In their own words

We are solving the problem of catastrophic structural failure during very large earthquakes (Magnitude=7–8+) by replacing the way seismic energy is transmitted into buildings. Buildings are designed to resist forces, but conventional design strategies have two persistent shortcomings in very large earthquakes: 1)Design limits vs. real earthquakes. Typical steel and reinforced-concrete designs assume certain force and deformation demands. Large seismic events—particularly those with strong low-frequency energy—can produce ground motions and waveforms (S- and P-waves) that excite a building’s modes and push forces and deformations beyond what the structure or its connections can reliably survive. 2)Failure modes are catastrophic. When accelerations and inter-story drifts exceed capacity, failure can be sudden (collapse, column failure, pounding), causing high casualties and loss of critical infrastructure (hospitals, emergency centers).Even “code-compliant” buildings can be vulnerable if the input motion contains energy at frequencies the structure is sensitive to.
