First pass yield analysis and improvement at a low volume, high mix semiconductor equipment manufacturing facility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
"Improve quality, you automatically improve productivity " - W. Edwards Deming Quality is the heart and soul of any manufacturing unit. Quality metric stagnation at a high mix semiconductor equipment manufacturing facility ...
Acoustic source localization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Many technologies rely on underwater acoustics. Most of these applications are able to denoise Gaussian noise from the surrounding, but have trouble removing impulse like noises. One source of impulse-like noise is the ...
Modeling low-pressure nanofiltration membranes and hollow fiber modules for softening and pretreatment in seawater reverse osmosis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Recently, interest in nanofiltration (NF) has been surging, as has interest using it as a technology for better brine management and pretreatment in reverse osmosis (RO) plants. Using NF for pretreatment reduces fouling ...
Environmental sustainability assessment tool for factories
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
General interest and international regulations have begun to create a world in which consumers demand to know how their products are made and companies must provide that transparency. With over 15,000 suppliers, Li & Fung ...
Real-time quadruped gait controller for rough terrain locomotion
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
In disaster situations, humanoid robots offer many advantages as first responders, but must often navigate rough and unstable terrain. The high center of mass and small support polygon of humanoids creates a difficult ...
Virtual pooling approximation using longest path network optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Abstract This thesis proposes a network swapping mechanism to approximate a virtual finished goods inventory pool under the constraint of fragmented commercial channel ownership. Globally, Caterpillar sells its product ...
Measurements and dynamics of multiple scale bedforms in tidally energetic environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The presence of superimposed bedforms, where smaller bedforms exist on larger bedforms, is ubiquitous to energetic tidal environments. Due to their wide range in scale, it is difficult to simultaneously observe these ...
The role of vessel collapse on the flow of aqueous humor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981)
Epitaxial SiGe synapses for neuromorphic arrays
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Intelligent machines could help to facilitate language translation, maximize attentive learning, and optimize medical care. However, hardware to train and deploy Al systems are power-hungry and too slow for many applications. ...
An oxygen-controlled in vitro model of the gastrointestinal human-microbiome interface
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The gastrointestinal system plays a vital role in the functioning of the human body, processing food into useable energy, controlling homeostasis, and serving as the front line of the immune system. The intestines are aided ...
