| ABSTRACT | A non-mydriatic, non-contact ultra-widefield fundus (u-WF) photographic imaging system and method are provided for performing u-WF photographic imaging of the eye. The non-mydriatic, non-contact u-WF photographic imaging system includes an illumination system that delivers trans-pars-planar illumination to the eyeball. This frees the entire pupil to be used for imaging. Freeing the entire pupil to be used for imaging allows a u-WFC of the non-mydriatic, non-contact u-WF photographic imaging system to use a relatively simple optics system to capture an ultra-wide FOV. Eliminating the need to dilate the pupil and the need to make contact with the eye while performing imaging eliminates the many problems associated with mydriatic, contact-mode fundus imaging systems and methods. In addition, the system can be implemented in a way that makes it highly suitable for telemedicine applications in underserved areas where clinics and trained healthcare providers may not be available. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure describes systems, devices, and techniques for training neural networks to identify avascular and signal reduction areas of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) images and for using trained neural networks. By identifying signal reduction areas in OCTA images, the avascular areas can be detected with high accuracy, even when the OCTA images include artifacts and other types of noise. Accordingly, various implementations described herein can accurately identify avascular areas from real-world clinical OCTA images. In various implementations, a method can include identifying images of retinas. The images may include thickness images, reflectance intensity maps, and OCTA images of the retinas. Avascular maps corresponding to the OCTA images can be identified. A neural network can be trained based on the images and the avascular maps. |

| ABSTRACT | Laser-Speckle Contrast imaging apparatus configured to assess and quantify motion associated with an object and, in a specific case of an eye—retinal vascular anatomy and hemodynamics and generate substantially contrast-free maps of retinal blood flow over a wide field-of-view at up to 590 fps and under short exposure durations (>50 μs), is applicable for diagnosis, study, and management of neurodegenerative conditions (i.e. mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease) and systemic cardiovascular diseases (i.e. athero- and arteriosclerosis, coronary artery occlusion, and hypertension). The apparatus employs a) a set of apertures substantially blocking light, delivered from a source of light to an illumination arm of the apparatus, from impinging onto an axial point of the front surface of the lens of the illumination arm, and b) polarization gating between the illumination and light-collecting arms of the apparatus. In one implementation, the apparatus is configured to allow for irradiation of the object with an optical field a degree of coherence and/or spectral content of which are varied delivered through the same optical train including the set of apertures. |

| ABSTRACT | Bacterial pathogens have evolved means to succeed as pathogens by infecting without recognition by receptors triggering innate immunity, by suppressing induction of immunity and by inducing immune responses to antigens that confer no protectives immunity. Embodiments described herein circumvent these abilities in Salmonella so as to provide a vector system that induces maximal protective immune responses. Another major problem in using live attenuated bacterial vaccine vectors is the accumulation of attenuating mutations that confer a virulence and safety but which decrease the ability of the vaccine to invade cells in the MALT to colonize and persist in internal effector lymphoid tissues. The embodiments disclosed herein solve this problem in multiple ways by using regulated delayed in vivo shut off of virulence genes, regulated delayed synthesis of recombinant protective antigens and regulated delayed lysis in vivo to confer biological containment with no persistence of vaccine cells and no survival if excreted. |

| ABSTRACT | Fluidic devices and related methods are generally provided. The fluidic devices described herein may be useful, for example, for diagnostic purposes (e.g., detection of the presence of one or more disease causing bacteria in a patient sample). Unlike certain existing fluidic devices for diagnostic purposes, the fluidic devices and methods described herein may be useful for detecting the presence of numerous disease causing bacteria in a patient sample substantially simultaneously (e.g., in parallel). In some embodiments, the fluidic devices and methods described herein provide highly sensitive detection of microbes in relatively large fluidic samples (e.g., between 0.5 mL and about 5 mL), as compared to certain existing fluidic detection (e.g., microfluidic) devices and methods. In an exemplary embodiment, increased detection sensitivity of microbial pathogens present in a patient sample (e.g., blood) is performed by selectively removing human nucleic acid prior to sensitive detection of microbial infection. In some embodiments, the fluidic device allows for the identification of microbial pathogens directly from unprocessed blood without having to conduct blood culturing processes. |

| ABSTRACT | Gas sensors are disclosed having an on-board, low-power data processor that uses multivariable gas classification and/or gas quantitation models to perform on-board data processing to resolve two or more gases in a fluid sample. To reduce computational complexity, the gas sensor utilizes low-power-consumption multivariable data analysis algorithms, inputs from available on-board sensors of ambient conditions, inputs representing contextual data, and/or excitation responses of a gas sensing material to select suitable gas classification and/or gas quantitation models. The data processor can then utilize these gas classification and quantitation models, in combination with measured dielectric responses of a gas sensing material of the gas sensor, to determine classifications and/or concentrations of two or more gases in a fluid sample, while consuming substantially less power than would be consumed if a global comprehensive model were used instead. Thus, the data processor is utilized for linear, nonlinear, and non-monotonic multivariate regressions. |

| ABSTRACT | The inventors surprisingly found that neural stimulation caused the synthesis and degradation of proteins into peptides which were then secreted into the cell media within minutes of stimulation by a novel neural-specific and membrane bound proteasome (neuronal membrane proteasome or NMP) that is transmembrane in nature. These secreted, activity-induced, proteasomal peptides (SNAPPs) range in size from about 500 Daltons to about 3000 Daltons. Surprisingly none of the peptides appear to be those previously known to have any neuronal function. Moreover, these SNAPPs have stimulatory activity and are heretofore a new class of signaling molecules. Moreover, the NMP appears to play a highly significant role in aspects of neuronal signaling known to be critical for neuronal function. The inventors have gone on to develop all tools to study this novel mechanisms including protocols and practice for generation and purification of SNAPPs as well as a new and specific inhibitor of the NMP allowing for selective control of this process in the nervous system. The present invention provides methods of making and using these SNAPPs for both laboratory and clinical purposes, the screening for molecules which modulate NMP function in vivo and in vitro, and methods for diagnosis of NMP related diseases. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to a firearm projectile capable of releasing a secondary payload mid-flight through a pyrotechnic timing mechanism. Once the firearm is fired, the powder in the casing pushes out the projectile as a typical round. In addition, the powder ignites the delay column. The formulation and amount of delay pyrotechnics determines the delay time. When the delay column is burned, the final portion ignites an expelling charge. The expelling charge builds pressure in the projectile casing and separates the base plug from the main projectile housing. The expelling assembly pushes out the secondary payload out the rear of the projectile. Although the payload exits the rear of the projectile at minimum velocity, the net velocity of the payload is still in the forward direction. |

| ABSTRACT | Fully artificial, adaptive composite materials and systems, having variable transmittance, reflectance, and/or absorptance to radiation in visible, infrared, or other desired region of the electromagnetic spectrum, and methods of the manufacture and use thereof are provided. The adaptive composite materials and systems possess an unprecedented combination of properties and are, therefore, poised to enable a broad range of practical applications. The adaptive composite material incorporates at least one size-variable active area having a variable transmittance, reflectance, and/or absorptance in at least a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and comprises at least: an elastomer substrate, a texturizing layer disposed on top of the substrate, and an optional reflective coating disposed on top of the texturizing layer. In operation, the stretching and relaxation of the elastomer substrate causes changes in the surface morphology of the texturized layers (e.g., the change in the size and depth of surface features in the texturizing layer), this in turn results in the increased or decreased transmittivity, reflectivity, and/or absorptivity of the active area. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is a natural language processing pipeline that analyzes and processes a corpus of textual data to automatically create a knowledge graph containing the corpus entities such as subjects and object and their relationships such as predicates or verbs. The pipeline is configured as an end-to-end neural Open Schema Construction pipeline having a coreference resolution module, an open information extraction (OIE) module, and an entity canonicalization module. The processed textual data is input to a graph database to create the knowledge graph displayable through a graphical user interface. In operation, the pipeline modules serve to create a single term for all entity mentions in the corpus that reference the same entity through coreference resolution, extract all subject-predicate-object triplets from the coreference resolved corpus through OIE, and then canonicalize the corpus by clustering each entity mention to a canonical form for mapping to the knowledge graph and display. |

Charge storage devices with electrodes using the construct can use three different charge storage mechanisms immersed in an electrolyte: (1) cations can be stored in a thin double layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface (non-faradaic mechanism); (2) cations can interact with the bulk of an electroactive material which then undergoes a redox reaction or phase change, as in conventional batteries (faradaic mechanism); or (3) cations can electrochemically adsorb onto the surface of a material through charge transfer processes (faradaic mechanism). |

| ABSTRACT | A method for improving performance of a superconducting, flux-quantizing analog to digital converter (SFADC), comprising the following steps. The first step involves providing a known digitally-modulated signal as an input to the SFADC. Another step provides for generating an output with the SFADC based on the known digitally-modulated signal. Another step provides for comparing the characteristics of the output with ideal characteristics to identify an individual rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) element of the SFADC that is contributing one or more of noise and error to the output. Another step provides for altering one or more of a bias, a delay, and a temperature of the individual RSFQ element to reduce one or more of the noise and the error. |

| ABSTRACT | A wireless communication system can include an antenna and an equalization system. The antenna can be configured to wirelessly receive a data signal from a user equipment (UE). The equalization system can be configured to compensate for distortion incurred by the data signal during propagation. The equalization system can include a set of multiplier circuits. Each multiplier circuit can include a first input, a second input, a multiplier device, and a management circuit. The first input can receive a first input signal that corresponds to the data signal. The second input can receive a second input signal that corresponds to a weighting value assigned to a channel associated with the antenna. The multiplier device can be enabled or disabled. When enabled, the multiplier device can be configured to perform a multiplication operation on the first input signal and the second input signal. When disabled, the multiplier circuit may not perform the multiplication operation. The management circuit can be configured to selectively disable or enable the multiplier device based on the first input signal and/or the second input signal, thereby reducing an effective number of multiplications and offering power savings. |

| ABSTRACT | Various embodiments that relate to local communication are discussed. A radio from one geographical area can enter a communication environment of a different geographical area. However, if the radio still functions consistent with the previous geographical area, then the radio will not blend into the new geographical area. Therefore, the radio can alter operational characteristics when entering the new geographical area such that the radio blends into the new geographical area from a radio frequency perspective. |

| ABSTRACT | Fully artificial, adaptive composite materials and systems, having variable transmittance, reflectance, and/or absorptance to radiation in visible, infrared, or other desired region of the electromagnetic spectrum, and methods of the manufacture and use thereof are provided. The adaptive composite materials and systems possess an unprecedented combination of properties and are, therefore, poised to enable a broad range of practical applications. The adaptive composite material incorporates at least one size-variable active area having a variable transmittance, reflectance, and/or absorptance in at least a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and comprises at least: an elastomer substrate, a texturizing layer disposed on top of the substrate, and an optional reflective coating disposed on top of the texturizing layer. In operation, the stretching and relaxation of the elastomer substrate causes changes in the surface morphology of the texturized layers (e.g., the change in the size and depth of surface features in the texturizing layer), this in turn results in the increased or decreased transmittivity, reflectivity, and/or absorptivity of the active area. |

| ABSTRACT | Illustrative embodiments are directed to a method and apparatus for evaluating boundary detection in an image. A processed image is received, wherein a detected boundary of an image of an object is identified in the processed image. A Radon transform is applied to the processed image for a plurality of angles to form a processed image histogram corresponding to the detected boundary for each of the plurality of angles. The processed image histogram for each of the plurality of angles and a corresponding ground truth histogram for each of the plurality of angles is normalized to provide a normalized processed image histogram and a normalized ground truth histogram for each of the plurality of angles, wherein the ground truth histogram corresponds to a ground truth boundary of the object for a corresponding angle. An indication of the edges of the normalized processed image histogram for each of the plurality of angles is plotted to form a boundary detection evaluation visualization. |

| ABSTRACT | A mesoporous, nanocrystalline, metal oxide construct particularly suited for capacitive energy storage that has an architecture with short diffusion path lengths and large surface areas and a method for production are provided. Energy density is substantially increased without compromising the capacitive charge storage kinetics and electrode demonstrates long term cycling stability. Charge storage devices with electrodes using the construct can use three different charge storage mechanisms immersed in an electrolyte: (1) cations can be stored in a thin double layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface (non-faradaic mechanism); (2) cations can interact with the bulk of an electroactive material which then undergoes a redox reaction or phase change, as in conventional batteries (faradaic mechanism); or (3) cations can electrochemically adsorb onto the surface of a material through charge transfer processes (faradaic mechanism). |

| ABSTRACT | Atomically dispersed platinum-group metal-free catalyst and method for synthesizing the same. According to one embodiment, the catalyst is made by a method in which, in a first step, a metal oxide/zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF) composite is formed by combining (i) nanoparticles of an oxide of at least one of iron, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and copper, (ii) a hydrated zinc salt, and (iii) an imidazole. Then, in a second step, the metal oxide/ZIF composite is thermally activated, i.e., carbonized, to form an M-N—C catalyst. Thereafter, the M-N—C catalyst may be mixed with a quantity of ammonium chloride, and then the M-N—C/NH4Cl mixture may be pyrolyzed. The foregoing NH4Cl treatment may improve the intrinsic activity of the catalyst. Then, a thin layer of nitrogen-doped carbon may be added to NH4Cl-treated M-N—C catalyst by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Such CVD treatment may improve the stability of the catalyst. |

