Completion of hinge loss has an implicit bias
A new loss function is proposed which learns the hinge loss function an infinite number of times pushing $f(x_i)y_i \to \infty$. It is proven that for a linear model on linearly separable data this modified hinge loss function converges in the direction of the $\ell_2$ max-margin separator at a …

Origami transformers : folding orthogonal structures from universal hinge patterns
… to origami design using simple universal hinge patterns where the crease patterns for different shapes are just different subsets of a common hinge pattern. Several algorithms have previously been developed to design folded states for particular shapes, but they require a different crease …

Drag hinge : "reading" the scales between architecture and urbanism
Ballroom is a queer subculture that emerged out of drag performance(s) and is largely comprised of queer people of color (QPOCs) in New York City during the early 1970s. In ballroom, contestants "walk" categories that emulate archetypal traits of another gender, sex, or social class, or battle …

Modeling and Control of a Multibody Hinge-BargeWave Energy Converter
… WEC considered in this thesis is a three-body hinge-barge WEC, which is an articulated floating structure composed of 3 rectangular bodies interconnected by hinges, and it operates longitudinally to the direction to the incoming wave. The relative motion between each pair of bodies drives a …

Development of the low damage self-centering Sliding Hinge Joint
The Sliding Hinge Joint (SHJ) is a low damage beam-column connection that rotates inelastically with minimal damage through sliding in Asymmetric Friction Connections (AFCs). The AFC is a type of slotted bolted connection, which is installed in the bottom web and bottom flange bolt groups. Previous …

Enhancement of the Sliding Hinge Joint Connection with Belleville Springs
The Sliding Hinge Joint (SHJ) was conceived and initially developed by Charles Clifton from 1998 to 2005 and is now in use in over NZD 4 billion of new buildings. It is a low damage semi-rigid beam to column connection for MRSF seismic-resisting systems, that is intended to be rigid under …

Analytical Development of A Plastic Hinge Detail for Steel SMFs
A modular plastic hinge seismic special detail has been developed for use in steel special moment frames (SMFs). The aim of the special detail design is to dissipate seismic energy through stable yielding of a beam "link" in plastic hinge region. Reliable and repeatable energy dissipation at high …

Regulation of the Heterochromatin Protein 1 by Phosphorylation of Histone H3 and the HP1 Hinge Domain
… (α, β, γ), most of which map to the HP1 "hinge region" and are specifically phosphorylated in mitosis. For one highly conserved site, HP1α serine 92 phosphorylation, I identify Aurora B as the responsible kinase in vivo. In vitro data suggest that mitotic phosphorylation of the HP1α hinge …

Engineering novel antibody-based molecules to probe the role of the immunoglobulin hinge and generate a potential cancer vaccine
In different immunoglobulin (Ig) isotypes, the hinge region, which separates the antigen-binding Fab region from the Fc region, varies considerably in length. The hinge region is believed to provide flexibility for the Ig to conduct better positioning for antigen binding via the Fab arms or better …
