Design and manufacturing analysis of resonantly coupled circuits and other components used for applied wireless power transmission : application analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
This thesis describes the analysis of a locking mechanism designed by ProTeqt Technologies. More specifically, the analysis considers the mechanism after the implementation of a resonantly coupled circuit used to receive ...
Design and development of high precision five-axis positioning system for roll-to-roll multi-layer microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Microcontact printing is based on the use of elastomeric stamps to transfer ink onto a substrate taking advantage of the self-assembly process. Features as small as 300nm can be easily printed over an extended area. The ...
Design and development of high precision elastomeric-stamp wrapping system for roll-to-roll multi-layer microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Microcontact printing is an emerging printing technique that could potentially find application in the electronics industry. High-speed roll-to-roll equipment was built at Nano Terra, Inc in 2008, for microcontact printing. ...
Analysis of the capabilities of continuous high-speed microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Microcontact printing uses elastomeric stamps to transfer ink onto a substrate by the process of self-assembly. It has the capability to print features as small as 200nm over large areas. Because of this it has many potential ...
Rotation of a slender rod injected into a cylindrical constraint
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
We investigate the buckling of a slender elastic rod injected into a cylindrical constraint while undergoing axial rotation. Particular focus is given to extension of the helical buckling length. This problem is of particular ...
Three dimensional printing with fine metal powders
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
In the area of direct metal part manufacture, the 3DPTM process has several inherent advantages over traditional machining and P/M technologies: hard tooling is not required to manufacture parts, geometries may be created ...
Development of experimental methods to measure osmosis-driven water flux and molecular transport across nanoporous graphene membranes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Graphene, an atomically thin planar lattice of sp2 bonded carbon atoms with high strength and impermeability, has drawn attention as a promising next generation high flux separation membrane. Molecular dynamics simulations ...
Development and application of a non invasive image matching method to study spine biomechanics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Research on spine biomechanics is critical to understand pathology such as degenerative changes and low back pain. However, current study on in-vivo spine biomechanics is limited by the complex anatomy and invasive ...
Analysis, design, and control of an omnidirectional mobile robot in rough terrain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
An omnidirectional mobile robot is able, kinematically, to move in any direction regardless of current pose. To date, nearly all designs and analyses of omnidirectional mobile robots have considered the case of motion on ...
Suspended microchannel resonators for ultralow volume universal detection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Universal detectors that maintain high sensitivity as the detection volume is reduced to the sub-nanoliter scale can enhance the utility of miniaturized total analysis systems ([mu]-TAS). Here the unique scaling properties ...
