ABSTRACT A genetically modified vertebrate is provided that has an enhanced sense due to an over representation of a predetermined odorant receptor. The vertebrate is genetically modified by introduction of DNA that comprises at least four sequential repeats of a sequence whose primary structure is at least 90% homologous with ACATAACTTTTTAATGAGTCT (SEQ ID NO: 1). The DNA causes a nearby odorant receptor coding sequence to be over represented in a singular gene choice fashion relative to a corresponding vertebrate that lacks the DNA.

ABSTRACT A system and method for non-invasively generating a report of cardiac electrical activities of a subject includes determining, using cardiac electrical activation information, equivalent current densities (ECDs). The ECDs are assembled into time-course ECD information and a spectrum of the time-course ECD information is analyzed to determine peaks for spectral characteristics of atrial fibrillation (AF). The spectral characteristics of AF are correlated with potential electrical sources of the AF and a report is generated indicating the potential electrical sources of the AF spatially registered with the medical imaging data.

ABSTRACT A system and method for controlling the delivery of ultrasound energy to a subject is provided. In particular, such a system and method are capable of safely disrupting the blood-brain barrier. Ultrasound energy is delivered to produce cavitation of an ultrasound contrast agent at a selected pressure value. An acoustic signal is acquired following cavitation, from which a signal spectrum is produced. The signal spectrum is analyzed for the presence of harmonics, such as subharmonics or ultraharmonics. When subharmonics or ultraharmonics are present, the pressure value is decreased for subsequent sonications. If a previous sonication resulted in no subharmonics or ultraharmonics being generated, then the pressure value may be increased. In this manner, the blood-brain barrier can be advantageously disrupted while mitigating potentially injurious effects of the sonication.

ABSTRACT In a patient suffering from neural impairment, stimulation is provided to sensory surfaces of the face and/or neck, or more generally to areas of the body that stimulate the trigeminal nerve, while performing an activity intended to stimulate a brain function to be rehabilitated. The simulation may then be continued after the performance of the activity has ceased. It has been found that the patient's performance of the activity is then improved after stimulation has ceased. Moreover, it tends to improve to a greater extent, and/or for a longer time, when the post-activity stimulation is applied, as compared to when post activity stimulation is not applied.

ABSTRACT The disclosure provides methods to isolate genome or chromosome level structural information from preserved samples. In some cases, samples preserved under conditions where long-range nucleic acid information is believed to be irreparably lost, such as FFPE samples, are treated to recover nucleic acid-protein complexes stabilized as part of the sample preservation process. The complexes are processed so as to recover information regarding which nucleic acids are bound to a common complex, and the information is used to recover genomic structural information.

ABSTRACT Disclosed herein is a system and method for increasing the fidelity of measured genetic data, for making allele calls, and for determining the state of aneuploidy, in one or a small set of cells, or from fragmentary DNA, where a limited quantity of genetic data is available. Poorly or incorrectly measured base pairs, missing alleles and missing regions are reconstructed using expected similarities between the target genome and the genome of genetically related individuals. In accordance with one embodiment, incomplete genetic data from an embryonic cell are reconstructed at a plurality of loci using the more complete genetic data from a larger sample of diploid cells from one or both parents, with or without haploid genetic data from one or both parents. In another embodiment, the chromosome copy number can be determined from the measured genetic data, with or without genetic information from one or both parents.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for designing and manufacturing electromagnetic coils for use with a magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) system are described. More particularly, described here are methods for designing and manufacturing gradient coils for producing magnetic field gradients with greater peripheral nerve stimulation (“PNS”) thresholds relative to conventional gradient coils. The gradient coil design is constrained using an oracle penalty that is computed to account for a PNS requirement for the coil. In other applications, the oracle penalty can be used to optimize driving patterns for an electromagnetic stimulation system, such that a target PNS requirement is achieved.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods provide a parallelized deep learning approach to spectral fitting for magnetic resonance spectroscopy data enabling accurate and rapid spectral fitting and determination of metabolite measurements using a conventional computer. The method may include processing multi-spectra magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy data of a region of interest through a series of neural networks. The method may include determining baseline components of each spectrum using a first neural network of the series, generating baseline-corrected components for each spectrum using the baseline components; and determining one or more peak components of each spectrum using a second neural network of the series and the baseline-corrected components. The method may further include determining one or more metabolite measurements of the one or more metabolites in the region of interest using the one or more peak components.

ABSTRACT A system generates a context mask based on quantitative image data. The system obtains the quantitative image data which was captured via a quantitative imaging of a sample. The quantitative image data is compared to previous quantitative image data through application of the quantitative image data to a neural network trained using the previous quantitative image data and corresponding constructed context masks. The comparison generates the context mask for the quantitative image data. The context mask provides context for the quantitative parameter values that facilities characterization of the sample.

ABSTRACT Techniques are used for adaptation of drug-administration parameters that control insulin delivery in a blood glucose control system. One technique provides long-term adaptation of a nominal basal infusion rate, adapting to longer-term changes in a patient's needs due to growth, illness, hormonal fluctuations, physical activity, aging, etc. Another technique provides adaptation of priming dose size at mealtimes for overall better glycemic control and also adapting to longer-term changes in a patient's needs. Adaptation calculations use a receding-horizon window of recent values of the adapted parameter. Doses of a counter-regulatory agent (e.g., glucagon) may also be delivered in response to information about estimated accumulation of exogenously infused insulin (subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, or intravenously) and/or the effect insulin might have on glucose levels (blood glucose concentration or interstitial fluid glucose concentration).

ABSTRACT A high-flux direct air capture (DAC) contactor is provided. The contactor includes stainless steel mesh elements interlaced into a structured packing to increase the effective surface area for a suitable solvent. In laboratory testing, the contactor demonstrated significant potential in driving down the cost of solvent absorption-based DAC due to its high specific surface area and CO2 uptake efficiency, resistance to corrosion, optimal wettability, smaller relative size, and low manufacturing cost. As a potential breakthrough strategy, the highly efficient CO2 capture contactor can be employed to significantly reduce capital costs in a compact DAC system.

ABSTRACT A system for decoding an unknown automotive controller area network (“CAN”) message definitions. CAN data vehicle signal mappings are typically held in secret and varied by automotive model and year. Without knowledge of the mappings, the wealth of real-time vehicle data hidden in the automotive CAN packets is uninterpretable—impeding research, after-market tuning, efficiency and performance monitoring, fault diagnosis, and privacy-related technologies. This system can ascertain the CAN signals' boundaries (start bit and length), endianness (byte ordering), signedness (binary-to-integer encoding) from raw CAN data. This allows conversion of CAN data to time series. Interpreting the translated CAN data's physical meaning and finding a linear mapping to standard units (e.g., knowing the signal is speed and scaling values to represent units of miles per hour) can be achieved for many signals by leveraging diagnostic standards to obtain real-time measurements of in-vehicle systems. The system can be integrated into lightweight hardware enabling an OBD-II plugin for real-time in-vehicle CAN decoding or run on standard computers. The system can output a standard DBC file with the signal definition information.

ABSTRACT Polymerization-induced phase separation enables fine control over thermoset network morphologies, yielding heterogeneous structures with domain sizes tunable over 1-100 nm. However, the controlled chain-growth polymerization techniques exclusively employed to regulate morphology at these length scales are unsuitable for most thermoset materials typically formed through step-growth mechanisms. By employing binary mixtures in place of the classic constituents of phase-separating thermosets—resin, curing agent, and secondary polymer—facile tunability over morphology can be achieved through a single compositional parameter. Indeed, this method yields morphologies spanning nano-scale to macro-scale, controlled by the relative reactivities and thermodynamic compatibility of the network components. Due to the connection between chain dynamics and microstructure in these materials, the tunable morphology enables exquisite control over glass transition and other physical and mechanical properties.

ABSTRACT Data are serially communicated over an interconnect between an encoder and a decoder. The encoder includes a first training unit to count a frequency of symbol values in symbol blocks of a set of N number of symbol blocks in an epoch. A circular shift unit of the encoder stores a set of most-recently-used (MRU) amplitude values. An XOR unit is coupled to the first training unit and the first circular shift unit as inputs and to the interconnect as output. A transmitter is coupled to the encoder XOR unit and the interconnect and thereby contemporaneously sends symbols and trains on the symbols. In a system, a device includes a receiver and decoder that receive, from the encoder, symbols over the interconnect. The decoder includes its own training unit for decoding the transmitted symbols.

ABSTRACT A system is described that exhibits the functionality of a beam-splitter, typically an optical device that splits a beam of light in two. In this case, the beams are acoustic pulses and can lead to the creation of a Wannier-Mott exciton: a bound state of an electron and an electron hole whose attraction to each other is maintained by the electrostatic Coulomb force. This exciton beam-splitter is lossy (i.e., involves the dissipation of electrical or electromagnetic energy). Half of the time the exciton is radiated away. Nevertheless, if the exciton is not lost, the exciton is now in a superposition of two states that can be well separated in position. Four such beam-splitters can be used to make an exciton interferometer that uses the interference patterns from the interacting acoustic pulses to extract information.

ABSTRACT Exemplary embodiments provide thermal wear spreading among a plurality of thermal die regions in an integrated circuit or among dies by using die region wear-out data that represents a cumulative amount of time each of a number of thermal die regions in one or more dies has spent at a particular temperature level. In one example, die region wear-out data is stored in persistent memory and is accrued over a life of each respective thermal region so that a long term monitoring of temperature levels in the various die regions is used to spread thermal wear among the thermal die regions. In one example, spreading thermal wear is done by controlling task execution such as thread execution among one or more processing cores, dies and/or data access operations for a memory.

ABSTRACT A method for the regeneration of cathode material from spent lithium-ion batteries is provided. The method includes dissolving a lithium precursor in a polyhydric alcohol to form a solution. Degraded cathode material containing lithium metal oxides are dispersed into the solution under mechanical stirring, forming a mixture. The mixture is heat treated within a reactor vessel or microwave oven. During this heat treatment, lithium is intercalated into the degraded cathode material. The relithiated electrode material is collected by filtration, washing with solvents, and drying. The relithiated electrode material is then ground with a lithium precursor and thermally treated at a relatively low temperature for a predetermined time period to obtain regenerated cathode material.

ABSTRACT Mixed-phase TiO2 nanofibers prepared via a sol-gel technique followed by electrospinning and calcination are provided as photocatalysts. The calcination temperature is adjusted to control the rutile phase fraction in TiO2 nanofibers relative to the anatase phase. Post-calcined TiO2 nanofibers composed of 38 wt % rutile and 62 wt % anatase exhibited the highest initial rate constant of UV photocatalysis. This can be attributed to the combined influences of the fibers' specific surface areas and their phase compositions.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods interconnect cell culture devices and/or fluidic devices by transferring discrete volumes of fluid between devices. A liquid-handling system collects a volume of fluid from at least one source device and deposits the fluid into at least one destination device. In some embodiments, a liquid-handling robot actuates the movement and operation of a fluid collection device in an automated manner to transfer the fluid between the at least one source device and the at least one destination device. In some cases, the at least one source device and the at least one destination device are cell culture devices. The at least one source device and the at least one destination device may be microfluidic or non-microfluidic devices. In some cases, the cell culture devices may be microfluidic cell culture devices. In further cases, the microfluidic cell culture devices may include organ-chips.

ABSTRACT A turbofan engine has a fan portion in fluid communication with a core stream and a bypass stream of air separated by splitters disposed both upstream and downstream of the fan portion. A blade splitter (shroud) on the fan partially spans the fan blade thus separating the core and bypass streams downstream while leaving a gap upstream for communication between the flows. The communication gap expands the operational range of the fan over fans without the communication gap.

ABSTRACT The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that provides a polymer heat exchanger with internal microscale flow passages. The system includes a set of plates comprised of a polymer that includes internal microscale flow passages, which are configured to carry a liquid. The set of plates is organized into a stack, wherein consecutive plates in the stack are separated by fins to form intervening air passages. The system includes a liquid flow pathway, which flows from a liquid inlet, through the internal microscale flow passages in the stack of plates, to a liquid outlet. It also includes an airflow pathway, which flows from an airflow inlet, through the intervening air passages between the consecutive plates in the stack of plates, to an airflow outlet. The liquid flow pathway flows in a direction opposite to a direction of the airflow pathway to provide a counterflow design that optimizes heat transfer between the liquid flow pathway and the airflow pathway.

ABSTRACT A method of thermally protecting a leading edge of a hypersonic system includes saturating an annular primary wick in contact with an evaporator and having a first pore size with a phase change material by means of an annularly-inward secondary wick having a second pore size and being coupled to a liquid line, the second pore size being larger than the first, where a first end of the secondary wick extends into a reservoir and a second end of the secondary wick extends into the evaporator, the second end of the secondary wick having a terminal end. The method includes terminating the liquid line inside of the evaporator, transferring thermal energy from the leading edge into the phase change material, raising the temperature of the phase change material to a phase-change temperature, changing phase of the phase change material, and carrying away heat from the leading edge.

ABSTRACT A sensor and method for the rapid detection of fluoride containing gaseous species specifically the chemical warfare agents Sarin and Soman nerve gas, in which a chemically sensitive composition containing dye indicator molecules complexed with a heavy metal salt is exposed to an environment under surveillance for toxic gasses. In one embodiment the sensing composition is introduced into a polymer-based substrate. The detection composition reacts with hydrogen fluoride which is a decomposition by-product of Sarin and Soman gas so as to change the color of the dye indicator, in one embodiment being pentamethoxy red, that is to change the color of the polymer-based substrate from colorless to a dark purple color. The complex of pentamethoxy red with the exemplary heavy metal salt, zirconyl chloride, is specific for Sarin and Soman nerve gas; it does not react to certain other toxic gases. In various embodiments a hydrolyzing agent is introduced in the polymer-based substrate to improve the detection reaction sensitivity and to increase the reaction rate and decrease the detection time for sensor chemistry.

ABSTRACT A radio frequency (RF) transmission line is described. The RF transmission line includes a first ground line, a second ground line, and a signal line disposed on a substrate and forming a coplanar waveguide. A plasma limiter feature is integrated into an internal surface of one or more of the first ground line, the second ground line, and the signal line. The plasma limiter decreases a gap distance between the signal line and the associated ground line. The gap distance is selected, together with a gas pressure, to control a voltage at which the gas within the gap breaks down, targeted at a breakdown power of 1 W across a wide bandwidth. The plasma limiter thus limits a power transmitted by way of the RF transmission line for protecting a sensitive integrated circuit.

ABSTRACT A three-dimensional stereo vision camera communicates the location of a targeted fruit (preferably an apple) to a controller. The controller directs a vacuum selection tube to the location of the targeted apple. The selection tube has a gripping orifice that has a smaller diameter than the apple so that the vacuum suction from the selection tube grips the apple. The selected fruit is then rotated and pulled away from the tree canopy by the selection tube until the apple detaches from the canopy. The detached apple is then gently placed in a collection bin for later sorting and processing.

ABSTRACT Systems and methods for measuring skin tone. A camera and computer may measure skin tone health of a face dataset and color quality of a single face image. The computer and camera may measure skin tone across wide sample of volunteers, express skin tone in CIELCH coordinates; and identify the range of observed lightness, chromaticity, and hue values in the population to determine a sample set. The computer and camera may be configured to match the image to a coordinate system of lightness, chromaticity, and hue in the sample set. If a match is not possible, the computer may be configured to select a coordinate closest to the measured lightness, chromaticity, and hue.

ABSTRACT A packet-processing method includes looking up a first match-action table on a network interface card (NIC) for a received packet; in response to finding a matching entry indicating an action, queuing the received packet in a first queue and storing the action data in an instruction memory; and responsive to not finding a matching entry, queuing the received packet in the first queue and a second queue. The method includes selecting a first packet from the first queue for processing, which comprises performing a corresponding action stored in the instruction memory; selecting a second packet from the second queue for processing, which comprises forwarding a portion of the second packet to a processor, which looks up a second match-action table; and receiving, from the processor, a lookup result, thereby allowing a third packet in the first queue corresponding to the second packet to be processed based on the lookup result.

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, August 20, 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.
