| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are systems and methods utilizing an infrared probe and discriminating software to rapidly discriminate abnormal tissue processes from normal tissue during surgery, physical examination of in-situ lesions, and in the assessment of biopsy and resected tissue specimens. Examples demonstrate discrimination of cancerous from noncancerous tissues. The discriminating software, i.e. the metrics, algorithms, calibrant spectra, and decision equations, allows tissue to be identified as abnormal or normal using a minimum of infrared (IR) wavelengths in order to be measured rapidly. The probe records IR metrics approximately 1000 times faster than current commercial instruments, i.e. on a timescale fast enough for clinical use. The probe uses a tunable mid-infrared laser with a small set of selected wavelengths that are optimized for detecting the chemical and molecular signatures of tissue specific lesions to include, but not limited to, cancer, preneoplasia, intracellular accumulations (e.g. steatosis), inflammation, and wound healing. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma (RAF, such as c-RAF, A-RAF and/or B-RAF; the target protein). In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds, which contain on one end a Von Hippel-Lindau, cereblon, Inhibitors of Apotosis Proteins or mouse double-minute homolog 2 ligand which binds to the respective E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds the target protein RAF, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation or accumulation of the target protein, or the constitutive activation of the target protein, are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure. |

| ABSTRACT | A brain machine interface (BMI) to control a device is provided. The BMI has a neural decoder, which is a neural to kinematic mapping function with neural signals as input to the neural decoder and kinematics to control the device as output of the neural decoder. The neural decoder is based on a continuous-time multiplicative recurrent neural network, which has been trained as a neural to kinematic mapping function. An advantage of the invention is the robustness of the decoder to perturbations in the neural data; its performance degrades less—or not at all in some circumstances—in comparison to the current state decoders. These perturbations make the current use of BMI in a clinical setting extremely challenging. This invention helps to ameliorate this problem. The robustness of the neural decoder does not come at the cost of some performance, in fact an improvement in performance is observed. |

| ABSTRACT | A ponderomotive phase plate, also called a laser phase plate or standing wave optical phase plate, has a first minor and a second minor that define an optical cavity. An electron beam passes through a focal spot of the optical cavity. A laser with variable polarization angle of laser light is coupled to the optical cavity. A standing wave of polarized laser light, with an anti-node at the focal spot of the optical cavity, causes variable modulation of the electron beam. The variable modulation of the electron beam is controllable by the variable polarization angle of the laser light. In a transmission electron microscope, an image plane receives the electron beam modulated by the standing wave optical phase plate. An image formed at the image plane is based on the variable polarization angle of the polarized laser light. |

| ABSTRACT | A variety of flexible body harnesses are provided to distribute loads comfortably and evenly across one or more segments of the human body. The trajectories of load-bearing straps of the provided body harnesses apply shear to underlying portions of skin of a body segment evenly across the length of the load-bearing straps. Such trajectories can approximate catenary curves as the straps encircle the body segment. The trajectories of such straps around a body segment are maintained by attaching the straps to an underlayer, by incorporating the straps into a flexible material, and/or by weaving further straps around the load-bearing straps to maintain their relative location and/or curvature. Such body harnesses can be provided as part of assistive, rehabilitative, prosthetic, or strength-enhancing systems configured to apply forces to the body via the body harnesses. |

| ABSTRACT | Gas turbine engines include an engine frame defining an inner radial surface, a shaft rotatably mounted in the engine frame along a longitudinal axis, and an electric machine that includes a rotor coupled to the shaft and a stator coupled to the engine frame and defining an outer radial surface. In some gas turbine engines, the engine frame includes inlet and outlet fluid passages, each extending to a portion of the inner radial surface. The portion of the inner radial surface of the engine frame is spaced from the outer radial surface of the stator to form an annular fluid passage around the stator of an electric machine. The annular fluid passage is configured to direct a cooling fluid around the stator to remove heat from the stator. Some gas turbine engines include two or more positioning keys configured to fix the stator relative to the engine frame. |

