ABSTRACT Indwelling body lumen expanders which allow for the maintenance and patency of a body lumen, such as the prostatic urethra to relieve urethral obstruction, are described. Because the one or more expanders are configured to be relatively larger in diameter than the diameter of the body lumen, the expanders may become invaginated into the lumen wall thus enabling the prostheses to avoid fluid exposure which in turn prevent the prostheses from becoming encrusted or calcified.

ABSTRACT A surgical device and procedure are provided for smoothly and easily accessing tissue to perform microsurgery, including a capsulotomy of a lens capsule of an eye. The device includes a handpiece with a tip for insertion into an incision in the cornea of the eye. A sliding element is disposed within the handpiece and a suction cup is mounted to the sliding element. The sliding element can be translated to move the suction cup into and out of the handpiece. A compression mechanism associated with the suction cup and the handpiece compresses the suction cup for deployment through the tip of the handpiece. The suction cup can expand inside the anterior chamber into a cutting position on the lens capsule. A cutting element mounted to the suction cup is used to cut a portion of the lens capsule and to remove the portion from the eye. The cutting element may be mounted to a cutting element support structure in a way that prevents heating of the device.

ABSTRACT RNA drug targets are pervasive in cells but methods to design small molecules that target them are sparse. Herein, we report a general approach to score the affinity and selectivity of RNA motif-small molecule interactions identified via selection. Named High Throughput Structure-Activity Relationships Through Sequencing (HiT-StARTS), HiT-StARTS is statistical in nature and compares input nucleic acid sequences to selected library members that bind a ligand via high throughput sequencing. The approach allowed facile definition of the fitness landscape of hundreds of thousands of RNA motif-small molecule binding partners. These results were mined against folded RNAs in the human transcriptome and identified an avid interaction between a small molecule and the Dicer nuclease-processing site in the oncogenic microRNA (miR)-18a hairpin precursor, which is a member of the miR-17-92 cluster. Application of the small molecule, Targapremir-18a, to prostate cancer cells inhibited production of miR-18a from the cluster, de-repressed serine/threonine protein kinase 4 protein (STK4), and triggered apoptosis. Profiling the cellular targets of Targapremir-18a via Chemical Cross Linking and isolation by Pull Down (Chem-CLIP), a covalent small molecule-RNA cellular profiling approach, and other studies showed specific binding of the compound to the miR-18a precursor, revealing broadly applicable factors that govern small molecule drugging of non-coding RNAs.

ABSTRACT A replication-competent adenovirus type 4 (Ad4) modified to express the SARS-COV-2 spike protein is described. The genome of the recombinant Ad4 is modified to have a deletion of at least a portion of the adenovirus E3 region to accommodate insertion of the spike protein coding sequence. Administration of the recombinant Ad4 to the upper respiratory tract elicits mucosal immunity, which is important for protection against SARS-COV-2 infection and for preventing transmission of the virus.

ABSTRACT Disclosed are brain-targeted antibody delivery systems, methods of forming the systems, and methods of using the systems. The systems include hydrophilic nanogels based upon poly(ethylene glycol) copolymers. The nanogels can encapsulate an antibody for delivery to the brain and can include ligands for blood brain barrier (BBB) receptors on the surface, and as such, can utilize a systemic route of administration for delivery of the antibody to the brain and the eye. The systems can be utilized for systemic delivery routes to deliver the antibody to the brain side of the blood brain barrier and inside glial cells and degrade its corresponding protein. The systems can be utilized in treatment of neurodegenerative or retinal disorders.

ABSTRACT An isolated peptide having the structure: where —NH-Q-C(O)— is an α-helical amino acid sequence that includes at least 4 and up to 30 amino acid residues, Z1 is a moiety including an aromatic group or a fluorophore, Z2 includes a phosphorylated amino acid residue, or the dephosphorylated amino acid residue. These peptides, in dephosphorylated form, are capable of self-assembly in the form of a nanoribbon, nanofiber, or a combination thereof. Such peptides are capable of causing cell death of cells that overexpress alkaline phosphatases, which includes cancer cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and therefore the peptides of the invention can be used ex vivo to selectively cause cell death of cancer cells or iPSCs, or in vivo to cause cancer cell death.

ABSTRACT A zwitterionic polysiloxane polymer (e.g., a polyurethane elastomer) composition having poly(dialkylsiloxane) blocks and a zwitterionic moiety is prepared by the copolymerization of a poly(dialkylsiloxane) diol, a diisocyanate, a tertiary amine alkyl diol, and a poly(dialkylsiloxane) diamine to form a poly(urethane urea) copolymer. A substituted saturated heterocylic compound is reacted with the tertiary amine of the poly(urethane urea) copolymer to introduce a zwitterionic group into the poly(urethane urea) copolymer backbone. A polysiloxane polymer having a zwitterionic moiety is prepared by reacting a diallyl tertiary amine compound and a substituted saturated heterocylic compound to form a diallyl zwitterionic macromer and cross-linking a vinyl terminated poly(dialkylsiloxane) and the diallyl zwitterionic macromer with a curing agent to introduce a zwitterionic group into the poly(dialkylsiloxane) polymer.

ABSTRACT Provided herein are high-throughput, population-wide serotyping and antibody profiling assays. Disclosed variants of a Digital Serotyping assay employ next generation sequencing to measure the “serotyping profile” of barcoded subject serum antibodies tested against a range of DNA-tagged pathogen-derived antigens. The disclosed assay setup enables multiplexing in both the sample and antigen dimensions, generating a large multi-dimensional serotyping data set for more comprehensive serotyping profiling of large populations across a large number of antigens and possible pathogens. Moreover, the ability to easily scale and multiplex the number of peptide epitopes allows rapid updating of the assay content to monitor the ever-changing spectrum of pathogens. Additional applications of this technology include cancer immunology and autoimmune conditions (e.g., neoantigen or autoimmune profiling), screening for toxins, antibody therapeutics development, biosecurity, and veterinary medicine.

ABSTRACT A method and system for determining the presence of a selected analyte in a sample include an all-dielectric, metasurface sensor having one or more arrays of subwavelength-scale, dielectric nanopillars having anisotropic cross-sections. Nanopillars in selected regions of the metasurface sensor may be functionalized with binders for selectively binding the selected analyte. Methods for detecting the selected analyte in a sample rely on exposing the sensor to a test sample, probing the sensor with probe light having a selected polarization state, and comparing the polarization state of output light reflected or transmitted by functionalized regions of the sensor with a baseline polarization state of output light determined with a sample lacking the selected analyte.

ABSTRACT A spindle bearing assembly for a rotor blade, the assembly having a shaft extending from a hub and a housing for coupling the blade to the shaft. A ring is coaxial with the shaft and has a wall with a tapered external surface that narrows toward the outboard direction. The ring can be axially translated adjacent a tapered internal surface of the housing that also narrows toward the outboard direction. A spindle bearing coaxial with the shaft has a central aperture through which the shaft extends, the spindle bearing extending between the wall and the shaft. Threaded fasteners couple the ring to the housing, and rotation of the fasteners in a selected direction causes axial translation of the ring in the outboard direction, the engagement of the tapered surfaces causing the wall to move radially inward for creating an interference fit between the spindle bearing and the wall.

ABSTRACT A cover for the data ports disposed on opposite sides of a F-35 aircraft. The cover is macroscopically planar when not in use but flexible to conform to the curves on the sides of the F-35 airframe when the cover is attached. The cover is magnetically attached to three sides of a frame circumscribing air data port, but not attached on the forward side of the frame. This geometry provides for a covers which are symmetric and therefore usable with air data ports on both sides of the F-35 aircraft. The air data port cover does not have mechanical attachments or parts separable in use.

ABSTRACT For see-through AR displays, the current state of art uses geometric correction to lower the display location error, however this is far from an ideal solution and requires knowing range or pose of the devices. A dual-function optic for near-to-eye display & camera is disclosed, wherein a sensor camera imaging optics pipeline with a virtual projection point at an eye's retina reduces parallax errors to zero.

ABSTRACT A method for detecting a two-qubit correlated dephasing error includes accessing a signal of a quantum system, where the quantum system includes a plurality of qubits. Every qubit has a nonzero rate of dephasing and some qubits have a nonzero rate of correlated dephasing. The signal further includes information about a matrix that includes diagonal elements and off-diagonal elements. The off-diagonal elements of the matrix are 2s-sparse. The method further includes performing randomized measurements of the off-diagonal elements of the matrix and recovering the matrix based on a direct measurement of the diagonal elements of the matrix.

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 Hydrolysis of water-reactive nanoporous nonprecious metals to produce hydrogen fuel on-demand for non-stationary applications is a promising method to overcome infrastructural limitations associated with current hydrogen storage and delivery systems. However, the pyrophoricity of highly reactive nanoporous nonprecious metals presents a safety and stability issue. Herein we demonstrate a method to stabilize pyrophoric nanoporous nonprecious metals by using a composite pellet structure consisting of a nanoporous nonprecious metal and a highly hygroscopic material that (i) can trap and absorb high quantities of water vapor to prevent heat buildup and subsequent pyrophoric ignition from exothermic oxidation from oxygen, and (ii) can also undergo hydrolysis to produce hydrogen, thus, making it possible to suppress the pyrophoricity without sacrificing the overall hydrogen generation yield of the composite. Lithium hydroxide and lithium borohydride were investigated as two candidate hygroscopic materials for their ability to absorb water vapor.

ABSTRACT An isolated peptide having the structure: where —NH-Q-C(O)— is an α-helical amino acid sequence that includes at least 4 and up to 30 amino acid residues, Z1 is a moiety including an aromatic group or a fluorophore, Z2 includes a phosphorylated amino acid residue, or the dephosphorylated amino acid residue. These peptides, in dephosphorylated form, are capable of self-assembly in the form of a nanoribbon, nanofiber, or a combination thereof. Such peptides are capable of causing cell death of cells that overexpress alkaline phosphatases, which includes cancer cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and therefore the peptides of the invention can be used ex vivo to selectively cause cell death of cancer cells or iPSCs, or in vivo to cause cancer cell death.

ABSTRACT This patent document provides a caged catalyst comprising a catalyst encapsulated in a cage compound of Formula I represented [ZrIV6O4(OI)4(linker)6]). The catalysts demonstrated excellent activities and size selectivity in a model RCM reaction, suggesting successful encapsulation into MOFs. ROMP of cyclopentene mediated by G3@UiO-67 achieved significantly higher molecular weight and lower dispersity than the counterpart mediated by the free catalyst. The ultra-high molecular weight polymers generated by the encapsulated catalysts demonstrated significantly improved mechanical and adhesive properties compared to the low molecular weight counterparts and commercial polymers. The simplicity and generality make this method readily applicable to the ROMP of a wide range of low-strain cyclic olefins.

ABSTRACT Thin elastic films that can spontaneously attach to liquid interfaces, thereby offering a platform for tailoring their physical, chemical, and optical properties. Curved shells can be used to manipulate interfaces in qualitatively different ways. For example, an ultrathin shell with vanishing bending rigidity can impose its own rest shape on a liquid surface, in a process where the pressure across the interface inflates the shell into its original shape. The approach is amenable to optical applications as the shell is transparent, free of wrinkles, and may be manufactured over a range of curvatures.

ABSTRACT A one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) scan scheme for a tracking continuously scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (CSLDV) system to scan the whole surface of a rotating structure excited by a random force. A tracking CSLDV system tracks a rotating structure and sweep its laser spot on its surface. The measured response of the structure using the scan scheme of the tracking CSLDV system is considered as the response of the whole surface of the structure subject to random excitation. The measured response can be processed by operational modal analysis (OMA) methods (e.g., an improved lifting method, an improved demodulation method, an improved 2D demodulation method). Damped natural frequencies of the rotating structure are estimated from the fast Fourier transform of the measured response. Undamped full-field mode shapes are estimated by multiplying the measured response using sinusoids whose frequencies are estimated damped natural frequencies.

ABSTRACT A neural network architecture is used that reduces the processing load of implementing the neural network. This network architecture may thus be used for reduced-bit processing devices. The architecture may limit the number of bits used for processing and reduce processing to prevent data overflow at individual calculations of the neural network. To implement this architecture, the number of bits used to represent inputs at levels of the network and the related filter masks may also be modified to ensure the number of bits of the output does not overflow the resulting capacity of the reduced-bit processor. To additionally reduce the load for such a network, the network may implement a “starconv” structure that permits the incorporation of nearby nodes in a layer to balance processing requirements and permit the network to learn from context of other nodes.

ABSTRACT An approach for pose estimation is disclosed that can mitigate the effect of occlusions. A POse Relation Transformer (PORT) module is configured to reconstruct occluded joints given the visible joints utilizing joint correlations by capturing the implicit joint occlusions. The PORT module captures the global context of the pose using self-attention and a local context by aggregating adjacent joint features. To train the PORT module to learn joint correlations, joints are randomly masked and the PORT module learns to reconstruct the masked joints, referred to as Masked Joint Modeling (MJM). Notably, the PORT module is a model-agnostic plug-in for pose refinement under occlusion that can be plugged into any existing or future keypoint detector with substantially low computational costs.

ABSTRACT A partner-assisted artificial selection (PAAS) approach, in which an assisting population acts as an intermediate to create feedback from the function of interest to the fitness of the producer. The selection for improved growth in this approach successfully leads to improved degradation performance, even in the presence of other sources of stochasticity. Successful implementation of PAAS evolves improved functions of interest such as detoxification of harmful compounds.

ABSTRACT Rare earth elements (REEs) play an essential role in our modern society, being critical resources for the growing electronic devices and renewable energy technologies. For the reversible capture and release of REEs, we designed and synthesized a redox-copolymer poly(ferrocenylpropyl methacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (P(FPMAm-co-MAA)) that combines an ion-exchange carboxylic acid group for REE adsorption, and an redox-active ferrocene moiety for electrochemical regeneration. By molecularly tuning the copolymer composition, efficient adsorption uptake could be achieved alongside electrochemically regenerated adsorbent reuse. The copolymer sorbent showed stoichiometric binding for yttrium (Y), cerium (Ce), neodymium (Nd), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), and dysprosium (Dy) based on carboxylic acid active site.

