T Talk : a local communication channel for subway riders
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The goal of T Talk, is to utilize the tens of minutes of subway waiting time everyday as an opportunity for reading and appreciation of the complexity and diversity of the city, and developing an awareness of and social ... -
T-junction resonant modulators and detectors in CMOS
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Design of optical modulators and detectors is investigated. A new design idea is proposed for optical modulators - T-junction. The T-junction allows to decouple the Extinction Ratio from the Bandwidth and to optimize each ... -
The T-Space Model : maximizing value and revenue of transit real estate assets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)We founded T-Space in response to the underutilization of transit stations and the opportunity it presents itself being a high volume, small footprint space with a strong network to residential neighborhoods and employment ... -
T2 Characterization of Oil-In-Water Emulsions for NMR Sensor Applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-02)Fluid status assessment is an essential aspect of healthcare with implications in chronic conditions such as renal disease and congestive heart failure. Current fluid status determination techniques lack quantitative methods ... -
Tabi. Tabbi. Tabique. Tabby.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)The uniqueness of tabby is based in its process of collecting local and accessible materials to produce concrete through a non-measured/estimated process. The origin of tabby as either the North African tabbi, or the ... -
TablaNet : a real-time online musical collaboration system for Indian percussion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Thanks to the Internet, musicians located in different countries can now aspire to play with each other almost as if they were in the same room. However, the time delays due to the inherent latency in computer networks (up ... -
Tacking against postmodernism : Gloucester's working port holds it course
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Gloucester, Massachusetts has long been regarded as the quintessential working port in the Northeast and the home of commercial fishing in America for several hundred years. Today, Gloucester's working port is threatened ... -
Tackling uncertainty in airport design : a real options approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The airport industry is changing. Once understood as stand-alone public infrastructures, many modern airports now operate within privatized multi-airport systems and contend with previously unknown competitive pressures. ... -
Tactical cities : negotiating violence in Karachi, Pakistan
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis examines the relationship between violence and urbanity. Using Karachi, Pakistan, as a case study, it asks how violent cities are imagined and experienced by their residents. The thesis draws on a variety of ... -

A tactical planning model for a semiconductor waver fabrication facility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
A tactical planning model for a serial flow manufacturing system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This project aims to improve the operation and planning of a specific type of manufacturing system, a serial flow line that entails a sequence of process stages. The objective is to investigate inventory policy, raw material ... -
Tactical planning optimization for campaign scheduling of active pharmaceutical ingredient production based on monoclonal antibodies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Monoclonal Antibodies (mAb's) are the fastest growing segment in the biopharmaceutical industry. They are used today as therapeutics and diagnostics for several medical applications, including various types of cancer, ... -
Tactical Shipping and Scheduling at Polaroid with Dual Lead-Times
(2002-01)We report on a project with Polaroid Corporation in which we developed a supply chain model to provide decision support for planning production and transportation. Production occurs in Asia to serve world-wide demand. ... -
Tactical urbanism, public policy reform, and 'innovation spotting' by government : from Park(ing) Day to San Francisco's parklet program
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This thesis examines the prospects and impacts of tactical urbanism (TU). While tactical urbanism remains primarily a subcultural movement, it is beginning to gain traction in popular culture in traditionally politically ... -
TactiForm : a touch sensitive actuated shape display as a dynamic interactive user interface for geospatial visual analytic systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Visual analytic systems that use real-time interactive interfaces enable effective problem solving and decision making by supporting intuitive data modelling, visualization, and analysis. In the oil and gas industry, these ... -
A tactile communication system for navigation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A vibrotactile display for use in navigation has been designed and evaluated. The arm and the torso, which offer relatively large and flat surface areas, were chosen as locations for the displays. The ability of subjects ... -
Tactile interface for three-dimensional computer-simulated environments : experimentation and the design of a brake-motor device
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988) -
Tactile measurement with a GelSight sensor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis introduces a method of measuring contact force with GelSight. GelSight is an optical-based tactile sensor that uses a piece of coated elastomer as the contact medium. A camera records the distortion of the ... -
Tactile perception of spatially distributed vibratory stimuli on the fingerpad
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Using a pin-array type tactile display as a stimulator of the finger pad, a psychophysical study was conducted on the vibrotactile perception. The passive touch with vibratory stimuli in the low frequency could be an ...
