| ABSTRACT | A retinal vessel shadow view optical coherence tomography (RVSV-OCT) image can be created by receiving, at an enhanced OCT processing system, volumetric OCT scan of a patient. The system can segment the volumetric OCT scan to determine layer boundaries and delineate a boundary of interest based on the determined layer boundaries of the segmented volumetric OCT scan. En face vascular information can be extracted to create an RVSV-OCT image by determining a first offset from the boundary of interest and a second offset from the boundary of interest; extracting volumetric data from an area between the first offset and the second offset to create a three-dimensional volume; and identifying a two-dimensional surface from the three-dimensional volume, the two-dimensional surface being the RVSV-OCT image. The RVSV-OCT image can be provided for analysis, for example, to evaluate retinal vascular disease in preterm infants at risk for retinopathy of prematurity. |

| ABSTRACT | Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection may lead to severe respiratory illness in young children. Thus, there is a need for a live attenuated vaccine, which would mimic the natural course of infection without causing illness; however, restricting viral replication also reduces the immune response. Reported herein is a method of vaccination using a single dose of a recombinant RSV lacking the M2-2 protein that surprisingly induced a stronger immune response to RSV than previous vaccine candidates despite being more restricted in replication. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention concerns the incorporation of curcumin into the backbone of a hydrolytically degradable crosslinked hydrogel that utilizes poly(beta amino ester) (PBAE) chemistry to provide a tunable protective network with the ability to release at a controlled rate. Upon the introduction of these microparticle systems in to a free radical generating environment, the constituent amount of curcumin present in solution was improved in comparison to a free curcumin state. From these results, a kinetic rate model was developed to estimate oxidative consumption parameters of curcumin and curcumin monoacrylate and quantify theoretical levels of free radicals present depending on the rate of release of curcumin provided. Modeled curcumin conjugated PBAE microparticles improve translation and overall success in delivering a therapeutic agent that matches levels of oxidative stress. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, devices and methods are provided for fabricating anisotropic polymer materials. According to various embodiments, a fluidic device is employed to distribute a polymer solution and a flow-confining solution in order to generate a layered flow, where the layered flow is formed such that a polymer liquid sheet is sheathed on opposing sides by flow-confining liquid sheets. The fluidic device includes first and second fluid conduits, where the first fluid conduit receives the layered flow. The second fluid conduit has a reduced height relative to the first fluid conduit, such that the layered flow is constricted as it flows through the second fluid conduit. The constriction formed by the second flow conduit causes hydrodynamic focusing, reducing the thickness of the polymer liquid sheet, and inducing molecular alignment and anisotropy within the polymer liquid sheet as it is hardened and as strain is applied during extrusion of the sheet. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for imaging or determining nucleic acids, for instance, within cells. In some embodiments, the transcriptome of a cell may be determined. Certain embodiments are directed to determining nucleic acids, such as mRNA, within cells at relatively high resolutions. In some embodiments, a plurality of nucleic acid probes may be applied to a sample, and their binding within the sample determined, e.g., using fluorescence, to determine locations of the nucleic acid probes within the sample. In some embodiments, codewords may be based on the binding of the plurality of nucleic acid probes, and in some cases, the codewords may define an error-correcting code to reduce or prevent misidentification of the nucleic acids. In certain cases, a relatively large number of different targets may be identified using a relatively small number of labels, e.g., by using various combinatorial approaches. |

| ABSTRACT | Many strains of the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis carry a compact Cas9 (NmeCas9) that can serve to limit genetic exchange via natural transformation. Cas9 orthologues (including NmeCas9) have recently been adopted for RNA-guided genome engineering and DNA binding, adding to the need to define better their activities and properties. The present invention examines DNA cleavage activities and substrate requirements of NmeCas9, including a set of unusually complex PAM recognition patterns. Unexpectedly, NmeCas9 is found able to cleave single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) targets in a manner that is RNA-guided but both PAM- and tracrRNA-independent. Beyond the requirement for guide-target pairing, this activity has no apparent sequence requirements, and the cleavage sites are measured from the 5′ end of the DNA substrate's RNA-paired region. These results indicate that tracrRNA domains are not strictly required for enzymatic activation of NmeCas9, and expand the list of targeting activities exhibited by these revolutionary RNA-guided nucleases. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and apparatus to create water vapor supersaturation and particulate counts from an air sample. The method and apparatus include introducing an air sample into a chamber by passing a flow into the chamber through the inlet by pumping at the outlet. The method further includes closing the inlet while continuing the pumping to exhaust the air sample from the chamber through the outlet. The pumping is performed at a rate operable to reduce pressure inside the chamber such that the air sample in the central portion of the chamber cools, and water vapor from walls of the chamber has time to diffuse into the air sample in the chamber from the walls. The cycles are repeated by continuously repeating the introducing and closing. The walls of the chamber may be wet or dry. |

