(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis presents an approach to the structural design and optimization of a non-pressurized manned submersible (NPMS), a type of fully "flooded" submersible based on a SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) Design Concept. Using ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Voice coils are a configuration of Linear Lorentz-force Actuator (LLA) that offer efficient transduction of electrical energy into linear motion. The simple geometry of a typical voice coil motor makes the configuration ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Hepatocyte morphology is known to be closely linked to cellular functions. As a result, morphogenesis is extremely important to attain organ-equivalent levels of tissue function from in vitro cultures. Thus, a challenge ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Since the signing of NAFTA in 1993, North American automotive OEMs have moved final assembly and other manufacturing operations from domestic locations to international locations. Mexico provides a relatively inexpensive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The current state of coffee production is reviewed; from the origins of the plant grown to modem coffee brew techniques. Initial experiments are reported in which coffee was brewed at different temperatures for different ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Reusing high-value wireless network equipment can allow telecommunications providers to achieve both financial and environmental benefits. However, without standardized processes and tools to reuse equipment, the reuse ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)An Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) is used to contain raw materials and semi-products in pharmaceutical company ABC. Due to the high price of an IBC, company ABC sought to minimize the number of IBCs needed to support ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Purcell's rotator is a theoretical low Reynolds number swimmer that can act as a model of more complex natural microorganisms, such as E.coli. Because of the low Reynolds number environment, the swimmer has approximately ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The effects of ion orbits on pitch angle scattering of fast ion beam injection are investigated here for the magnetic equilibrium of the ITER tokamak. Two methods are used to calculate distributions in the presence of ...
-
Organization and differentiation of stem cells on delivery scaffold for retinal tissue engineering (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Retinal degenerative diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration, affect more than ten million people in the US. Currently, there is no proven visually beneficial treatment for these types ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), in particular the vertically-aligned variety grown through a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)-based process, are highly versatile nanostructures that can be used in a variety of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The Nanostructured (TM) 3D Fabrication and Assembly Process was developed as a novel method of creating three-dimensional (3D) nanostructured devices using two- dimensional micro- and nanopatterning tools and techniques. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis analyzes two dimensional tomographic imaging of surface objects with negligible volume, concentrating on piecewise linear surfaces similar to folded origami. In contrast to the large number of projections usually ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Despite decades of research on hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), there remains much to be understood about the relationship between deposition conditions and the resulting structural, optical, and bulk properties ...
-
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)Thrust-producing harmonically oscillating foils are studied through force and power measurements, as well as visualization data, to classify the principal characteristics of the flow around and in the wake of the foil. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Desalination is an important separation process which can provide water scarce regions with clean water for drinking or for agricultural use. Thermal distillation has historically been the dominant method for obtaining ...
