RNA Gene Sequencing Tool

ExonHit Therapeutics, Inc., a world-leading company in the field of alternative RNA splicing, hired Art & Logic to extend the capabilities of their in-house gene profiling tool. Originally developed as an Excel spreadsheet, the tool had reached the performance and data limits of the technology. Art & Logic developed a VB.NET application, using an MSDE backend, to replace and enhance the functionality of ExonHit's tool. It was ExonHit's desire to continue long term maintenance of the new tool, so Art & Logic included extensive commenting and documentation to provide ExonHit's in-house developers with the information needed to maintain and enhance the application without further assistance from Art & Logic. more...

WiMAX Tutorial Software

When a major microprocessor manufacturer needed an application to play their tutorial video to new WiMAX users, they came to Art & Logic. As the content would be flexible, covering numerous languages, markets, and product versions, they needed a system that could be skinned and configured easily by OEMs. Art & Logic co-designed and then created custom player software, along with a comprehensive configuration system, a Google gadget, Vista gadget, and internationalized installers, all of which ended up being shipped on many thousands of laptops.

A Simple App Solves A Big Problem

Researchers who present posters at scientific or medical symposia often have to create hundreds of scaled-down, hard-to-read printouts of their poster for handing out at the session. Dark Scorpion's Poster Commander is a less expensive and "green" alternative to poster handouts, and allows a researcher to transmit, using the iPhone's Bluetooth capability, an electronic file (PDF) of the poster from his or her iPhone to the iPhones of attendees who also have this app. Through the "Statistics" screen, poster presenters can keep track of how many times each poster is downloaded and, if selected, the contact information of the person who downloaded the application.
