The Z axis and its composite matrix of perception
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Beliefs and ideas mingle with our perceptions of physical objects and spaces as the same cognitive material. Within a conceptual mental space, these perceptions constitute a composite matrix of perception. When we navigate ... -
Z-source circuit breakers in naval power systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)New power system components and control systems are required to facilitate the U.S. Navy's move to medium voltage direct current power (MVDC) systems on future vessels. Integrating the z-source circuit breaker into a ... -
Zanzibar Pizza Hut: Stone Town’s Duckorated Sheds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Zanzibar Pizza Hut: Stone Town’s Duckorated Sheds examines three cultural artifacts produced in Zanzibar’s Stone Town— Christ Church at the Old Slave Market, the kanga cloth, and the Zanzibar Pizza. These artifacts, which ... -

Zero emission passenger vehicles in tyhhe [sic] United States, anticipating future automobile industry trends based on stakeholder interview analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)My personal interest in automobile evolution is the primary motivation for this thesis. My engineering education and a fifteen year career in professional automobile racing were also inspired by personal passion for ... -
A zero kernel operating system : rethinking microkernel design by leveraging tagged architectures and memory-safe languages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)A secure kernel is the keystone upon which all software systems are built. Historically, memory corruption errors have accounted for a large portion of kernel bugs. These bugs are difficult to detect and avoid in memory-unsafe ... -
The Zero Touch Experience : intent based contextual morphing on mobile devices using localized keyword distributions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)With the rise of smart phones integrated with GPS devices, we have seen the advent of location-based contextual services. "Contextual" in this sense, refers to a simple query of nearby points of interest based on the current ... -
A zero-crossing based pipelined analog-to-digital converter with supply voltage scalibility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)A zero-crossing based pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has been designed and is fabricated in a 65nm CMOS process. The highly digital implementation characteristic of the zero-crossing detection technique enables ... -
A zero-crossing switched-capacitor filter design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Design of switched capacitor circuits in scaled CMOS technologies is becoming difficult because of low device intrinsic gain and reduced power supply voltage. To solve these problems, comparator-based switched-capacitor ... -
Zero-error communication over adder MAC
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Adder MAC is a simple noiseless multiple-access channel (MAC), where if users send messages X₁, . . . ,X[subscript h] [epsilon] {0, 1}[superscript n], then the receiver receives Y = X₁ + · · · + X[subscript h] with addition ... -
Zero-shot learning to execute tasks with robots
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)This thesis explores multiple approaches for improving the state of the art in robotic planning with reinforcement learning. We are interested in designing a generalizable framework with several features, namely: allowing ... -
A zero-voltage switching technique for high frequency buck converter ICs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)This thesis explores a zero-voltage switching (ZVS) method that can be used to decrease the frequency dependent losses in a buck converter. The specific application for this thesis was a buck converter IC with an input ... -
ZeroN : mid-Air tangible interaction enabled by computer controlled magnetic levitation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis presents a concept of mid-air tangible interaction and a system called ZeroN that was developed to enable this interaction. Through this research, I extend the tabletop tangible interaction modalities which ...
