| ABSTRACT | A surgical guidance system has two cameras to provide stereo image stream of a surgical field; and a stereo viewer. The system has a 3D surface extraction module that generates a first 3D model of the surgical field from the stereo image streams; a registration module for co-registering annotating data with the first 3D model; and a stereo image enhancer for graphically overlaying at least part of the annotating data onto the stereo image stream to form an enhanced stereo image stream for display, where the enhanced stereo stream enhances a surgeon's perception of the surgical field. The registration module has an alignment refiner to adjust registration of the annotating data with the 3D model based upon matching of features within the 3D model and features within the annotating data; and in an embodiment, a deformation modeler to deform the annotating data based upon a determined tissue deformation. |

| ABSTRACT | An aqueous synthesis methodology for the preparation of silica nanoparticles (SNPs), core-shell SNPs having, for example, a size of 2 to 15 nm and narrow size-dispersion with size control below 1 nm, i.e. at the level of a single atomic layer. Different types of dyes, including near infrared (NIR) emitters, can be covalently encapsulated within and brightness can be enhanced via addition of extra silica shells. The surface may be functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) groups and, optionally, specific surface ligands. This aqueous synthesis methodology also enables synthesis of 2 to 15 nm sized fluorescent core and core-shell aluminosilicate nanoparticles (ASNPs) which may also be surface functionalized. Encapsulation efficiency and brightness of highly negatively charged NIR fluorophores is enhanced relative to the corresponding SNPs without aluminum. |

| ABSTRACT | It has been established that optimizing cell seeding onto tissue engineering vascular grafts (TEVG) is associated with reduced inflammatory responses and reduced post-operative stenosis of TEVG. Cell seeding increased TEVG patency in a dose dependent manner, and TEVG patency improved when more cells were seeded, however duration of incubation time showed minimal effect on TEVG patency. Methods of engineering patient specific TEVG including optimal numbers of cells to maintain graft patency and reduce post-operative stenosis are provided. Closed, single-use customizable systems for seeding TEVG are also provided. Preferably the systems are custom-designed based on morphology of the patient specific graft, to enhance the efficacy of cell seeding. |

| ABSTRACT | Anti-CD33 antibodies are described. The anti-CD33 antibodies can bind within the V-set Ig-like domain or the C2-set Ig-like domain of CD33. Epitopes FIG. 1A on the C2-set Ig-like domain can provide a “pan-binding” site, to which the cognate antibody will bind regardless of whether the CD33 molecule also contains the V-set domain (as in, for example, CD33FL) or not (as in, for example, CD33ΔE2). Alternative epitopes on the C2-set Ig-like domain are accessible for binding if the V-set domain is absent (e.g., as in CD33ΔE2). Antibodies that bind an epitope on the C2-set Ig-like domain (whether they exhibit pan or V-set absent binding) are directed at novel therapeutic targets can increase therapeutic efficacy against CD-33-related disorders. Also described are molecules comprising a binding-competent domain from at least one described anti-CD33 antibody, including scFvs, bi-specific antibody molecules, chimeric antigen receptors, and immunoconjugates. Methods of use are also provided. |

| ABSTRACT | Provided are polynucleotides and viral vectors, e.g., alphavirus or Sindbis viral vectors, encoding multiple, e.g., two or more, epitopes of at least one tumor associated antigen, in which each epitope is separated by a processing or enzyme cleavage site. The encoded epitopes may be the same or different. Also provided are polynucleotides and viral vectors, particularly, alphavirus or Sindbis viral vectors, encoding an immune checkpoint protein, or a ligand binding portion thereof. The immune checkpoint protein or ligand binding portion thereof may be fused to immunoglobulin domains, e.g., an Ig hinge domain and an Ig heavy chain constant domain. Methods of treating subjects having a cancer or tumor, e.g., a TAA-expressing tumor, with the described viral vectors are provided. Treatment of subjects with the vectors, the checkpoint inhibitor molecules and/or other immunomodulatory components, generate an anti-cancer or anti-tumor immune response resulting in increased survivability of tumored subjects and epitope spreading. |

