| ABSTRACT | Foam-based pneumatic actuators can be formed in a state of mechanical compression prior to actuation. An actuator includes an elastomeric foam; a coating disposed on the elastomeric foam; and an elastomer seal disposed on the coating. The coating constrains the elastomeric foam and can be configured to break or fracture when the elastomeric foam inflates. The elastomer seal can be configured to be impermeable to the actuating fluid. Such a foam actuator can be used in a cardiac compression device. These foam actuators possess increased actuation deformation and an actuation exerted force for a given inflation pressure. A large deformation can be provided from materials having low ultimate strains. |

| ABSTRACT | A flange for a pressure vessel includes a rim, a sealing seat, and an undercut fillet. The rim has an annular surface for abutting an annular end of a cylindrical wall of the pressure vessel. The sealing seat has a cylindrical surface for abutting an inner surface of the cylindrical wall of the pressure vessel nearby the annular end. The undercut fillet is disposed between the rim and the sealing seat. A concave surface of the undercut fillet extends the annular surface of the rim radially inward and then curves back outward to intersect the cylindrical surface of the sealing seat. The undercut fillet of the flange helps distribute stress produced from a pressure differential between the inside and outside of the pressure vessel. |

| ABSTRACT | A flight control computer (FCC) may implement automatic rotor tilt control by gathering or receiving, as inputs, airspeed or a commanded airspeed for the aircraft, acceleration or a commanded acceleration for the aircraft, pitch attitude of the aircraft and pilot pitch bias commands for the aircraft, a rotor tilt angle, and/or the like. The FCC calculates, from the airspeed, the commanded airspeed, the acceleration, the commanded acceleration, the pitch attitude, the pilot pitch bias commands, and/or the like, a commanded rotor tilt angle for the aircraft. From the aircraft rotor tilt angle and the commanded rotor tilt angle, the FCC calculates a rotor tilt angle error for the aircraft, and from the rotor tilt angle error, calculates a rotor tilt rate command for the aircraft. The FCC outputs the resulting rotor tilt rate command to (an) aircraft flight control element actuator(s) to tilt the aircraft rotor. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods that expand the properties of laser-induced graphene (LIG) and the resulting LIG having the expanded properties. Methods of fabricating laser-induced graphene from materials, which range from natural, renewable precursors (such as cloth or paper) to high performance polymers (like Kevlar). With multiple lasing, however, highly conductive PEI-based LIG could be obtained using both multiple pass and defocus methods. The resulting laser-induced graphene can be used, inter alia, in electronic devices, as antifouling surfaces, in water treatment technology, in membranes, and in electronics on paper and food Such methods include fabrication of LIG in controlled atmospheres, such that, for example, superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic LIG surfaces can be obtained. Such methods further include fabricating laser-induced graphene by multiple lasing of carbon precursors. Such methods further include direct 3D printing of graphene materials from carbon precurors. Application of such LIG include oil/water separation, liquid or gas separations using polymer membranes, anti-icing, microsupercapacitors, supercapacitors, water splitting catalysts, sensors, and flexible electronics. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure provides data showing that LEFTY inhibits differentiation-promoting pathways such as BMP7/pSMAD5 in breast cancer cell lines, over and above its known role of inhibiting Nodal/pSMAD2. LEFTY competes with BMP7 to bind to its cell surface receptor BMPR2, leading to inhibition of pSMAD5. The LEFTY-BMPR2 interaction is dominant over BMP-BMPR2 in tumorigenic cells, resulting in diminished pSMAD status, whereas in non-tumorigenic cells, there is minimal LEFTY-BMPR2 interaction, increased BMP7-BMPR2 association, and elevated pSMAD. Compositions and methods for inducing or inhibiting expression and/or the activity of LEFTY and BMP proteins are described, which can be used in diagnosis and therapy of cancer and other conditions, and to promote proliferation of stem cells. |

