| ABSTRACT | Synergistic drug combinations with the small molecule PAC-1 against uveal or cutaneous melanoma. There are no current targeted drug treatments for the mutations associated with uveal melanoma. Despite primary radiation or surgical therapy, up to 50% of patients eventually develop metastatic disease, for which there is no standard therapy nor treatment shown to improve overall survival. Drug combinations with PAC-1 allow the use of lower dosages of this compound that result in cancer cell death in uveal melanoma. Drug combinations of PAC-1 with the kinase inhibitor entrectinib have shown a synergistic effect against uveal melanoma cell lines. Specifically, PAC-1 and entrectinib are synergistic against wild-type and mutant uveal melanoma cell lines (e.g., GNAQ and GNA11). |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides an improved tissue adhesive to repair defects in soft tissue. Following ASTM standard tests, crosslinked methacryloyl-substituted gelatin hydrogels of the present invention (GelSEAL) were shown to exhibit adhesive properties, i.e. wound closure strength, shear resistance and burst pressure, that were superior to clinically used fibrin- and poly(ethylene glycol)-based glues. Chronic in vivo experiments in rats proved GelSEAL to effectively seal large lung leakages without additional sutures or staples, presenting improved performance as compared to fibrin and poly(ethylene glycol) glues. Furthermore, subcutaneous implantation in rats revealed high biocompatibility of GelSEAL as evidenced by low inflammatory host response. Advantageously, the tissue adhesives of the present invention are low cost and easy to produce, making them a promising substance to be used as a sealant for fluid leakages in soft tissue, as well as an easily tunable platform to further optimize the adhesive characteristics. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention includes a spray drying disposable device for use in a spray drying system. The disposable has a spray drying head and a plasma drying chamber. The head has a spray dry nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the plasma source and the pressurized aerosol gas source. The pressurized gas flows in a vortex pattern that atomizes plasma droplets in the chamber. The head also includes a plenum has uniform air pressure of the drying gas. A baffle plate forms the floor of the plenum having drying gas jets that supply drying gas to the chamber. The atomized plasma droplets evaporate in the presence of the drying gas emitted from the jets to obtain dried plasma particles and humid air. A capture filter captures the dried plasma particles and allows the humid air to pass. The humid air passes through the gas outlet and the exhaust port. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to a microfluidic flow process for making polymers, polymers made by such processes, and methods of using such polymers. In such process, a novel reagent delivery setup is used in conjunction with microfluidic reaction technology to synthesize anionic polymerization reaction products from superheated monomer orders of magnitude faster than is possible in batch and continuous syntheses. The aforementioned process does not require the cryogenic temperatures which are required for such syntheses in batch or bulk continuous. Thus the aforementioned process is more economically efficient and reduces the environmental impact of linear polymer production. |

| ABSTRACT | A computer implemented method is provided for in-flight trajectory steering a vehicle by an optimal path to a destination. This includes incorporating physical constants; setting initial angle of attack (AoA) and initial AoA rate; incrementing flight AoA; measuring operation parameters; establishing a flight trajectory; calculating an optimal trajectory; comparing flight trajectories; and commanding flight control. The physical constants include gravity and atmospheric conditions. The flight AoA increments from the initial AoA and any prior increments. The operation parameters of the vehicle include pressure, velocity and flight path angle. The flight trajectory denotes the vehicle's path to its destination based on the operation parameters using the physical constants. The optimal trajectory is based on with altitude and velocity of the vehicle. The flight trajectory is compared to the optimal trajectory as a steering correction by altering the flight AoA. The vehicle's flight control executes the steering correction at the flight AoA. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of measuring thermal conductivity of a material includes focusing a modulated pump laser beam having a modulation frequency that induces a cyclical steady-state temperature rise at a spot of a material, focusing a CW probe laser beam at the spot and generating a reflected probe beam reflected from the spot on the material, the reflected probe beam having a magnitude of a reflectance signal as a function of the temperature of the material and being periodic corresponding to the cyclical temperature rise, measuring the magnitude of the reflectance signals of the reflected probe beam, and determining the thermal conductivity by fitting the power of the pump beam and the measured magnitude of the reflectance signal to a thermal model which is a function of a thermal conductivity of the material relating the radial heat flux to the temperature rise. |

| ABSTRACT | An embedded software analyzer (ESA) detects vulnerabilities in software, such as embedded software items (e.g., software that is pre-loaded onto a device or component). Vulnerabilities may include flaws, glitches, weaknesses, and/or other elements that may prevent correct operation or allow an attacker to access or exploit the software (and/or associated devices, components, systems, etc.) The ESA may utilize techniques such as fuzzing and symbolic execution to identify vulnerabilities. The ESA may predict vulnerabilities and prioritize analysis based on the prediction. The ESA may use smart seeding to optimize fuzzing or other analysis. Such smart seeding may include generating optimized inputs for a particular software item. The ESA may apply machine learning to perform, optimize, and/or otherwise implement such analysis techniques. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for the generation and use of session keys supporting secure communications between a client and server device are disclosed. The client device has or receives a password, which it hashes a predetermined first number of times. The hashed password is sent as a message digest to a server. The server applies the hashed password to a an array of PUF devices, and receives a response bitstream which is stored. The client later hashes the password a second predetermined number of times, which is less than the first predetermined number, and this second message digest is sent to the server. The server continues to hash the second message digest, generate PUF responses, and compare the result to the initially stored responses. The number of hashes necessary to achieve a match is the session key. |

| ABSTRACT | A large and highly diverse nanobody library was constructed and screened against multiple variants of SARS-COV-2 to find nanobodies with high sensitivity and specificity for the variants. Four rounds of positive selection against a panel of six diverse SARS-COV-2 variant RBDs was performed with our high-diversity. At least 59 of these nanobodies were found to work well against Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Kappa, Lambda and Mu with some overlap efficacy against other variants. These nanobodies have efficacy as stand-alone nanobodies and as a construct comprising nanobodies linked to the human IgG1 constant fragment (Fc) (nanobody-hFc constructions or nb-hFcs) to make enhanced humanized sdAbs with all the attributes of nanobodies with improved half-life and optimized effector functions. Several promising nanobodies that neutralize the original SARS-COV-2 and several of its variants have been identified, including Delta, with high efficacy. In particular, a subset of these nanobodies bind to the Omicron RBD. |

| ABSTRACT | Polymer composite photonic crystal materials are disclosed as coatings which have high reflection (>30%) in a specific range of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet (<400 nm), visible (Vis, 400 nm-700 nm), or near-infrared radiation range (NIR, 700-2000 nm), and relatively low reflection (<20% reflection) in a second, different range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Surprisingly, it was found that through a formulation and additives approach, the optical properties of polymer composite photonic crystal films can be selectively modified from a variety of different coating methods, including spray deposition. |

| ABSTRACT | Flow meters may include a body defining a fluid channel therein. At least one structure may be positioned within the fluid channel, and fixed relative to the body, that is shaped and positioned to produce a flow-induced vibration that varies according to a rate of fluid flow through the fluid channel. A method of measuring a fluid flow rate may include directing a fluid over a first structure located in a first channel, and producing a first flow-induced vibration that varies according to a rate of fluid flow in a first channel with the first structure. The method may further include measuring the vibration of a remote structure coupled to the first channel, and determining the rate of fluid flow in the first channel from the measured vibration. |

| ABSTRACT | A subsurface continuous radioisotope environmental monitor that provides a continuous monitoring of the possible presence of radioactive species in subsurface groundwater. The detector and all supporting system elements are specifically constructed and equipped to be permanently mounted in a well or borehole to continuously detect and record radiation decay of radioactive species that are borne by subsurface water flow to that sampling area. The system operates by placing a detection element in a housing such that subsurface water that reaches the bore or well can flow in contact with the detection element. The system can employ several detection modes and materials. The detector includes SiPMs operating in a coincidence spectroscopy configuration to significantly reduce spurious signals due to thermal noise as well as increasing the total amount of signals collected. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for direct write printing of an electrical or optical element based upon a generated master actual position map and a master expected position map is disclosed. The generated master actual position map is generated by efficiently stitching together a number of images using a hierarchical stitching process. Once the desired location of the electrical or optical element is determined by comparing the master actual position map with the master expected position map, a corresponding toolpath for a direct write printer is generated. The direct write printer then direct write prints the electrical or optical element using the generated toolpath. By using different types of inks, the electrical element may be a trace, a resistor, an inductor, a transformer, a capacitor, or some combination thereof. In like manner, the optical element may be a waveguide, a beam-splitter, a phase shifter, an optical attenuator, an interferometer, or some combination thereof. |

| ABSTRACT | A magnetic micro-device and process to manufacture the same is disclosed. The magnetic micro-device has a near-zero conductivity magnetic nanocomposite film layer with a plurality of apertures through which a corresponding plurality of electrical conductors (vias) pass. Due to the near-zero conductivity of the magnetic nanocomposite film layer, the vias are self-insulating. The presence of the magnetic nanocomposite film layer results in greater inductance than that possible with an air core (or core-less) magnetic micro-device. Potential magnetic micro-devices include toroid micro-inductors, solenoid micro-inductors, toroid micro-transformers, and solenoid micro-transformers. Additional potential magnetic micro-devices include generators, motors, electromagnetic switches, and voice coils (for speakers or microphones). The process used to manufacture the magnetic micro-device can be scaled to cost-effectively produce large numbers of the magnetic micro-device. |

| ABSTRACT | For a hybrid circuit interrupter that includes a secondary actuator disposed in series with a primary actuator, with the primary actuator used for opening the switch at ultra-fast speeds and the secondary actuator used for opening the switch at normal speeds, a performance monitoring system is disclosed. The monitoring system can use either an optical sensor or position sensitive device (PSD) to detect movement of the primary actuator. The optical sensor is coupled to the circuit interrupter housing, and a distance detection means is disposed within the secondary actuator in a manner that enables the optical sensor to detect the movement of a reference surface on the moving assembly of the primary actuator. The PSD is positioned to face a thru-hole formed in a drive shaft of the circuit interrupter, and to sense a change in position of light emitted through the thru-hole during an opening stroke. |

| ABSTRACT | A solid-state device includes a substrate with a stack of constituent thin-film layers that define an arrangement of electrodes and intervening layers. The constituent layers can conform to or follow a non-planar surface of the substrate, thereby providing a 3-D non-planar geometry to the stack. Fabrication employs a common shadow mask moved between lateral positions offset from each other to sequentially form at least some of the layers in the stack, whereby layers with a similar function (e.g., anode, cathode, etc.) can be electrically connected together at respective edge regions. Wiring layers can be coupled to the edge regions for making electrical connection to the respective subset of layers, thereby simplifying the fabrication process. By appropriate selection and deposition of the constituent layers, the multi-layer device can be configured as an energy storage device, an electro-optic device, a sensing device, or any other solid-state device. |

| ABSTRACT | A cooling system for an electric motor that includes a stator having a plurality of slot windings and a rotor, coaxial with the stator, having a plurality of magnets, includes a coolant inlet to the motor and a coolant outlet from the motor. A coolant pathway is in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. Heat is transferable from the slot windings to the coolant pathway. A coolant flows through the coolant pathway and is in a liquid phase as it enters the coolant inlet, changing into a gaseous phase as heat is transferred to the coolant from the slot windings. A cooling loop is in fluid communication with the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet. The cooling loop cools the coolant so that substantially all of the coolant is in the liquid phase when it enters the coolant inlet. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein is a magnetic dendrometer having a frame, a spring-tension mechanism, and a magnet for moving together with the spring-tension mechanism. A magnetic sensor is attached to the frame. The magnetic sensor senses the linear motion of the magnet. This linear motion translates to trackable fluctuations in magnetic field. The magnetic fluctuations are converted to electrical signals by the magnetic sensor. A spring is attached to a free-floating wishbone-style component. The free-floating wishbone-style component is coupled to a slider which has an adjustable, single-contact point with a target (e.g., a vine, a branch, etc.). The frame is a stationary frame that carries the magnetic sensor. The frame connected via the spring to the wishbone/slider combination cooperates with each other for providing linear motion to extend or contract the spring in length directions. The length variations of the dendrometer spring are converted to linear motion of the magnet and then into electronic signals. |

| ABSTRACT | The subject invention is concerned with systems and methods advantageously applying finite element analysis to establish design rules for a highly sensitive piezo-resistive pressure sensor with an output that is high enough to be detectable by simple and inexpensive circuits and therefore ensure wearability. Four frequently reported micro-feature shapes in micro-patterned piezo-resistive sensors are provided, where the micro-dome and micro-pyramid yield the highest sensitivity. Investigations of different conductivity values of micro-patterned elastomers show that coating the elastomer with a conductive material (e.g., a metallic coating) leads to higher current response when compared to composited conductive elastomers. Advantageous geometric parameters and spatial configurations of micro-pyramid design of piezo-resistive sensors are provided. Results show that an enhanced sensitivity and higher current output can be achieved by a lower spatial density configuration of three micro-features per millimeter length, a smaller feature size of around 100 μm, and a 60-50 degrees pyramid angle. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrode includes an electrically conductive substrate with a coating containing boron-doped diamond (BDD) nanoparticles. Fabricating the electrode can include dispersing BDD nanoparticles in a solvent to yield a suspension, coating a conductive substrate with the suspension, and drying the suspension to yield the electrode. In some cases, fabricating the electrode includes combining BDD nanoparticles with a polymeric resin precursor to yield a mixture including a metal oxide, coating a conductive substrate with the mixture to yield a coated substrate, and calcining the coated substrate to yield a metal oxide coating including BDD nanoparticles. In certain cases, fabricating the electrode includes combining powdered activated carbon with polymeric linkers to yield a polymeric precursor solution, combining BDD nanoparticles with the polymeric precursor solution to yield a mixture, coating a conductive substrate with the mixture to yield a coated substrate, and crosslinking the polymeric linkers to yield the electrode. |

| ABSTRACT | Energized composites include vertically aligned graphene on carbon fibers (VGCF). The VGCF enhances surface area available for charge storage, acts as templates for depositing other charge storing materials and provides stability for a minimum of 100,000 discharge cycles. The final storage device is in the order of high strength carbon fiber matrix with active material, glass fiber separator with polymer electrolyte and another carbon fiber matrix with active material. To achieve higher voltage or current, devices can be connected in series or parallel, respectively. The whole structure is made into a structural component by infusing epoxy resin. An alternating pattern of energy storage devices allows for the epoxy resin to seep through the whole structure and strongly bind them to make a monolith multifunctional composite. The high strength energized composites can power any electrical devices including electric vehicles, portable electronics, and space vehicles without any tradeoff between energy and structural integrity. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and systems for autonomous item delivery and/or pick up are provided. IN some aspects, a mothership travels along an item route. One or more autonomous delivery vehicles may be dispatched from the mothership as the mothership progresses along the route. Each of the autonomous delivery vehicles may deliver and/or pick-up one or more items at one or more item locations. In addition, as the mothership progresses along its route, it may also stop to facilitate the manual delivery and/or pick-up of additional items via a human operator. Upon completing their delivery and/or pick up tasks, the autonomous delivery vehicles return to the mothership, either at the point at which they dispatched from the mothership, or at a different location along the item delivery route. |

| ABSTRACT | Described herein is a magnetic dendrometer having a frame, a spring-tension mechanism, and a magnet for moving together with the spring-tension mechanism. A magnetic sensor is attached to the frame. The magnetic sensor senses the linear motion of the magnet. This linear motion translates to trackable fluctuations in magnetic field. The magnetic fluctuations are converted to electrical signals by the magnetic sensor. A spring is attached to a free-floating wishbone-style component. The free-floating wishbone-style component is coupled to a slider which has an adjustable, single-contact point with a target (e.g., a vine, a branch, etc.). The frame is a stationary frame that carries the magnetic sensor. The frame connected via the spring to the wishbone/slider combination cooperates with each other for providing linear motion to extend or contract the spring in length directions. The length variations of the dendrometer spring are converted to linear motion of the magnet and then into electronic signals. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and related method for multiple-sensitivity optical phase modulation splits an optical carrier generated by a photonic source into at least two copies and directs the copies (e.g., via optical circulators or polarization rotators) to an electro-optical (EO) phase modulator such that the phase modulator phase-modulates each optical copy according to a received radio frequency (RF) signal of interest based on characteristics distinct to each optical copy (e.g., optical path direction, signal polarization) that provide for phase modulation of each optical copy at a different sensitivity voltage. The variably modified optical copies are directed to a photonic processor for further signal processing in the optical domain. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method of using published electronic documents to create communications links between different readers and authors, as well as to connect readers of similar types of documents. The original documents may have been optically scanned paper publications, and thus need not initially contain any electronic metadata. These readers and authors may be previously unknown to each other. Here document readers use user-side software (either installed or web-based) on their computerized devices, and these, in turn, communicate with cloud servers running server-side software. Users indicate documents of interest and may assert authorship over some of the documents. The system automatically scans the documents, extracts authorship information, and can use this authorship information to establish electronic links between the readers and authors. Users can exchange comments and chat within the context of any given document, have this input relayed to authors or other users, and receive context-specific replies back. |

| ABSTRACT | A base station server of a combat simulation system includes, a communications interface, a processor and a memory. The memory has instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive an indication of a trigger pull from a weapon device and receive a data packet from the weapon device. The data packet may include an orientation of the weapon device and a position of the weapon device. The instructions further cause the processor to determine a position and an orientation of a target and identify a ballistic path of a simulated projectile fired from the weapon device. The ballistic path may be based at least in part on the orientation and the position of the weapon device. The instructions further cause the processor to determine a ballistic outcome by identifying whether the ballistic path intersects with the position of the target. |

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, September 17, 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.
