in vitro, inhibited the exopeptidase activity of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), and disrupted the binding between ACE2 and the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

ABSTRACT Disclosed herein are compositions of nanoparticles with naringenin as a folate receptor (FR)-targeting ligand and methods of making and administering the nanoparticles with naringenin (NAR) ligands for drug delivery applications. The disclosed compositions include NAR-functional polyester-based nanoparticles encapsulating insulin (i.e. insulin-laden NAR-functional nanoparticles), which showed loading capacities of 10% and encapsulation efficiency of >70%. The insulin-laden NAR-functional nanoparticles are shown in examples to have a 3-fold higher bioavailability of insulin compared to unfunctionalized nanoparticles, suggesting the role of receptor-mediated transport across the intestinal barriers. Methods of making NAR-functional nanoparticles are also disclosed herein, and methods of administration for the peroral delivery of encapsulated drugs.

ABSTRACT Described herein is a novel, mitochondrial encoded, open reading frame that leads to the production of a new mitochondrial peptide called SHMOOSE. SHMOOSE is a 58-amino-acid peptide and, within its open reading frame, contains a genome-wide significant small nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that markedly increased risk for Alzheimer's disease, brain structure, brain gene expression, and cognition. SHMOOSE increased neuronal-type cell survival and protected against amyloid beta toxicity. Metabolomic studies revealed a role for the peptide in energy optimization, whose dysfunction and dysregulation leads to cell death in physiologically notable regions of the brain in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Methods and compositions, including peptide analogues and derivatives, are described for treatment and diagnostics.

ABSTRACT Vaccines that elicit broadly protective anti-influenza antibodies. Some vaccines comprise nanoparticles that display HA trimers from influenza virus on their surface. The nanoparticles are fusion proteins comprising a monomeric subunit (e.g., ferritin) joined to the stem region of an influenza HA protein. The fusion proteins self-assemble to form the HA-displaying nanoparticles. The vaccines comprise only the stem region of an influenza HA protein joined to a trimerization domain. Also provided are fusion proteins, and nucleic acid molecules encoding such proteins, and assays using nanoparticles of the invention to detect anti-influenza antibodies.

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

ABSTRACT Methods for identifying bacterial species in biofluid samples (e.g., whole blood samples) are described. The methods rely on optical spectroscopy, and enable rapid detection and identification of bacteria directly from whole blood. Not only can LSS-based techniques detect and identify bacteria in biofluids such as whole blood, but that species-level identification can potentially be made based on a small number of bacterial cells, without the need for observing entire colonies or performing susceptibility testing. The methods may comprise illuminating the biofluid sample with input light, detecting scattered light produced by the biofluid sample in response to the illuminating, generating first data indicative of a measured scattering spectrum associated with the biofluid sample using the detected scattered light, and identifying whether at least one of the bacterial species is present in the biofluid sample using the first data.

ABSTRACT Methods and apparatus are described for labeling biological particles using acoustophoresis. In a washing stage, two adjacent substreams are passed through a region having a gradient in acoustic energy density, leading to particles being driven from one substream to the other. Washed bioparticles flowing in a medium are accumulated at a trapping site by an acoustic energy barrier while the medium passes by. Accumulated particles are discharged in batches and mixed with labeling particles. The mixture is incubated in a chamber, producing labeled biological particles, which are washed in another washing stage. Processing operations are automated e.g. on a microfluidics platform. Diagnostic and therapeutic applications are disclosed, covering a range of particle types and a range of labeling types. Exemplary biological particles include cells, antibodies, or fragments thereof. Exemplary labeling particles have detection functions (radioligand, magnetic particles, fluorophores), therapeutic functions (drugs), or binding functions (adhesion molecules).

ABSTRACT Systems, methods, and apparatuses for learning foundation models from anatomy in medical imaging for use with medical image classification and/or image segmentation in the context of medical image analysis. Exemplary systems include means for receiving medical images; extracting human anatomical patterns from the medical images; generating a foundation model via learning the human anatomical patterns from within the medical images received, resulting in generic representations of the human anatomical patterns; wherein the learning includes: first learning prominent objects from within the medical images received corresponding to the human anatomical patterns; and secondly learning detailed parts within the learned prominent objects corresponding to sub-portions of the generic representations of the human anatomical patterns; wherein the learning further includes executing a self-supervised contrastive learning framework, including: executing an anatomy decomposer (AD) of the self-supervised contrastive learning framework which guides the generated foundation model to conserve hierarchical relationships of anatomical structures within the medical images received; and executing a purposive pruner (PP) of the self-supervised contrastive learning framework which forces the model to capture more distinct representations for different anatomical structures at varying granularity levels; and outputting the generated foundation model for use in processing medical images which form no part of the medical images received and used for training the generated foundation model.

ABSTRACT A system and associated method learns full distributions over gene states, state connectivities, and associated rate parameters, simultaneously and self-consistently from single molecule level RNA counts within a Bayesian nonparametric paradigm. The method propagates noise originating from fluctuating RNA counts over networks warranted by the data by treating networks themselves as random variables. The method is demonstrated on the lacZ pathway in Escherichia coli cells, the STL1 pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells, and robustness is verified on synthetic data.

ABSTRACT A method for remote intervention for a subject includes acquiring an image of a region of interest of the subject using an interventional device positioned on the subject and an image acquisition system. The region of interest includes a target structure and the subject is located at a first site. The method further includes analyzing the acquired image using an image analysis module to identify and label the target structure in the region of interest and transmitting the labelled image from the first site to a second site for expert review. The second site is remote from the first site. The method further includes receiving a command signal at the first site from the second site where the command signal is generated based on the expert review of the labelled image and configured to control an action of the interventional device. In some embodiments, the method may further include analyzing the acquired image to determine a pathway to the vessel that avoids critical structures.

ABSTRACT Methods of pre-conditioning and lubricating the rubbing surfaces of steel substrates are provided. The methods include a pre-conditioning step in which a hydrocarbon fluid having cycloalkane carboxylic acid additives dispersed therein is used to form a tribofilm on a rubbing surface of a device, following by replacing the pre-conditioning lubricant with a cycloalkane-carboxylic acid-free hydrocarbon lubricant for the regular operation of the device. The tribofilm formed during the pre-conditioning step provides long-term friction and wear reduction at the rubbing surfaces, even after it is replaced, and allows for the subsequent operation of the device without the need to change the composition of the regularly used lubricant.

ABSTRACT Provided are apparatus and methods for sensing material degradation through sensing of mass accumulation. In some aspects, the apparatus and methods employ a material such as aerogel in conjunction with a force-sensing device such as a piezoelectric sensor placed in contact with or in proximity to a material under test. Degradation of the material under test is sensed by sensing a change in mass of the aerogel absorbing parts or particles of material lost by the unit under test that, in turn, acts to further place force on or deform the piezoelectric sensor enabling real time measurement of degradation by sensing changes in the output voltage of the piezoelectric sensor. These changes in output voltage may then be correlated to the mass degradation of the unit under test.

ABSTRACT An integrated measurement and analysis technique that greatly reduces the time required to measure and analyze electrochemical activity while maintaining high resolution. The order-of-magnitude increase in speed is potentially transformative for electrochemical characterization: it enables new modes of investigation that produce comprehensive images of electrochemical activity, rather than isolated fragments of information. The insight derived from the integrated measurement and analysis techniques of the present disclosure should be invaluable for stimulating innovations towards next-generation energy technologies.

ABSTRACT Techniques for automatic adaptive scanning with a laser scanner include obtaining range measurements at a coarse angular resolution and forming a horizontally sorted range gate subset and a characteristic range. A fine angular resolution is determined automatically based on the characteristic range and a target spatial resolution. If the fine angular resolution is finer than the coarse angular resolution, then a minimum and maximum vertical angle is automatically determined in each horizontal slice extending a bin size from any previous horizontal slice. A set of adaptive minimum and maximum vertical angles is determined automatically by dilating and interpolating the minimum and maximum vertical angles of all the slices to the second horizontal angular resolution. A horizontal start angle, and the set of adaptive minimum and maximum vertical angles are sent to cause the ranging system to obtain measurements at the second angular resolution.

ABSTRACT Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, used for object detection in an input image that can include at least partial object occlusion. In some implementations, input data representing the image depicting an object can include object-based features and context-based features used for object detection. The feature is processed by a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model. First feature data generated by the DCNN is provided to an occlusion model and a generative compositional model. The occlusion model can detect locations where an object depicted in the image is occluded by an object of any other type. The generative compositional model detects the presence of different classes of objects that represent parts or partial components of object depicted in the image. The output of the compositional model and occlusion model is a likelihood map that shows if an object is depicted in the input image.

ABSTRACT A portable generator has an electric machine and a prime mover to rotate the electric machine. The portable generator has a power converter to receive power from the electric machine, convert the received power, and output the converted power. The portable generator has a housing to enclose the electric machine, the prime mover, and the power converter. The portable generator has a control system. The control system operates the power converter to output the converted power at a power rating of at least 600 kW. The control system then determines an output power demand and determines a rotational speed target after determining the output power demand. The control system then reduces a rotational speed of the electrical machine using the power converter after determining the rotational speed target.

ABSTRACT A radio-frequency receiver achieves high sensitivity by pumping atoms to high-azimuthal (custom-character≥3) Rydberg states. A vapor cell contains quantum particles (e.g., cesium atoms). A laser system provides probe, dressing, and coupling beams to pump the quantum particles to a first Rydberg state having a high-azimuthal quantum number custom-character≥3. A local oscillator drives an electric field in the vapor cell at a local oscillator frequency, which is imposed on a distribution of quantum particles between the first Rydberg state and a second Rydberg state. An incident RF signal field interferes with the local oscillator field, imposing an oscillation in the distribution at a beat or difference frequency and, consequently, on the intensity of the probe beam. The beat frequency component of the intensity of the probe beam is detected, and the detection signal is demodulated to extract information originally in the RF signal.

ABSTRACT Military Standard 1553 (MIL-STD-1553) is a military standard that was published by the United States Department of Defense in 1973 for tactical aircraft. Despite advances in communications, many machines retain MIL-STD-1553 buses, since retrofitting the machines with newer communication systems is not always practical. However, newer subsystems for such machines tend to utilize Internet Protocol (IP) for higher bandwidth communications. Accordingly, a device is disclosed that enables IP communications over existing MIL-STD-1553 buses. This enables an existing MIL-STD-1553 bus to span the gap between two separate IP networks (e.g., subsystems) within the machine. In addition, the IP communications may utilize Standard Agreement (STANAG) 7221 to provide higher bandwidth over the existing MIL-STD-1553 buses. For added security, the IP communications may also be encrypted during transport over the MIL-STD-1553 buses.

ABSTRACT This disclosure describes the microbial network and community assembly patterns of brown macro algae, e.g., Macrocystis pyrifera gametophyte germplasm, cultures used to cultivate an offshore farm and identify network features associated with increased biomass of mature sporophytes. Several network features, such as clustering coefficient and edge ratios, significantly vary with biomass outcomes; also, gametophytes that become low- or high biomass sporophytes have different hub taxa. This disclosure describes microbial community dynamics in M. pyrifera germplasm cultures and development of early life stage inoculants used on seaweed cultivars to increase biomass yield.

ABSTRACT Hybrid materials are disclosed including molecular/protein crystals integrated with synthetic polymers. The disclosed materials combine the structural order and periodicity of crystals, the adaptiveness and tunable mechanical properties of polymeric networks, and the chemical versatility of protein building blocks. Some of the properties of the disclosed materials include the following: 1) allows crystals-which are typically rigid and brittle—to expand and contract reversibly; 2) incorporates polymers to increase the mechanical toughness of the crystals and allow self-healing; 3) reversibly expand/contract crystal lattices and mobilize the protein components therein may provide a new means to improve X-ray diffraction quality and explore otherwise inaccessible protein structural states using 3D protein crystallography; 4) creation of chemically and mechanically differentiated domains within single crystals. Some example embodiments combine the properties of hydrogels (flexibility, adaptability, elasticity, self-healing), crystals (structural order) and proteins (chemical and genetic tailorability).

ABSTRACT An anion exchange membrane is composed of a copolymer of 1,1-diphenylethylene and one or more styrene monomers, such as 4-tert-butylstyrene. The copolymer includes a backbone substituted with a plurality of ionic groups coupled to phenyl groups on the backbone via hydrocarbyl tethers between about 1 and about 7 carbons in length. High-temperature conditions enabled by these copolymers enhance conductivity performance, making them particularly suitable for use in anion exchange membranes in fuel cells, electrolyzers employing hydrogen, ion separations, etc. The properties of the membranes can be tuned via the degree of functionalization of the phenyl groups and selection of the functional groups, such as quaternary ammonium groups. Several processes can be used to incorporate the desired ionic functional groups into the polymers, such as chloromethylation, radical bromination, Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation, sulfonation followed by amination, or combinations thereof.

ABSTRACT A method for shear-assisted extrusion of a billet or feedstock can involve extruding a first portion of the feedstock through a die opening while rotating the die face relative to the feedstock at a first rotational rate and applying a first axial extrusion force. A second portion of the feedstock can be extruded through the opening while rotating the die face at a second rotational rate and applying a second axial extrusion force. This can establish different temperature ranges at the interface for each portion, resulting in a first extruded portion with different physical properties than the second extruded portion.

ABSTRACT A method of increasing anisotropy of magnetic materials formed by a hydrogenation-disproportionation-desorption-recombination (HDDR) process is provided. The method includes subjecting a starting magnetic material to a hydrogenation-disproportionation (HD) step in the presence of a magnetic field to obtain intermediate materials. The strength of the applied magnetic field is between 0.25 T and 9 T, optionally less than or equal to 2 T. The HD step may be performed for a period of time between 10 and 60 minutes at a temperature of at least 600° C., optionally in the range of 600° C. to 900° C. Subsequently, the intermediate materials are subjected to a desorption-recombination (DR) step to obtain a magnetic powder. Application of the magnetic field during the hydrogenation-disproportionation step increases the magnetic anisotropy of the obtained magnetic powder. Magnetic powders obtained by the method and bonded magnets formed with the magnetic powders are also provided.

ABSTRACT Reduction in the tortuosity of electrodes is a favored strategy to enhance the fast-charging capability of lithium-ion batteries by optimizing the ion-transfer kinetics. A facile, low-cost, highly controllable, and high-output continual additive manufacturing roll-to-roll screen printing technology is disclosed herein to render customized vertical channels within electrodes. High-accuracy vertical channels were fabricated by applying as-developed inks, using LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2, for example, as the cathode material. The optimized screen-printed electrode exhibited a seven-fold higher specific charge capacity (72 mAh/g) at a current rate of 6 C and superior stability compared with that of the conventional bar-coated electrode (10 mAh/g, 6 C) at a mass loading of 10 mg/cm2.

ABSTRACT A method of ablating tissue uses a microwave ablation system with a plurality of applicators. The method includes the steps of having the applicators inserted into the tissue and located in and/or adjacent a target tissue section and having the system perform an ablation cycle by activating at least one of the applicators so that the at least one applicator emits electromagnetic radiation that is sufficiently strong to cause ablation of the target tissue section. The at least one applicator comprises a directional applicator that emits radiation to define an angular radiation pattern. The step of having the applicators inserted into the tissue includes the step of orienting the directional applicator so that the angular radiation pattern extends from the directional applicator toward the target tissue section. The method also includes the step of having the system perform a sensing cycle that includes the step of using one or more of the applicators to take a measurement associated with a dielectric property of the tissue.

ABSTRACT A computer-free system and method is disclosed that uses an all-optical image reconstruction method to see through random diffusers at the speed of light. Using deep learning, a set of transmissive layers are trained to all-optically reconstruct images of arbitrary objects that are distorted by random phase diffusers. After the training stage, the resulting diffractive layers are fabricated and form a diffractive optical network that is physically positioned between the unknown object and the image plane to all-optically reconstruct the object pattern through an unknown, new phase diffuser. Unlike digital methods, all-optical diffractive reconstructions do not require power except for the illumination light. This diffractive solution to see through diffusive and/or scattering media can be extended to other wavelengths, and can fuel various applications in biomedical imaging, astronomy, atmospheric sciences, oceanography, security, robotics, autonomous vehicles, among many others.