| ABSTRACT | This disclosure describes systems and methods for ultrasound imaging and targeting. In one example, the systems and methods improve targeting and imaging through a heterogenous medium by using the angular spectrum approach (ASA) alone or in combination with passive acoustic mapping (PAM). In another example, the systems and methods improve the ultrasound imaging of vessels using microbubbles. The imaging of the vessels is also aided by the ASA and PAM. A closed loop controller is described that adjusts the ultrasound pressure provided to a region of interest to a desired pressure based at least in part on the harmonic, ultra-harmonic, sub-harmonic, or broadband frequency ranges for the microbubbles. |

| ABSTRACT | Self-supervised training of machine learning (“ML”) algorithms for reconstruction in inverse problems are described. These techniques do not require fully sampled training data. As an example, a physics-based ML reconstruction can be trained without requiring fully-sampled training data. In this way, such ML-based reconstruction algorithms can be trained on existing databases of undersampled images or in a scan-specific manner. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods are described for the global, rapid, and automatic detection of wildfire activity. Such systems and methods may also classify wildfires based on a new severity classification scheme. Wildfire activity may be tracked as wildfires migrate, grow, and combine. Additionally, because satellite systems currently collect over 4 million fire observations per year, a filtering mechanism is introduced to remove benign anthropogenic fires. To classify wildfire severity for generating alerts, the present disclosure also provides a logarithmic severity classification system based on 24-hour cumulative Fire Radiative Power (FRP). |

| ABSTRACT | Some variations provide an additively manufactured article comprising a first region and a second region, wherein the first region is a solid region or a porous region, wherein the second region has a pore size larger than the first-region pore size, and wherein the first-region average permeability is lower than the second-region average permeability. Some variations provide a co-sintering method of making an architected material with regions having different permeabilities, in which different additive-manufacturing process parameters are applied to distinct regions of the structure. Other variations provide a wall-pinning method of making an architected material with regions having different permeabilities, in which additive-manufacturing process parameters are selected to sinter pinned feedstock powder between solid walls. Engineered structures with controlled permeability, integrated manifolds, and arbitrary geometries are disclosed, without the requirement of complex manufacturing. Many uses are described for the disclosed additively manufactured articles. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention discloses a series of low-cost, castable, weldable, brazeable and heat-treatable aluminum alloys based on modifications of aluminum-manganese-based alloys, which turn all the non-heat treatable Mn-containing aluminum alloys into heat treatable alloys with high-strength, ductility, thermal stability, and resistance to creep, coarsening and recrystallization. These alloys inherit the excellent corrosion resistance of the Al—Mn-based alloys and can be utilized in high temperature, high stress and a variety of other applications. The modifications are made through microalloying with one or any combinations of tin, indium, antimony and bismuth at an impurity level of less than 0.02 at. %, which creates nanoscale α-Al(Mn,TM)Si precipitates with a cubic structure (wherein TM is one or more of transition metals, and Mn is the main element) in an Al(f.c.c.)-matrix with a mean radius of about 25 nm and a relatively high volume fraction of about 2%. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for utilizing a carbide-derived carbon (CDC) fiber in solid-phase micro extraction. Optically pumping the carbide-derived carbon (CDC) fiber, as compared to using thermal desorption, enhances performance of the system. CDC provides for a broad based sorbent that is insensitive to high humidity. Optical pumping may be done axially or radially on a modified gas chromatography needle. In some cases, staged, or pulsed, optical pumping is used to drive off solvent or other lower boiling compounds first and then the desorption of the remaining analytes is cleaner and the instrumentation is less likely to be overloaded. |

| ABSTRACT | A microwave sensor determines an electric-field strength of a microwave field populated by quantum particles in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) cell. A probe laser beam and a coupling laser beam are directed into the UHV cell so that they are generally orthogonal to each other and intersect to define a “Rydberg” intersection, so-called as the quantum particles within the Rydberg intersection transition to a pair of Rydberg states. The frequency of the probe laser beam is swept so that a frequency spectrum of the probe laser beam can be captured. The frequency spectrum is analyzed to determine a frequency difference between Autler-Townes peaks. The electric-field strength of the microwave field within the Rydberg intersection is then determined based on this frequency difference. |

| ABSTRACT | Building blocks for implementing Vector-by-Matrix Multiplication (VMM) are implemented with analog circuitry including non-volatile memory devices (flash transistors) and using in-memory computation. In one example, improved performance and more accurate VMM is achieved in arrays including multi-gate flash transistors when computation uses a control gate or the combination of control gate and word line (instead of using the word line alone). In another example, very fast weight programming of the arrays is achieved using a novel programming protocol. In yet another example, higher density and faster array programming is achieved when the gate(s) responsible for erasing devices, or the source line, are re-routed across different rows, e.g., in a zigzag form. In yet another embodiment a neural network is provided with nonlinear synaptic weights implemented with nonvolatile memory devices. |

| ABSTRACT | Examples increase precision for aCAMs by converting an input signal (x) received by a circuit into a first analog voltage signal (V(xMSB)) representing the most significant bits of the input signal (x) and a second analog voltage signal (V(xLSB)) representing the least significant bits of the input signal (x). By dividing the input signal (x) bit-wise into the first analog voltage signal (V(xMSB)) and the second analog voltage signal (V(xLSB)), the circuit can utilize aCAM sub-circuits implementing a combination of Boolean operations to search the input signal (x) against 22*M programmable levels, where “M” represents the number of programmable bits for each aCAM sub-circuit. Thus, using similar circuit hardware, example circuits square the number of programmable levels of conventional aCAMs (which generally only have 2M programmable levels). Accordingly, examples provide new aCAMs that can carry out more complex computations than conventional aCAMs of comparable cost, size, and power consumption. |

| ABSTRACT | Described are systems and techniques for extracting frequency and voltage harmonic transients corresponding to individual load events. Such systems and techniques can be used to make electrical loads aware of the operation of other loads in an electric grid. Thus, awareness is achieved using information derived only from a utility voltage waveform at a load. Also described are systems and techniques for incorporating such awareness into load controllers which allows loads to autonomously meet system level objectives in addition to their individual requirements. |

| ABSTRACT | A PPM-modulated signal is based on a format comprising (i) N data slots per symbol period, (ii) guard slots separating the data slots, and (iii) the symbols are encoded by the position of pulses within the data slots. Timing synchronization of the receiver to an incoming PPM-modulated signal is achieved as follows. The incoming PPM-modulated signal is processed to generate slot detection signals, which are indicative of a presence of a pulse in a corresponding one of the N data slots. A timing correction signal is generated based on a difference between (a) accumulated slot detection signals for receiver data slot 1, and (b) accumulated slot detection signals for receiver data slot N. Timing of the receiver is adjusted based on the timing correction signal. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to the fabrication and use of phase-change material (PCM) membranes in microvalves for microfluidic systems. The microvalve may be fabricated by using a tissue-sectioning instrument to slice a thin membrane of PCM off of a block of PCM. The membrane may then be sandwiched between a plurality of microfluidic flow sections to act as a microvalve. At room temperature, the membrane may exist in a solid state to act as a zero-leakage seal and microvalve. Applying heat to the membrane may bring the membrane to a melting point, causing it to reach a liquid state. The microvalve in the liquid state may experience a surface tension effect by a material of the microfluidic flow sections, causing it to displace from a flow path and allow a fluid to pass from one microfluidic flow section to another. |

| ABSTRACT | A quantum computer uses interactions between atomic ensembles mediated by an optical cavity mode to perform quantum computations and simulations. Using the cavity mode as a bus enables all-to-all coupling and execution of non-local gates between any pair of qubits. Encoding logical qubits as collective excitations in ensembles of atoms enhances the coupling to the cavity mode and reduces the experimental difficulty of initial trap loading. By using dark-state transfers via the cavity mode to enact gates between pairs of qubits, the gates become insensitive to the number of atoms within each collective excitation, making it possible to prepare an array of qubits through Poissonian loading without feedback. |