| ABSTRACT | Durable, anti-fouling, crosslinked zwitterionic coatings that are grafted to the surface of a substrate through covalent bonding are disclosed. When exposed to a light source, zwitterionic monomers react with a crosslinker and with activated radicals at the surface of the substrate, simultaneously forming the crosslinked zwitterionic coating and anchoring it to the surface of the substrate. Photomasking techniques can be used to micropattern the zwitterionic coatings. The zwitterionic coatings can be applied to a variety of substrates, including medical devices and systems. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed are approaches to determining a sensitivity of a bacterium to a given antibiotic and generating targeted treatments based on the sensitivity. One or more antibiotics may be selected for a chronic/recurrent infection resulting from a biofilm so as to reduce dose and or length of course of antibiotic treatment. For example, if a bacterial pathogen is determined to be sensitive to an antibiotic in its planktonic form but resistant to that antibiotic in its biofilm form, then the biofilm may be dispersed or disrupted from the biofilm residence in order to clear the infection. In various embodiments, a dispersal or disruption method and/or agent may be determined based at least in part on a rate of bacterial release from a biofilm that sensitizes the pathogen to a chosen antibiotic. |

| ABSTRACT | Massively parallel sequencing of cell-free, maternal plasma DNA was recently demonstrated to be a safe and effective screening method for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies. Here, we report an improved sequencing method achieving significantly increased throughput and decreased cost by replacing laborious sequencing library preparation steps with PCR employing a single primer pair. Using this approach, samples containing as little as 4% trisomy 21 DNA could be readily distinguished from euploid samples. |

| ABSTRACT | Milling with ultraviolet excitation (MUVE) realizes high-throughput multiplex imaging of large three-dimensional samples. The instrumentation may comprise a UV-source attachment, precision stage attachment, and/or a blade assembly, and the instrumentation may overcome several constraints inherent to current state-of-the-art three-dimensional microscopy. MUVE offers throughput that is orders of magnitude faster than other technology by collecting a two-dimensional array of pixels simultaneously. The proposed instrumentation also utilizes serial ablation and provides the opportunity for true whole-organ imaging at microscopic resolution. |

| ABSTRACT | The Reconfigurable Wheel-Track (RWT) is a novel mechanism that allows a wheel to transform into a track, and vice-versa. The wheel permits a vehicle to travel quickly over smooth and semi-rough terrain, then, on-the-fly, transform rapidly into a powered track for crossing extreme terrain. The reconfigurable wheel-track consists of several main components: an outer tire/tread, drive mechanisms for the wheel and track, support mechanisms for the outer tread when in either wheel mode or track mode, and a reconfiguration mechanism that facilitates the transformation from a wheel to a track and vice-versa. The reconfigurable wheel-track includes sensing, actuation, and controls to facilitate efficient and effective transition from wheel to track and vice-versa, and securely maintain each shape. |

| ABSTRACT | An exemplary inventive molding device includes two mold components characterized by matching rounded-star shapes. Each mold component includes eight congruent rounded-tip projections and eight congruent apertured sections separated from each other by the projections and describing a ring shape. The projections correspond to the equiangular points of a star. Each section has a medial hole and is interposed between and connects two projections. The mold components are joined so that their respective projections and holes are even with each other and fasteners are installed through the holes. Appropriate introduction and curing of a castable material inside the joined mold components produces a flexible device suitable for use as part of a biomimicking soft robot. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention in one aspect relates to a method of synthesizing a self-assembled mixed-dimensional heterostructure including 2D metallic borophene and 1D semiconducting armchair-oriented graphene nanoribbons (aGNRs). The method includes depositing boron on a substrate to grow borophene thereon at a substrate temperature in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) chamber; sequentially depositing 4,4″-dibromo-p-terphenyl on the borophene grown substrate at room temperature in the UHV chamber to form a composite structure; and controlling multi-step on-surface coupling reactions of the composite structure to self-assemble a borophene/graphene nanoribbon mixed-dimensional heterostructure. The borophene/aGNR lateral heterointerfaces are structurally and electronically abrupt, thus demonstrating atomically well-defined metal-semiconductor heterojunctions. |

| ABSTRACT | A single body multi-mode mechanical resonator includes two or more spring-mass devices, one or more anchor springs, a phase 1 parallel plate electrode and a phase 2 parallel plate electrode, a plurality of interdigitated shaped combs, a plurality of interdigitated drive combs, and a plurality of interdigitated sense combs. The spring-mass devices further include two or more lumped masses and one or more anchor springs. The coupling springs couple the motion of the two or more lumped masses. The parallel plate electrodes apply forces to the in-phase mode that yield equal in magnitude but opposite in sign frequency shifts of the anti-phase mode. The shaped combs compensate for a frequency drift of the anti-phase mode and cancels first-order displacement effects. The drive combs are aligned to the anti-phase mode, with a frequency selective excitation. The sense combs are aligned to the anti-phase mode and capable of cancelling common-mode noise effects. |

| ABSTRACT | A sensor interface for a resistive sensor has an analog front end comprising. The analog front end has an analog input/output (I/O) sensor port to be coupled to the resistive sensor. An integration stage is coupled to the analog I/O sensor port to oscillate at an oscillation frequency proportional to a sensor resistance of the resistive sensor. The integration stage has a variable integrator capacitance to vary the oscillation frequency. A gain stage is coupled to the integration stage and has a variable gain to vary the oscillation frequency of the integration stage. The sensor interface also has a smart digital controller (SDC) coupled to the analog front end to compute the sensor resistance of the resistive sensor based on the oscillation frequency. In addition, the SDC automatically detects unstable oscillation in the integration stage and causes the variable gain and the variable integrator capacitance to change. |

| ABSTRACT | Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to multi-frequency satellite navigation receiver technology. More specifically, some embodiments relate to an inter-frequency signal aiding technique for multi-frequency signal tracking in a multi-frequency receiver. The present technology enables a satellite navigation receiver (such as GPS) to continue operation, or to have improved performance, in environments where signals on one or more frequency bands experience fading. Some embodiments can estimate parameters of signal channels that experience fading based on measurements obtained from all or other less compromised frequency bands in linear operation by the receiver. Some embodiments can optimally estimate carrier parameters of navigation signals with consideration of relative measurement qualities. These parameters are used to construct the local reference signals, maintain lock on the fading signals, and obtain accurate positioning solutions and remote sensing observations. |

| ABSTRACT | A machine learning approach for evaluating the replicability of research receives a scholarly paper or publication about a research effort, and applies learning models and natural language processing (NLP) to identify replicability of the asserted results. Rule based and machine learning approaches employ models based on preexisting research papers having defined replicability, and compares language features, research parameters and factual assertions extracted from a research paper for evaluation. A pipeline of evaluations and feature extraction analyzes the content of the research paper and renders a prediction value that the described research can be repeated with similar results. |

| ABSTRACT | A self-supervised machine-learning system identifies whether an intermittent signal is present. The system includes a receiver, an encoding neural network, a decoding neural network, and a gating neural network. The receiver detects radiation and from the detected radiation generates a sampled sequence including sampled values describing the intermittent signal and noise. The encoding neural network is trained to compress each window over the sampled sequence into a respective context vector having a fixed dimension less than an incoming dimension of the window. The decoding neural network is trained to decompress the respective context vector for each window into an interim sequence describing the intermittent signal while suppressing the noise. The gating neural network is trained to produce a confidence sequence from a sigmoidal output based on the interim sequence. Despite the noise, the confidence sequence identifies whether the intermittent signal is present in each sampled value in the sampled sequence. |

| ABSTRACT | An automated aerial formation (AAF) system includes an imaging device mounted on an imaging first aircraft that receives reflected energy from an imaged second aircraft. A controller is communicatively coupled to the imaging device and a flight control system of one of the first and the second aircraft. The controller generates a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud based on the reflected energy and identifies a target 3D model in the 3D point cloud. The controller rotates and scales one of a pre-defined 3D model and the target 3D model to find a 3D point registration between the target 3D model and the pre-defined 3D model. The controller steers the flight control system of the one of first and the second aircraft into formation based on the distance and the relative pose determined from the rotating and scaling. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrically conductive, flexible, strain resilient product is produced by mixing metal coated carbon nanotube networks with a liquid polymeric resin to produce a liquid mixture, and the mixture is cured to produce the product. The networks may include welded junctions between nanotubes formed by depositing and melting metal nanoparticles on the nanotubes to form the metal coating. After the mixing step the liquid mixture may be deposited on a flexible substrate in the form of an electrical circuit. The mixing step may further include mixing the composite with a volatile solvent to produce a selected viscosity. Then, a three-dimensional printer may be used to print the product, such as an electrical circuit, on a substrate. The product is cured in an atmosphere that absorbs the solvent. The conductivity of the mixture may be adjusted by adjusting the weight percentage of the metal coated carbon nanotube networks from 50% to 90%, but a preferred range is between 75% and 85%. |

