A Vector-Based Structural Safety Measure
Building collapse is a common phenomenon associated with multiple disasters, including those caused by natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides, as well as technological hazards such as sub-standard construction and maintenance practices. Over the past 50 years, there have been 181 building collapse disasters in 51 nations,...

A New Risk Management Tool for Medical Imaging Software
Deep neural networks (DNNs) help radiologists locate, characterize, and segment tumors. These software tools augment imagery in regions that are otherwise obscured by signal noise or streaks. DNNs reduce imaging session times and thereby reduce radiation exposure. On the other hand, “black box” DNNs defy clinical scrutiny, make patient consultations...

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...