| ABSTRACT | A coating apparatus for the reduction of aerodynamic noise and vibrations. The coating apparatus is configured to include a group of fibrillar structures, wherein each fibrillar structure is configured with a diverging tip so that the coating reduces the size of and shifts downstream, a separation bubble, and modulates large-scale recirculating motion. Each fibrillar structure can be configured as a cylindrical micropillar. The group of fibrillar structures can be configured as a group of uniformly distributed cylindrical micropillars (e.g., one or more micropillar arrays). The surface coating is effective in reducing the separation bubble and displacing the separation bubble downstream. The coating facilitates a reduction in noise (e.g., aerodynamic noise) and vibrations due to the reduction in the size of the separation bubble. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus for passive coherent location includes a forecaster, an evaluator, a receiver, and a correlator. The forecaster generates a prediction of a radio-frequency signal transmitted from an antenna of a broadcasting service. The evaluator generates an effectiveness metric from the prediction of the radio-frequency signal. The receiver receives the radio-frequency signal that an object reflects from the antenna to the receiver. The correlator determines, from the radio-frequency signal reflected from the object as received at the receiver, an ambiguity function having a maximum at a temporal offset and a Doppler shift. The temporal offset and the Doppler shift at the maximum partially determine at least a position of the object. The apparatus optionally includes a selector for tuning the receiver to the radio-frequency signal in response to the effectiveness metric. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for clock synchronization are disclosed. A client synchronization system (CSS) may transmit RF pulses to a server CSS over micrometeorite ionization trail (MMIT) channels, and may receive RF pulses from the server CSS over MMIT channels, each received RF pulse following transmitted RF pulse. The client CSS may receive from the server CSS over MMIT channels measurement data including pulse arrival times at the server CSS. The measurement and transmission data may be correlated to identify RF-pulse pairs, each pairing a transmitted RF pulse received by the server CSS with a received RF pulse received from the server CSS, both over the same MMIT. TWTT analysis may be applied to timing data the pairs to compute time offsets between a client clock and a server clock. An analytical model of clock drift may be applied to the offsets to synchronize the client clock to the server clock. |

| ABSTRACT | Various systems, techniques, and embodiments are disclosed for implementing a blood-pressure measurement method that does not require specialized equipment (such as inflatable blood pressure cuffs). The measurement can be taken from arterial locations within a user's finger, via the standard equipment and features of many widely-available consumer mobile devices. Such devices can be programmed to accurately and easily guide a user to press her finger on the screen of a device at a precise location, so that an accurate measurement can be taken. For example, guidance visualizations on a screen (such as finger silhouettes and animations) can be employed on the same screen on which a user presses her finger. Pressure sensitivity and optical camera readings are then used to calculate blood pressure for the user. |

| ABSTRACT | Peptide analogs of a θ-defensin have been developed that provide a biphasic effect in treating disseminated fungal disease and/or associated septic shock. These analogs are active at concentrations below those needed to provide a fungicidal effect, and function by initially mobilizing effector cells of the immune system to address the infective organism followed by regulation of the immune system to down regulate the inflammatory response. These θ-defensin analogs are protective at concentrations where naturally occurring θ-defensins have no apparent effect, and include a core set of structural and sequence features not found in native θ-defensins. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments disclosed herein provide methods of using somatic mutations in mitochondrial genomes to retrospectively infer cell lineages in native contexts and to serve as genetic barcodes to measure clonal dynamics in complex cellular populations. Further, somatic mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are tracked by single cell genomic approaches for simultaneous analysis of single cell lineage and state. Applicants further show that mitochondrial mutations can be readily detected with contemporary single cell transcriptomic and epigenomic technologies to concomitantly capture gene expression profiles and chromatin accessibility, respectively. |

| ABSTRACT | System and techniques for evicting a cache line with pending control request are described herein. A memory request—that includes an address corresponding to a set of cache lines—can be received. A determination can be made that a cache line of the set of cache lines will be evicted to process the memory request. Another determination can be made that a control request has been made to a host from the memory device and that the control request pending when it is determined that the cache line will be evicted. Here, a counter corresponding to the set of cache lines can be incremented (e.g., by one) to track the pending control request in face of eviction. Then, the cache line can be evicted. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention advances the ratio method of phosphor thermography using two machine vision cameras for full-field temperature measurements of a solid surface. As an example, algorithms from digital image correlation (DIC) can be used to determine the stereoscopic imaging system intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, and accurately register material points on the sample to subpixel locations in each image with 0.07 px or better accuracy. A phosphor calibration sample fabricated using aerosol deposition can be used for in situ determination of the temperature-versus-intensity ratio relationship. The full calibration methodology and several improvements on two-color phosphor thermography open the door for full-field temperature measurements in dynamic tests with deforming test specimens. In particular, thermographic phosphors can be combined with stereo digital image correlation in a novel diagnostic, TP+DIC, to measure time-resolved full-field surface strains and temperatures simultaneously, thereby enabling testing in combined thermo-mechanical environments. |

| ABSTRACT | An silicon-containing electrode is formed by coating a silicon-containing slurry onto a conductive current collector. The slurry comprises a binder solution comprising a poly(carboxylic acid) binder dissolved in a mixed solvent system comprising an amide solvent of Formula I, as described herein, and a second solvent which can be water and/or an organic solvent. The binder preferably comprises poly(acrylic acid). The mixed solvent system comprises about 10 to about 99 vol % of the amide solvent of Formula I. The binder solution is utilized as a solvent for a slurry of silicon-containing particles for preparing the silicon-containing electrode. The slurries comprising the mixed solvent system have higher viscosity and are more stable than slurries containing the same concentrations of silicon particles, carbon particles, and binder in water as the sole solvent. |

| ABSTRACT | A hybrid receiver for a concentrator photovoltaic-thermal power system combines a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) module and a thermal module that converts concentrated sunlight into electrical energy and thermal heat. Heat transfer fluid flowing through a cooling block removes waste heat generated by photovoltaic cells in the CPV module. The heat transfer fluid then flows through a helical tube illuminated by sunlight that misses the CPV module. Only one fluid system is used to both remove the photovoltaic-cell waste heat and capture high-temperature thermal energy from sunlight. Fluid leaving the hybrid receiver can have a temperature greater than 200° C., and therefore may be used as a source of process heat for a variety of commercial and industrial applications. The hybrid receiver can maintain the photovoltaic cells at temperatures below 110° C. while achieving overall energy conversion efficiencies exceeding 80%. |

| ABSTRACT | A vehicle collects video data of an environment surrounding the vehicle including traffic entities, e.g., pedestrians, bicyclists, or other vehicles. The captured video data is sampled and the sampled video frames are presented to users to provide input on a traffic entity's state of mind. The system determines an attribute value that describes a statistical distribution of user responses for the traffic entity. If the attribute for a sampled video frame is within a threshold of the attribute of another video frame, the system interpolates attribute for a third video frame between the two sampled video frames. Otherwise, the system requests further user input for a video frame captured between the two sampled video frames. The interpolated and/or user based attributes are used to train a machine learning based model that predicts a hidden context of the traffic entity. The trained model is used for navigation of autonomous vehicles. |

| ABSTRACT | A coating apparatus for the reduction of aerodynamic noise and vibrations. The coating apparatus is configured to include a group of fibrillar structures, wherein each fibrillar structure is configured with a diverging tip so that the coating reduces the size of and shifts downstream, a separation bubble, and modulates large-scale recirculating motion. Each fibrillar structure can be configured as a cylindrical micropillar. The group of fibrillar structures can be configured as a group of uniformly distributed cylindrical micropillars (e.g., one or more micropillar arrays). The surface coating is effective in reducing the separation bubble and displacing the separation bubble downstream. The coating facilitates a reduction in noise (e.g., aerodynamic noise) and vibrations due to the reduction in the size of the separation bubble. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for detecting a two-qubit correlated dephasing error includes accessing a signal of a quantum system, where the quantum system includes a plurality of qubits. Every qubit has a nonzero rate of dephasing and some qubits have a nonzero rate of correlated dephasing. The signal further includes information about a matrix that includes diagonal elements and off-diagonal elements. The off-diagonal elements of the matrix are 2s-sparse. The method further includes performing randomized measurements of the off-diagonal elements of the matrix and recovering the matrix based on a direct measurement of the diagonal elements of the matrix. |

| ABSTRACT | An airfoil for a gas turbine engine is configured to extend in a radial direction relative to an engine axis from an inner diameter to an outer diameter. The airfoil comprises a body having a base disposed at the inner diameter, a tip disposed at the outer diameter, a leading edge, a trailing edge, and pressure and suction side walls extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge and between the base and the tip. The body defines an interior cavity. A first wall is disposed in the interior cavity, extends radially, and adjoins the pressure side wall and the suction side wall to form a first cooling channel. A first hole through the first wall connects the first cooling channel to a second cooling channel. The first hole has a profile that tapers inward toward the base. |

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 18, 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.
