| ABSTRACT | Drug delivery devices and methods are provided for delivering one or more drugs into a biological tissue. The devices include microneedles that may be separable from the drug delivery devices, control drug release rate and/or direction, or a combination thereof. When the microneedles are separable, a force applied to the drug delivery devices may be effective to penetrate a biological tissue with the microneedles and then to separate the microneedles from the drug delivery devices. The drug delivery devices may be capable of achieving discrete periods of drug release. Methods for delivery drug with microneedles also are provided. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides a one-pot chemoenzymatic method for site-specific modification and conjugation of antibodies at their Fc glycan site to produce structurally well-defined antibody conjugates carrying defined drugs and other entities. The method is enabled by the discovery that certain endoglycosidases have the ability to both deglycosylate an antibody and to recognize selectively modified small disaccharide oxazolines for transglycosylation on antibodies without hydrolysis of the resulting products. |

| ABSTRACT | Genetic circuits have been developed to regulate behaviors of replicon RNA in responses to small molecules, which has broader applications, such as for quantitative expression of cargo genes, temporary expression of immunomodulatory cytokines or antigens for better cancer immunotherapy or vaccination, and for increased safety in use of self-replicating vectors or in combination with other viral-delivery vectors. Described herein are genetic circuits suitable for systems that either require a tight off state or a slow off state, which can serve for instance where either a kill switch or prolonged protein expression (e.g., of vaccine antigens) are needed. |

While CRISPR-based DNA editing has become routine, analogous methods for editing RNA have yet to be established. Here we repurpose the type III-A CRISPR RNA-guided nuclease for sequence-specific cleavage of the SARS-CoV-2 genome. The type III cleavage reaction is performed in vitro using purified viral RNA, resulting in sequence-specific excision of 6, 12, 18 or 24 nucleotides. Ligation of the cleavage products is facilitated by a DNA splint that bridges the excision and RNA ligase is used to link the RNA products before transfection into mammalian cells. The SARS-CoV-2 RNA is infectious and standard plaque assays are used to recover viral clones. Collectively, this work demonstrates how type III CRISPR systems can be repurposed for sequence-specific editing of RNA viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and more generally for gene therapy. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and apparatus for direct detection of chemical reactions are provided. Electric charge perturbations of the local environment during enzyme-catalyzed reactions are sensed by an electrode system with an immobilized target molecule. The charge perturbation caused by the polymerase reaction can uniquely identify a DNA sequence. The polymerization process generates local perturbations of charge in the solution near the electrode surface and induces a charge in a polarazible gold electrode. This event is detected as a transient current by a voltage clamp amplifier. Detection of single nucleotides in a sequence can be determined by dispensing individual dNTPs to the electrode solution and detecting the charge perturbations. Alternatively, multiple bases can be determined at the same time using a mix of all dNTPs with subsequent analysis of the resulting signal. This technique may be adapted to other reaction determinations, such as enzymatic reactions, other electrode configurations, and other amplifying circuits. |

| ABSTRACT | Quantum repeaters and network architectures use two concatenated quantum error correction codes to increase the transmission range of quantum information. A block of data qubits collectively encode a second-layer logical qubit according to a second-layer code concatenated with a first-layer code. A first-layer quantum repeater first-layer corrects each data qubit based on a first-layer syndrome extracted therefrom. The first-layer quantum repeater transmits these first-layer-corrected qubits to a second-layer quantum repeater via a quantum communication channel. The first-layer quantum repeater also transmits the first-layer syndromes to the second-layer quantum repeater via a classical communication channel. After extracting a second-layer syndrome from the first-layer-corrected qubits, the second-layer quantum repeater uses the first-layer syndromes and second-layer syndrome to second-layer correct the first-layer-corrected qubits. The first-layer syndromes improve quantum error correction by reducing the number of sec-and-layer stabilizer measurements needed to determine which data qubits have an error. |

| 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 telepresence device may autonomously check patients. The telepresence device may determine the frequency of checking based on whether the patient has a risk factor. The telepresence device may include an image sensor, a thermal camera, a depth sensor, one or more systems for interacting with patients, or the like. The telepresence device may be configured to evaluate the patient's condition using the one or more sensors. The telepresence device may measure physiological characteristics using Eulerian video magnification, may detect pallor, fluid level, or fluid color, may detect thermal asymmetry, may determine a psychological state from body position or movement, or the like. The telepresence device may determine whether the patient is experiencing a potentially harmful condition, such as sepsis or stroke, and may trigger an alarm if so. To overcome alarm fatigue, the telepresence device may annoy a care provider until the care provider responds to an alarm. |

| ABSTRACT | A flexible piezoelectric thin film, and method of manufacture, has a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-glycine-PVA sandwich heterostructure. The thin film is manufactured by evaporating the solvent from a glycine-PVA mixture solution. The film automatically assembles into the PVA-glycine-PVA sandwich heterostructure as it is salted out. Strong hydrogen bonding between the oxygen atoms in glycine and hydroxyl groups on PVA chains are responsible for the nucleation and growth of the piezoelectric γ-glycine and alignment of the domain orientation. |

| ABSTRACT | An afocal sensor assembly detects a light beam with an aberrated wavefront. The afocal sensor assembly is configured to provide sorted four-dimensional (4D) light field information regarding the light beam, for example, via one or more plenoptic images. Based on the 4D light field information, a lossy reconstruction of an aberrated wavefront for one or more actuators of an adaptive optics (AO) device is performed. The AO device can be controlled based on the lossy reconstruction to correct the wavefront of the light beam. In some embodiments, the aberrated wavefront is due to passage of the light beam through atmospheric turbulence, and the lossy reconstruction and correction using the AO device is performed in less than 1.0 ms. The lossy reconstruction of the aberrated wavefront can have a phase accuracy in a range of λ/2 to λ/30. |

| ABSTRACT | Quantum repeaters and network architectures use two concatenated quantum error correction codes to increase the transmission range of quantum information. A block of data qubits collectively encode a second-layer logical qubit according to a second-layer code concatenated with a first-layer code. A first-layer quantum repeater first-layer corrects each data qubit based on a first-layer syndrome extracted therefrom. The first-layer quantum repeater transmits these first-layer-corrected qubits to a second-layer quantum repeater via a quantum communication channel. The first-layer quantum repeater also transmits the first-layer syndromes to the second-layer quantum repeater via a classical communication channel. After extracting a second-layer syndrome from the first-layer-corrected qubits, the second-layer quantum repeater uses the first-layer syndromes and second-layer syndrome to second-layer correct the first-layer-corrected qubits. The first-layer syndromes improve quantum error correction by reducing the number of sec-and-layer stabilizer measurements needed to determine which data qubits have an error. |

| ABSTRACT | Methods and apparatuses for downconverting high frequency subbands to a lower frequency band and recovering signals-of-interest. The system includes a controller, a signal generator, an optical source, a dual-drive mach zehnder modulator (DDMZM), a photodetector, and a dechipping/image (DI) rejector. The controller outputs chipping frequencies to the signal generator which generates local oscillator (LO) tones shifted by the respective chipping frequencies. The optical source outputs an optical signal to the DDMZM which has first and second arms and modulators. The first modulator receives a signal from a source and modulates it onto the optical signal propagating through the first arm to form a first modulated optical signal. The second modulator receives the shifted local oscillator tones and modulates them onto the optical signal propagating through the second arm to form a second modulated optical signal. The DDMZM outputs a signal which is a combination of the first and second modulated optical signals to the photodetector which generates a corresponding electrical signal. The dechipping/image (DI) rejector receives the electrical signal and one of the chipping frequencies and outputs a signal that maximizes signals in one high frequency subband while suppressing signals in other high frequency subbands. |

| ABSTRACT | Off-spec fly ash-based spherical lightweight aggregate (LWA), designated SPoRA, was manufactured and its engineering properties, including specific gravity, dry rodded unit weight, water absorption, mechanical performance, and pore structure, were evaluated. Using the characterized SPoRA, lightweight concrete (LWC) samples were made and properties of the LWC were assessed and compared with samples made using the traditional LWA. The results indicated that fine and coarse SPoRA had 72 h absorption capacities of 16.4% and 20.9%, respectively, which were higher than that of traditional LWA. SPoRA had a saturated surface dry (SSD) specific gravity higher than traditional LWA, which resulted in higher fresh density for the LWC prepared with SPoRA. Large spherical type pores were found for SPoRA similar to the traditional slate-based LWA. The pore size distribution of SPoRA, characterized using a dynamic vapor sorption analyzer, indicated that more than 97% of the pores had pore diameters greater than 50 nm. |

| ABSTRACT | Quantum repeaters and network architectures use two concatenated quantum error correction codes to increase the transmission range of quantum information. A block of data qubits collectively encode a second-layer logical qubit according to a second-layer code concatenated with a first-layer code. A first-layer quantum repeater first-layer corrects each data qubit based on a first-layer syndrome extracted therefrom. The first-layer quantum repeater transmits these first-layer-corrected qubits to a second-layer quantum repeater via a quantum communication channel. The first-layer quantum repeater also transmits the first-layer syndromes to the second-layer quantum repeater via a classical communication channel. After extracting a second-layer syndrome from the first-layer-corrected qubits, the second-layer quantum repeater uses the first-layer syndromes and second-layer syndrome to second-layer correct the first-layer-corrected qubits. The first-layer syndromes improve quantum error correction by reducing the number of sec-and-layer stabilizer measurements needed to determine which data qubits have an error. |

| ABSTRACT | In one aspect the present disclosure relates to a system for forming a three dimensional (3D) object from a volume of photo-responsive material contained within a material container. A plurality of optical projection subsystems are adapted to be arranged at least partially circumferentially around a material container containing the volume of photo-responsive material, and are controlled by a controller. The optical projection subsystems direct optical projections at a plurality of angles θ through the volume of photo-responsive material. The optical projections are further directed about a z axis extending through the volume of photo-responsive material. The plurality of optical subsystems are further controlled by the controller to provide each of the optical projections with a calculated three-dimensional intensity distribution acting over a fixed temporal exposure period, which is sufficient to at least one of cure or remove selected portions of the volume of photo-responsive material, and leave other portions unmodified, to form a desired 3D part. |

| ABSTRACT | An apparatus includes a heterostructure including a substrate of Group-III-nitride material, a source layer including a dopant positioned on a surface of the substrate, and a conductive cap layer positioned on the source layer. A method of electric field-enhanced impurity diffusion includes obtaining a heterostructure including a substrate of Group-III-nitride semiconductor material, a source layer including a dopant positioned directly on the substrate, and a conductive cap layer positioned above the source layer, and applying a thermal annealing treatment to the heterostructure. An electric field gradient is established within the source layer and the cap layer for causing diffusion of an element from the substrate to the cap layer, and for causing diffusion of the dopant from the source layer to a former location of the element in the substrate thereby changing a conductivity and/or magnetic characteristic of the substrate. |

| 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 | Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic, saprophytic fungus that infects maize and other fatty acid-rich food and feed crops and produces toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites known as aflatoxins. In vitro studies showed a five-fold increase in antifungal activity of AGM182 (vs. tachyplesin1) against A. flavus. Transgenic maize plants expressing AGM182 under maize Ubiquitin-1 promoter were produced through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. PCR products confirmed integration of the AGM182 gene, while RT-PCR of maize RNA confirmed the presence of AGM182 transcripts. Maize kernel screening assay using a highly aflatoxigenic A. flavus strain (AF70) showed up to 72% reduction in fungal growth in the transgenic AGM182 seeds compared to isogenic negative control seeds. |

| ABSTRACT | In examples, a relative skin reflectance of a captured image of a subject is quantified. Based on the relative skin reflectance, the captured image is determined as suitable or not suitable for biometric identification. When the captured image is determined not suitable, a remedial capture setting is calculated and provided to an image capturing resource. Another captured image of the subject, captured under the remedial capture setting, is received from the image capturing resource. The relative skin reflectance of the another captured image is quantified and based thereon, there is a determining of whether the another captured image is suitable or is not suitable. |

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, November 12, 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:
https://wayfinder.digital/fedinvent/patents-2022/fedinvent-patents-20241112.html
Just update the date portion of the URL. Tuesdays for patents. Thursdays for pre-grant publication of patent applications.
