ABSTRACT | The disclosed embodiments provide a system that non-invasively analyzes blood flow in a sample of living tissue. During operation, the system obtains light from a temporally coherent source, and splits the obtained light between a reference path and a sample path. Next, the system multiply scatters light from the sample path by passing the light through the sample. The system then recombines light from the reference path and the multiply scattered light from the sample path. Next, the system uses a sensor array to detect an interference pattern resulting from the recombination. Finally, the system analyzes signals from the sensor array to determine a blood flow in the sample. |

ABSTRACT | Aspects of the disclosure are directed to methods and/or apparatuses involving modifying flow and/or concentration of an agent being injected for characterizing a vascular system. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, a liquid including an agent is injected into a vascular system, by dynamically modulating a flow rate of the agent being injected over a range of flow rates. The vascular system is characterized based on a response of the vascular system to the dynamic modulation. In some implementations, such an approach involves using an injector that operates to separately control the rate at which an agent and other liquid such as saline are injected. These approaches can be implemented with modulation schemes using one or more of a variety of functions. |

ABSTRACT | Herein reported are new tricyclic cytidine compounds, such as 8-diethylamino-tC (8-DEA-tC), that respond to DNA and/or RNA duplex formation with up to a 20-fold increase in fluorescent quantum yield as compared with the free nucleoside, depending on neighboring bases. This turn-on response to duplex formation is by far the greatest of any reported nucleoside analogue that can participate in Watson-Crick base pairing. Measurements of the quantum yield of 8-DEA-tC mispaired with adenosine and, separately, opposite an abasic site show that there is almost no fluorescence increase without the formation of correct Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds. Kinetic isotope effects from the use of deuterated buffer show that the duplex protects 8-DEA-tC against quenching by excited state proton transfer. DFT calculations provide a rationale for the observed photophysical properties that is dependent on duplex integrity and the electronic structure of the analogue. |

ABSTRACT | Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (Ipsc) technology enables the generation and study of living brain tissue relevant to Parkinson's disease (PD) ex vivo. Utilizing cell lines from PD patients presents a powerful discovery system that links cellular phenotypes observed in vitro with real clinical data. Differentiating patient-derived iPSCs towards a dopaminergic (DA) neural fate revealed that these cells exhibit molecular and functional properties of DA neurons in vitro that are observed to significantly degenerate in the substantia nigra of PD patients. Clinical symptoms that drive the generation of other relevant cell types may also yield novel PD-specific phenotypes in vitro that have the potential to lead to new therapeutic avenues for patients with PD. Due to their early onset and non-familial origin, differentiated nervous tissue from these patients offer a key opportunity to discover neuron subtype-specific pathological mechanisms and importantly interrogate the contribution of their genetic background in susceptibility to PD. |

ABSTRACT | A method of testing compounds for activity to inhibit germination of spores. The method includes the steps of providing bacterial, fungal, or plant spores transformed to contain and express a detectable marker, wherein the marker when expressed, is operationally linked to a spore-specific or yeast-specific protein, in a medium and under environmental conditions in which the spores will germinate, and measuring a first signal output generated by the marker prior to the spores initiating germination; contacting the spores of step (a) with a compound whose activity to inhibit germination of spores is to be measured; incubating the spores of step (b) under environmental conditions and for a time wherein spores not treated with the compound will germinate; and determining extent of germination of the spores by measuring a second signal output generated by the marker, wherein a difference between the first signal output and the second signal output is proportional to the extent of germination of the spores. Also described are compositions of matter for inhibiting spore germination in vitro and in vivo. |

ABSTRACT | Heritable pathogenic variants in the mismatch repair (MMR) pathway, also known as Lynch Syndrome (LS), can lead to the development of colon cancer and other cancers. Following mismatch, a complex of proteins consisting of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 translocate into the nucleus to signal recruitment of repair mechanisms. Flow cytometry-based, functional variant assays (FVAs), were developed to determine whether variants in these MMR repair genes and/or other related genes would augment the nuclear translocation of MLH1 and MSH2 and downstream nuclear phosphorylation of ATM and ATR in response to DNA mismatches. Each assay distinguished pathogenic variants in MMR repair genes (MLH1, MSH2, PMS2 and MSH6) from benign controls. The combination of multiple assays provided robust separation between heterozygous pathogenic variant carriers and benign controls. The ability to produce distinct molecular phenotypes by these assays suggest FVA assays of MMR pathways could be used to identify LS and associated risk of colon and other cancers and could act as an adjunct to MMR gene sequencing panels in categorizing variants. |

ABSTRACT | During operation of the system, a sample of the biological material is placed against a surface of a waveguide, which is comprised of a UV-transparent waveguide material. Then, the system launches UV light from a UV light source via side-illumination into an input end of the waveguide, wherein a launch angle for components of the UV light is greater than a critical angle between the waveguide material and air, so that the UV light propagates through the waveguide via total internal reflection to reach the sample. The launch angle is also less than a critical angle between the waveguide material and the sample, so that when the UV light reaches the sample, the UV light escapes the waveguide through refraction to illuminate the sample. Finally, an imaging mechanism located on an opposite side of the waveguide from the sample captures an image of the illuminated sample. |

ABSTRACT | Magnetic resonance images with improved image quality consistent with those obtained using parallel radio frequency (“RF”) transmission (“pTx”) techniques are generated from data acquired using single transmission hardware (e.g., single channel RF transmission). A deep-learning framework is used to train a deep neural network to convert images obtained with single transmission into pTx-like images. The pTx-like images have reduced signal variations and dropouts that may otherwise be attributable to B1+ inhomogeneities. |

ABSTRACT | Embodiments predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer (BCa) from pre-treatment dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Embodiments compute, using a machine learning (ML) classifier, a first probability of response based on a set of radiomic features extracted from a tumoral region represented in a pre-treatment DCE-MRI image of a region of tissue (ROT) demonstrating BCa; extract patches from the tumoral region; provide the patches to a convolutional neural network (CNN); receive, from the CNN, a pixel-level localized patch probability of response; compute a second probability of response based on the pixel-level localized patch probability; compute a combined ML probability from the first and second probabilities; compute a final probability of response based on the combined ML probability and clinical information associated with the ROT; classify the ROT as a responder or non-responder based on the final probability of response; and display the classification. |

ABSTRACT | A lithium ion-conductive solid electrolyte including a freestanding inorganic vitreous sheet of sulfide-based lithium ion conducting glass is capable of high performance in a lithium metal battery. Such an electrolyte is also manufacturable, and readily adaptable for battery cell and cell component manufacture, in a cost-effective, scalable manner using an automated machine based system, apparatus and methods based on inline spectrophotometry to assess and inspect the quality of such vitreous solid electrolyte sheets and associated components. Suitable manufacturing methods can involve multi-stage thinning of a sulfide glass preform that includes a first thinning operation that involves applying a compressive force onto the preform to form a glass sheet and a second thinning operation that involves applying a tensile force on the as-formed glass sheet (e.g., drawing the sheet by pulling). |

ABSTRACT | A system and method for controlling boundary layer transition for a high-speed vehicle are disclosed. The method includes determining a location of onset of boundary-layer transition that naturally develops during high-speed flight of the high-speed vehicle, and providing a pair of flow control strips at a surface/wall/skin of the high-speed vehicle such that the boundary-layer transition is delayed or prevented during high-speed flight of the high-speed vehicle. The delayed or prevented locations of the transition result in a change in the high-speed boundary layer during the high-speed flight of the high-speed vehicle. The change in the high-speed boundary layer transition affects skin friction drag, aero-thermodynamic heating, and pressure fluctuations in the boundary layer of the high-speed vehicle. |

ABSTRACT | An environmental condition may be measured with a sensor (10) including a wire (20) having an ultrasonic signal transmission characteristic that varies in response to the environmental condition by sensing ultrasonic energy propagated through the wire using multiple types of propagation, and separating an effect of temperature on the wire from an effect of strain on the wire using the sensed ultrasonic energy propagated through the wire using the multiple types of propagation. A positive feedback loop may be used to excite the wire such that strain in the wire is based upon a sensed resonant frequency, while a square wave with a controlled duty cycle may be used to excite the wire at multiple excitation frequencies. A phase matched cone (200, 210) may be used to couple ultrasonic energy between a waveguide wire (202, 212) and a transducer (204, 214). |

