(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Body Area Networks (BANs) are gaining prominence for their capability to revolutionize medical monitoring, diagnosis and treatment. This thesis describes a BAN that uses conductive fabrics (e-textiles) worn by the user to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, I contribute to the design and implemention of a new TCP-like protocol, CTCP, that uses network coding to provide better network use of the network bandwidth in a wireless environment. CTCP provides the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Femtosecond lasers and the development of frequency combs have revolutionized multiple fields like metrology, spectroscopy, medical diagnostics and optical communications. However, to enable wider adoption of the technology ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Sparse coding represents input signals each as a sparse linear combination of a set of basis or dictionary elements where sparsity encourages representing each input signal with a few of the most indicative dictionary ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We explore the utility of a dimensionality reducing process we term folding for the purposes of image feature extraction. We seek to discover whether image features are preserved under this process and how to efficiently ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis presents vCloud Populator, a new approach to automating the cloud population process on VMware vCloud Director. Cloud population is the process during which a cloud instance is populated with entities to reflect ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, I describe a method of animating characters using physical simulation. The main advantage of this approach, verses traditional keyframing methods, is that the animated character can react to physical ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis consists of two studies on financial market imperfections. The first study (Chapters 2 and 3) investigates illiquidity, which is a reflection of different imperfections, and its pricing implications in the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Second language learning has become an important societal need over the past decades. Given that the number of language teachers is far below demand, computer-aided language learning software is becoming a promising ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The Biomimetic Robotics Group is attempting to build the fastest quadruped robot powered by electromagnetic means. The limitations in achieving this goal are the torque produced from motors used to power the robot, as well ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Continuous scaling of Si complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology requires a boost in carrier injection velocity. With the benefits of strained Si having been exhausted, n-channel I-V quantum-well field ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In this thesis, a low-power, wearable monitoring system was developed from discrete electronic components and custom PCBs. The device was designed to maximize comfort and minimize the footprint on the user. A single lead, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We describe an approach to automate certain high-level implementation decisions in a pervasive application, allowing them to be postponed until run time. Our system enables a model in which an application programmer can ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The PZT cellular actuator developed in the MIT d'Arbeloff Laboratory utilizes small-strain, high-force PZT stack actuators in a mechanical flexure system to produce a larger-strain, lower-force actuator useful in robotic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This research focuses on improving the performance of spoken dialog systems (SDS) in the domain of assistive technology for people with disabilities. Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has compelling potential applications ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Mobile device companies typically manage supply and pricing for components that are used in production by their Vertical Integrators (VIs). By controlling the component pricing and supply chain, mobile device companies are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Crowd-powered systems combine computation with human intelligence, drawn from large groups of people connecting and coordinating online. These hybrid systems enable applications and experiences that neither crowds nor ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Advances in sensor technologies and integrated electronics are revolutionizing how humans access and receive healthcare. However, many envisioned wearable or implantable systems are not deployable in practice due to high ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis examines the novel approach by Dunn et al. (2011) that employs the Bayesian phylogenetic inference to compute the Bayes Factors that determine whether the evolutions of a set of word-order traits in four language ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)An emerging trend in marketing has been the use of web and mobile applications to market to a new generation of consumers. These forays into new media reflect a response to increased use of the internet, declining participation ...