ABSTRACT The present disclosure describes systems and methods for generating a superconducting electronic circuit design. The system includes a memory and a processor. The processor simulates a superconducting electronic circuit design using a first process variation to produce a first score and simulates the superconducting electronic circuit design using a second process variation to produce a second score. The processor, in response to determining that the first score is lower than the second score, simulates the superconducting electronic circuit design using the first process variation and a first design variation to produce a third score and simulates the superconducting electronic circuit design using the first process variation and a second design variation to produce a fourth score. The processor updates the superconducting electronic circuit design using the first process variation and the first design variation in response to determining that the third score is higher than the fourth score.

ABSTRACT Computer-based systems and methods for discovering neighborhood clusters in a geographic region, where the clusters have a mix of venues and are determined based on venue check-in data. The mix of venues for the clusters may be based on the social similarity between pairs of venues; or emblematic of certain neighborhood typologies; or emblematic of temporal check-in pattern types; or combinations thereof. The neighborhood clusters that are so discovered through venue-check in data could be used for many commercial and civic purposes.

ABSTRACT An environment-aware prediction and control framework, which incorporates learned environment and terrain features into a predictive model for human-robot symbiotic walking, is disclosed herein. First, a compact deep neural network is introduced for accurate and efficient prediction of pixel-level depth maps from RGB inputs. In turn, this methodology reduces the size, weight, and cost of the necessary hardware, while adding key features such as close-range sensing, filtering, and temporal consistency. In combination with human kinematics data and demonstrated walking gaits, the extracted visual features of the environment are used to learn a probabilistic model coupling perceptions to optimal actions. The resulting data-driven controllers. Bayesian Interaction Primitives, can be used to infer in real-time optimal control actions for a lower-limb prosthesis. The inferred actions naturally take the current state of the environment and the user into account during walking.

ABSTRACT A deep learning-based system and method is provided that uses a convolutional neural network to rapidly transform in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) images of unstained skin into virtually-stained hematoxylin and eosin-like images with microscopic resolution, enabling visualization of epidermis, dermal-epidermal junction, and superficial dermis layers. The network is trained using ex vivo RCM images of excised unstained tissue and microscopic images of the same tissue labeled with acetic acid nuclear contrast staining as the ground truth. The trained neural network can be used to rapidly perform virtual histology of in vivo, label-free RCM images of normal skin structure, basal cell carcinoma and melanocytic nevi with pigmented melanocytes, demonstrating similar histological features of traditional histology from the same excised tissue. The system and method enables more rapid diagnosis of malignant skin neoplasms and reduces invasive skin biopsies.

ABSTRACT A customizable thin plate fuel form and reactor core therefor are disclosed. The thin plate fuel will comprise a fuel material embedded within a matrix material, with the entire unit having a coating. The thin plate fuel may be flat or curved and will have flow channels formed within at least the top surface of the fuel plate. The structure of the thin plate fuel will make it easier for coating with Tungsten or any other suitable material that will help contain any byproducts, prevent reactions with the working fluid, and potentially provide structural support to the thin plate fuel.

ABSTRACT A deep learning-based system and method is provided that uses a convolutional neural network to rapidly transform in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) images of unstained skin into virtually-stained hematoxylin and eosin-like images with microscopic resolution, enabling visualization of epidermis, dermal-epidermal junction, and superficial dermis layers. The network is trained using ex vivo RCM images of excised unstained tissue and microscopic images of the same tissue labeled with acetic acid nuclear contrast staining as the ground truth. The trained neural network can be used to rapidly perform virtual histology of in vivo, label-free RCM images of normal skin structure, basal cell carcinoma and melanocytic nevi with pigmented melanocytes, demonstrating similar histological features of traditional histology from the same excised tissue. The system and method enables more rapid diagnosis of malignant skin neoplasms and reduces invasive skin biopsies.

ABSTRACT One or more embodiments of the invention are directed toward biodegradable films from distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS), especially sorghum DDGS, and methods of making the same. The films, which are suitable for use as packaging films, can be produced by directly conditioning the DDGS via a milling process, such as wet milling (e.g., colloid mill and ball milling) in water or a sodium hydroxide solution. The milled slurry is co-dissolved with plasticizers and stabilizers (preferably all less than 1% by weight) in a mixture of water and an organic solvent. The mixture is then used for film processing via pour-casting. The biodegradable films have significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activities related to their phenolic content.

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, August 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.