| ABSTRACT | A non-mydriatic, non-contact ultra-widefield fundus (u-WF) photographic imaging system and method are provided for performing u-WF photographic imaging of the eye. The non-mydriatic, non-contact u-WF photographic imaging system includes an illumination system that delivers trans-pars-planar illumination to the eyeball. This frees the entire pupil to be used for imaging. Freeing the entire pupil to be used for imaging allows a u-WFC of the non-mydriatic, non-contact u-WF photographic imaging system to use a relatively simple optics system to capture an ultra-wide FOV. Eliminating the need to dilate the pupil and the need to make contact with the eye while performing imaging eliminates the many problems associated with mydriatic, contact-mode fundus imaging systems and methods. In addition, the system can be implemented in a way that makes it highly suitable for telemedicine applications in underserved areas where clinics and trained healthcare providers may not be available. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides a domain wall magnetic tunnel junction device. Integration of input spikes pushes a domain wall within a ferromagnetic track toward a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). An energy gradient within the track pushes the domain wall away from the MTJ by leaking accumulated energy from the input spikes. If the integrated input spikes exceed the energy leak of the gradient within a specified time period, the domain wall reaches the MTJ and reverses its resistance, producing an output spike. The leaking energy gradient can be created by a magnetic field, a trapezoidal shape of the ferromagnetic track, or nonuniform material properties in the ferromagnetic track.

| ABSTRACT | A mesoporous, nanocrystalline, metal oxide construct particularly suited for capacitive energy storage that has an architecture with short diffusion path lengths and large surface areas and a method for production are provided. Energy density is substantially increased without compromising the capacitive charge storage kinetics and electrode demonstrates long term cycling stability. Charge storage devices with electrodes using the construct can use three different charge storage mechanisms immersed in an electrolyte: (1) cations can be stored in a thin double layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface (non-faradaic mechanism); (2) cations can interact with the bulk of an electroactive material which then undergoes a redox reaction or phase change, as in conventional batteries (faradaic mechanism); or (3) cations can electrochemically adsorb onto the surface of a material through charge transfer processes (faradaic mechanism). |

| ABSTRACT | A method for determining the mated status of female fruit flies, focusing on determining the presence of spermatozoa in a sample fly's ventral receptacle (VR). The ventral receptacle is the organ where eggs become fertilized. The VR is the first and last organ in a mated female fly to contain spermatozoa. The VR is thus the most accurate organ for determining whether a female fruit fly has recently mated. The method is a squash method. The fly's ventral receptacle is isolated, and then squeezed so as to cause spermatozoa stored in the ventral receptacle to be released into the lumen of the VR. This permits use of a microscope to determine the presence or absence of spermatozoa in the female fruit fly, and thus the mated status of the female fruit fly. |

| ABSTRACT | Bacterial pathogens have evolved means to succeed as pathogens by infecting without recognition by receptors triggering innate immunity, by suppressing induction of immunity and by inducing immune responses to antigens that confer no protectives immunity. Embodiments described herein circumvent these abilities in Salmonella so as to provide a vector system that induces maximal protective immune responses. Another major problem in using live attenuated bacterial vaccine vectors is the accumulation of attenuating mutations that confer a virulence and safety but which decrease the ability of the vaccine to invade cells in the MALT to colonize and persist in internal effector lymphoid tissues. The embodiments disclosed herein solve this problem in multiple ways by using regulated delayed in vivo shut off of virulence genes, regulated delayed synthesis of recombinant protective antigens and regulated delayed lysis in vivo to confer biological containment with no persistence of vaccine cells and no survival if excreted. |

| ABSTRACT | A metal junction thermoelectric device includes at least one thermoelectric element. The thermoelectric element has first and second opposite sides, and a first conductor made from a first metal, and a second conductor made from a second metal. The first and second conductors are electrically interconnected in series, and the first and second conductors are arranged to conduct heat in parallel between the first and second sides. The first metal has a first occupancy state, and the second metal has a second occupancy state that is lower than the first occupancy state. A temperature difference between the first and second sides of the thermoelectric element causes a charge potential due to the difference in occupancy states of the first and second metals. The charge potential generates electrical power. |

| ABSTRACT | High quality carbon nanochains or carbon nanotubes are produced by methods that include mixing a carbon-containing feedstock with a catalyst to form a feedstock/catalyst mixture, or coating a catalyst with a carbon-containing feedstock, and subjecting the feedstock/catalyst mixture or feedstock-coated catalyst to irradiation with a laser to convert the feedstock into carbon nanochains or carbon nanotubes in the presence of the catalyst. In some instances, the feedstock is converted to a char by pyrolysis and the char is instead subjected to laser irradiation. The carbon-containing feedstock can be a biomass or a carbonaceous material. In some instances, the catalyst is a metal salt, preferably a transition metal salt. In some instances, the catalyst is an elemental metal, an alloy, or a combination thereof. |

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, May 07, 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.
You can also reach this page using the weekly page link that looks like this:
