| ABSTRACT | A computerized system and method of modeling myocardial tissue perfusion can include acquiring a plurality of original frames of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data representing images of a heart of a subject and developing a manually segmented set of ground truth frames from the original frames. Applying training augmentation techniques to a training set of the originals frame of MRI data can prepare the data for training at least one convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN can segment the training set of frames according to the ground truth frames. Applying the respective input test frames to a trained CNN can allow for segmenting an endocardium layer and an epicardium layer within the respective images of the input test frames. The segmented images can be used in calculating myocardial blood flow into the myocardium from segmented images of the input test frames. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided herein are methods for treating, reducing and/or ameliorating symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a subject, where at least one measure of social impairment, anxiety, or repetitive behaviors is treated and/or ameliorated. Aspects include intranasally administering arginine vasopressin (AVP), or an analog of vasopressin, to a subject (e.g., a child between 6 and 12 years of age and having endogenous pre-treatment levels between about 0.045 and about 4.028 pg/mL, where the mean was 1.324 pg/mL). In children having high pre-treatment blood levels of AVP (e.g., about 25% or more above the mean pre-treatment AVP blood levels of the treatment group; or having pre-treatment blood vasopressin levels greater than 1.324 pg/mL), the treatment was enhanced. Because no difference in pre-treatment blood AVP levels was observed between control and ASD subjects, it was surprising that AVP treatment was more effective in subjects having high pre-treatment AVP levels. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods are provided for the isolation and analysis of circular DNA from complex samples, based on the topology of the DNA molecule. A sample comprising DNA species is combined with a chaotropic dense salt solution. A fraction containing the circular DNA of interest is isolated and dialyzed to remove excess salt. In some embodiments salt gradients are generated by ultracentrifugation in the absence of intercalating dyes, e.g. ethidium bromide; and in the absence of protease digestion. The circular DNA thus isolated is substantially pure, e.g. greater than about 75%, greater than about 80%, greater than about 90%, greater than about 95% of DNA in the isolated fraction is comprised of circular DNA. |

| ABSTRACT | An imaging system is configured with an autofocus operation that refocuses multiple cameras of the imaging system on detected features of interest, instead of on the whole image of the sample. Focus measures are calculated on the detected features, and then aggregated to focus distances of actuator moving the camera array, the sample stage, or individual cameras based on a maximization of detected features to be in focus. After the refocus, the imaging system recaptures new images and analyzes features on the new images to generate statistical characterization of the sample based on the classification of the features. |

| ABSTRACT | In some implementations, a user interface for designing a health management module is provided by a server system. The user interface identifies a plurality of health management templates. The server system initially receives data indicating a user input received through the user interface that selects one of the plurality of module templates. The server system also receives customization parameters that customize the selected module template for a particular organization. The server system then generates a customized health management module for the particular organization based on the selected template and the customization parameters. The server system finally publishes the customized health management module for the particular organization that includes instructions configuring an application provided by a third-party application store. |

| ABSTRACT | A spectrally multiplexed quantum repeater (SMuQR) based on spatially arrayed nodes of frequency-multiplexed multi-qubit registers uses the natural inhomogeneous distribution of optical transition frequencies in solid state defect centers. This distribution enables spectrally selective, individual addressing of large numbers of defect centers within an optical diffraction limited spot along a long cavity or waveguide. The spectral selection relies on frequency shifting an incident optical field at a rate as fast as once per defect center lifetime. The defect centers are resonant at visible frequencies and emit visible single photons which are down-converted to a wavelength compatible with long-distance transmission via conventional optical fiber. The down-converted photons are all at the same telecommunications wavelength, with the different spectral bins mapped to different temporal bins to preserve the multiplexing in the time domain, for distribution to other nodes in the quantum network. |

| ABSTRACT | Rigid wall shelters are used throughout the world for shipping, living quarters, and housing for electronic systems and are energy inefficient. While investigating energy-efficient technologies for rigid wall shelters the discovery was made to insulate the outside of the shelter rather than the inside. Space is often limited inside of the shelter. The invention of an external, re-deployable insulation system was developed. The present invention is an insulating system composed of three main components. The first component is multiple, purpose cut flexible envelopes filled with insulating materials (which creates a panel). The second component is multiple insulating strips that cover the joint between the panels. The final component is a weatherproof outer covering that protects the entire system from the elements. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are apparatus and methods for sensing and measurement of magnetic fields that are insensitive to temperature, and respond linearly to the magnitude of the magnetic field. In particular, the apparatus and methods include the use of a resistance network including at least one fluorinated graphene foam (FGF) magnetoresistive device. Measurement of a voltage drop across at least one FGF magnetoresistive device is correlated to either merely the presence of a magnetic field or for measurement of at least a scalar magnitude value of the magnetic field. The use of FGF affords both temperature-insensitivity and linear magnetic field responsivity. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, device configurations, and processes are provided for navigation and determination of navigation observables based on low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite signals. A method for navigation includes using differential carrier phase measurement of LEO signals including correction of position estimates using integer ambiguity resolution and double difference carrier phase determinations. Frameworks described herein can use a computationally efficient integer ambiguity resolution to reduce the size of the integer least squares (ILS) determination. The framework may include a joint probability density function (pdf) of the megaconstellation LEO satellites' azimuth and elevation angle to characterize a LEO system. Embodiments are also directed to correction of ambiguities of carrier phase differential (CD)-low Earth orbit (LEO) (CD-LEO) measurements that may utilize a base and a rover without requiring prior knowledge of rover position. |

| ABSTRACT | Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for mapping point-to-point channels to packet virtual channels. A chip with an point-to-point interface converts point-to-point data to a packet format. The point-to-point channels are mapped to virtual channels of the packet transmission protocol. Information from multiple point-to-point channels may be combined in a single packet. Among the benefits of implementations of the present disclosure is that point-to-point devices may be connected to a packetized network without losing the benefits of separate channels for different types of communication. This allows existing point-to-point devices to communicate using a packetized network without internal modification or performance degradation. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention pertains to methods for monitoring the operational status of a home automation system through extrinsic visual and audible means. Initial training periods involve capturing image and audio data representative of nominal operation, which is then processed to identify operational indicators. Unsupervised machine learning models are trained with these indicators to construct a model of normalcy and identify expectation violations in the system's operational pattern. After meeting specific stopping criteria, real-time monitoring is initiated. When an expectation violation is detected, contrastive collages or sequences are generated comprising nominal and anomalous data. These are then transmitted to an end user, effectively conveying the context of the detected anomalies. Further features include providing deep links to smartphone applications for home automation configuration and the use of auditory scene analysis techniques. The invention provides a multi-modal approach to home automation monitoring, leveraging machine learning for robust anomaly detection. |

| ABSTRACT | A spectrally multiplexed quantum repeater (SMuQR) based on spatially arrayed nodes of frequency-multiplexed multi-qubit registers uses the natural inhomogeneous distribution of optical transition frequencies in solid state defect centers. This distribution enables spectrally selective, individual addressing of large numbers of defect centers within an optical diffraction limited spot along a long cavity or waveguide. The spectral selection relies on frequency shifting an incident optical field at a rate as fast as once per defect center lifetime. The defect centers are resonant at visible frequencies and emit visible single photons which are down-converted to a wavelength compatible with long-distance transmission via conventional optical fiber. The down-converted photons are all at the same telecommunications wavelength, with the different spectral bins mapped to different temporal bins to preserve the multiplexing in the time domain, for distribution to other nodes in the quantum network. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for allocating radio access network (RAN) spectrum resources among a plurality of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) of a network of base stations. The methods and systems include determining a slicing enforcement policy that assigns resource blocks (RBs) of frequency units and time slots of spectrum resources to each MVNO according to a slicing policy in which each MVNO is allocated an amount of the spectrum resources on at least one base station in a determined time span. The slicing enforcement policy minimizes overlap between each MVNO's set of RBs with another MVNO's set of RBs on a same base station, and interference between each MVNO's set of RBs with another MVNO's set of RBs on an interfering base station. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for an improved material flow through an extrusion machine by altering the material properties in a magnetic field are provided. The electromagnetic extrusion system includes a ram that is moved into a chamber containing an extrusion material to force the extrusion material out of an opening defined, at least in part, by a die to create an extrusion with a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the predetermined shape of the opening. An electromagnetic winding of electrically conductive material is embedded within a tool retainer block surrounding the container and is helically wound about the chamber and carries a DC electrical current to generate a magnetic field having a magnetic flux density of at least 2 Tesla within the extrusion material to dissipate dislocation defect structures in the extrusion material being extruded via the magnetoplasticity effect. The magnetic field therefore provides for reduced flow stress on the tooling. |

| ABSTRACT | A system comprising a nonlinear medium (NLM), an optical transduction module, a dual homodyne detector and a processor is provided. The NLM receives at least a pump beam and issues the pump, probe and conjugate beams, where the beams are linearly polarized. Optics route the probe, the conjugate or both beams to the sample. The sample imparts polarization rotation to light that interacts therewith. The optical transduction module imparts to the interacted light an optical phase shift that is a 1:1 transduction of the polarization rotation, where at least one of the probe light or the conjugate light carries the imparted optical phase shift. The processor obtains the optical-phase shift based on respective detection signals from the dual homodyne detector and determines, based on the obtained optical-phase shift, at least one of a Faraday polarization rotation, a Kerr polarization rotation or a spin noise spectrum. |

| ABSTRACT | A high-power pulsed surface processing system includes insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) to replicate desirable pulse structures with high precision, at low cost, and with high reliability within a single system. The pulsed surface processing system includes a power supply, an anode and a cathode, a dual gate driver supplying power to one or more IGBT gates, and one or more capacitor banks. Pulse formation software controls the timing and duration of electrical pulses to the electrodes. A freewheeling diode protects the system from an abrupt reduction of current in the circuit. The high-power pulsed surface processing system may be used to control versatile and complex pulse structures while with precise control of instantaneous pulse powers, pulse timing, and process control. The inclusion of dual gate drivers also offers the ability for multiple pulsers to be created and “slaved” together for a wide variety of custom processes. |

| ABSTRACT | Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) usually crystallize as insoluble powders and their processing for suitable devices has been thought to be limited. Here, it is demonstrated that COFs can be mechanically pressed into shaped objects having anisotropic ordering with preferred orientation between the hk0 and 00l crystallographic planes. Pellets prepared from bulk COF powders impregnated with LiClO4 displayed room temperature conductivity up to 0.26 mS cm−1 and stability up to 10.0 V (vs. Li+/Li0). This outcome portends use of COFs as solid-state electrolytes in batteries. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, device configurations, and processes are provided for navigation and determination of navigation observables based on low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite signals. A method for navigation includes using differential carrier phase measurement of LEO signals including correction of position estimates using integer ambiguity resolution and double difference carrier phase determinations. Frameworks described herein can use a computationally efficient integer ambiguity resolution to reduce the size of the integer least squares (ILS) determination. The framework may include a joint probability density function (pdf) of the megaconstellation LEO satellites' azimuth and elevation angle to characterize a LEO system. Embodiments are also directed to correction of ambiguities of carrier phase differential (CD)-low Earth orbit (LEO) (CD-LEO) measurements that may utilize a base and a rover without requiring prior knowledge of rover position. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention pertains to methods for monitoring the operational status of a home automation system through extrinsic visual and audible means. Initial training periods involve capturing image and audio data representative of nominal operation, which is then processed to identify operational indicators. Unsupervised machine learning models are trained with these indicators to construct a model of normalcy and identify expectation violations in the system's operational pattern. After meeting specific stopping criteria, real-time monitoring is initiated. When an expectation violation is detected, contrastive collages or sequences are generated comprising nominal and anomalous data. These are then transmitted to an end user, effectively conveying the context of the detected anomalies. Further features include providing deep links to smartphone applications for home automation configuration and the use of auditory scene analysis techniques. The invention provides a multi-modal approach to home automation monitoring, leveraging machine learning for robust anomaly detection. |

| ABSTRACT | Cathode material from exhausted lithium ion batteries are dissolved in a solution for extracting the useful elements Co (cobalt), Ni (nickel), Al (Aluminum) and Mn (manganese) to produce active cathode materials for new batteries. The solution includes compounds of desirable materials such as cobalt, nickel, aluminum and manganese dissolved as compounds from the exhausted cathode material of spent cells. Depending on a desired proportion, or ratio, of the desired materials, raw materials are added to the solution to achieve the desired ratio of the commingled compounds for the recycled cathode material for new cells. The desired materials precipitate out of solution without extensive heating or separation of the desired materials into individual compounds or elements. The resulting active cathode material has the predetermined ratio for use in new cells, and avoids high heat typically required to separate the useful elements because the desired materials remain commingled in solution. |

| ABSTRACT | A spectrally multiplexed quantum repeater (SMuQR) based on spatially arrayed nodes of frequency-multiplexed multi-qubit registers uses the natural inhomogeneous distribution of optical transition frequencies in solid state defect centers. This distribution enables spectrally selective, individual addressing of large numbers of defect centers within an optical diffraction limited spot along a long cavity or waveguide. The spectral selection relies on frequency shifting an incident optical field at a rate as fast as once per defect center lifetime. The defect centers are resonant at visible frequencies and emit visible single photons which are down-converted to a wavelength compatible with long-distance transmission via conventional optical fiber. The down-converted photons are all at the same telecommunications wavelength, with the different spectral bins mapped to different temporal bins to preserve the multiplexing in the time domain, for distribution to other nodes in the quantum network. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for allocating radio access network (RAN) spectrum resources among a plurality of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) of a network of base stations. The methods and systems include determining a slicing enforcement policy that assigns resource blocks (RBs) of frequency units and time slots of spectrum resources to each MVNO according to a slicing policy in which each MVNO is allocated an amount of the spectrum resources on at least one base station in a determined time span. The slicing enforcement policy minimizes overlap between each MVNO's set of RBs with another MVNO's set of RBs on a same base station, and interference between each MVNO's set of RBs with another MVNO's set of RBs on an interfering base station. |

| ABSTRACT | A distributed data acquisition system comprising multiple, physically unconnected, data acquisition units that can be in wireless communication with a remote host, timestamps measurement data with sub-microsecond time base accuracy of sampling clock relative to an absolute timeframe. Each unit has a GPS receiver for deriving an absolute time. An analog-to-digital converter samples measurement data using a sampling clock. A hardware logic circuit, such as a field programmable gate array, associates batches of the measurement data with corresponding timestamps representing the current absolute time. A time offset bias may be compensated by a comparison of timestamps with nominal time based on start time and nominal sampling rate. Additionally, the sampling clock may be synchronized using time pulses from the GPS receiver. An initial start of ADC sampling by all data acquisition units may be also synchronized. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods are provided for the isolation and analysis of circular DNA from complex samples, based on the topology of the DNA molecule. A sample comprising DNA species is combined with a chaotropic dense salt solution. A fraction containing the circular DNA of interest is isolated and dialyzed to remove excess salt. In some embodiments salt gradients are generated by ultracentrifugation in the absence of intercalating dyes, e.g. ethidium bromide; and in the absence of protease digestion. The circular DNA thus isolated is substantially pure, e.g. greater than about 75%, greater than about 80%, greater than about 90%, greater than about 95% of DNA in the isolated fraction is comprised of circular DNA. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for automated routing of people and materials from one location to another based on automated vehicle technology are applied to bus transit, ridesharing and car sharing, and on multiple modes of delivery, including rail, water, road and air. An optimal transit algorithm uses Degree of Circuity (DOC) and Maximum Degree of Circuity (Max DOC) to refine transit network design and scheduling. Max DOC and computed shortest travel times are used to define the maximum acceptable travel time for each passenger or package. Using those maximum acceptable travel times for passengers and/or packages as constraints, optimal routings are developed for each primary transport hub, using a Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm. The SA algorithm may be used as a basis for optimal flexible feeder bus routing, which considers relocation of buses for multiple primary transport hubs and multiple primary transport vehicles. |

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, April 09, 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.

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.
