  • Publication number: 20200157625
    Abstract: This application provides methods to differentiate between subjects with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) or developmentally delayed (DD) subjects using miRNA and/or microbiome levels detected in saliva samples and patient information. The method can be used to monitor the progress of ASD and guide its treatment. RNA-seq, qPCR, or other methods determine counts and abundance of miRNA or microbiomes. MicroRNA and/or microbiome sequencing data are refined by normalization to expression levels or abundance of time-invariant miRNAs and/or microbial RN As to control for time of sample collection or to compensate for circadian fluctuations in these levels. Multivariate logistic regression and nonlinear classification techniques are further used to select a panel of miRNAs and microbiomes that accurately differentiate between subjects with ASD, DD, and TD in subjects with an unknown ASD status. These panels of miRNAs and microbiomes may be developed into a RNA assay kit.

  • Publication number: 20200160110
    Abstract: The present invention integrates a low power and high compression pixel-wise coded exposure (PCE) camera with advanced object detection, tracking, and classification algorithms into a real-time system. A PCE camera can control exposure time of every pixel in the camera and at the same time can compress multiple frames into a compressed frame. Consequently, it can significantly improve the dynamic range as well as reduce data storage and transmission bandwidth usage. Conventional approaches utilize PCE camera for object detection, tracking and classification, require the compressed frames to be reconstructed. These approaches are extremely time consuming and hence makes the PCE cameras unsuitable for real-time applications. The present invention presents an integrated solution that incorporates advanced algorithms into the PCE camera, saving reconstruction time and making it feasible to work in real-time applications.