| ABSTRACT | Building blocks for implementing Vector-by-Matrix Multiplication (VMM) are implemented with analog circuitry including non-volatile memory devices (flash transistors) and using in-memory computation. In one example, improved performance and more accurate VMM is achieved in arrays including multi-gate flash transistors when computation uses a control gate or the combination of control gate and word line (instead of using the word line alone). In another example, very fast weight programming of the arrays is achieved using a novel programming protocol. In yet another example, higher density and faster array programming is achieved when the gate(s) responsible for erasing devices, or the source line, are re-routed across different rows, e.g., in a zigzag form. In yet another embodiment a neural network is provided with nonlinear synaptic weights implemented with nonvolatile memory devices. |

| ABSTRACT | An electroless etching process. The process produces nanostructured semiconductors in which an oxidant (Ox1) is deposited as a metal on a semiconductor surface and used as a catalytic agent to facilitate reaction between a semiconductor and a second oxidant (Ox2). Ox2 is used to initiate etching by injecting holes into the semiconductor valence band as facilitated by the catalytic action of the deposited metal. The extent of reaction is controlled by the amount of Ox2 added; the reaction rate is controlled by the injection rate of Ox2. The process produces high specific surface area and/or hierarchically structured porous Si with higher and controllable yield. In addition, the ability is demonstrated to vary the pore size distribution of mesoporous silicon including producing hierarchically structured mesoporous silicon with more than one peak in the pore size distribution. In principle, the process applies to any semiconductor onto which metal can be deposited galvanically. |

| ABSTRACT | The sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) of group 13 indium and gallium oxides (In2O3 and Ga2O3) into polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) thin films is demonstrated. Examples highlight the an SIS process using trimethylindium (TMIn) and trimethylgallium (TMGa), respectively, with water. In situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy reveals that these metal alkyl precursors reversibly associate with the carbonyl groups of PMMA in analogy to trimethylaluminum (TMAl), however with significantly lower affinity. SIS with TMIn and water enables the growth of In2O3 at 80° C., well below the onset temperature of atomic layer deposition (ALD) using these precursors. |

| ABSTRACT | Operating a gaseous fuel engine system includes conveying hydrogen fuel and hydrocarbon fuel into a cylinder in a gaseous fuel engine for combustion. Operating a gaseous fuel engine system further includes receiving an increased engine power output request, boosting a power output of the gaseous fuel engine by varying a ratio of the hydrogen fuel and the hydrocarbon fuel combusted in the cylinder, and varying an in-cylinder combustion parameter based on the varying a ratio. Perturbation to a performance profile of the gaseous fuel engine is thereby limited. Related apparatus and control logic is also disclosed. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and apparatus to create water vapor supersaturation and particulate counts from an air sample. The method and apparatus include introducing an air sample into a chamber by passing a flow into the chamber through the inlet by pumping at the outlet. The method further includes closing the inlet while continuing the pumping to exhaust the air sample from the chamber through the outlet. The pumping is performed at a rate operable to reduce pressure inside the chamber such that the air sample in the central portion of the chamber cools, and water vapor from walls of the chamber has time to diffuse into the air sample in the chamber from the walls. The cycles are repeated by continuously repeating the introducing and closing. The walls of the chamber may be wet or dry. |

The scintillator is formed of a scintillator material comprising an organic glass scintillator (OGS) material and at least one of a polymer additive or a plasticizer additive. The scintillator emits light when radiation is received at the scintillator, and the light is received by the photodetector. The radiation detector can further include a frame that has an interior cavity that holds the scintillator in position with respect to the photodetector, such that the light emitted by the scintillator is transmitted to the photodetector. The scintillator can be formed by casting amorphous scintillator material in the interior cavity of the frame. The frame can then be coupled to the photodetector to form the radiation detector. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for matching neural network layouts to hardware architectures is provided. The method comprises iteratively: holding neural network parameters constant while changing a hardware architecture parameters, calculating a first loss value for a combination of the neural network parameters and hardware architecture parameters according to a gradient-based differentiable function within specified resource constraints, holding the hardware architecture parameters constant while changing the neural network parameters, calculating a second loss value for a new combination of parameters within the specified resource constraints, and combining the first loss value and the second loss value to calculate a combined loss value. The above iterative steps are stopped when the combined loss value reaches a specified threshold, and an optimal combination of neural network parameters and hardware architecture parameters is determined according to the combined loss value. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and system architecture for designing a compressive sensing matrix for machine learning includes receiving an image associated with a classification task and; generating a sensing matrix. The sensing matrix includes an array of nonzero elements of the image. A prism array of prism elements is in communication with the sensing matrix. A row of values corresponding with an input angle of the prism array is mapped to a respective column corresponding with a detector. Then the detector detects light refracted at an output angle dictated by the physical shape of the prism element. A physical model of the detector is fabricated and generates a compressed representation of the image. A machine learning classification algorithm is applied to the compressed representation of the image and generates an optimized non-invertible final determination of the image. |

| ABSTRACT | A digital-to-analog converter circuit that creates an analog waveform from an input digital waveform. Operating the circuit comprises using the input digital waveform to 1) operate a charge control switch to set a charge time period, 2) operate a discharge control switch to set a discharge time period, 3) set a charge current magnitude using a charge gain, and 4) set a discharge current magnitude using a discharge gain. A charge source electrically charges a load capacitor during the charge time period (i.e., the charge mode). A discharge source electrically discharges the load capacitor during the discharge time period (i.e., the discharge mode). A circuit output transmits the analog waveform defined by the charge mode and the discharge mode. A charge current magnitude greater than the discharge current magnitude produces an upward-sloping analog waveform. A charge current magnitude less than the discharge current magnitude produces a downward-sloping analog waveform. |

| ABSTRACT | An article, for example, an integrated circuit (IC), is manufactured such that the article includes an authentication element that is indicative of an authentication code associated with the article. A block of a blockchain ledger is generated based upon the authentication code. After the article leaves a trusted chain of custody, the article can be authenticated based upon the blockchain. An authentication code can be read from an authentication element included in or on an article under test that is of undetermined authenticity. The authentication code can be evaluated against the blockchain to determine if the authentication code is a genuine code used to generate a block of the blockchain. If the authentication code is genuine, the article under test can be authenticated. |

| ABSTRACT | A shape-morphing ultralight structure using materials that dramatically increase the efficiency of load-bearing aerostructures that includes a programmable material system applied as a large-scale, ultralight, and conformable (shape-morphing) aeroelastic structure. The use of a modular, lattice-based, ultralight material results in stiffness and density typical of an elastomer. This, combined with a building block-based manufacturing and configuration strategy, enables the rapid realization of new adaptive structures and mechanisms. The heterogeneous design with programmable anisotropy allows for enhanced elastic and global shape deformation in response to external loading, making it useful for tuned fluid-structure interaction. The present invention demonstrates an example application experiment using two building block types for the primary structure of a 4.27 m wingspan aircraft with spatially programed elastic shape morphing to increase aerodynamic efficiency. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for the control and operation of a grid-connected converter with an energy storage system are provided. The system can include a small microgrid comprising an AC grid that is feeding a DC load through a converter. The converter is connected to the AC grid through an R-L filter. The classical linear controllers have limitations due to their slow transient performance and low robustness against parameter variations and load disturbances. In certain embodiments, the transient and steady state responses of the provided artificial intelligence based Robust Artificial Neural Network Tracking Control (RANNTC) of three-phase grid-connected power converters has been shown to be more enhanced in terms of overshoot (24% lower), settling time (85% reduced), and total harmonic distortion (THD) (55% lower). |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods for analyzing pathologies utilizing quantitative imaging are presented herein. Advantageously, the systems and methods of the present disclosure utilize a hierarchical analytics framework that identifies and quantify biological properties/analytes from imaging data and then identifies and characterizes one or more pathologies based on the quantified biological properties/analytes. This hierarchical approach of using imaging to examine underlying biology as an intermediary to assessing pathology provides many analytic and processing advantages over systems and methods that are configured to directly determine and characterize pathology from underlying imaging data. |

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, October 01, 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:
