SafetyPatch is a system to support aging in place, or help seniors live in their homes longer by monitoring them unobtrusively and sending data and alarms to home service providers and loved ones. It offers a full spectrum of vital signs, activity and motion, and location monitoring with various communication options. It also generates alarms using the NEWS2 protocol extended with fall detection to ensure that users are promptly treated. To be useful to Home Care Service providers, it is being certified as a medical device for international use.

The project's focus is to finalize hardware design and create a form factor that is market-ready, build a software platform to be used by the end user, integrated with cloud services and our machine learning and AI algorithms.

Hiring of a new candidate for the development of the robots computing and the development of the mechanical designs.

Provides Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) drive system design training for a recent mechanical engineering graduate.

Drastic Scholastic Thermoplastic (DST) is a waste management company that remanufactures plastic waste into consumer and industrial products via our semi-industrial shredder, decontamination, injection, and extrusion machines. DST differs from traditional recycling methods in that all plastic waste is kept local. DST executes a cradle-to-cradle strategy by providing a new raw material (decontaminated plastic pellets) that otherwise would go straight to landfill for other companies, plastic manufacturers, and extruders, creating a circular economy. DST differs from traditional recycling methods in that we vertically integrate plastic waste management at academic institutions, effectively diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans.

For pathogens such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that are spread through inhalation, the cells of the lung are the first line of defense for the host. A detailed understanding of the temporal and structural components of these interactions may be used to augment the host’s immune protection system. These components include the glycans and their receptors on both the host and the viral surface. It is anticipated that unravelling the interactions of the host’s glycans with viral receptors will allow for the development of practical diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. The SARS-CoV-2 virus utilizes its spike protein for attachment and internalization into host cells as a pivotal event required for viral replication. There is evidence that the first step of these events is the interaction of the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the spike protein with sialic acid-based receptors lining the respiratory tract. The aim of this Project is to identify key competitor glycans to the postulated SARS-CoV-2 virus glycan receptor that may also be useful for the development for both diagnostics and therapeutics.
