The effort expands training diversity and introduces eFold, an AlphaFold-inspired architecture adapted to RNA. By mixing probing-backed structures and synthetic constructs, the model reduces overfitting to short/simple motifs and improves long/complex sequence performance.

DMS-MaPseq is a chemical probing method where dimethyl sulfate modifies flexible A and C bases. During reverse transcription, these modifications cause characteristic mutations, so sequencing yields per-nucleotide reactivity that reports local structure. RNAs often adopt multiple conformations at the same time, so different reads reflect different folds. Clustering reads by shared mutation patterns separates co-existing structures into ensembles instead of averaging them, which makes downstream modeling more accurate. SEISMIC computes these reactivities and performs clustering at scale.

A React/Python app for uploading reactivities, aligning sequences, and exploring tracks with arcs and base-pair overlays. Compatible with SHAPEmapper and SEISMIC outputs; ships as a Python package or hosted demo.

An 80-cm hyper-redundant arm instrumented with IMUs along its body. Orientation chains fuse gyro/accel with a geometric prior to reconstruct shape, reaching >90% accuracy at low cost and minimal calibration.

A rigid panels + flexible hinges mechanism with hidden DOFs. A data-driven model maps actuator states to pose for control without deriving full analytical kinematics on the multilink structure.

A pen with a tuned mass/suspension that attenuates high-frequency hand tremors while passing intentional low-frequency motion, improving handwriting legibility. Built via iterative FEM-guided design and patient tests. Pitch · Press

A machined aluminum/steel utility knife with a spring-latched rotating bar that locks the blade open/closed. Depressing the spring disengages the latch to re-position the blade; locks snap in at end stops.

An IoT device with LEDs and a custom PCB connects to a webapp and Android app. A simple architecture syncs schedules and timing, giving the host real-time cues to keep meetings on track. Project

A wall mirror with embedded camera and UI widgets captures daily frames and plays a fast-forward of appearance changes, alongside health metrics and goals.

The system encodes a user word into a black-white map used as seed/control for a diffusion model via ControlNet, steering images to subtly contain the text. Prompt reformulations generate frames stitched into a GIF.

A scoring engine tailored per client with domain-specific question sets, call emotion analysis, and flexible weighting. Built for smaller centers to get actionable QA without heavy integration.
