Electroquasistatic sensors for surface and subsurface nano-imaging of integrated circuit features
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
The following thesis relates to the design, simulation, and testing of electroquasistatic (EQS) sensors to be used for feature/defect location and imaging. The aim of this thesis is to launch an investigation into the use ...
Low-voltage spatial-phase-locked scanning-electron-beam lithography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Spatial-phase-locked electron-beam lithography (SPLEBL) is a method that tracks and corrects the position of an electron-beam in real-time by using a reference grid placed above the electron-beam resist. In this thesis, ...
Rapid single-cell electroporation for labeling organotypic cultures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Single-cell electroporation is a technique for transfecting individual cells in tissue culture at relatively high efficiencies, however it is both time-consuming and low-throughput and this limits the number of different ...
Performance and energy efficiency in simple simultaneous multithreading processor cores
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Simultaneous multithreading, where instructions from different threads share processor resources, has shown promise in delivering high throughput with little area and power overhead. We compare where in the performance ...
SIFT feature extraction on a Smartphone GPU using OpenGL ES2.0
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
SIFT describes local features in image used for object recognition in a vast array of application, such as augmented reality, panorama stitching. These applications are becoming very popular on Smartphones but also require ...
Simulation and verification of autonomous route planning behavior
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
This thesis presents a new dynamic traffic simulator called DUST, used to investigate new foundational theory for autonomously reconfigurable cyber-physical systems in the presence of unexpected disruptions. We focus on ...
Virtual city testbed
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Traffic simulation is an important aspect of understanding how people move throughout various road systems. It can provide insight into the design of city streets and how well they can handle certain traffic patterns. There ...
A framework for automated heart and lung sound analysis using a mobile telemedicine platform
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Many resource-poor communities across the globe lack access to quality healthcare,due to shortages in medical expertise and poor availability of medical diagnostic devices. In recent years, mobile phones have become ...
Data collection and graph generation using touchscreen technology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
This thesis describes the design and implementation of the TouchGraph system, whose goal is to help students develop graphing skills by allowing them to record their own data and access the data of their classmates using ...
ScratchStats : a site for visualizing and understanding scratch usage data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
This thesis introduces ScratchStats, an extension to the Scratch website where users can view and understand Scratch usage data through a series of interactive visualizations. Scratch is a visual programming language that ...
