SynapDx Corp., a Lexington company currently developing diagnostics for the earlier detection of autism, said it has formed an alliance with Illumina Inc., a California company that specializes in life sciences tools. A goal of the alliance is to combine SynapDx’s proprietary autism technologies with Illumina’s sequencing platform to develop early detection tools for autism spectrum disorders. The Downtown Boston Business Improvement District is shuttering a pushcart program that has operated for more than three decades at the end of March -- a move that is angering many of the 26 vendors who have stuck through Downtown Crossing’s difficult transition.

Credit union members are slated to vote Monday on a proposal for HarborOne to become a mutual owned bank. The credit union board of directors ratified the plan last year Boston-based New Balance said it is now using 3D printing to customize high performance running shoes for athletes. In a press release, New Balance said it has “developed a proprietary process for utilizing a runner’s individual biomechanical data to create hyper-customized spike plates designed to improve performance. The process requires race-simulation biomechanical data which the New Balance Sports Research Lab collects using a force plate, in-shoe sensors, and a motion capture system. Advanced algorithms and software are then applied to translate this data into custom 3D printed spike designs.” A recent survey from Staples Inc. seems to have a suggestion for Marissa Mayer, the Yahoo CEO who wants to repeal the company’s policy on telecommuting: Keep letting employees work from home.

Vermont’s Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. said that it has reached an agreement that will allow it to offer Lipton Tea in single-serve packs for its Keurig and Vue brewing systems.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters made an agreement with Unilever North America, whose brand portfolio includes Lipton Tea, along with others such as Ben & Jerry’s, Good Humor, and Hellmann’s. | | |