| ABSTRACT | An ignition safety device (ISD) used in an ignition system of a missile is configured to selectively control the ignition of two or more pulses or stages of a rocket motor propulsion system, based on a flight profile mode selection of a flight velocity mode, in which the missile is configured to travel at an optimized flight velocity, or a flight distance mode, in which the missile is configured to travel an optimized flight distance. The ISD is configured to selectively ignite the pulses or stages substantially simultaneously upon selection of the flight velocity mode, or in a delayed sequential manner upon selection of the flight distance mode. The ISD is also configured to selectively inhibit the delayed sequential ignition of the pulses or stages in the event of incidental ground or water impact of the missile after ignition of the primary pulse or stage. |

| ABSTRACT | An interferometer for use in remote sensing systems includes a beam splitter that separates an input wave into a reflected wave, which travels along a first optical path within an upper interferometer arm, and a transmitted wave, which travels along a second optical path within a lower interferometer arm. The reflected and transmitted waves are subsequently recombined by the beam splitter for imaging onto a sensor. A highly dispersive element is incorporated into at least one of the pair of interferometer arms. Due to anomalous dispersion, a frequency shift in a wave transmitted through a dispersive element changes the optical path length within its corresponding arm. As a result, the recombined wave produces an interference pattern with a measurable phase change that can be utilized to calculate the original frequency shift in the input wave with great precision and potential sub-Hertz sensitivity. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and sensors for the detection, identification, and quantification of one or more gas species, including volatile organic compounds, in a test sample are described. Methods employ gas sensors comprising a diffusion matrix present on the sensor surface. A gas analyte in a test sample diffuses through the matrix and is detected upon interaction of the analyte with the sensor. A response profile of a gas sensor to a gas analyte in the test sample is compared to a control gas sensor response profile determined in a similar manner for a known gas species. Comparisons of test sample and control sample sensor response profiles enable detection, identification, and quantification of a gas species analyte in a test sample. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums to detect and terminate programmable atomic transactions that are stuck in an infinite loop. In order to detect and terminate these transactions, the programmable atomic unit may use an instruction counter that increments each time an instruction is executed during execution of a programmable atomic transaction. If the instruction counter meets or exceeds a threshold instruction execution limit without reaching the termination instruction, the programmable atomic transaction may be terminated, all resources used (e.g., memory locks) may be freed, and a response may be sent to a calling processor. |

| ABSTRACT | A brain machine interface (BMI) to control a device is provided. The BMI has a neural decoder, which is a neural to kinematic mapping function with neural signals as input to the neural decoder and kinematics to control the device as output of the neural decoder. The neural decoder is based on a continuous-time multiplicative recurrent neural network, which has been trained as a neural to kinematic mapping function. An advantage of the invention is the robustness of the decoder to perturbations in the neural data; its performance degrades less—or not at all in some circumstances—in comparison to the current state decoders. These perturbations make the current use of BMI in a clinical setting extremely challenging. This invention helps to ameliorate this problem. The robustness of the neural decoder does not come at the cost of some performance, in fact an improvement in performance is observed. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods and instructions for creating building models of physical structures is disclosed. The building model may be a collection of floors defined by outlines containing regions that may be offset relative to a main region, and a collection of connectors. Connectors may have connection points for tracking, routing and sizing. Connectors may indicate elevation changes through georeferenced structural features. Signal elements may also be features that provide corrections when tracking. Feature descriptors are data that describes the structural configuration and signal elements enabling them to be matched to previously collected data in a database. User interface elements assist a user of a tracking device in collecting floor information, structural features and signal features and validating certain collected information based on previously known information. The height of floors may also be inferred based on sensor data from the tracking device. |

| ABSTRACT | Aspects herein are directed to nucleating skyrmions in spintronic materials by dynamic manipulation of an in-plane magnetic field and related design of prototype devices for spintronic memory and processing. Different from conventional phase transition methods, nucleating and manipulating skyrmion using in-plane fields and spin current pulses is described. For example, in a material with rotatable anisotropy and asymmetry geometric confinement, a skyrmion can be nucleated by switching the in-plane fields. This has been experimentally confirmed in a centrosymmetric magnet, Fe3Sn2, with an engineered thickness gradient. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods of charge-neutralizing charged particle beams are contemplated, wherein an originating beam is transited through a sequence of slow wave recombination chambers and exposed to neutralizing beams while transit therethrough in order to produce a neutral particle beam. These systems and methods may be seen to be especially suitable for use in spacecraft or other ungrounded environments where the removal of excess charge buildup represents a substantial barrier, and when utilized in a directed energy weapon, may greatly increase the rate at which successive beam pulses may be directed against a target or against multiple targets. |