| ABSTRACT | An inductor having a coaxial structure is described. In one example, the structure of the single-turn inductor can include a conductor, an insulation layer, a shielding layer, and a magnetic core. An air duct can be located between the shielding layer and the magnetic core. The shielding layer and the magnetic core can both be connected to a ground. In one example, the single-turn inductor can include a single-layer termination structure formed on terminations of the shielding layer. In another example, the single-turn inductor can include a double-layer termination structure formed on terminations of the shielding layer. Displacement current in the single-turn inductor can be reduced using, for example, lumped equivalent circuit models, a semi-conductive shielding layer model, or a resistive layer and conductive shielding layer model. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for radiating a co-located antenna including radiating the co-located antenna using a dual mode, where the co-located antenna has an inter-element spacing of about 1λ and the dual mode includes a TM11 mode and a TM21 mode. The TM11 mode is radiated to generate a TM11 far field pattern, where the TM11 mode has a broadside pattern characterized with a beam peak at broadside and the TM11 mode produces grating lobes in addition to the beam peak at broadside. The TM21 mode is radiated to generate a TM21 far field pattern orthogonal to the TM11 far field pattern, thereby causing the TM21 mode to produce a null at broadside to suppress the grating lobes produced by the TM11 mode. |

| ABSTRACT | This invention in one aspect relates to a method of synthesizing a self-assembled mixed-dimensional heterostructure including 2D metallic borophene and 1D semiconducting armchair-oriented graphene nanoribbons (aGNRs). The method includes depositing boron on a substrate to grow borophene thereon at a substrate temperature in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) chamber; sequentially depositing 4,4″-dibromo-p-terphenyl on the borophene grown substrate at room temperature in the UHV chamber to form a composite structure; and controlling multi-step on-surface coupling reactions of the composite structure to self-assemble a borophene/graphene nanoribbon mixed-dimensional heterostructure. The borophene/aGNR lateral heterointerfaces are structurally and electronically abrupt, thus demonstrating atomically well-defined metal-semiconductor heterojunctions. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are improved nanozymes for targeting RNA. The disclosed nanozymes are synthesized using recombinant RNase A with site-specific cysteine-substituted mutations that can be covalently functionalized with a length-tunable multi-thiol tether and then loaded onto gold particles through multiple gold-sulfur bonds. This new RNase A loading mechanism is site specific, and it allows high-density loading of alkylthiol modified DNA oligonucleotides. The disclosed nanozymes can also include additional capturer strands and/or involve DNA-recombinant-RNase-A unibodies to further increase the nanozyme's enzymatic activity and target selectivity. Also disclosed are functional on-off switchable nanozymes to control nanozyme activity. In some embodiments, the disclosed nanozyme are core-free hollow forms. The removal of the inorganic nanoparticle cores from nanozymes can effectively eliminate the potential long-term toxicity induced by the core, and also creates a cavity for loading and delivery of small molecule drugs. |

| ABSTRACT | Milling with ultraviolet excitation (MUVE) realizes high-throughput multiplex imaging of large three-dimensional samples. The instrumentation may comprise a UV-source attachment, precision stage attachment, and/or a blade assembly, and the instrumentation may overcome several constraints inherent to current state-of-the-art three-dimensional microscopy. MUVE offers throughput that is orders of magnitude faster than other technology by collecting a two-dimensional array of pixels simultaneously. The proposed instrumentation also utilizes serial ablation and provides the opportunity for true whole-organ imaging at microscopic resolution. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed herein are erasable label systems that involve nanocage molecules positioned around nanoparticles, which can be loaded with, bound to, or adsorbed with imaging agents. The nanocages can contain targeting arms composed of ssDNA or ssRNA that can be used to target biomolecules. For DNA or RNA targeting, this can be done directly. Antibodies can be targeted using avidin-biotin coupling to ssDNA or direct ssDNA conjugation to the antibody surface. ssDNA or ssRNA complementary to one of the arms can then be used to “erase” the label. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the invention enable communicating using nested Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes. A nested LDPC code is an LDPC code having a full blocklength, where shorter blocklengths of the nested LDPC code can be utilized as shorter blocklength LDPC codes. In certain embodiments, a transmitter utilizes a nested LDPC code to communicate via a point-to-point connection. In several embodiments, multiple transmitters utilize nested LDPC codes to communicate simultaneously via a Random Access Channel. One embodiment includes a transmitter capable of encoding a message as symbols using a nested LDPC code until a feedback message indicating an end of epoch message is received. A receiver can determine whether a decoding rule is satisfied at predetermined decode times and transmit an end of epoch message when the decoder can decode a message based upon the nested LDPC code. |

| ABSTRACT | A method for modeling light transport through a scattering medium prior to being incident on a detector and a corresponding system is disclosed. The method determines the effects of scattering and absorption caused by particles as a function of the density, size, and refractive index of the particles, as well as the wavelength of the light source. Based on the determined scattering and absorption coefficients, the signal incident on the detector may be calculated. The calculation may also be inverted such that based upon the detected signal, an object may be detected, and its location in the scattering medium may be estimated. |

