| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure provides a hypoglycemia prediction algorithm (HPA) specifically designed for the unique postprandial glycemic patterns characteristic of PBH. This algorithm can predict impending hypoglycemia by performing a series of steps. The steps can include collecting data from at least one sensor. The data can comprise a concentration of glucose in the bloodstream of a subject. The data can be processed using the HPA and impending glucose concentrations can be calculated. The method can then provide for determining whether the predicted glucose concentrations are lower than a hypoglycemic threshold parameter. In response to determining that the predicted glucose concentrations are lower than the hypoglycemic threshold parameter, the method can provide for enacting an impending hypoglycemia protocol. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for scoring movement disorder symptoms comprises a movement measurement data acquisition system and processing comprising kinematic feature extraction and an algorithm trained using Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores from skilled clinicians. The movement data acquisition system, or “movement measuring apparatus,” may comprise sensors such as accelerometers or gyroscopes or may utilize motion capture and/or machine vision technology or various other methods to measure tremor, bradykinesia, dyskinesia, or other movement disorders in a subject afflicted with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or the like. The method outputs, and system displays, a score that uses the same scale as the UPDRS but has greater resolution and lower variability. In some embodiments, the system is used to diagnose and/or treat the patient by providing recommendations for treatment and/or by supplying treatment in the form of pharmaceutical drugs and/or electric stimulus as part of a closed-loop system. |

| ABSTRACT | Computational and functional analysis identified the neuropeptide receptor Nmur1 as selectively expressed on Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). While both IL-33 and IL-25 promote ILC activation in vivo, IL-33 induces robust ILC proliferation, whereas ILCs activated with IL-25 do not proliferate as robustly and up-regulate Nmur1 expression. Treatment with neuromedin U (NMU), the neuropeptide ligand of Nmur1, had little effect on its own. Co-administration of IL-25 with NMU, however, dramatically amplified allergic lung inflammation and induced the proliferation and expansion of specific ILC2 subsets, characterized by a molecular signature unique to pro-inflammatory ILC2s. The results demonstrate that Nmur1 signaling strongly modulates IL-25-mediated ILC2 responses, resulting in highly proliferative pro-inflammatory ILCs, and highlights the importance of neuro-immune crosstalk in allergic inflammatory responses at mucosal surfaces. |

| ABSTRACT | The present invention provides a fluorescent silica-based nanoparticle that allows for precise detection, characterization, monitoring and treatment of a disease such as cancer. The nanoparticle has a range of diameters including between about 0.1 nm and about 100 nm, between about 0.5 nm and about 50 nm, between about 1 nm and about 25 nm, between about 1 nm and about 15 nm, or between about 1 nm and about 8 nm. The nanoparticle has a fluorescent compound positioned within the nanoparticle, and has greater brightness and fluorescent quantum yield than the free fluorescent compound. The nanoparticle also exhibits high biostability and biocompatibility. To facilitate efficient urinary excretion of the nanoparticle, it may be coated with an organic polymer, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The small size of the nanoparticle, the silica base and the organic polymer coating minimizes the toxicity of the nanoparticle when administered in vivo. In order to target a specific cell type, the nanoparticle may further be conjugated to a ligand, which is capable of binding to a cellular component associated with the specific cell type, such as a tumor marker. In one embodiment, a therapeutic agent may be attached to the nanoparticle. To permit the nanoparticle to be detectable by not only optical fluorescence imaging, but also other imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), computerized tomography (CT), bioluminescence imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radionuclides/radiometals or paramagnetic ions may be conjugated to the nanoparticle. |

| ABSTRACT | A vestibular stimulation array is disclosed having one or more separate electrode arrays each operatively adapted for implantation in a semicircular canal of the vestibular system, wherein each separate electrode array is dimensioned and constructed so that residual vestibular function is preserved. In particular, the electrode arrays are dimensioned such that the membranous labyrinth is not substantially compressed. Furthermore, the electrode array has a stop portion to limit insertion of the electrode array into the semi-circular canal and is still enough to avoid damage to the anatomical structures. |

| ABSTRACT | Devices and methods for blocking signal transmission through neural tissue. One step of a method includes placing a therapy delivery device into electrical communication with the neural tissue. The therapy delivery device includes an electrode contact having a high charge capacity material. A multi-phase direct current (DC) can be applied to the neural tissue without damaging the neural tissue. The multi-phase DC includes a cathodic DC phase and anodic DC phase that collectively produce a neural block and reduce the charge delivered by the therapy delivery device. The DC delivery can be combined with high frequency alternating current (HFAC) block to produce a system that provides effective, safe, long term block without inducing an onset response. |

| ABSTRACT | Underwater Deployable Structures (UDSs) capable of achieving inflation via mechanical pumps, moisture-activated expanding foams, water swelling material, or a hybrid of a mechanical pump and water swelling material. Moisture expanding foams begin as polyurethane-based resins of low viscosity, and react in the presence of water to become solid foam. In their final forms, the foams exist as open- or closed-cell, and vary in strength, elasticity, and rigidity. Water swelling material is also disclosed wherein the water swelling material is capable of achieving expansion numerous (e.g., up to about 250) times its initial volume when in contact with water and can shrink back to its initial volume upon dehydration, making the UDSs reusable. A mechanical pump may optionally be used to assist in initial inflation until the water swelling material reaches full expansion. |

| ABSTRACT | The capillary transfer technology presented here represents a powerful approach to transfer soft films from surface of liquid onto a solid substrate in a fast and defect-free manner. The fundamental theoretical model and transfer criteria validated with comprehensive experiments and finite element analyses, for the first time provides a quantitative guide and optimization for the choice of material systems, operating conditions and environments for scalable on-demand transfers with high yield. The intrinsically moderate capillary transfer force and externally selectable transfer direction offer robust capabilities for achieving deterministic assembly and surface properties of structures with complex layouts and patterns for potentially broad applications in the fabrication of flexible/stretchable electronics, surface wetting structures and optical devices. Integration of this technology with other advanced manufacturing technologies associated with material self-assembly, growth and layout alignment represents promising future topics and would help create emerging new manufacturing technologies that leverage unique fluidity of liquid environments. |

| ABSTRACT | Underwater Deployable Structures (UDSs) capable of achieving inflation via mechanical pumps, moisture-activated expanding foams, water swelling material, or a hybrid of a mechanical pump and water swelling material. Moisture expanding foams begin as polyurethane-based resins of low viscosity, and react in the presence of water to become solid foam. In their final forms, the foams exist as open- or closed-cell, and vary in strength, elasticity, and rigidity. Water swelling material is also disclosed wherein the water swelling material is capable of achieving expansion numerous (e.g., up to about 250) times its initial volume when in contact with water and can shrink back to its initial volume upon dehydration, making the UDSs reusable. A mechanical pump may optionally be used to assist in initial inflation until the water swelling material reaches full expansion. |

| ABSTRACT | A morphing airfoil includes a dynamic flexible skin system that is capable of carrying high level aerodynamic (or fluid) pressure loads over a structural surface. The structural surface can morph and bend in response to control inputs to change a lift force without separate movable control surfaces. A plurality of standoff mounts are attached to an inner surface of anisotropic skin. The standoff mounts include through apertures for receiving a flexible stringer. The anisotropic skin is attached to underlying structure through the flexible stringers. The flexible stringers interface with actuated position control ribs and passive compliant support ribs. A control system causes the underlying support structure to move to a desired location which in turn causes the skin to bend and/or flex without exceeding a stress threshold and thus vary the lift and drag distributions along a span of the airfoil without separate control surfaces. |

| ABSTRACT | Various examples for multi-tone continuous wave detection and ranging are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an initial signal is generated using initial radio frequency (RF) tones, and is emitted as a multi-tone continuous wave signal. The initial signal is reflected from a target and received as a reflected signal. Resultant RF tones, including a frequency, a phase and a power, are determined from the reflected signal in a frequency domain. A frequency-domain sinusoidal wave is fitted to the resultant RF tones in the frequency domain, and a distance to the target is determined using a modulation of the frequency-domain sinusoidal wave. A phase processing algorithm is applied to generate the target distance and speed by triangulating the range information encoded in the backscattered RF tones. |

| ABSTRACT | An arrangement and method for detecting number splitting attacks in quantum key distribution systems is disclosed. According to the method, a receiver may detect the presence of an eavesdropper on a transmission channel by detecting an increase in the percent difference between the photon transmission rates of two signals of different wavelengths. The receiver may directly measure a percent difference in photon receive rates as between the two signals, and compare the measured difference with an expected difference. The expected difference may be known, or may be measured by the receiver on the basis of historical data. The expected difference may be computed from the percent difference between the means of the Poisson distributions of the transmitter's laser sources, which may be determined a priori and communicated to the transmitter. |

| ABSTRACT | A method is provided for making a ceramic lithium ion conducting membrane and for making an anode pouch for a lithium-seawater battery. The method for making the ceramic membrane includes adding pore formers into a liquid slurry of LTAP (Li2O—Al2O3—SiO2—P2O5—TiO2) powder. The liquid slurry is converted into porous green tape and the porous green tape is laminated onto the top of nonporous green tapes to form a stack. The stack is sintered and the pore formers are decomposed to create pores in the top layer of the ceramic membrane. The porous ceramic membrane is used to create a more robust hermetic seal in an anode pouch for the battery compared to a seal made with a nonporous ceramic membrane. |

| ABSTRACT | DLOS and reflected signal components of an RF carrier signal are received. The reflected component is reflected from a point on the surface of the earth. The DLOS and reflected components are converted to digital DLOS IF and reflected IF signals, respectively. Modeled parameters are generated using the digital DLOS IF signal and locations of one or more antennas, the transmitter, and the point. A reference signal is generated based on the modeled parameters. The reference signal is correlated with the digital reflected IF signal to produce in-phase and quadrature-phase correlation results. A C/N0 and an estimated phase (EP) are calculated for the digital reflected IF signal from the correlation results. A KF is applied to the EP to produce an estimated filter phase (EFP). The KF is adapted to filter the EP using the estimated C/N0 to reduce cycle slips and noise in the EFP. |

| ABSTRACT | The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for performing large area laser powder bed fusion (LBPF) to form a plurality of layers of a 3D part in a layer-by-layer fashion using meltable powder particles. In one implementation the system makes use of a first light source, which may be a diode laser subsystem, for generating a first light pulse of a first duration. The first light is used to preheat a substrate underneath a new layer of powder particles, wherein the substrate is formed from a previously fused quantity of the powder particles. A second light source, which may be a pulse laser, generates a second light pulse subsequent to the first light pulse. The second light pulse has a second duration shorter than the first duration by a factor of at least about 10, and fully melts the new layer of powder particles in addition to the substrate, to achieve a smooth printed layer. The wavelength of the first light pulse also differs from a wavelength of the second light pulse. |

| ABSTRACT | Network constraint energy management system for electric vehicle (EV) depot charging and scheduling. In an embodiment, a power schedule is received from an economic dispatch application for a charging depot comprising EV charging station(s) and distributed energy resource(s). The power schedule may be simulated on a distribution network model of the charging depot, according to load flow analysis, to determine whether any grid-code violations occur. In response to the detection of violation(s), a constraint may be generated for each violating node, and the economic dispatch application may be re-executed with the constraint(s) to produce a new power schedule, until no violations are detected. When not all load demand can be satisfied by the power schedule, a charging schedule may be adjusted to ensure that critical energy requirements are satisfied. The final power and charging schedules may be used to schedule and control power generation and charging in the charging depot. |

| ABSTRACT | Systems and methods disclosed herein relate to a cryogenic refrigeration system which may use a compression based cryocooler or liquid nitrogen pre-cool to cool a medium to ˜80K, and may in conjunction with a magnetic refrigeration system operating in the sub-80K temperature regime to provide cooling to a medium to temperatures below 80K. In some embodiments, the disclosed system may be useful for cooling on the order of about 3 kg/day to about 300 kg/day of hydrogen gas to liquid form, with higher efficiency than a standard vapor compression based system. This higher efficiency may make the system a more attractive candidate for use in cryogenic cooling applications. |

