An agricultural mobile robot guided by sonar and vision for crops and yield estimation
Using bio-inspired sensing methods (from bats) for crop estimation, plant examination and plant classification. The system is based on a mobile robotic platform with vision and sonar sensing that is doing the agricultural tests.The NeedAn agricultural manager‘s success depends on his ability to estimate accurately the status of the crops. Although it is assumed that […] Read More >
Computational Platform for Enhancing Gene Expression for Increased Protein Yield and Viral Titer
Technology Deciphering Gene Expression Code – We perform large-scale analyses of genomic data to discern the rules behind the various aspects of gene expression encoded in the transcript. Computational Modeling of Gene Expression – We develop predictive computational models to mathematically analyze and simulate the different stages of gene expression, focusing on gene translation. Engineering […] Read More >
Biodegradable, Multifunctional, Jellyfish Based Bioplastics
Plastic pollution has become the most pressing environmental issue, and biodegradable solutions are a promising alternative. Unfortunately, most plastic alternatives are difficult to upscale and require the cultivation of the process substrate. Due to climate change, overfishing, and habitat modifications Jellyfish (JF) blooms are prevalent, resulting in the harm of electrical powerhouse, industrial cooling systems, […] Read More >
Novel Class of Turn-ON Near-Infrared Probes for Diagnosis and Imaging of Inflammation and Cancer
Complete tumor removal during surgery has a great impact on patient survival. To that end, the surgeon should detect the tumor, remove it and validate that there are no residual cancer cells left behind. Residual cells at the incision margin of the tissue removed during surgery are associated with tumor recurrence and poor prognosis for […] Read More >
Direction of Arrival Deception Using Metasurfaces
The invention of radars was soon followed by extensive research and development of counter measures, the most well-known being the invention of stealth technology. By employing special geometric designs and carefully selected materials, a reduction of the target’s radar cross section and the resulting backscattered energy was successfully achieved, substantially reducing distances between the radar […] Read More >
Molecular Classification of Inflammation and Uses for Personalized Therapy
Our work is focused on decoupling between four inflammatory molecular states: i. Disease tolerance activity. Maintenance of health in the presence of stress, injury, infection. Healing through tissue repair and renewal mechanisms. ii. Antimicrobial activity. Detects, neutralizes, and eliminates the invading pathogen (“resistance”). iii. Metabolic status. Reflects the abnormal cardiometabolic status related to hypertension, diabetes […] Read More >
Hardware Accelerators for Data Structures
We developed the first parallel architecture for a dynamic data-structure for approximate membership (i.e., a Bloom filter that also supports deletions). UNMET NEED The filter architecture supports multiple operations per cycle while preserving sequential order with a fixed and stable throughput that does not depend on the type of operations, the workload, or how populated […] Read More >
Using Eye-Tracking During Sentence Reading to Identify Subject Tendency to Depression
Depression is a common and disabling mental health disorder, which impacts hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Current diagnosis methods rely almost solely on self-report and are prone to subjectivity and biases. In recent years, computational psychiatry has employed advanced sensing technology, utilizing rich data, in order to train accurate algorithms to detect depression from […] Read More >
Methods of Treating Diseases Associated with Polyalanine Expansion Mutations
The invention describes the inhibition of ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme 6 (UBA6) by disease-causing polyalanine expanded mutant proteins in a variety of cell types. Polyalanine-expanded proteins can interact with UBA6 and inhibit UBA6-mediated protein degradation of downstream targets, such as the neurodevelopmental E3-ubiquitin ligase E6-AP. Ectopic administration of vectors expressing UBA6 in patient cells […] Read More >
Tomato Plants with Broad-Spectrum Pathogen Resistance
Plants rely on innate immunity to perceive and ward off microbes and pests, and are able to overcome many invading microorganisms. Even so, pathogens overcome plant defenses, posing a persistent threat to crop and food security worldwide, raising the need for agricultural products with broad, efficient resistance. The combined goal of several projects in our […] Read More >
