| ABSTRACT | A LUS robotic surgical system is trainable by a surgeon to automatically move a LUS probe in a desired fashion upon command so that the surgeon does not have to do so manually during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. A sequence of 2D ultrasound image slices captured by the LUS probe according to stored instructions are processable into a 3D ultrasound computer model of an anatomic structure, which may be displayed as a 3D or 2D overlay to a camera view or in a PIP as selected by the surgeon or programmed to assist the surgeon in inspecting an anatomic structure for abnormalities. Virtual fixtures are definable so as to assist the surgeon in accurately guiding a tool to a target on the displayed ultrasound image. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided herein are methods for increasing the therapeutic efficiency of oncolytic bacterial therapeutics. Bacterial oncolytic therapies, especially the ones targeting tumor hypoxia such as C. novyi-NT, often encounter incomplete tumor clearance in less hypoxic tumoral areas and severe inflammatory reactions. In this study, we explored immune-modulating preconditioning to suppress the host neutrophils and significantly enhanced the antitumor efficacy of C. novyi-NT in animal models, including an orthotopic brain tumor model in rabbits. The optimized preconditioning agent, hydroxyurea, is clinically approved and C. novyi-NT has demonstrated manageable safety and promising antitumor responses in clinical trials. Thus, the proposed preconditioning of neutrophil suppression is readily translatable to patients undergoing C. novyi-NT trials or other oncolytic biologic therapies and could improve outcome. |

| ABSTRACT | System and methods related to lyophilization of pharmaceutical products are disclosed. In some embodiments, vials of product are moved through a system using one or more movers which are electromagnetically levitated and moved through the system without making mechanical contact with each other or the system. Load lock chambers may allow a mover to enter from one process region's environment and then be brought to an environment condition of the next process region to allow materials to be passed through conditioning, nucleation, and/or vacuum drying regions prior to finally exit the system to an unloading zone. The movers may then be cleaned or reloaded with vials to begin the process again with a new load of vials. |

| 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 connected to an optical detector and an outlet by pumping at the outlet. The method further includes passing air through the chamber and optical detector in a steady flow, and subsequently closing the inlet while continuing the pumping to expand the air sample and exhaust a portion of the air sample through the optical detector. The walls of the particle chamber are wetted with a fluid such as water, and one portion of the wall is warmer than the other portions such that there is some condensational growth prior to the expansion, and yet more condensational growth during the expansion. The cycles are repeated by continuously repeating the introducing, passing and closing. |

| ABSTRACT | A method of establishing a system for gathering surveillance data in a hostile environment. The method comprises the steps of providing a movable tractor for ground hauling a trailer, and providing a drone which can be operated independently from the tractor. The trailer has a floor pan for supporting a relay sensor dispensing mechanism and a platform above the floor pan, with a hole for dispensing relay sensors therethrough. The relay sensor dispensing mechanism has an elevator for holding a stockpile of relay sensors, and elevating the relay sensors through the hole. The method comprises disposing at least one relay sensor in the elevator, elevating the relay sensor to a pickup position at or above the platform and retrieving the relay sensor with a drone for subsequent deposition in the hostile environment. The relay sensor then gathers and transceives surveillance data for use and interpretation by an operator. Optional a conveyor chute may replenish the elevator when it is depleted of relay sensors. |

| ABSTRACT | A family of new and novel molecules for mechanically superior two-dimensional (2D) polymers is described herein. By combining stiff carbon-containing cyclic polymer nodal units with more compliant linear polymer bridge units in an ordered, 2D repeating molecular structure it is possible to tailor the mechanical properties of 2D polymers and their assemblies to provide high stiffness, strength, and toughness. Furthermore, the inherent dimensionality of 2D polymers and their ability to be stacked into ordered and chemically interactive ensembles gives them inherent benefits in a variety of barrier and structural applications over current stiff and strong linear polymer technologies. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is an apparatus for curing composites out-of-autoclave and out-of-oven. The apparatus is a multilayered composite tool for shaping and curing composites. It also contains a sealant layer and composite resistive heating element on the tool's surface. This heating element provides heat to the composites during cure while binding it to the other layers, eliminating the need for external heat from autoclave and oven sources. A ceramic layer is applied to the top surface of the resistive heater for electrical insulation, heater protection and to provide a smooth surface for finish for the composite components being processed with the invention. A method for using the invention is also described. Finally, one embodiment of the invention is presented where a negative composite tool is created to apply additional pressure to the composite component during curing. This additional pressure enables the current invention to more closely mimic autoclave composite processing. |

| ABSTRACT | A test fixture for vibration testing is disclosed. The test fixture may include an edge with a mounting slot for receiving a fastener to couple the test fixture to a supporting structure. A separating slot may extend through the test fixture proximal to the mounting slot. When the test fixture is coupled to the supporting structure via the mounting slot, the remainder of the test fixture may be unsupported, thereby cantilevering the test fixture. Cantilevering the test fixture, along with the flexibility provided by the separating slot, may enable the natural frequency of the test fixture to be controlled, allowing for additional vibrational frequencies to be measured and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The length of the separating slot may be adjustable to adjust the frequency response of the test fixture. A coupling mass may also be attached to the test fixture to adjust the frequency response. |

| 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 connected to an optical detector and an outlet by pumping at the outlet. The method further includes passing air through the chamber and optical detector in a steady flow, and subsequently closing the inlet while continuing the pumping to expand the air sample and exhaust a portion of the air sample through the optical detector. The walls of the particle chamber are wetted with a fluid such as water, and one portion of the wall is warmer than the other portions such that there is some condensational growth prior to the expansion, and yet more condensational growth during the expansion. The cycles are repeated by continuously repeating the introducing, passing and closing. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention is directed to an electro-optical sensor for high intensity electric field measurement. The electro-optical sensor was used to measure a strong 118 MV/m narrow pulse width (˜33 ns) electric field in the magnetically insulated transmission line (MITL) of a pulsed power accelerator. Accurately measuring these high fields using conventional pulsed power diagnostics is difficult due to the strength of interfering particles and fields. The electro-optical sensor uses a free space laser beam with a dielectric crystal sensor that is highly immune to electromagnetic interference and does not require an external calibration. |

| ABSTRACT | System and techniques for silent cache line eviction are described herein. A memory device receives a memory operation from a host. The memory operation establishes data and metadata in a cache line of the memory device upon receipt. The metadata is stored in a memory element that corresponds to the cache line. Later, an eviction trigger to evict the cache line is identified. Then, in response to the eviction trigger, current metadata of the cache line is compared with the metadata in the memory element to determine whether the metadata has changed. the cache line can be evicted without writing to backing memory in response to the metadata being unchanged. |

| ABSTRACT | A system (100) and method for detecting a malicious programmable logic controller (PLC) code segment (110) in a PLC program corresponding to a specific type of PLC includes a binary parser (112) that parses the code segment (110) into a plurality of functional elements. A variable and function block mapper (114) maps the functional elements into a high-level data structure. A fuzzer (116) generates a behavioral model of the high-level data structure into an automaton (118). A classifier (120) predicts to which processes the automaton (118) corresponds. A detector (122) detects unsafe states in the automaton (118) and that generates an indication of a detected unsafe state. |

| ABSTRACT | A high-voltage switch is adapted for use as a medium-voltage direct current circuit breaker, which provides a low-cost, small-footprint device to mitigate system faults. In one example, a method for operating a wideband optical device includes illuminating the wide bandgap optical device with a light within a first range of wavelengths and a first average intensity, allowing a current to propagate therethrough without substantial absorption of the current, illuminating the wide bandgap optical device with light within the first range of wavelengths and a second average intensity that is lower than the first average intensity to allow a sustained current flow though the wide bandgap optical device, and illuminating the wide bandgap optical device with light within a second range of wavelengths to stop or substantially restrict propagation of the current through the wide gap material. |

| ABSTRACT | A LUS robotic surgical system is trainable by a surgeon to automatically move a LUS probe in a desired fashion upon command so that the surgeon does not have to do so manually during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. A sequence of 2D ultrasound image slices captured by the LUS probe according to stored instructions are processable into a 3D ultrasound computer model of an anatomic structure, which may be displayed as a 3D or 2D overlay to a camera view or in a PIP as selected by the surgeon or programmed to assist the surgeon in inspecting an anatomic structure for abnormalities. Virtual fixtures are definable so as to assist the surgeon in accurately guiding a tool to a target on the displayed ultrasound image. |

| ABSTRACT | Devices and methods for smartphone impostor detection using behavioral and environmental data are provided. Impostors are attackers who take control of an electronic device (e.g., a smartphone) and gain access to confidential and private information of a legitimate user. Embodiments described herein propose a defense-in-depth mechanism to detect impostors quickly with simple deep learning algorithms, which can achieve better detection accuracy than previous works. Embodiments then consider protecting the privacy of the behavioral and/or environmental data (e.g., collected by one or more sensors) of a user by not exposing it outside the protected device. A recurrent neural network (RNN)-based deep learning algorithm is proposed which uses only sensor data of the legitimate user to learn their normal behavior. Prediction error distribution (PED) is used to enhance the detection accuracy. In some embodiments, a minimalist hardware module, dubbed smartphone impostor detector (SID), is integrated into smartphones for self-contained impostor detection. |

| ABSTRACT | A humidity sensitive material includes a lanthanum-doped barium titanate (BaTiO3) co-doped with an alkali hydroxide. A polymeric liquid binder is used as a vehicle to deliver the humidity sensitive material to a substrate or electrode via a 3D-printing process. The humidity sensitive material is highly sensitive to changes in humidity and exhibits rapid and large changes in capacitance and impedance for just a relatively small change in humidity. The humidity sensitive material exhibits significantly large changes in impedance and capacitance over the entire 10-90% RH range. As a result of the high sensitivity of the humidity sensitive material, the log-linear response is significantly easier to calibrate in humidity sensing devices that use the humidity sensitive material. |

| ABSTRACT | We describe methods and materials for inhibiting the growth of a microbial pathogen of a plant. The method comprises the steps of applying to the plant a combination of a dye-bearing compound which is a reactive oxygen species photosensitizer; and a copper compound, which increases the microbial lethality of the dye-bearing compound towards the microbial pathogen; and exposing the plant to light to activate the combination of the dye-bearing compound and the copper compound and inhibiting growth of a microbial pathogen of a plant. The combination of the dye-bearing compound and the copper compound may result in a synergistic ability to reduce the growth of a plant pathogen. |

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 08, 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:
