Publication number: 20240076712Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for simple, instrument-free and sensitive methods that enable rapid, point-of-care detection of nucleic acid molecules of interest. This is based on a surprising discovery that the relative efficiencies of amplification and CRISPR-based cleavage and detection can be tuned to favor amplification until sufficient amplified products are generated to enable detection. Example approaches include design of guide RNA and primers to target nonoptimal PAM sequences, or sequence-engineering Cas nucleases to reduce activities informing a ribonucleoprotein with the guide RNA or binding to or cleaving the substrate nucleic acid.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Hao Yin, Shuhan Lu, Ying Zhang, Xiaohan Tong, Kun Zhang, Xi Zhou, Dingyu Zhang

Patent number: 11315363Abstract: Gait, the walking pattern of individuals, is one of the most important biometrics modalities. Most of the existing gait recognition methods take silhouettes or articulated body models as the gait features. These methods suffer from degraded recognition performance when handling confounding variables, such as clothing, carrying and view angle. To remedy this issue, a novel AutoEncoder framework is presented to explicitly disentangle pose and appearance features from RGB imagery and a long short-term memory integration of pose features over time produces the gait feature.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignees: Board of Trustees of Michigan State University, Ford Global Technologies LLCInventors: Xiaoming Liu, Jian Wan, Kwaku Prakah-Asante, Mike Blommer, Ziyuan Zhang, Luan Tran, Xi Yin, Yousef Atoum