| ABSTRACT | A water purification system utilizes an ionomer membrane and mild vacuum to draw water from source water through the membrane. A water source may be salt water or a contaminated water source. The water drawn through the membrane passes across the condenser chamber to a condenser surface where it is condensed into purified water. The condenser surface may be metal or any other suitable surface and may be flat or pleated. In addition, the condenser surface may be maintained at a lower temperature than the water on the water source side of the membrane. The ionomer membrane may be configured in a cartridge, a pleated or flat plate configuration. A latent heat loop may be configured to carry the latent heat of vaporization from the condenser back to the water source side of the ionomer membrane. The source water may be heated by a solar water heater. |

| ABSTRACT | The electrochemical energy conversion system include an anode, a cathode, and a proton exchange membrane disposed between the anode and the cathode. The proton exchange membrane includes a polymer having a hard block polymer, a soft block polymer, and one or more hydrophilic functional groups attached to the soft block polymer. The glass transition temperature of the hard block polymer is higher than a glass transition temperature of the soft block polymer, such that the hard block polymer is non-elastic and the soft block polymer is elastic at a desired operating temperature. The hydrophilic functional groups are attached to the soft block polymer via a thiol-ene reaction to modify double bonds in the soft block polymer. The swellable functional groups are selectively connected to the soft domains of the block copolymers, so that when the membrane swells (under hydration or gas adsorption), the stress is effectively absorbed by the soft domain and the impact on overall mechanical properties is minor, resulting in more durable membranes. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method of creating a shape-conforming lattice structure for a part formed via additive manufacturing. The method includes receiving a computer model of the part and generating a finite element mesh. A lattice structure including a number of lattice cellular components may also be generated. Some of the mesh elements of the finite element mesh may be deformed so that the finite element mesh conforms to the overall shape of the part. The lattice structure may then be deformed so that the lattice structure has a cellular periodicity corresponding to the finite elements of the finite element mesh. In this way, the part retains the benefits of its overall shape and the benefits of lattice features without introducing structural weak points, directional stresses, and other structural deficiencies. |

| ABSTRACT | Determining a warp function between two watertight spline models. A first watertight spline model of a first object and a set of points and associated metadata from a second object are received. A second watertight spline model of the second object is constructed based on the set of points, the metadata, and the first watertight spline model. A warp function is determined based on a difference between the first watertight spline model and the second watertight spline model. The warp function is a continuous function approximating differences between the first object and the second object. The warp function is stored in a non-transitory computer-readable memory medium. |

| ABSTRACT | A combination of materials and processing parameters have been developed for hermetic seals for electrical feedthroughs in high performance applications. A glass-ceramic forms a hermetic seal between a stainless steel shell and a platinum-nickel-based (Pt—Ni) pin alloy for electrical feedthroughs. The glass-ceramic is processed to develop a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) slightly higher than the pin alloy but lower than the stainless steel. The seal system employing the new processing conditions and Pt—Ni-based pin alloy alleviates several problems encountered in previous seal systems and improves the hermetic connector performance. |

| ABSTRACT | A ponderomotive phase plate, also called a laser phase plate or standing wave optical phase plate, has a first minor and a second minor that define an optical cavity. An electron beam passes through a focal spot of the optical cavity. A laser with variable polarization angle of laser light is coupled to the optical cavity. A standing wave of polarized laser light, with an anti-node at the focal spot of the optical cavity, causes variable modulation of the electron beam. The variable modulation of the electron beam is controllable by the variable polarization angle of the laser light. In a transmission electron microscope, an image plane receives the electron beam modulated by the standing wave optical phase plate. An image formed at the image plane is based on the variable polarization angle of the polarized laser light. |

| ABSTRACT | In one or more embodiments, the present invention provides am method of making a poly(propylene fumarate-co-succinate) (PPFS) copolymer containing a random incorporation of succinate groups and targetable reduction profiles without the need for three or more monomer units. To achieve this, a time-dependent sonication-promoted zinc/acetic acid reduction of the PPM unsaturated double bonds has been used to create a random PPMS copolymer which may be isomerized into the PPFS equivalent. By changing the sonication time as well as the ratios of acetic acid, zinc, and PPM unsaturated alkenes, partial reduction of the PPM alkenes has been shown to give PPMS products containing varying compositions of succinic and maleate units, which may then be isomerized to the PPFS product. |

| ABSTRACT | The electrochemical energy conversion system include an anode, a cathode, and a proton exchange membrane disposed between the anode and the cathode. The proton exchange membrane includes a polymer having a hard block polymer, a soft block polymer, and one or more hydrophilic functional groups attached to the soft block polymer. The glass transition temperature of the hard block polymer is higher than a glass transition temperature of the soft block polymer, such that the hard block polymer is non-elastic and the soft block polymer is elastic at a desired operating temperature. The hydrophilic functional groups are attached to the soft block polymer via a thiol-ene reaction to modify double bonds in the soft block polymer. The swellable functional groups are selectively connected to the soft domains of the block copolymers, so that when the membrane swells (under hydration or gas adsorption), the stress is effectively absorbed by the soft domain and the impact on overall mechanical properties is minor, resulting in more durable membranes. |

| ABSTRACT | An anion exchange membrane is provided by converting carbon-carbon double bonds in the backbone of polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polystyrene (SBS) into epoxide groups. Unmodified SBS is first partially hydrogenated to remove about 65% to about 90% of carbon-carbon double bonds. The remaining double bonds are then converted to epoxide groups to form an epoxidized SBS. UV-initiated ring opening reactions between the epoxidized SBS and haloalkyloxiranes are then employed to simultaneously functionalize and crosslink the epoxidized SBS. The halide groups in the crosslinked polymer network can be replaced via nucleophilic substitution to offer anion conductivity, e.g., via reaction with trimethylamine. Further ion exchange reactions can then be performed to make the membrane hydroxide conductive. The crosslinked membranes described herein exhibit a mechanical strength improvement of 200% compared to unmodified SBS, while maintaining high hydroxide conductivity. This synthetic platform is advantageous to provide mechanically robust anion exchange membranes for fuel cell applications. |

| ABSTRACT | Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are promising cell source to produce therapeutic endocrine cells for diabetes treatment. A gel solution made by decellularized tissue-specific extracellular matrix (dpECM) significantly promotes three-dimensional (3D) islet-like organogenesis during induced hPSC differentiation into endocrine lineages. Islet organoids are self-organized even in a two-dimensional (2D) culture mode. Cells derived from hPSCs differentiated on such ECM coated substrates exhibit similar cellular composition to native pancreatic islets. These cells express islet signature markers insulin, PDX-1, C-peptide, MafA, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic polypeptide, and secrete more insulin in response to glucose level compared to a traditional matrix substrate (Matrigel). The dpECM facilitates generating more C-peptide+/glucagon− cells rather than C-peptide+/glucagon+ cells. Remarkably, dpECM also facilitated intra-organoid vascularity by generating endothelial cells and pericytes. Furthermore, dpECM niches also induced intra-organoid microvascularization during pancreatic differentiation. |

| ABSTRACT | Stabilized precursor solutions can be used to form radiation inorganic coating materials. The precursor solutions generally comprise metal suboxide cations, peroxide-based ligands and polyatomic anions. Design of the precursor solutions can be performed to achieve a high level of stability of the precursor solutions. The resulting coating materials can be designed for patterning with a selected radiation, such as ultraviolet light, x-ray radiation or electron beam radiation. The radiation patterned coating material can have a high contrast with respect to material properties, such that development of a latent image can be successful to form lines with very low line-width roughness and adjacent structures with a very small pitch. |

| ABSTRACT | Identifying insect species integrates image processing, feature selection, unsupervised clustering, and a support vector machine (SVM) learning algorithm for classification. Results with a total of 101 mosquito specimens spread across nine different vector carrying species demonstrate high accuracy in species identification. When implemented as a smart-phone application, the latency and energy consumption were minimal. The currently manual process of species identification and recording can be sped up, while also minimizing the ensuing cognitive workload of personnel. Citizens at large can use the system in their own homes for self-awareness and share insect identification data with public health agencies. |

| ABSTRACT | The Li-ion paradigm of battery technology is fundamentally constrained by the monovalency of the Li-ion. A straightforward solution is to transition to multivalent ion chemistries, with Mg2+ the most obvious candidate due to considerations of size and mass. Despite early interest, the realization of Mg batteries has faced myriad obstacles, including a sparse selection of cathode materials demonstrating the ability to reversibly insert divalent ions. Disclosed herein is evidence of reversible topochemical and electrochemical insertion of Mg2+ into a metastable one-dimensional polymorph of V2O5. Not only does ζ-V2O5 represent a rare addition to the pantheon of functional Mg battery cathode materials, but is also distinctive in exhibiting a combination of high stability, high specific capacity due to ion insertion, and moderately high operating voltage. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for human-robot communication are proved. More particularly, some embodiments use augmented reality to facilitate communication of robot intention and teleoperation in human-robot cooperative environments. Various embodiments of the present technology provide a middleware that integrates augmented reality (AR) with novel teleoperation interfaces to increase operation effectiveness, support the user in conducting concurrent work, and decrease stress. Various embodiments provide predictive graphical interfaces such that a teleoperator controls a virtual robot surrogate, rather than directly operating the robot itself, providing the user with foresight regarding where the physical robot will end up and how it will get there. In accordance with various embodiments a user may select between two AR interfaces using such a surrogate: one focused on real-time control and one inspired by waypoint delegation. |

| ABSTRACT | A battery thermal management system for an air vehicle includes a liquid heat exchange circuit, an air heat exchange circuit, and a liquid-air heat exchanger. The liquid-air heat exchanger is positioned on the liquid heat exchange circuit and the air heat exchange circuit to exchange heat therebetween. The system includes a coolant pump fluidically connected to the liquid heat exchange circuit, a flow restrictor positioned in the liquid heat exchange circuit, and a battery in thermal communication with the liquid heat exchange circuit. A method for controlling a thermal management system for an air vehicle includes sensing a temperature of a battery with a temperature sensor, varying a flow area of a flow path through a liquid heat exchange circuit with the flow restrictor if the temperature is below a pre-determined threshold, and operating a pump to provide heating to the battery if the temperature is below the pre-determined threshold. |

| ABSTRACT | The housing lock includes a barrel, a screw and a bumper. The screw and bumper are threadedly engaged with one another and slidably engaged with the barrel. A barrel passageway includes a screw stop limiting sliding of the screw and bumper assembly in the distal direction and a bumper stop limiting sliding of the screw and bumper assembly in the proximal direction. The barrel includes feet. The perimeter defined by the feet is selected to closely fit within a housing passage in order to limit rotational movement of the housing lock within the housing passageway. The length of the feet is selected to prevent manipulation of the lockout of the housing passageway once the lock is secured to the housing. The barrel provides an exterior housing stop limiting movement of the housing lock relative to the housing in a distal direction. The bumper provides an interior housing stop limiting movement of the housing lock relative to the housing in a proximal direction. When secured to housing, the housing lock prevents removal of the housing cover from the housing chassis. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for detecting an outbound communication and identifying a context of the outbound communication. Additionally, a completion status of the outbound communication may be tracked relative to the context. In one example, tracking the completion status includes incrementing a sent messages counter associated with the context in response to the outbound communication, detecting an acknowledgement of the outbound communication based on a network response to the outbound communication, incrementing a received acknowledgements counter associated with the context in response to the acknowledgement, comparing the sent messages counter to the received acknowledgements counter, and triggering a per-context memory ordering operation if the sent messages counter and the received acknowledgements counter have matching values. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods and instructions for creating building models of physical structures is disclosed. The building model may be a collection of floors defined by outlines containing regions that may be offset relative to a main region, and a collection of connectors. Connectors may have connection points for tracking, routing and sizing. Connectors may indicate elevation changes through georeferenced structural features. Signal elements may also be features that provide corrections when tracking. Feature descriptors are data that describes the structural configuration and signal elements enabling them to be matched to previously collected data in a database. User interface elements assist a user of a tracking device in collecting floor information, structural features and signal features and validating certain collected information based on previously known information. The height of floors may also be inferred based on sensor data from the tracking device. |

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 21, 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.
