(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Vibration and noise are an ever-present problem in the majority of mechanical systems, from consumer products to precision manufacturing systems. But most approaches for vibration suppression are expensive and invasive, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this work we develop new algorithms for video comparison, for video alignment, and for determining the similarity between entire video clips or detecting similarities between sub-videos. The intent of this work is to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)For more than 2,500 years, surgical teaching has been based on the so called "see one, do one, teach one" paradigm, in which the surgical trainee learns by operating on patients under close supervision of peers and superiors. ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This thesis explores various aspects of the volume holographic pupils to better understand and implement multi-dimensional imaging. A full description and applications of volume holographic pupils are presented in ray, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Deep water, string-like, marine risers subject to strong ocean currents, suffer from vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), where vortex shedding interacts with the structural properties of the riser, resulting in large amplitude ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of long flexible cylindrical structures enduring ocean currents is ubiquitous in the offshore industry. Though significant effort has gone into understanding this complicated fluid-structure ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) results in fatigue damage of offshore oil exploration and production structures. In recent years, the offshore industry has begun to employ curved slender structures such as steel catenary ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Transverse jets arise in many applications, including propulsion, effluent dispersion, oil field flows, V/STOL aerodynamics, and drug delivery. Furthermore, they exemplify flows dominated by coherent structures that cascade ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Direct wafer bonding has emerged as an important technology in the manufacture of silicon-on-insulator substrates (SOI), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D IC's). While the ...

A wearable blood pressure sensor using oscillometric photoplethysmography and micro accelerometers (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Monitoring arterial blood pressure (ABP) with a sensor virtually imperceptible to the wearer, for continuous periods of weeks, months, or years, could prove revolutionary in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hypertension ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This thesis explores the wrinkling and sagging behavior of thin viscous Newtonian sheets and filaments motivated by analogous scenarios in elasticity. These problems involve dynamic free boundaries and geometric nonlinearities ...