ABSTRACT | A method of detecting deceptive web activity is implemented in an intermediary located between a requesting client device, and a server that hosts a web application. Following a bootstrap phase used to generate a database of information identifying characteristics of clients, the method begins by receiving a page directed to the client from the server. The server injects an invisible DOM element having a set of style properties associated therewith, with one of the set of style properties assigned a random value, to generate a modified page, which is returned to the client. As the client interacts with the modified page, the intermediary tracks the device's styles and uses them to identify the client from information in the database. Once the device is identified, the intermediary then detects whether a spoofing attack has occurred. By leveraging the tracked styles, a spoofing attack on the DOM element's styles may also be detected. |

ABSTRACT | A method of generating uniform large-scale optical focus arrays (LOT As) with a phase spatial light modulator (SLM) includes identifying and removing undesired phase rotation in the iterative Fourier transform algorithm (IFTA), thereby producing computer-generated holograms of highly uniform LOT As using a reduced number of iterations as compared to a weighted Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm. The method also enables a faster compensation of optical system-induced LOT A intensity inhomogeneity than the conventional IFTA. |

ABSTRACT | A self-inflating tire assembly includes an air tube mounted within a tire sidewall groove. The air tube is in contacting engagement with opposite angled groove surfaces surrounding the air tube. A segment of the air tube is flattened from an expanded diameter to a flat diameter by bending and compression of the groove in a rolling tire footprint to force air evacuated from the flattened segment along a tube air passageway. The sidewall groove extends into an annular, axially extending, sidewall surface such as an axially oriented surface of a tire chafer protrusion located in non-contacting relationship with the rim. The air tube is extruded from a rubber composition, the rubber composition comprising: a diene based rubber; from 0.25 to 5 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of rubber (phr), of a self-lubrication agent capable of migrating from the rubber composition to the groove surface and disposing on the groove surface as a liquid; and from 1 to 15 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of rubber (phr), of a vulcanization modifier for use in the second rubber composition include α,ω-bis(N,N′-dihydrocarbylthiocarbamamoyldithio)alkanes, bismaleimides, and biscitraconimides. |

ABSTRACT | A lithium ion-conductive solid electrolyte including a freestanding inorganic vitreous sheet of sulfide-based lithium ion conducting glass is capable of high performance in a lithium metal battery. Such an electrolyte is also manufacturable, and readily adaptable for battery cell and cell component manufacture, in a cost-effective, scalable manner using an automated machine based system, apparatus and methods based on inline spectrophotometry to assess and inspect the quality of such vitreous solid electrolyte sheets and associated components. Suitable manufacturing methods can involve multi-stage thinning of a sulfide glass preform that includes a first thinning operation that involves applying a compressive force onto the preform to form a glass sheet and a second thinning operation that involves applying a tensile force on the as-formed glass sheet (e.g., drawing the sheet by pulling). |

ABSTRACT | Post-copy is one of the two key techniques (besides pre-copy) for live migration of virtual machines in data centers. Post-copy provides deterministic total migration time and low downtime for write-intensive VMs. However, if post-copy migration fails for any reason, the migrating VM is lost because the VM's latest consistent state is split between the source and destination nodes during migration. PostCopyFT provides a new approach to recover a VM after a destination or network failure during post-copy live migration using an efficient reverse incremental checkpointing mechanism. PostCopyFT was implemented and evaluated in the KVM/QEMU platform. Experimental results show that the total migration time of post-copy remains unchanged while maintaining low failover time, downtime, and application performance overhead. |

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 | A method of generating uniform large-scale optical focus arrays (LOT As) with a phase spatial light modulator (SLM) includes identifying and removing undesired phase rotation in the iterative Fourier transform algorithm (IFTA), thereby producing computer-generated holograms of highly uniform LOT As using a reduced number of iterations as compared to a weighted Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm. The method also enables a faster compensation of optical system-induced LOT A intensity inhomogeneity than the conventional IFTA. |

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 | Systems and methods are provided for managing a data communication within a multi-level network having a plurality of switches organized as groups, with each group coupled to all other groups via global links, including: at each switch within the network, maintaining a global fault table identifying the links which lead only to faulty global paths, and when the data communication is received at a port of a switch, determine a destination for the data communication and, route the communication across the network using the global fault table to avoid selecting a port within the switch that would result in the communication arriving at a point in the network where its only path forward is across a global link that is faulty; wherein the global fault table is used for both a global minimal routing methodology and a global non-minimal routing methodology. |

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 14, 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:
