| ABSTRACT | Zebrafish are a powerful model for investigating cardiac repair due to their unique regenerative abilities, scalability, and compatibility with many genetic tools. However, characterizing the regeneration process in live adult zebrafish hearts has proved challenging because adult fish are opaque and explanted hearts in conventional culture conditions experience rapid declines in morphology and physiology. To overcome these limitations, we fabricated a fluidic device for culturing explanted adult zebrafish hearts with constant media perfusion that is also compatible with live imaging. Unlike hearts cultured in dishes for one week, the morphology and calcium activity of hearts cultured in the device for one week were largely similar to freshly explanted hearts. We also cultured injured hearts in the device and used live imaging techniques to continuously record the revascularization process over several days, demonstrating how our device enables unprecedented visual access to the multi-day process of adult zebrafish heart regeneration. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods, devices and systems for ultra-high dose radiotherapy are described that rely in-part on active switching control of a photoconductive switch when the accelerator is accelerating charged particles to produce output radiation at desired dose rates. One example method for producing output radiation in a flash radiotherapy system includes receiving, at a particle accelerator, a charged particle beam, where the particle accelerator system also includes a photoconductive switch coupled to the particle accelerator. The photoconductive switch can operate in a linear mode and includes a doped crystalline material that receives a voltage to establish an electric field across the crystalline material. The method includes producing a plurality of voltage pulses by the photoconductive switch in response to receiving light incident on the doped crystalline material, and accelerating the charged particles by the particle accelerator based on the plurality of voltage pulses to produce the output radiation beams for flash radiotherapy. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure relates to large area single crystal diamond (SCD) surfaces and substrates, and their methods of formation. Typical large area substrates can be at least about 25 mm, 50 mm, or 100 mm in diameter or square edge length, and suitable thicknesses can be about 100 μm to 1000 μm. The large area substrates have a high degree of crystallographic alignment. The large area substrates can be used in a variety of electronics and/or optics applications. Methods of forming the large area substrates generally include lateral and vertical growth of SCD on spaced apart and crystallographically aligned SCD seed substrates, with the individual SCD growth layers eventually merging to form a composite SCD layer of high quality and high crystallographic alignment. A diamond substrate holder can be used to crystallographically align the SCD seed substrates and reduce the effect of thermal stress on the formed SCD layers. |

| ABSTRACT | Heterogeneous monitoring nodes may each generate a series of monitoring node values over time associated with operation of an industrial asset. An offline abnormal state detection model creation computer may receive the series of monitoring node values and perform a feature extraction process using a multi-modal, multi-disciplinary framework to generate an initial set of feature vectors. Then feature dimensionality reduction is performed to generate a selected feature vector subset. The model creation computer may derive digital models through a data-driven machine learning modeling method, based on input/output variables identified by domain experts or by learning from the data. The system may then automatically generate domain level features based on a difference between sensor measurements and digital model output. A decision boundary may then be automatically calculated and output for an abnormal state detection model based on the selected feature vector subset and the plurality of derived generated domain level features. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a multi-kernel wavefront scheduler are disclosed. A system includes at least a parallel processor coupled to one or more memories, wherein the parallel processor includes a command processor and a plurality of compute units. The command processor launches multiple kernels for execution on the compute units. Each compute unit includes a multi-level scheduler for scheduling wavefronts from multiple kernels for execution on its execution units. A first level scheduler creates scheduling groups by grouping together wavefronts based on the priority of their kernels. Accordingly, wavefronts from kernels with the same priority are grouped together in the same scheduling group by the first level scheduler. Next, the first level scheduler selects, from a plurality of scheduling groups, the highest priority scheduling group for execution. Then, a second level scheduler schedules wavefronts for execution from the scheduling group selected by the first level scheduler. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for decoding mood or other neuropsychiatric states from large-scale brain activity includes receiving, by a processor, large-scale brain activity signals from an electrode assembly coupled to a subject. The method includes continuously and automatically decoding a neuropsychiatric state of the subject from the large-scale brain activity signals received from a predictive network subset of brain sites coupled to the electrode assembly, contemporaneously with the receiving. The method includes providing a signal indicative of the neuropsychiatric state. A method for adaptive tracking of large-scale brain network activity includes characterizing, by one or more computers, a time-variant linear state-space model predictive of a brain state, at least in part by updating estimates of time-varying covariance matrices at time steps. The method includes tracking large-scale brain network activity in a subject using an electrode array and continuously and automatically estimating the subject's brain state contemporaneously with the characterizing and tracking. |

| ABSTRACT | A sensor for detecting a target analyte in a sample includes a pair of conducting electrodes that are separated by a gap. An insulator is disposed in the gap between the electrodes. Plural wells are defined by one of the electrodes and the insulator, to expose the other of the electrodes. The wells are configured to receive a sample including a target analyte. The target analyte, when present in the sample received in the wells, modulates an impedance between the electrodes. The modulated impedance, which is measurable with an applied electrical voltage, is indicative of the concentration of the target analyte in the sample. The wells can include antibodies immobilized inside the wells, to bind the target analyte, which can be a cytokine. Also provided are a method for label-free sensing of a target analyte in a sample, and a transcutaneous impedance sensor for label-free, in-situ biomarker detection. |

| ABSTRACT | The disclosure relates to large area single crystal diamond (SCD) surfaces and substrates, and their methods of formation. Typical large area substrates can be at least about 25 mm, 50 mm, or 100 mm in diameter or square edge length, and suitable thicknesses can be about 100 μm to 1000 μm. The large area substrates have a high degree of crystallographic alignment. The large area substrates can be used in a variety of electronics and/or optics applications. Methods of forming the large area substrates generally include lateral and vertical growth of SCD on spaced apart and crystallographically aligned SCD seed substrates, with the individual SCD growth layers eventually merging to form a composite SCD layer of high quality and high crystallographic alignment. A diamond substrate holder can be used to crystallographically align the SCD seed substrates and reduce the effect of thermal stress on the formed SCD layers. |

| ABSTRACT | An exemplary inventive freeboard detection system includes a tubular watertight temperature-sensing device and a computer. The temperature-sensing device includes a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), a potting compound, and a hollow rigid tube. Inside the tube the potting compound encapsulates the PCBA, which includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and multiple temperature sensors closely and equidistantly arrayed along the length of the tube. The temperature-sensing device is vertically secured in a partially submerged state to a vessel with the expectation that some of the vertically arrayed temperature sensors will sense air temperature and others will sense water temperature. On an ongoing basis, the computer receives signals from the temperature sensors and processes the signals to monitor freeboard values, which the computer calculates based on differences in temperature measurements corresponding to pairs of consecutive (and/or nonconsecutive) temperature sensors. A maximum calculated difference in temperature measurements is indicative of the location of the water surface. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed is a flexible, scalable method for automatically distinguishing between the ‘mainstream’ and ‘fringe’ in any text dataset, such as unstructured social media data. The disclosed method allows analysts quickly to pinpoint text articulating fringe beliefs or theories, without prior knowledge of the nature of the fringe beliefs, and can be applied to text data in any language, provided the data can be represented electronically. The method works automatically and without any preconceived notions of what is important or what vocabulary is used in the context of certain beliefs. An analyst's attention is then quickly focused either on new conspiracy theories taking hold (potentially allowing decision-makers to act to interdict the ‘next QAnon insurrection’), or on well-founded beliefs that simply are not yet mainstream. Either way, analysts are empowered better to ‘connect the dots’ for a more complete understanding of the information environment. |

| ABSTRACT | Embodiments provide a system and method for constructing a graph-based model for optimizing the security posture of a composed system. During operation, the system constructs a multi-layer graph for a system with a plurality of components, wherein the multi-layer graph comprises a configuration subgraph, a vulnerability subgraph, and a dependency subgraph. The system constructs the multi-layer graph by the following. The system generates nodes in the configuration subgraph, including: nodes in a first class which encode information associated with a configuration parameter for a respective component, wherein the encoded information includes a name, a default value, a range of values, and a data type; and nodes in a second class which encode value assignments for configuration parameters and relationships between configuration parameters. The system generates nodes in the vulnerability subgraph based on known vulnerabilities associated with a component, bad security practices, and best security practices. |

| ABSTRACT | A textile actuator worn by a user comprises a textile envelope that defines a chamber made fluid-impermeable by a fluid-impermeable bladder contained in the textile envelope and/or a fluid-impermeable structure incorporated into the textile envelope. The textile envelope has a pre-determined geometry that produces an equilibrium state at a non-180-angle displacement and that stops further displacement upon pressurization of the chamber and prevents over-extension the joint. A fluid is delivered into or out of the chamber to displace the textile envelope primarily by transitioning from an uninflated state to the pre-determined geometry due to displacement of the textile envelope rather than via stretching or contraction of the textile envelope. When actuated, the textile actuator (a) displaces a body segment of the user and/or (b) supports and holds the body segment of the user in place. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention described herein comprises a passive plant nutrient delivery system that utilizes a hydrophilic porous tube to transfer a liquid nutrient solution from at least one reservoir to the roots of plants. The plants' roots rest on the exterior surface of the tube, where a combination of capillary force, evapotranspiration from the plant, and some evaporation from the surface of the tube draws the nutrient solution passively from the reservoir, or reservoirs, through the tube. The roots uptake water from the tube as needed, requiring no external power source. A flexible cover envelops plants' roots and the tube, whereby the cover has an opening to allow room for plants to grow. The flexible cover is held in place by a securing means, such as a clamp. Both the cover and the securing means are comprised of a material that can expand, allowing the plants adequate room to grow. |

In a stowed doubly curved reflector state each gore folds about the at least one hinge when folded closed such that a face surface of each gore folds against an adjacent face surface of another gore into a substantially cylindrical structure. In a deployed doubly curved reflector state, each hinge. A doubly curved reflector for compact storage in a folded state and a locked open state, a method of manufacture, and a method for designing a substantially wrinkle free doubly curved foldable reflector having gores of a composite material are also described. |

| ABSTRACT | A system selects a telemetry allocation for the transmission of data from multiple transmitters. An allocation matrix defines a split ratio for data generated by a data source that is split between transmitters. The split ratio is defined for each data source of a plurality of data sources. (A) A storage buffer model is executed based on the allocation matrix to simulate a buffer that stores data from each data source that exceeds a download bandwidth value. (B) Performance parameter values are stored in association with the allocation matrix. (C) The allocation matrix is updated to redefine at least one split ratio. (D) (A) through (C) is repeated with the allocation matrix replaced with the updated allocation matrix until each unique permutation of values for the split ratio is processed. An allocation matrix is selected from allocation matrices stored in (B) based on the plurality of performance parameter values. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for assessing a regular expression for vulnerability to ReDoS attacks includes receiving a regular expression for evaluating a string defined by ordered set of characters from an alphanumeric input device, and evaluating the regular expression for determining if a parsing operation of the string according to the regular expression results in a disproportionate resource consumption. The evaluation determines if the resource consumption constitutes a Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDOS) attack by providing a vulnerability indication of a single valid attack string, rather than attempting to find all possible attack strings. The valid attack string is defined by an input string for which evaluation based on the regular expression would result in disproportionate resource consumption. |

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 24, 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.
You can also reach this page using the weekly page link that looks like this:
