An automated web-based searchable archive for implantable cardioverter defibrillator data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This paper details the research, design, and implementation of a computer system built to archive electrograms and related patient data from implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) produced by Medtronic in particular. ... -
Automated, highly scalable RNA-seq analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)RNA-sequencing is a sensitive method for inferring gene expression and provides additional information regarding splice variants, polymorphisms and novel genes and isoforms. Using this extra information greatly increases ... -
Automatic 'Timed-Up and Go' (TUG) test segmentation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The Timed-Up and Go test (TUG) is a well-known medical test that is used as an indicator of mental and physical health. I developed the TUG-Segmenter, an automatic segmentation tool that can divide recorded TUG test data ... -
Automatic 3D surface area measurement for vitiligo lesions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Vitiligo is a long term skin depigmentation disease that may result in psychological stress. Monitoring changes in vitiligo lesion area allows assessment of treatment efficacy and aids in clinical decision making. Currently ... -
Automatic 5-axis NC toolpath generation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Despite over a decade of research, automatic toolpath generation has remained an elusive goal for 5-axis NC machining. This thesis describes the theoretical and practical issues associated with generating collision free ... -
Automatic acoustic guitar tuner
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Acoustic guitar musicians tune their instruments by using a conventional tuner. Individuals pluck the string and the conventional tuner indicates whether the note is sharp or flat. The musician then has to wind the string ... -

The automatic allocation of tolerances through cost optimization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982) -
Automatic analysis and synthesis of controllers for dynamical systems based on phase-space knowledge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Automatic analysis of medical dialogue in the home hemodialysis domain : structure induction and summarization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Spoken medical dialogue is a valuable source of information, and it forms a foundation for diagnosis, prevention and therapeutic management. However, understanding even a perfect transcript of spoken dialogue is challenging ... -
An automatic annotation system for audio data containing music
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Automatic application-specific optimizations under FPGA memory abstractions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)FPGA-based accelerators have great potential to achieve better performance and energy-efficiency compared to general-purpose solutions because FPGAs permit the tailoring of hardware to a particular application. This hardware ... -
Automatic assessment of mammographic images : positioning and quality assessment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)Breast cancer is a global challenge, causing over 1 million deaths in 2018 and affecting millions more. Screening mammograms to detect breast cancer in its early stages is an extremely vital step for prevention and treatment. ... -
Automatic Baleen Whale Detection and 2D Localization Using a Network of Unsynchronized Passive Acoustic Sensors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-02)Underwater acoustics is a powerful tool for learning about the ocean's soniferous marine life. However, most modern acoustic sensing systems consist of expensive arrays of time-synchronized recorders which require a crewed ... -
Automatic calibration of an urban microclimate model under uncertainty
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Simulation models play an important role in the design, analysis, and optimization of modern energy and environmental systems at building or urban scale. However, due to the extreme complexity of built environments and the ... -
Automatic calibration of modulated fractional-N frequency synthesizers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)The focus of this research has been the development of a low power, radio frequency transmitter architecture. Specifically, a technique for in service automatic calibration of a modulated phase locked loop (PLL) frequency ... -
Automatic classification of documents with an in-depth analysis of information extraction and automatic summarization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Today, annual information fabrication per capita exceeds two hundred and fifty megabytes. As the amount of data increases, classification and retrieval methods become more necessary to find relevant information. This thesis ... -
