Design and Analysis of Nonthermal Plasma Electrolytic Cells for Ammonia Synthesis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
Haber-Bosch production of ammonia, a fertilizer and energy-dense alternative fuel, accounts for 1.8 % of global fossil fuel demand and 1-2 % of global CO2 emissions. Nonthermal plasma-assisted ammonia synthesis is one ...
High Throughput, Multiplex Quantification via Nucleic Acid Chemical Reaction Network Perturbation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
High throughput, multiplexed quantification has the potential to transform molecular diagnostics. For example, proteomic analysis could be a powerful medical tool to assess a patient's current state of health. However, ...
Classification on real-time videos of galvanized steel surface defect using support vector machines and convolutional neural network, based on data created by generative adversarial networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
With the current surge of Industry 4.0 in high-end technology industries, enabling complete digitalization and machine-to-machine interaction, and with the vulgarization of its techniques, commodity-based industries are ...
Multidisciplinary design optimization of part geometry in CAD
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) is the process of searching for designs which best satisfy a set of objectives, while respecting that the appropriateness of a design is dependent on more than just a single ...
Multi-classification and object detection in intelligent manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Defect detection in industries is typically conducted manually. While there are state-of-the-art machine vision techniques for automated inspection systems, there is still a gap between research advancement and practical ...
Single-component Li₂O solid electrolyte interphase on lithium : probing transport properties in battery environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Lithium (Li) anodes suffer numerous challenges arising from the chemically inhomogeneous nature of the native solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which impedes smooth Li plating and leads to dendrite growth. In spite of ...
Numerical simulation of heavy oil droplets mixing in supercritical water at conditions relevant to supercritical water heavy oil upgrading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Supercritical water (SCW) crude oil upgrading is a promising technology for upgrading and desulfurization of heavy crude oil and residues. The outcome of this process is determined by an interplay of hydrocarbon cracking ...
Reduced Order Modeling for Stochastic Prediction and Data Assimilation Onboard Autonomous Platforms At Sea
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)
There are many significant challenges for unmanned autonomous platforms at sea including predicting the likely scenarios for the ocean environment, quantifying regional uncertainties, and updating forecasts of the evolving ...
Using Biomimetics to Improve the Maneuvering Performance of the Expendable Mobile Antisubmarine Warfare Training Target (EMATT)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)
Using Biomimetics to improve the maneuverability of torpedo shaped Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) is a continued topic of study that is rapidly evolving to increase the agility of these vehicles. MIT Sea Grant continues ...
Deformable Object Manipulation with a Tactile Reactive Gripper
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-09)
Deformable objects like cloth and cables are challenging for robots to manipulate due to their high-dimensionality and unpredictable dynamics. In previous work, Yu et. al (2019) [45] used a tactile sensor to estimate the ...