The nanocages can contain targeting arms composed of ssDNA or ssRNA that can be used to target biomolecules. For DNA or RNA targeting, this can be done directly. Antibodies can be targeted using avidin-biotin coupling to ssDNA or direct ssDNA conjugation to the antibody surface. ssDNA or ssRNA complementary to one of the arms can then be used to “erase” the label. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to a system for producing a patterned nanostructured surface on a component from a pre-existing, nanostructured surface with a first spatial feature distribution on the component. The system makes use of a force application element configured to apply a force to the pre-existing, nanostructured surface, and a force application control subsystem. The force application control subsystem is configured to control elevational movement of the force application element along a first axis of movement into and out of contact with the pre-existing, nanostructured surface to apply a predetermined load to the pre-existing, nanostructured surface. The predetermined load is sufficient to modify the pre-existing, non-patterned nanostructured surface to create the patterned nanostructured surface. |

| ABSTRACT | Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, computing devices, and machine-readable mediums in which the system maintains a list of resources available for each rollback session. In some examples, state data is kept that indicates available memory. If a write occurs for a particular session and the amount of available memory for a session has been used, a flag is set in metadata for the memory location and the write is not mirrored. In this manner, the technical problem of one undo logging session using too much memory and preventing other undo logging sessions from properly functioning is solved by the technical solution of setting resource limits for each undo logging session. |

| ABSTRACT | An inductor having a coaxial structure is described. In one example, the structure of the single-turn inductor can include a conductor, an insulation layer, a shielding layer, and a magnetic core. An air duct can be located between the shielding layer and the magnetic core. The shielding layer and the magnetic core can both be connected to a ground. In one example, the single-turn inductor can include a single-layer termination structure formed on terminations of the shielding layer. In another example, the single-turn inductor can include a double-layer termination structure formed on terminations of the shielding layer. Displacement current in the single-turn inductor can be reduced using, for example, lumped equivalent circuit models, a semi-conductive shielding layer model, or a resistive layer and conductive shielding layer model. |

| ABSTRACT | Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to multi-frequency satellite navigation receiver technology. More specifically, some embodiments relate to an inter-frequency signal aiding technique for multi-frequency signal tracking in a multi-frequency receiver. The present technology enables a satellite navigation receiver (such as GPS) to continue operation, or to have improved performance, in environments where signals on one or more frequency bands experience fading. Some embodiments can estimate parameters of signal channels that experience fading based on measurements obtained from all or other less compromised frequency bands in linear operation by the receiver. Some embodiments can optimally estimate carrier parameters of navigation signals with consideration of relative measurement qualities. These parameters are used to construct the local reference signals, maintain lock on the fading signals, and obtain accurate positioning solutions and remote sensing observations. |

| ABSTRACT | A process enables growing thick stoichiometric crystalline and preferably IR-transparent optical PCMO material on Si and other substrates. Sputter deposition is carried out in oxygen-free inert gas (e.g., Ar) environment, which helps to prevent decomposition of the PCMO material over the substrate. In the disclosed process, there is no need to add a seed layer prior to PCMO deposition. Moreover, no post-deposition annealing is needed in a high-temperature and high-pressure oxygen furnace, but an anneal provides certain additional benefits in terms of improved transparency at IR wavelengths. Over a long deposition time for a thick PCMO film on the high temperature (≥450° C.) substrates, the PCMO deposition is made repeated cycles of deposition of the PCMO material at the high temperature, each deposition cycle being followed by cooling the PCMO-deposited substrate to a substantially lower temperature (<50° C.). If an anneal is applied in a hydrogen environment that will cause hydrogenation of the PCMO film which yields PCMO films with an extremely small optical loss (i.e., optical extinction coefficient k<0.001) over the entire IR range. |

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 15, 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.
