Rapid learning in high velocity environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This dissertation investigates how rapid learning occurs in high technology industries, many of which operate in what Bourgeois and Eisenhardt (1988) term "high velocity environments." The dissertation consists of three ... -
Rapid machine tool design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Rapid Machine Tool Design encompasses new materials and manufacturing and design processes that increase the speed and flexibility of the machine tool development process. Rapid design implies increased concurrency and ... -
Rapid nutrient fluctuations and their implications for bacterial growth
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Bacteria, like all lifeforms, rely on resource acquisition for growth, and the tight coupling between bacterial growth physiology and nutrient availability has long been observed. When nutrient environments shift on ... -
Rapid prototyping in early stages of architectural design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)This thesis shows how architects can use Rapid Prototyping and what the advantages and disadvantages are in different manipulations of the tool. Chapter two attempts to chart a road map of the rapid prototyping media. The ... -
Rapid prototyping method for a microfluidics device
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The product design process can be described as a number of steps taken to turn an idea into a reality. One particular design process of creating a microfluidics device was studied and analyzed. A device containing channels ... -
Rapid prototyping of green composites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Rapid prototyping employs digital fabrication techniques to quickly manufacture parts. However, the available materials are not yet suitable for making strong, large or durable objects. Composites are materials which are ... -
Rapid prototyping of rapid prototyping machines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Rapid prototyping tools empower individuals to create almost anything. Unfortunately, these tools are still far too expensive for personal ownership. The do-it-yourself community has responded with a slew of home-made rapid ... -

Rapid remote determination of hydrographic data for modified surf Index calculations and naval applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Amphibious operations present a unique set of challenges to naval personnel. Among these challenges is the need to rapidly obtain reliable real-time data for the surf zone, a high-energy environment in which beach profiles ... -
Rapid replenishment at a consumer product goods manufacturer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Increasing supply chain velocity has adverse consequences for consumer product goods manufacturers, but creates value and flexibility for retail stores. This thesis outlines a case study of a rapid replenishment pilot ... -
Rapid RFID location and orientation recovery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)This thesis aims to enable virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) systems to track objects accurately through occlusions via RFID localization. Currently, three major obstacles prevent the use of RFID localization in VR/AR ... -
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 ... -
