Methodology to manage process technology innovation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The research conducted for this thesis was performed at "Company X", a U.S.-based engineered goods manufacturer. This project focused on the company's Advanced Manufacturing group and its process technology development ... -
A methodology to quantify risk of failure for dynamic robots
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Humans possess an innate sense of danger that guides the execution of extraordinary dynamic maneuvers. They can also use this sense to generate creative recovery strategies to eventually come to a safe stop. This capability ... -
Methodology, morphology, and optimization of carbon nanotube growth for improved energy storage in a double layer capacitor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The goal of this thesis is to optimize the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a conducting substrate for use as an electrode to improve energy density in a double-layer capacitor. The focus has been on several areas, ... -
Methods and analysis of genome-scale gene family evolution across multiple species
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The fields of genomics and evolution have continually benefited from one another in their common goal of understanding the biological world. This partnership has been accelerated by ever increasing sequencing and high-throughput ... -
Methods and applications in computational protein design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In this thesis, we summarize our work on applications and methods for computational protein design. First, we apply computational protein design to address the problem of degradation in stored proteins. Specifically, we ... -
Methods and devices for corrosion fatigue testing without acceleration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Substantial submarine procurement and maintenance costs could be saved by extending the submarine propulsion shaft inspection interval from 6 to 12 years as part of the design of the next class of vessels. On existing ... -
Methods and devices for noninvasive physiologic fluid volume assessment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Fluid volume status is a physiologic parameter that currently lacks a reliable diagnostic tool. Volume control becomes an issue during sickness and/or stress (physical and mental) in a wide range of populations. Unfortunately, ... -
Methods and models of screening genomic variants
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)Genomes are the basis of human biology and human disease. Understanding the role of each gene on a healthy or diseased phenotype requires an intervention to causally link between genotype and phenotype. Advances in RNA-guided ... -
Methods and technologies for high-throughput and high-content small animal screening
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)High-throughput and high-content screening (HTS and HCS) of whole animals requires their immobilization for high-resolution imaging and manipulation. Here we present methods to enable HTS and HCS of the nematode Caenorhabditis ... -
Methods and tools for the formulation, evaluation and optimization of rover mission concepts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Traditionally, Mars rover missions have been conceived with a single point design approach, exploring a limited architectural trade space. The design of future missions must resolve a conflict between increasingly ambitious ... -
Methods development of multimodal loading under bending, compression and torsion for bench-top testing of cardiovascular stents
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This thesis describes a method for setting up, testing and analyzing cardiovascular stents in multiple deformation modes. Testing stents in multiple deformation modes, including bending, torsion and compression simultaneously ... -
Methods enabling interactive customization of fabricable objects by non-professionals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)This thesis addresses the problem of allowing casual users to customize the design of 3D printable objects while maintaining their validity. This work defines Fab Form as a representation formalizing the requirements for ... -
