| ABSTRACT | This document describes systems and method of embedded printing for additive manufacturing. A print material is printed into a support material. The print material and the support material each have a fluid phase and a solid phase. The print material transitions from the fluid phase to the solid phase based on a fluid-fluid interaction with the support material. One or more parameters of the support material can be adjusted to cause a diffusion rate of the print material into the support material during the fluid-fluid interaction to be less than a threshold value. Multiple print materials can be printed into the support material simultaneously. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects of the disclosure relate to a gene therapy approach for diseases, disorders, or conditions caused by mutation in the stop codon utilizing modified tRNA. At least 10-15% of all genetic diseases, including muscular dystrophy (e.g. Duchene muscular dystrophy), some cancers, beta thalassemia, Hurler syndrome, and cystic fibrosis, fall into this category. Not to be bound by theory, it is believed that this approach is safer than CRISPR approaches due to minimal off-target effects and the lack of genome level changes. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of screening a test compound, e.g., a fibrosis or IPF inhibitor, for induction of an unjammed-to-jammed transition (UJT) in fibrotic primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) isolated from a subject with a fibrotic lung disease includes culturing the fibrotic primary HBECs at an air-liquid interface for a time sufficient to provide a differentiated pseudostratified epithelium contacting the cultured cells with the test compound; and monitoring the motility of the cultured cells to identify the cultured cells as moving or stationary; wherein stationary cultured cells indicate that the test compound induces the UJT. Also included are methods of identifying lung fibrosis biomarkers. |

| ABSTRACT | Microwave photonic devices use light to carry and process microwave signals over a photonic link. Light can be used as a stimulus to microwave devices that directly control microwave signals. Previous optically controlled devices suffer from large footprint, high optical power level required for switching, lack of scalability and complex integration requirements, restricting their implementation in practical microwave systems. Disclosed are monolithic optically reconfigurable integrated microwave switches (MORIMSs) built on a CMOS compatible silicon photonic chip. The disclosed scalable micrometer-scale switches provide higher switching efficiency and operate using optical power that is orders of magnitude lower than previous devices. The disclosed devices and techniques provide examples of silicon photonic platforms integrating microwave circuitry. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and techniques are directed to a Swappable Retractable Tool Tip (SRTT), which is designed as a next generation of friction stir welding tools and retractable tool tips. The disclosed SRTT may be “swappable,” having different types of retractable tool tips that can be assembled and employed as a part of the SRTT. A SRTT system can include at least: a blank tool holder, a piston, and a retractable tool tip. In operation, the blank tool holder allows air to flow to cause movement of the piston and the retractable tool tip. For example, compressed air can push up on the piston and the retractable tool tip, retracting it into a “home” position inside of the blank tool holder. Also, the SRTT can include springs that push down on the piston and the retractable tool tip, extending the tip into an “extended” position outside of the blank tool holder. |

| 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 | The present disclosure defines a morphing airfoil having a dynamic flexible skin system that is capable of carrying high level aerodynamic (or fluid) pressure loads over a structural surface. The structural surface can morph and deflect in response to control inputs to change a lift force without separate movable control surfaces. The anisotropic skin is attached to underlying structure that is both actively controlled and passively supported. A control system causes the underlying support structure to move to a desired location which in turn causes the skin to bend and/or flex without exceeding a stress threshold and thus vary the lift profile along a span of the airfoil. |

| ABSTRACT | A binary code similarity detection system that compares a target binary code to a source code by comparing the target binary code to a comparing binary generated by compiling the source code. Rather than using a comparing binary generated using a random or fixed compiling configuration, the system identifies the compiling configuration of the target binary code and compares the target binary code to a comparing binary generated using the same compiling configuration as the target binary code. The compiling configuration of the target binary code may be identified by a neural network (e.g., a graph attention network trained on attributed function call graphs of binary codes with known compiling configurations). The target binary code and the comparing binary may be compared using a graph neural network (e.g., a graph triplet loss network) that compares attributed control flow graphs of the of the target binary code and the comparing binary. |

| ABSTRACT | Devices and techniques for programmable atomic operator resource locking are described herein. A request for a programmable atomic operator (PAO) can be received at a memory controller that includes a programmable atomic unit (PAU). Here, the request includes an identifier for the PAO and a memory address. The memory addressed is processed to identify a lock value. A verification can be performed to determine that the lock value indicates that there is no lock corresponding to the memory address. Then, the lock value is set to indicate that there is now a lock corresponding to the memory address and the PAO is invoked based on the identifier for the PAO. In response to completion of the PAO, the lock value is set to indicate that there is no longer a lock corresponding to the memory address. |