| ABSTRACT | A direct converter for an axisymmetric mirror confinement system provides a set of radially symmetric vanes charged to capture ions escaping along the axis of the confinement system and to convert their energy to electrical power. An electron trap positioned before the charged vanes uses a magnetic field to divert and collect electrons, separating them from the ions, and may support a radial electric field providing plasma control. The charged vanes may be constructed of or have a coating of a getter material absorbing neutrals derived from those ions after capture. |

| ABSTRACT | An anti-phase rotor system for an aircraft may include at least one rotor with at least two rotor blades. The aerodynamic profile of these two blades may be selected to create counteracting blade vortices to break up harmonic reinforcement due to the rotor blade passage. The aerodynamic profile may create a non-planar motion of one or more rotor blade passages, whereby the individual rotor blades are not co-planar during the rotation of said rotor. The rotor system may include a duct, which may include stationary vanes or struts configured in a manner so as to break up harmonic excitation to the rotor. The interior area of the duct at the area of the blade rotation may be designed in a manner so as to create a destructive rotor blade tip vortex interference. |

| ABSTRACT | Various examples for multi-tone continuous wave detection and ranging are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an initial signal is generated using initial radio frequency (RF) tones, and is emitted as a multi-tone continuous wave signal. The initial signal is reflected from a target and received as a reflected signal. Resultant RF tones, including a frequency, a phase and a power, are determined from the reflected signal in a frequency domain. A frequency-domain sinusoidal wave is fitted to the resultant RF tones in the frequency domain, and a distance to the target is determined using a modulation of the frequency-domain sinusoidal wave. A phase processing algorithm is applied to generate the target distance and speed by triangulating the range information encoded in the backscattered RF tones. |

| ABSTRACT | A reversible superconducting circuit includes two Josephson transmission lines. Inductors connect Josephson Junctions in the array. Each transmission line passes a fluxon along the Junctions. The circuit includes an interface with first and second shunt capacitors coupled to the first and second transmission lines, and a third shunt capacitor, forming a connecting circuit with the first and second shunt capacitors. The shunt capacitors include Josephson junctions in parallel. The connecting circuit receives an input fluxon and transmits an output fluxon. The circuit also includes a Josephson Junction and inductor in parallel with the third shunt capacitor, forming a storage circuit. The storage circuit stores a SFQ. The output fluxon has polarity based on the SFQ stored when the first fluxon is received. The input fluxon causes the polarity of the stored SFQ to be the same as the polarity of the input fluxon, immediately after the input fluxon is received. |

| ABSTRACT | A computer system traces an original electronic design automation (EDA) implementation process for electronic hardware designs. The original EDA implementation process includes multiple subprocesses to convert a hardware model to a physically-realized electronic circuit. The system inputs a cryptographic key and design information that includes the hardware model, constraints, properties, implementation settings, and other directives for directing the conversion. The cryptographic key and design information are processed to generate a sequence of instructions to execute and provide traceability of each subprocess. For each subprocess, the system gathers intermediate design state and implementation settings resulting from or influencing execution of the subprocess; combines the intermediate design state and implementation settings into a data string and determines a cryptographic hash value for the data string; digitally signs the cryptographic hash value using a digital signature certificate derived from the cryptographic key to generate a signed hash; stores the signed hash and identifiers associated with data files used for determining the cryptographic hash value to an electronic ledger to generate an updated electronic ledger; authenticates the signed hash from the electronic ledger to generate an authenticated signed hash; reconstructs a hash from the data files stored in the electronic ledger to generate a reconstructed hash; compares the authenticated signed hash with the reconstructed hash, and in response to a mismatch, generates an error signal. The steps are repeated for each subsequent subprocess, and the traced EDA implementation process results are stored in memory. |

| ABSTRACT | A system and method for disconnection tolerant network routing, termed Binary State Distance Vector Routing (BSDVR). BSDVR provides for unicast routing on partitioned networks by introducing binary state information for distance vector (DV) entries to compute unicast paths. In the presence of network partitions, BSDVR effectively avoids the count-to-infinity problem and operates with control overhead less than traditional DV routing by an order of magnitude, leading to much better convergence times for failures. |

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.