ABSTRACT A computer-implemented method for online calibration of power system model against a power system includes iteratively approximating the power system model, at sequential optimization steps, around a moving design point defined by parameter values of a set of calibration parameters of the power system model. At each optimization step, an approximated system model is used to transform a dynamic input signal into a model output signal, which is compared with measurement signals obtained from measurement devices installed in the power system that define an actual power system output signal generated in response to the dynamic input signal. Parameter values of the calibration parameters adjusted in a direction to minimize an error between the model output signal and the actual power system output signal. The power system model is calibrated against the power system based on resulting optimal values of the calibration parameters.

ABSTRACT A pixelated electronic sensor is disclosed for imaging from infra-red to ultraviolet wavelengths, composed of a CMOS integrated circuit plus layers of nano-materials monolithically integrated via low temperature post-processing. Co-design, simulation, and integration methods for the device are described. Each pixel has color-resolved single photon sensitivity without dark counts and without inefficiency. The device operates at temperatures above 70° Kelvin. Current state of the art imagers that can color-resolve single photons are of bolometric or filter type. Bolometric devices must operate at temperature below 1° Kelvin and are limited to few pixels. Devices that use filters are inefficient as all the photons rejected by a filter are wasted. Single photon imagers that operate at non-cryogenic temperature (like Silicon Photomultipliers) have large dark counts typically measured in MHz/cm2. Imaging applications include astronomical telescopes, exoplanet imaging, distant galaxy imaging, microscopic imaging, medical devices, and hyperspectral imaging.

ABSTRACT Maize is vital to both US agriculture and the economy. The US provides over half of the maize global market. In the US, field maize production is a $75B endeavor and comprises 95% of the total US grain production. Worldwide there is a net loss of 16 million tons of maize due to aflatoxin contamination. In the US alone, aflatoxin contamination of food/feed results in an estimated $52M-$1.68B agricultural loss every year. Aflatoxin contamination in crops, and subsequently livestock, threatens greater agricultural development, food security and human health. Elimination of aflatoxin is a critical economic and health issue in the US. The present invention features composition and methods for the degradation of aflatoxin in crops post-harvest.

ABSTRACT A partner-assisted artificial selection (PAAS) approach, in which an assisting population acts as an intermediate to create feedback from the function of interest to the fitness of the producer. The selection for improved growth in this approach successfully leads to improved degradation performance, even in the presence of other sources of stochasticity. Successful implementation of PAAS evolves improved functions of interest such as detoxification of harmful compounds.

ABSTRACT A structure fabricated of a zeolite-based paste with an intra-layer continuous wire embedded is disclosed. Vitally, the continuous wire is extended past the bounds of the structure's walls, creating bare wire leads that allow for connection to a power source for electrification. The structure is made of multiple layers stacked together, typically in an additive manufacturing (3D printing) process. Within this structure, at least one layer has an embedded wire running through at least some portion of it, and is equipped with two bare wire leads protruding from the structure. This wire is designed to act as a heating element for uniform Joule heating of the zeolite structure for reduced power consumption and temperature ramp-up time during a desorption process, as well as reduced system footprint and enhanced mechanical properties. The frequency of wire embedment (a wire embedded in every nth layer), the percentage of the embedded layer that contains the wire, and the wire gauge and material/composition can be modified for the desired application.

ABSTRACT A neural network architecture is used that reduces the processing load of implementing the neural network. This network architecture may thus be used for reduced-bit processing devices. The architecture may limit the number of bits used for processing and reduce processing to prevent data overflow at individual calculations of the neural network. To implement this architecture, the number of bits used to represent inputs at levels of the network and the related filter masks may also be modified to ensure the number of bits of the output does not overflow the resulting capacity of the reduced-bit processor. To additionally reduce the load for such a network, the network may implement a “starconv” structure that permits the incorporation of nearby nodes in a layer to balance processing requirements and permit the network to learn from context of other nodes.

ABSTRACT One example includes a superconducting circuit chip. The chip includes superconducting circuitry that operates based on a clock signal. The chip also includes a ring oscillator configured to receive a synchronization signal from a ring oscillator associated with another superconducting circuit chip. The ring oscillator is also configured to provide a trigger signal to the superconducting circuitry at a given phase of the clock signal relative to a phase of the clock signal of a trigger signal associated with the other one of the superconducting circuit chips based on the synchronization signal.

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, September 05, 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:

https://wayfinder.digital/fedinvent/patents-2022/fedinvent-applications-20240905.html

Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
