(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The availability of lasers with femtosecond, ultrafast light pulses provides new opportunities and challenges in instrument design. This thesis addresses three aspects of utilizing ultrafast light pulses in two-photon ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)In-flame soot particle size and concentration analysis techniques were developed for high concentrations of ultra-fine soot particles (particle diameters<< 1000 nm) using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS). The SMPS ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The development of micro/nanofluidics is expected to be the enabling technology for sample preparation of proteomic biosamples, which has been the bottleneck in proteomics. Most microfabricated nanofluidic channels, such ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Scanning beam interference lithography (SBIL) is a technique developed at MIT in 2003. The SBIL system, referred to as the Nanoruler, could fabricate grating patterns with around ten-nanometer phase repeatability. There ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Discovering the genetic causes of common diseases may require scanning for mutations in all of the genes in a million people, a significant undertaking. Such discoveries would revolutionize biotechnology, potentially ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Roll-to-roll flexible electronics manufacturing technologies require new sensing and measurement capabilities for defect detection and process control. This body of work investigates the use of ultrasound, specifically ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The ultrasonic wave propagation of thick, layered composites containing degraded bonds is investigated. A theoretical one-dimensional model of three attenuative viscoelastic layers containing two imperfect interfaces is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The recent influx of tattoos has been accompanied by a rise in demand for tattoo removals. Due to the recent success of ultrasound as a noninvasive alternative for multiple medical therapies, the feasibility of ultrasound-mediated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)During interventional ultrasound-guided procedures, sterility is maintained by covering the ultrasound transducer head and cord with a sterile sheath. The current sheathing technique is cumbersome, requires an assistant ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) imaging is gaining wide acceptance in clinical practice as both a non-invasive and quantitative diagnostic modality. Most commercial SWE systems generate shear waves using acoustic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Therapeutic ultrasound describes a non-invasive surgical technique by which high-energy ultrasound is delivered to malignant tissue. This method must be monitored in order to ensure that the correct tissues are treated and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Solar photovoltaics, which convert the energy potential of photons from the sun directly into electrical power, hold immense promise as a cornerstone of a clean energy future. Yet their cost remains greater than that of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Coal mines pose a high safety risk for human workers. An autonomous inspection drone would enable a coal mine operation to reduce this risk by minimizing the time spent by workers inside the mine. This inspection drone ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The integrated power system has become increasingly important in electric ships due to the integrated capability of high-power equipment, for example, electromagnetic rail guns, advance radar system, etc. Several parameters ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The next-generation all-electric ship represents a class of design and control problems in which the system is too large to approach analytically, and even with many conventional computational techniques. Additionally, ...