| ABSTRACT | Microwave photonic devices use light to carry and process microwave signals over a photonic link. Light can be used as a stimulus to microwave devices that directly control microwave signals. Previous optically controlled devices suffer from large footprint, high optical power level required for switching, lack of scalability and complex integration requirements, restricting their implementation in practical microwave systems. Disclosed are monolithic optically reconfigurable integrated microwave switches (MORIMSs) built on a CMOS compatible silicon photonic chip. The disclosed scalable micrometer-scale switches provide higher switching efficiency and operate using optical power that is orders of magnitude lower than previous devices. The disclosed devices and techniques provide examples of silicon photonic platforms integrating microwave circuitry. |

| ABSTRACT | The performance of quantum key distribution by systems and methods that use wavelength division multiplexing and encode information using both wavelength and polarization of photons of two or more wavelengths. Multi-wavelength polarization state encoding schemes allow ternary-coded digits, quaternary-coded digits and higher-radix digits to be represented by single photons. Information expressed in a first radix can be encoded in a higher radix and combined with a string of key values to produce a datastream having all allowed digit values of that radix in a manner that allows eavesdropping to be detected without requiring the sender and receiver to exchange additional information after transmission of the information. |

| ABSTRACT | In various aspects, the present invention is directed to novel bioactive peptide loaded poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF) tissue scaffolds and related methods for their making and use. In various embodiments, these bioactive peptide loaded poly(propylene fumarate) tissue scaffolds are formed by forming a PPF structure or matrix using photochemical 3-D printing techniques and then loading that printed PPF structure or matrix with a bioactive peptides or other bioactive compounds that have, or have been functionalized to have, a thiol functional group at or near its terminus. The thiol groups on the bioactive peptides or other compound will react with exposed alkene functional groups on the PPF polymer matrix via a thiol-ene “click” reaction, thereby binding these bioactive peptides or other compounds to the tissue scaffolds. The bioactive peptide loaded PPF tissue scaffolds of the present invention are particularly useful in repairing bone defects. |

| ABSTRACT | A binary code similarity detection system that compares a target binary code to a source code by comparing the target binary code to a comparing binary generated by compiling the source code. Rather than using a comparing binary generated using a random or fixed compiling configuration, the system identifies the compiling configuration of the target binary code and compares the target binary code to a comparing binary generated using the same compiling configuration as the target binary code. The compiling configuration of the target binary code may be identified by a neural network (e.g., a graph attention network trained on attributed function call graphs of binary codes with known compiling configurations). The target binary code and the comparing binary may be compared using a graph neural network (e.g., a graph triplet loss network) that compares attributed control flow graphs of the of the target binary code and the comparing binary. |

| ABSTRACT | Microwave photonic devices use light to carry and process microwave signals over a photonic link. Light can be used as a stimulus to microwave devices that directly control microwave signals. Previous optically controlled devices suffer from large footprint, high optical power level required for switching, lack of scalability and complex integration requirements, restricting their implementation in practical microwave systems. Disclosed are monolithic optically reconfigurable integrated microwave switches (MORIMSs) built on a CMOS compatible silicon photonic chip. The disclosed scalable micrometer-scale switches provide higher switching efficiency and operate using optical power that is orders of magnitude lower than previous devices. The disclosed devices and techniques provide examples of silicon photonic platforms integrating microwave circuitry. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for controlling a material extrusion device to extrude a filament of an ink are provided. An extrusion printing control system collects from one or more sensors measurements representing an internal state of material extrusion processing during extrusion of the filament. In addition, the system collects an image of the filament as the filament is extruded. The system applies a classifier to the collected image to generate an image-derived state characterizing the filament. Based on the internal state and the image-derived state, the system estimates a derived state using a model. The system determines control parameters using the model to achieve a desired quality of the filament by minimizing a cost function based on the internal state, the image-derived state, the derived state, and constraints of the material extrusion device. Finally, the system provides the control parameters to a controller of the material extrusion device. |

| ABSTRACT | An engine component comprises one or more thermal barrier coatings applied to one or more areas of the engine component. The thermal barrier coatings reduce the temperature rate of change of the areas to which the thermal barrier coating is applied. Reducing the temperature rate of change can help reduce lattice structure damage caused by different temperatures in different areas of the engine component. The thermal barrier coating can be applied as a monolithic layer on a surface of the engine component or can be applied in different areas using patterns. The patterns allow for the tuning of the performance characteristics (temperature rate of change) of the areas of the engine component and can help reduce defect propagation, such as cracks, in the thermal barrier coating from one area of the thermal barrier coating to other areas of the thermal barrier coating. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to a system for sensing temperature changes on a microsecond scale. The system uses a multi-channel pyrometer that works in the NIR spectrum to receive thermal radiation. Each channel includes an interference filter tuned to pass thermal radiation within a specified wavelength range, and a detector. Each detector detects thermal radiation focused on it. Each channel further includes an interference filter which reflects thermal radiation which does not pass through it to a subsequent downstream interference filter of a subsequent channel. Each subsequent interference filter is oriented to reflect the thermal radiation not passing through it to a next downstream one of the subsequent interference filters. A subsystem is included for receiving the output from the detectors and determining sensed temperature data therefrom, allowing measurement of temperatures down to 800 K. |

| ABSTRACT | An elongate fuel element is described that has a silicon carbide cladding enclosing a fuel, such as UO2, wherein the fuel is dimensioned relative to the cladding to define gaps at each lateral end of the enclosure sufficiently large such that upon swelling in use, the fuel does not increase the strain on the cladding beyond the limits of the claddings strain tolerance. The lateral gaps at the ends of the fuel allow lateral expansion during swelling that reduces the strain on the cladding. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for Energy Storage-based Packetized Delivery of Electricity (ES-PDE) are disclosed that are radically different from the operation of today's grid. Using ES-PDE, the loads are powered by the energy storage systems (ESS) the majority of the time and only receive packets of electricity periodically to charge the ESSs. Therefore, the grid operators can schedule the delivery of electricity packets to utilize the existing grid infrastructure. Since the customers are powered by the co-located ESSs they are not impacted by the grid operation in short term. Therefore, when grid outages occur, the customers still have power for some time, giving the grid more time to be fully restored. |

| ABSTRACT | Foams and methods of fabricating and using the same are provided. The foams can be three-dimensional (3D), free-standing, and/or rigid and can be used as, for example, nanofiller networks. The shape and size of the foam pore interconnected network can be tailorable/tailored. The foams can be, for example, hybrid one-dimensional (1D)/two-dimensional (2D) foams of 1D and 2D materials (e.g., hybrid boron nitride nanotube (BNNT)/boron nitride nanoplatelet (BNNP) foams). A freeze-drying-based method can be used to fabricate bulk porous foam, which can be used for, e.g., nanofiller for polymer nanocomposites. |

| ABSTRACT | CERMET fuel element includes a fuel meat of consolidated ceramic fuel particles (preferably refractory-metal coated HALEU fuel kernels) and an array of axially-oriented coolant flow channels. Formation and lateral positions of coolant flow channels in the fuel meat are controlled during manufacturing by spacer structures that include ceramic fuel particles. In one embodiment, a coating on a sacrificial rod (the rod being subsequently removed) forms the coolant channel and the spacer structures are affixed to the coating; in a second embodiment, a metal tube forms the coolant channel and the spacer structures are affixed to the metal tube. The spacer structures laterally position the coolant channels in spaced-apart relation and are consolidated with the ceramic fuel particles to form CERMET fuel meat of a fuel element, which are subsequently incorporated into fuel assemblies that are distributively arranged in a moderator block within a nuclear fission reactor, in particular for propulsion. |

| ABSTRACT | In general, this disclosure describes techniques for replacing target cryptographic primitives in executable binary files with other, potentially more secure, cryptographic primitives. In some examples, a computing system for augmenting cryptographic executables includes a locator to determine if an executable program in an executable binary file includes a target cryptographic primitive. The computing system can include a patch generator to generate patch instructions in response to a determination by the locator that the executable program includes the target cryptographic primitive. The patch instructions cause the executable program to execute a replacement cryptographic primitive instead of the target cryptographic primitive. A rewriter engine of the computing system can modify, based on the patch instructions, the executable program to generate a modified executable binary file. |

How To Use This Page
THE FEDINVENT PATENT 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 Tuesday, March 19, 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 as it appears on the patent.
FILED
The date of 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 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.
