| ABSTRACT | The present invention relates to gels and processes for making bundles of aligned ceramic nanofibers, ceramic nanostructures made by such processes, and methods of using such ceramic nanostructures. Such process is templated via block copolymer self-assembly but does not require any post processing thermal and/or solvent annealing steps. As a result, such process is significantly more efficient and scalable than other processes that are templated via block copolymer self-assembly. The resulting fibers are aligned according to the direction of deposition, making steps where individual fibers are bundled unnecessary. |

| ABSTRACT | A vapor compression system control implementations that maintain surface temperature uniformity of at least one cold plate throughout pulsed thermal loads from a minimal or zero load state suddenly to a high or 100% of design capacity state where the heat pulse occurrence, frequency, and durations are not known a priori. Vapor compression system control implementations that maintain surface temperature uniformity of at least one cold plate throughout pulsed thermal loads from a minimal or zero load state suddenly to a high or 100% of design capacity state where the heat pulse occurrence, frequency, and durations are not known a priori. Rapid thermal pulse applications require a robust control strategy of the cold plate assembly to maintain cold plate surface temperature uniformity. In one implementation, a control system for the cold plate assembly that maintains a uniform cold plate temperature given controlled supply and suction conditions is contemplated. |

| ABSTRACT | A time-to-frequency converter transforms an initial single-photon pulse into a transformed pulse such that the temporal waveform of the initial pulse is mapped to the spectrum of the transformed pulse. The time-to-frequency converter includes a dispersive optical element followed by a time lens. The spectrum of the transformed pulse is then measured to determine the arrival time of the initial pulse. The spectrum can be measured using a photon-counting spectrometer that spatially disperses the transformed pulse onto an single-photon detector array. Alternatively, an additional dispersive element can be used with the time-to-frequency converter to implement a time magnifier. The arrival time of the resulting time-magnified pulse can then be measured using time-correlated single-photon counting. This arrival time can then be divided by the magnification factor of the time magnifier to obtain the arrival time of the initial pulse. |

| ABSTRACT | An image sensor capable of recording both spectral and polarization properties of light using a single chip device includes an at least 2048 by 2048 array of superpixels. Each superpixel includes an array of spectral pixels, and an adjacent array of polarization pixels. Each spectral pixel includes a spectral filter and a stack of photodiodes, where each photodiode has a different quantum efficiency and is, therefore, sensitive to a different wavelength of light passed by the spectral filter. Each polarization pixel includes a polarization filter and a stack of photodiodes, similar to the spectral pixel photodiode stacks. |

| ABSTRACT | A variable zoom X-ray CT method can significantly improve resolution for structures with large in-plane dimensions, for example to detect complex structural damage due to low-velocity impact in large thin composite laminate panels. The variable zoom method comprises emitting an X-ray beam from an X-ray source to project a region of interest (ROI) of a specimen within a field of view (FOV) onto a detector. Projections of the ROI are scanned with the detector while rotating the specimen about a rotational axis of a specimen stage and translating the specimen stage along an acquisition trajectory between the X-ray source and the detector. The acquisition trajectory specifies a source-to-object distance (SOD) between the X-ray source and the rotational axis of the specimen stage at each rotation angle of the specimen stage. A reconstruction computer reconstructs a three-dimensional volume of the specimen from the projections scanned by the detector. |

| ABSTRACT | During training of deep neural networks, a Copernican loss (LC) is designed to augment a primary loss function, for example, a standard Softmax loss, to explicitly minimize intra-class variation and simultaneously maximize inter-class variation. Copernican loss operates using the cosine distance and thereby affects angles leading to a cosine embedding, which removes the disconnect between training and testing. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for real-time image transformation monitoring for a display unit receives, via a pixel buffer, pixels of source image data and appends fiducial data to each pixel, the fiducial data corresponding to a reference checksum associated with a transformation map for one or more transformations of the source image into an output image for display. When source image data is read out of the pixel buffer, e.g., as a sequence of pixel datasets, an image transformation monitor extracts the fiducial data appended to each dataset and incorporates each set of extracted fiducial data into a checksum calculation for the current source image. When the transformed output image is complete, the cumulative checksum calculation for the current source image is compared to the reference checksum, determining a system status or detecting a system fault based on whether or not the checksum calculation and reference calculation are equivalent. |

| ABSTRACT | A dielectric nanolayer capacitor comprises a nanoscale dielectric layer between a cathode layer and an anode layer. When exposed to a high electric field of at least about 0.5 GV/m at a temperature of about 200 K or less, the nanoscale dielectric layer includes an amount of trapped charge sufficient to form a Coulomb barrier for suppressing leakage current. A method of charging a dielectric nanolayer capacitor includes cooling a nanolayer capacitor comprising a nanoscale dielectric layer between a cathode layer and an anode layer to a temperature of about 200 K or less, and applying a high electric field of at least about 0.5 GV/m to the nanolayer capacitor to inject electrons into the nanoscale dielectric layer. While the nanolayer capacitor remains cooled to the temperature, the electrons are trapped in the nanoscale dielectric layer and form a Coulomb barrier to suppress leakage current. |

| ABSTRACT | A composite solid electrolyte for a solid-state electrochemical cell is provided. The electrolyte may include a plurality of aramid nanofibers, such as a branched aramid nanofiber network, an ionically conductive polymer, such as poly(ethylene oxide) or quaternary ammonia functionalized polyvinyl alcohol (QAFPVA), and an optional divalent ion salt. The electrolyte is particularly suitable for use with zinc ions, where the divalent ion salt may comprise zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate Zn(CF3SO3)2. An electrochemical cell or battery is provided incorporating such a composite solid electrolyte that cycles ions, such as zinc ions or hydroxide ions, suppresses or minimizes dendrite formation, while having good ionic conductivity and being flexible. This flexibility provides the ability to create deformations in the electrochemical cell, such as protrusions and recesses that may define a corrugated pattern. Such a battery may be a rechargeable structural battery with a corrugated surface profile that can be used to form load-bearing structural components. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for removing modulated interference (e.g., FSK, MSK, CW) from an input signal demodulates the input signal into a tracking bitstream via a set of phase locked loop (PLL) filters, one PLL filter for each modulated interference component (e.g., signal) known or suspected to be interfering with the input signal. Each PLL filter estimates, based on an estimated modulation frequency and center frequency associated with its target modulated interference component, a peak magnitude, phase, and updated center frequency and, based on these parameters, approximates the target interference component. Each re-created modulated interference component is subtracted from the original input signal to produce an output signal from which the known or suspected modulated interference components have been substantially removed. |

| ABSTRACT | A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) inertial sensing device having a large proof mass with interlocking tabs is disclosed. The interlocking tabs limit motion of the proof mass when subjected to large inertial forces. The interlocking tabs are formed around the periphery of the proof mass and interact with corresponding interlocking tabs formed in a frame to which the proof mass is tethered. The motion of the proof mass is limited by the interlocking tabs, which are formed during MEMS fabrication of the inertial sensing device rather than as part of the packaging process. With a large proof mass, the inertial sensing device can provide high sensitivity in low inertial force environments while the interlocking tabs protect the device when subjected to high inertial forces. |

| ABSTRACT | An electrochemical heat transfer device for a hot water tank utilizes an electrochemical hydrogen compressor to pump hydrogen into and out of a tank having a metal hydride forming alloy therein. The absorption of hydrogen by the metal hydride forming alloy is exothermic, produces heat, and the desorption of the hydrogen from the metal hydride forming alloy is endothermic and draws heat in. An electrochemical hydrogen compressor may be configured between to tanks and pump hydrogen back and forth to form a heat transfer device, such as a hot water heater. A heat transfer device may be coupled with the tank or may comprise the outer surface of the tank to transfer heat to an object or to the surroundings. A closed loop may be configured having two tanks and one or two electrochemical hydrogen compressors to pump the hydrogen in a loop around the system. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a multi-tiered approach to cache compression are disclosed. A cache includes a cache controller, light compressor, and heavy compressor. The decision on which compressor to use for compressing cache lines is made based on certain resource availability such as cache capacity or memory bandwidth. This allows the cache to opportunistically use complex algorithms for compression while limiting the adverse effects of high decompression latency on system performance. To address the above issue, the proposed design takes advantage of the heavy compressors for effectively reducing memory bandwidth in high bandwidth memory (HBM) interfaces as long as they do not sacrifice system performance. Accordingly, the cache combines light and heavy compressors with a decision-making unit to achieve reduced off-chip memory traffic without sacrificing system performance. |

| ABSTRACT | A processing system monitors and synchronizes parallel execution of workgroups (WGs). One or more of the WGs perform (e.g., periodically or in response to a trigger such as an indication of oversubscription) a waiting atomic instruction. In response to a comparison between an atomic value produced as a result of the waiting atomic instruction and an expected value, WGs that fail to produce a correct atomic value are identified as being in a waiting state (e.g., waiting for a synchronization variable). Execution of WGs in the waiting state is prevented (e.g., by a context switch) until corresponding synchronization variables are released. |

| ABSTRACT | A system for evaluating the effectiveness of an anti-counterfeiting measure employed for an item is provided. The system trains a classifier to indicate whether the anti-counterfeiting measure of an evaluation item is genuine or counterfeit. For evaluation items that have been classified as genuine or counterfeit, the system applies the classifier to determine whether the anti-counterfeiting measure of that evaluation item is genuine or counterfeit. The system then generates an effectiveness metric that indicates whether the anti-counterfeiting measure is effective based on evaluation items that are assessed as being genuine whose anti-counterfeiting measures are classified as being counterfeit. |

| ABSTRACT | A calibration method for an x-ray computerized tomography system and a method of tomographic reconstruction are provided. The calibration method includes steps of measuring at least one point spread function (PSF) at each of a plurality of points, compressing each PSF, and in one or more storing operations, storing the compressed PSFs in a computer-accessible storage medium. The PSF measurements are made in a grid of calibration points in a field of view (FOV) of the system. In the measuring step, an absorber is positioned at each of the calibration points, and an x-ray projection is taken at least once at each of those absorber positions. In the method of tomographic image reconstruction, projection data from an x-ray tomographic projection system are input to an iterative image reconstruction algorithm. The algorithm retrieves and utilizes a priori system information (APSI) The APSI comprises comprising point spread functions (PSFs) of all voxels in a voxelization of the field of view that are compressed in the form of vectors of parameters. For utilization, each retrieved vector of parameters is decompressed so as to generate a discretized PSF. |

| ABSTRACT | A battery and cooling device system comprising a thermal battery and a cooling device including a boiler, a condenser, a vapor tube, a reaction container, and a siphon. The boiler boils a solvent via heat drawn from the battery. The condenser condenses the vaporized solvent. The vapor tube connects the boiler to the reaction container so that the vaporized solvent travels through the vapor tube from the boiler into the condenser. The reaction container receives the liquidated solvent from the condenser so that the liquidated solvent interacts with a solute in the reaction container to effect an endothermic reaction to further draw heat from the battery. The siphon connects the reaction container to the boiler and drains the liquid solvent from the reaction container into the boiler once a predetermined amount of liquid solvent fills the reaction container. |

| ABSTRACT | An assistive ankle foot orthosis is described. The AFO has a tubular vertical member arranged laterally to a user's limb. The member carries a rotational bearing and a rotational element such as a pulley. The pulley is connected to a footplate. The footplate provides joint movement assistance or resistance to the user upon rotation of the pulley. The pulley is coupled to one or more springs that provide counter-rotational resistance to pulley movement, thereby storing, and then returning, rotational force during certain foot movements. The spring can include a leaf spring arranged inside the member, the stiffness of which can be manually, automatically or dynamically adjusted by movement of the device. |

| ABSTRACT | The invention is a high-throughput voltage screening crystallographic device and methodology that uses multiple micro wells and electric circuits capable of assaying different crystallization condition for the same or different proteins of interest at the same of different voltages under a humidity and temperature controlled environment. The protein is solubilized in a lipid matrix similar to the lipid composition of the protein in the native environment to ensure stability of the protein during crystallization. The invention provides a system and method where the protein is transferred to a lipid matrix that holds a resting membrane potential, which reduces the degree of conformational freedom of the protein. The invention overcomes the majority of the difficulties associated with vapor diffusion techniques and essentially reconstitutes the protein in its native lipid environment under “cuasi” physiological conditions. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides methods for controllably forming a layer of amorphous ice and other amorphous solids on a substrate, and also provides cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) sample preparation methods and systems that utilize in vacuo formation of amorphous ice and other solids. Formation of the amorphous solid layer can be independent of the deposition of sample molecules to be analyzed using electron microscopy, and allows for the generation of a uniformly thick layer. Optionally, mass spectrometry instruments are used to generate and purify molecules deposited on the generated amorphous solid layer. The techniques and systems described herein can deliver near ideal cryo-EM sample preparation to greatly increase resolution, sensitivity, scope, and throughput of cryo-EM protein imaging, and therefore greatly impact the field of structural biology. |

| ABSTRACT | A universal bacterial assay and kit for detecting and monitoring changes in concentration of a target analyte in solution. The assay relies on an engineered high affinity protein-based sensor with a detectable label that has high specificity to a target analyte, typically a ligand or metallated complex, and can be used to spectroscopically monitor interaction of the target analyte with a test bacterial strain. The sensors can be in the form of living, transport-deficient bacterial cells expressing the engineered high affinity protein, or in the form of purified proteins themselves. The system can further be used to screen candidate compounds for interference with the binding and uptake of such analytes by bacterial cells, which is useful in investigation of new classes of antibiotics. |

| ABSTRACT | A time-to-frequency converter transforms an initial single-photon pulse into a transformed pulse such that the temporal waveform of the initial pulse is mapped to the spectrum of the transformed pulse. The time-to-frequency converter includes a dispersive optical element followed by a time lens. The spectrum of the transformed pulse is then measured to determine the arrival time of the initial pulse. The spectrum can be measured using a photon-counting spectrometer that spatially disperses the transformed pulse onto an single-photon detector array. Alternatively, an additional dispersive element can be used with the time-to-frequency converter to implement a time magnifier. The arrival time of the resulting time-magnified pulse can then be measured using time-correlated single-photon counting. This arrival time can then be divided by the magnification factor of the time magnifier to obtain the arrival time of the initial pulse. |

| 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. |

| ABSTRACT | A composite solid electrolyte for a solid-state electrochemical cell is provided. The electrolyte may include a plurality of aramid nanofibers, such as a branched aramid nanofiber network, an ionically conductive polymer, such as poly(ethylene oxide) or quaternary ammonia functionalized polyvinyl alcohol (QAFPVA), and an optional divalent ion salt. The electrolyte is particularly suitable for use with zinc ions, where the divalent ion salt may comprise zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate Zn(CF3SO3)2. An electrochemical cell or battery is provided incorporating such a composite solid electrolyte that cycles ions, such as zinc ions or hydroxide ions, suppresses or minimizes dendrite formation, while having good ionic conductivity and being flexible. This flexibility provides the ability to create deformations in the electrochemical cell, such as protrusions and recesses that may define a corrugated pattern. Such a battery may be a rechargeable structural battery with a corrugated surface profile that can be used to form load-bearing structural components. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides a DC mechanical circuit breaker that can utilize two switches, one of which can generate zero-crossing with an alternate oscillatory circuit for the other one, which can be a conventional zero-crossing-based AC breaker and can be used in the main circuit. This is different from the conventional single-switch commute-and-absorb method currently used. The present disclosure shows that disclosed circuit breaker improves the fault current extinction and significantly reduces the voltage rate-of-change while creating the current zero-crossing faster compared to the available technology. Thus, disclosed circuit breaker is capable of interrupting high DC currents with minimal arc through a less expensive AC circuit breaker. Simulation and hardware results are provided to show the efficiency of the disclosed circuit breaker. |

| ABSTRACT | During training of deep neural networks, a Copernican loss (LC) is designed to augment a primary loss function, for example, a standard Softmax loss, to explicitly minimize intra-class variation and simultaneously maximize inter-class variation. Copernican loss operates using the cosine distance and thereby affects angles leading to a cosine embedding, which removes the disconnect between training and testing. |

| ABSTRACT | A method and apparatus are provided for facilitating a datatype engine (DTE) to support high performance computing. A network interface card (NIC) receives, via a message passing interface, a command to read data from a host memory. The NIC determines that the command indicates a first datatype descriptor stored in the NIC. The NIC forms, based on the command, a packet which indicates a base address and a length associated with the data to be read from the host memory and passes the packet to the DTE. The DTE generates a plurality of read requests comprising offsets from the base address and corresponding lengths based on the first datatype descriptor. The DTE passes the plurality of read requests to a direct memory access module, thereby allowing the NIC to access the host memory while eliminating copies of the data on the host during transfer of the command across a network. |

| ABSTRACT | A deployment of radiologic beacons detect radiation levels for emitted radiation around a particular geographic area such as a town, city or campus environment. In a deployment of beacons for detecting and gathering radiological gamma-ray spectral data, each beacon periodically generates a set of values indicative of radiation at a particular energy level, and assembles a vector of the set of values ordered according to increasing energy levels. Each of the beacons transmits the vector as a stream or periodic sequence of data to a common aggregation location. Each beacon encodes the data according to a compression mechanism based on a Poisson distribution of the spectral data. A running average of the values for each energy level is maintained for the sequence of vectors, and encoding/decoding mechanisms are selected based on the average value to be encoded. |

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 29, 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?
