(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, an open-loop numerical dynamic optimization method for a class of dynamic systems is developed. The structure of the governing equations of the systems under consideration change depending on the values of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Telepresence robots have emerged as a novel solution to meeting the social communication needs of nomadic workers. This thesis provides an overview of non-verbal communication cues for telepresence robot applications, and ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Diffusion-driven flow is the result of a conflict between hydrostatic equilibrium in a density stratified fluid and the no-flux boundary condition that must be obeyed on impermeable boundaries that are sloping with respect ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In situations that demand the use of the high-bandwidth, high-quality sense of vision for interactions with the physical world it would be beneficial to have a wearable tactile display that takes advantage of touch to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)I built a novel prototype capillary polymerase chain reaction machine. The purpose was to perform a single reaction as fast as possible with a reaction volume - 100 nl. The PCR mix is in the form of a 1 /1 droplet that ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Rotary valves have existed for millennia; and while they have developed tremendously since the first Roman valves, many of the same problems have persisted. The basic problems are caused by the coupling of functional ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The goal on this thesis project was to develop a novel, easy-clean protein shaker. Protein shakers are used to contain and mix protein supplementation powder and water or liquid of the user's choice. Due to the nature of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This work presents a system for identifying the site of origin of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and guiding a catheter to that site in order to deliver radio-frequency (RF) ablation therapy. Myocardial infarction (MI), also ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Although MIT Students have been taught an enormous amount of theory and design, they are not exposed to simple machine elements and designs from the past. As a result, students often spend time reinventing things when the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Degenerative diseases, such as osteoarthritis, and traumatic injuries are both prominent causes of cartilage defects. Due to its avascular nature, adult human cartilage displays limited capacity for regeneration. Current ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This report focuses on the design, testing and fabrication of a lightweight personal, portable cooling system for use by soldiers beneath their Interceptor body armor. An alpha prototype was constructed and was used to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In order to improve nerve healing, a new treatment that uses conductive polymer scaffolds to bridge gaps between damaged nerve ends and deliver drugs controllably was explored. In order to optimize neuron growth across ...
