An automatic news article editor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987) -
The automatic synchronization of multiple aircraft engines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1938) -
An automatic, multi-fidelity framework for optimizing the performance of super-cavitating hydrofoils using Gaussian process regression and Bayesian optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Computer automated design of complex physical systems is often limited by the computational resources required for the high precision solvers. Determining an optimum design necessitates high accuracy simulations due to the ... -
Automating component-based testing from UML models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Software components such as EJB’s or COM objects may be tested in an automated fashion with the help of UML models. First, these objects should be modeled in UML, using certain extensions and modeling conventions. Then, ... -
Automating radiation damage studies of materials irradiated by high-energy protons using multiphysics simulations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Understanding radiation and corrosion damage in nuclear materials has become increasingly important in reactor design considerations. However, running irradiation damage studies in nuclear reactors is expensive and ... -
Automating structural stress analysis : beam deflection, shear, and moment diagram generator for single and multi-span beams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)A new tool has been developed with Aurora Flight Sciences to automate stress analysis of beams under loading. It is a Microsoft Excel based tool to be consistent with Aurora's other analysis tools and analyst preference, ... -
Automating the United States payment system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Despite the advent of technology, the United States continues to write 66 billion checks each year while other GlO nations have successfully migrated to electronic payment. Although electronic alternatives promise future ... -
Automation as a manpower reduction strategy in navy ships
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Since the early 2000's, the US Navy has endeavored to decrease the Total Ownership Cost (TOC) of their ships through a decrease in Operating and Support costs. This led to a large-scale effort by ship program managers to ... -
Automation of electrostatic material property measurement procedures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
An automobile dealership
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1956) -
An automobile garage
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1906) -
Autonomous active ankle exo-skeleton devices provide metabolic cost reduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In this thesis, I designed and conducted an experiment that looks to confirm the metabolic cost decrease associated with the usage of an autonomous active ankle exoskeleton. The primary method to identify the associated ... -
Autonomous adaptation and collaboration of unmanned vehicles for tracking submerged contacts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Autonomous operations are vital to future naval operations. Unmanned systems, including autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs), are anticipated to play a key role for critical tasks ... -
Autonomous navigation with mobile robot using ultrasonic rangefinders
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In this thesis, I designed and implemented an autonomous navigation system for a four-wheeled mobile robot with ultrasonic sonar sensors and a National Instruments myRIO real-time controller. LabVIEW code was developed to ... -
Available transfer capability for electric power markets : a critical appraisal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
An axial force sensor for a prosthetic knee
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Axially force limited grinding spindle for robotic grinding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Grinding and Polishing of small parts is often easily performed by human hands, yet is challenging to automate. The grinding and polishing process is best done using a force-control scheme, which human hands perform ... -
Axiomatic design of a customizable pneumatic automotive suspension with hydraulic ride height regulator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Stiffness has long since governed the way people choose automobiles. Stiffer suspensions allow for the better handling necessary in sporty cars while softer suspensions provide the comfort expected in luxury cars. Automobiles ... -
Axiomatic design of a manually powered wheelchair lift mechanism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The objective of this research is to create an inexpensive mechanism which gives wheelchair users the ability to adjust the vertical height of their chair while seated. There are currently 1.5 million manual wheelchair ... -
Axiomatic redesign : using Axiomatic Design to improve vehicle performance of the steering and suspension system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Every year, automobile manufacturers strive to improve upon their existing designs. Every year, they make small adjustments and try to optimize their designs. Unfortunately, this 'optimization' is often a compromise between ...
