| ABSTRACT | An optically computed optical coherence tomography (OC-OCT) technology is disclosed. The OC-OCT system performs depth resolved imaging by computing the Fourier transform of the interferometric spectra optically. The OC-OCT system modulates the interferometric spectra with Fourier basis function projected to a spatial light modulator and detects the modulated signal without spectral discrimination. The optical computation strategy enables volumetric OCT imaging without performing mechanical scanning and without the need for Fourier transform in a computer. OC-OCT performs Fourier transform signal processing optically, without the need of mechanical scanning, and before data acquisition unlike traditional OCT methods and systems. The scan-less OCT imaging is achieved through the use of spatial light modulator (SLM) that precisely manipulates light wave to generate output with desired amplitude and phase. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention provides novel methods for treating or ameliorating symptoms of demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. The methods involve administering to subjects in need of treatment a pharmaceutical composition that contains a therapeutically effective amount of taurine and also a compound that induces oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) differentiation (e.g., T3, benztropine, clemastine or miconazole). Some of the methods additionally involve administration to the subject a known agent for treating demyelinating diseases (e.g., SIP receptor agonists) or a known disease modifying drug. The invention also provides methods for increasing myelination and methods for promoting OPC differentiation into oligodendrocytes. These methods entail contacting a population of OPCs with a combination of taurine and a known OPC differentiation-inducing agent such as T3, clemastine, benztropine or miconazole. |

| ABSTRACT | Compositions, methods, and kits are provided for treating bacterial infections with nanoparticles comprising a thiol-binding metallic core conjugated to a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Recalcitrant infections are often difficult to treat because of the presence of persister cells, a subpopulation of bacterial cells that is highly tolerant of traditional antibiotics. Persister cells are dormant, which makes them less susceptible to many antibiotics, which are designed to kill growing cells. Administration of nanoparticles comprising a thiol-binding metallic core conjugated to fluoroquinolone antibiotics was found to be highly efficacious in eradicating persister cells and for treating infections for a broad range of bacterial species, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Such treatment was effective not only in eradicating planktonic bacteria but also bacteria in biofilms. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided are methods of producing size-selected nucleic acid libraries. The methods include contacting a nucleic acid sample and a nucleic acid binding reagent including an affinity tag, under conditions in which nucleic acids of less than a desired length are substantially bound to the nucleic acid binding reagent and nucleic acids of the desired length are substantially not bound to the nucleic acid binding reagent. The conditions include the duration of the contacting, the concentration of the nucleic acid binding reagent, or both. The methods further include separating, using the affinity tag, the nucleic acids of less than the desired length bound to the nucleic acid binding reagent from the nucleic acids of the desired length not bound to the nucleic acid binding reagent, to produce a size-selected nucleic acid library. Compositions and kits that find use, e.g., in practicing the methods of the present disclosure, are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | A simulated Hall probe, provide EPR coil driver, and/or perform a time-domain full scan sinusoidal deconvolution of EPR signals. The simulated Hall probe can return a Hall Effect voltage from a coil current that creates a magnetic field within a coil magnet and the reference current that would be fed to an actual Hall probe. From these values, the Hall Effective voltage can be determined which can be used to determine the magnetic field flux, which can then be used to regulate the magnetic field. |

| ABSTRACT | A gripping device is provided for grasping an object. The device includes a frame, an axial threaded screw, an actuator, an armature, a plurality of links, and a plurality of arms. The frame has proximal and distant ends to hold the screw. The actuator connects to the screw at the proximal end. The armature threads onto the screw. The links radially extend from the armature. Each link terminates in a ball tip. Each arm includes a lever bounded by a proximal hinge and a distal claw. The lever contains a plate to slide therealong. The plate has a socket that receives the ball tip. The hinge pivotably connects to the proximal end of the frame. The actuator turns the screw, thereby translating the armature aft towards the distal end of the frame. The armature carries each link to pull its ball tip aft, thereby causing each arm to radially contract its claw around the object. |

| ABSTRACT | Precision and chip contamination-free placement of two-dimensional (2D) material and van der Waals (VDW) layered materials accelerates both the study of fundamental properties and novel device functionality. The system transfers 2D materials utilizing a combination of a narrow transfer-stamper and viscoelastic and optically transparent film. Precise placement of individual 2D materials results in vanishing cross-contamination to the substrate. The 2D printer results in an aerial cross-contamination improvement of two to three orders of magnitude relative to state-of-the-art transfer methods from a source of average area sub um{circumflex over ( )}2. The transfer-stamper does not physically harm any micro/nanostructures preexisting on the target substrates receiving the 2D material such as, nanoelectronics, waveguides or micro-ring resonators. Such accurate and substrate-benign transfer method for 2D and VDW layered materials provides rapid device prototyping due to its high time-reduction, accuracy, and contamination-free process. |

| ABSTRACT | In one example, a cone clutch assembly including an inner cone member rotationally coupled to a first shaft, the inner cone member defining a first friction surface; an outer cone member rotationally coupled to a second shaft, the outer cone member defining a second friction surface opposing the first friction surface; and an independent friction member positioned between the inner and the outer cone member. The inner cone member and outer cone member are configured to be selectively engaged and disengaged from each other. When the inner cone member is engaged with the outer cone member, the first friction surface of the inner cone member frictionally engages one surface of the friction member, and the second friction surface of the outer cone member engages another surface of the friction member such that rotational motion is transferred between the inner and outer cone member via the friction member. |

| ABSTRACT | A polarization-separated, phase-shifted interferometer can generate interferograms without moving parts. It uses a phase shifter, such as an electro-optic phase modulator, to modulate the relative phase between sample and reference beams. These beams are transformed into orthogonal polarization states (e.g., horizontally and vertically polarized states) and coupled via a common path (e.g., polarization-maintaining fiber) to a polarizing beam splitter (PBS), which sends them into separate sample and reference arms. Quarter-wave plates in the sample and reference arms rotate the polarization states of the sample and reference beams so they are coupled out of the PBS to a detector via a 45° linear polarizer. The polarizer projects the aligned polarization components of the sample and reference beams onto the detector, where they interfere with known relative phase to produce an output that can be used to map surface topography of the test object. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for generating, transmitting, and utilizing a composite radar and communication waveform are disclosed. The composite radar and communication waveform may facilitate radar detection and data communication operations and may be generated from a frequency modulated (FM) radar waveform and a communication signal. In an aspect, the composite radar and communication waveform may be generated by iteratively executing a shaping process against the FM radar waveform and the communication signal until a first stop criterion is satisfied to produce an initial composite radar and communication waveform having the communication signal embedded therein, and then iteratively executing an enhancement process against the initial composite radar waveform and the communication signal until a second stop criterion is satisfied to produce a final composite radar and communication waveform suitable for both radar detection and data communication operations. |

| ABSTRACT | A space active optical cable (SAOC) includes a cable including one or more optical fibers, and two or more electrical transceivers on opposing ends of the cable and interconnected by the cable. Each of the electrical transceivers includes an enclosure that encloses one or more light sources, one or more light detectors, and control electronics. Also included in the enclosure are a coupling medium to couple light into and out of the one or more optical fibers. The coupling medium can be reflecting surface or an on-axis mount. The enclosure provides a suitable heat propagation and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and the cable and the two or more electrical transceivers are radiation resistant. SAOC features optionally support a health check algorithm that allows trending optical performance in the absence of an optical connector and a potential surface treatment to increase nominally low emissivity of an EMI conductive surface. |

| ABSTRACT | A content-addressable processing engine, also referred to herein as CAPE, is provided. Processing-in-memory (PIM) architectures attempt to overcome the von Neumann bottleneck by combining computation and storage logic into a single component. CAPE provides a general-purpose PIM microarchitecture that provides acceleration of vector operations while being programmable with standard reduced instruction set computing (RISC) instructions, such as RISC-V instructions with standard vector extensions. CAPE can be implemented as a standalone core that specializes in associative computing, and that can be integrated in a tiled multicore chip alongside other types of compute engines. Certain embodiments of CAPE achieve average speedups of 14× (up to 254×) over an area-equivalent out-of-order processor core tile with three levels of caches across a diverse set of representative applications. |

| ABSTRACT | In Multi-Policy Decision-Making (MPDM), many computationally-expensive forward simulations are performed in order to predict the performance of a set of candidate policies. In risk-aware formulations of MPDM, only the worst outcomes affect the decision making process, and efficiently finding these influential outcomes becomes the core challenge. Recently, stochastic gradient optimization algorithms, using a heuristic function, were shown to be significantly superior to random sampling. In this disclosure, it was shown that accurate gradients can be computed—even through a complex forward simulation—using approaches similar to those in dep networks. The proposed approach finds influential outcomes more reliably, and is faster than earlier methods, allowing one to evaluate more policies while simultaneously eliminating the need to design an easily-differentiable heuristic function. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention provides novel methods for treating or ameliorating symptoms of demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. The methods involve administering to subjects in need of treatment a pharmaceutical composition that contains a therapeutically effective amount of taurine and also a compound that induces oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) differentiation (e.g., T3, benztropine, clemastine or miconazole). Some of the methods additionally involve administration to the subject a known agent for treating demyelinating diseases (e.g., SIP receptor agonists) or a known disease modifying drug. The invention also provides methods for increasing myelination and methods for promoting OPC differentiation into oligodendrocytes. These methods entail contacting a population of OPCs with a combination of taurine and a known OPC differentiation-inducing agent such as T3, clemastine, benztropine or miconazole. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to a system and apparatus having an optic and a cooling system for cooling the optic. In one example an optically addressed light valve forms the optic. The cooling system includes first and second windows on opposing surfaces of the optically addressed light valve which constrain a cooling fluid to flow over the opposing surfaces. The fluid pressure outside the optically addressed light valve is low enough that it does not compress a liquid crystal gap of the optically addressed light valve. The cooling fluid is also transparent to a high powered light beam which is projected through the first and second windows, and also through the optically addressed light valve, during an additive manufacturing operation. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, methods, and devices for performing pattern-based cache block compression and decompression. An uncompressed cache block is input to the compressor. Byte values are identified within the uncompressed cache block. A cache block pattern is searched for in a set of cache block patterns based on the byte values. A compressed cache block is output based on the byte values and the cache block pattern. A compressed cache block is input to the decompressor. A cache block pattern is identified based on metadata of the cache block. The cache block pattern is applied to a byte dictionary of the cache block. An uncompressed cache block is output based on the cache block pattern and the byte dictionary. A subset of cache block patterns is determined from a training cache trace based on a set of compressed sizes and a target number of patterns for each size. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods, devices and systems for providing accurate measurements of timing errors using optical techniques are described. An example timing measurement device includes an optical hybrid that receives two optical pulse trains and produces two or more phase shifted optical outputs. The timing measurement device further includes two or more optical filters that receive the outputs of the optical hybrid to produce multiple pulse signals with distinctive frequency bands. The device also includes one or more photodetectors and analog-to-digital converters to receive to produce electrical signals in the digital domain corresponding to the optical outputs of the hybrid. A timing error associated with the optical pulse trains can be determined using the electrical signals in digital domain based on a computed phase difference between a first frequency band signal and a second frequency band signal and a computed frequency difference between the first frequency band signal and the second frequency band. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are provided for “on the fly” routing of data transmissions in the presence of errors. Switches can establish flow channels corresponding to flows in the network. In response to encountering a critical error on a network link along a transmission path, a switch can generate an error acknowledgement. The switch can transmit the error acknowledgements to ingress ports upstream from the network link via the plurality of flow channels. By transmitting the error acknowledgement, it indicates that the network link where the critical error was encountered is a failed link to ingress ports upstream from the failed link. Subsequently, each ingress port upstream from the failed link can dynamically update the path of the plurality of flows that are upstream from the failed link such that the plurality of flows that are upstream from the failed link are routed in a manner that avoids the failed link. |

| ABSTRACT | Precision and chip contamination-free placement of two-dimensional (2D) material and van der Waals (VDW) layered materials accelerates both the study of fundamental properties and novel device functionality. The system transfers 2D materials utilizing a combination of a narrow transfer-stamper and viscoelastic and optically transparent film. Precise placement of individual 2D materials results in vanishing cross-contamination to the substrate. The 2D printer results in an aerial cross-contamination improvement of two to three orders of magnitude relative to state-of-the-art transfer methods from a source of average area sub um{circumflex over ( )}2. The transfer-stamper does not physically harm any micro/nanostructures preexisting on the target substrates receiving the 2D material such as, nanoelectronics, waveguides or micro-ring resonators. Such accurate and substrate-benign transfer method for 2D and VDW layered materials provides rapid device prototyping due to its high time-reduction, accuracy, and contamination-free process. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus comprises a flexible filament structure, and a fiber optic sensor with a buffer material that locally bonds the fiber optic sensor to the flexible filament structure to create a bond between the fiber optic sensor and the flexible filament structure to transfer strain from the flexible filament structure to the fiber optic sensor to allow the fiber optic sensor to detect strain on the flexible filament structure while maintaining flexibility in the flexible filament structure. A fiber optic interrogator may be optically coupled to the fiber optic sensor and configured to measure strain. A method comprises embedding a fiber optic sensor with a buffer material in or on a flexible filament structure. Thereafter, the buffer material is activated via heating or curing to locally adhere the fiber optic sensor to the flexible filament structure to create a local bond. The local bond transfers strain from the flexible filament structure to the fiber optic sensor. |

| ABSTRACT | A statistical audibility prediction (SAP) method for predicting the audibility of a signal over time at a listening location, the signal from a signal source in the presence of a concurrent masking sound or masker from a masker source. The method includes receiving, via a processor over a plurality of auditory channels, a specific loudness of the signal and masker at the listening location. The method includes calculating for each auditory channel a standard deviation of a distribution of the specific loudness of the signal and masker, and calculating, via the processor, corresponding channel-specific detectability indices (d′t,i) for each auditory channel as a function of their standard deviations. The corresponding channel-specific detectability indices are then summed to produce a total detectability index (d′t), which may be output as an electronic signal that indicates the predicted audibility vs. time, e.g., to a downstream process and/or system or offline. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are provided for “on the fly” routing of data transmissions in the presence of errors. Switches can establish flow channels corresponding to flows in the network. In response to encountering a critical error on a network link along a transmission path, a switch can generate an error acknowledgement. The switch can transmit the error acknowledgements to ingress ports upstream from the network link via the plurality of flow channels. By transmitting the error acknowledgement, it indicates that the network link where the critical error was encountered is a failed link to ingress ports upstream from the failed link. Subsequently, each ingress port upstream from the failed link can dynamically update the path of the plurality of flows that are upstream from the failed link such that the plurality of flows that are upstream from the failed link are routed in a manner that avoids the failed link. |

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, June 04, 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.
