Connectome-Inspired Adversarial Robustness in Deep Neural Networks
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are artificial neural networks (ANN) and a key component of artificial intelligence (AI) applications. They are designed to function similarly to the human brain and trained using large labeled data sets. There is a plethora of applications for DNNs, including but not limited to driverless cars, security, facial/voice recognition,...

Vehicle safety device for active train crossing detection
and driver notification
Most level railroad crossings in the United States do not have active safety mechanisms such as gates, warning bells, or flashing lights to warn drivers of active train crossings. Furthermore, distractions and poor visibility can inhibit awareness of an approaching train. This makes level railroad crossings particularly dangerous and results in hundreds...

Wireless Wearable fNIR Sensor
Since the initial discovery in 1977 that brain tissue transparency to NIR (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) light allowed a non-invasive and continuous method of measuring tissue oxygen saturation using transillumination in neonates, a number of applications to non-invasively measure blood oxygenation in muscle and the circulatory system have been developed....

Portable and inexpensive smart ring that measures
body composition over time.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method of measuring body fatb in relation to lean body mass. BIA determines the bioelectrical impedance, or opposition to the flow of an electric current through body tissues which can then be used to estimate body fat based on total body water and fat-free mass. During BIA, a very low-level electrical current...
