A pipeline combining classical statistics and machine learning algorithms is used to identify disease-associated biomarkers and predict disease risk
Invention Summary:
Gene Expression Analysis and Genome‐wide association studies provide an unprecedented understanding of the genetic basis of human disease by uncovering millions of loci associated with various complex disease phenotypes. However, these are unable to completely map biomarkers and predict disease with high accuracy. The key limitation is our lack of technology to analyze the complete genome or transcriptome of patients to identify all the genetic components of complex traits.
To address this, researchers at Rutgers University have developed a software pipeline to help predict diseases in individuals by combining conventional statistical methods with cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to measure the significance of genomic biomarkers. The pipeline can intake data including patient demographics, genomic and transcriptomic data to produce personalized patient predictions and visual representations of the biomarkers significant to disease prediction.

Acousto-Optical Sensors for MRI Safety Evaluation
Implants can cause hot spots and burns during MRI scans Patients undergoing MRI scans sometimes … moreImplants can cause hot spots and burns during MRI scans Patients undergoing MRI scans sometimes experience hot spots and burns, mostly due to external or implanted metallic objects such as pacemakers or orthopedic implants. This is caused by radio frequency (RF)-induced heating as the current distribution over the patient’s body can cause the temperature to rise. This cannot be avoided because MR systems work by imaging phantoms to determine specific absorption rates (SAR) or temperature rise in the patient. Therefore, there is a need for a small sensor that can provide information about the local RF field during imaging procedures. Furthermore, all medical implants need to be evaluated for SAR impact during the development phase. less

Nanocomposite Film for Volatile Organic Compound Sensing
Traditional gas sensors can be complicated and often unresponsiveGas sensors play a critical role in … moreTraditional gas sensors can be complicated and often unresponsiveGas sensors play a critical role in everyday life by detecting specific gases in the environment for diverse applications, including industrial safety and exposure monitoring. Portable and cheap gas sensors can be used to provide real-time monitoring of targeted gases, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Chemoresistors are a type of VOC sensor that works by changing their electrical resistance in the presence of the VOC. These chemoresistors are small, cheap, and easy to use, making them ideal for fieldwork. less

mmWave Reconfigurable and Miniature On-Chip Filter Based on Vanadium Dioxide
Current on-chip filters are too big and non scalable Developed for applications exceeding 30 GHz … moreCurrent on-chip filters are too big and non scalable Developed for applications exceeding 30 GHz, this "combline" electromagnetic filter technology leverages the phase-change properties of Vanadium Dioxide (VO2) to adjust its passband frequency range dynamically. Heating VO2 creates a high-performance ground connection, reducing the electrical length of coupled transmission lines and thus shifting the passband to a higher frequency. less

Taskr: Fast and Easy Mobilization of Spot Tasks in Web-based Enterprise Applications
Spot tasks are limited by complex needs to render features The usage of smartphones and … moreSpot tasks are limited by complex needs to render features The usage of smartphones and mobile devices has continuously grown over the last decade, and with about 51% of enterprise workers using mandated apps on their phones for business-related purposes, this has led to an increase in opportunities where spot tasks have become applicable. The enabling of spot tasks can often be limited by the constraint of needing to render all features of original applications onto a small screen and the need for complex image recognition or user-defined UI subset for smartphone rendering. less

A lattice reduction is a mathematical technique that involves transforming a discrete set of points in space (the lattice) to simplify its structure without sacrificing properties. Both are used in many fields, including communications systems, machine learning, and speech and language processing. Less complex and more efficient versions of these algorithms are constantly being researched because hardware limitations make real-time application difficult. less
