(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)A new method for aligning and actuating membranes for 3D nano-assembly based on the interactions of nanomagnets has been developed. Arrays of nanopatterned magnetic material are integrated onto thin-film membranes. It is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A novel 3D surface imaging technique using Active Wavefront Sampling (AWS) is presented. In this technique, the optical wavefront traversing a lens is sampled at two or more off-axis locations and the resulting motion of ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis, the use of highly mobile sonar platforms is investigated for the purpose of acoustically classifying compact objects on or below the seabed. The extension of existing strategies, including synthetic aperture ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Continuous combustion systems common in propulsion and power generation applications are susceptible to thermoacoustic instability, which occurs under lean burn conditions close to the flammability where most emissions and ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Adaptive control is one of the technologies that improve both performance and safety as controller parameters can be redesigned autonomously in the presence of uncertainties. Considerable research has been accomplished in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This thesis is about the adaptive control of time delay systems with applications to automotive control problems. The stabilization of systems involving time delays is a difficult problem since the existence of a delay may ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Adaptive control is considered to be one of the key enabling technologies for future high-performance, safety-critical systems such as air-breathing hypersonic vehicles. Adaptive flight control systems offer improved ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Gravitational waves are predicted to exist by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. The waves interact extremely weakly with the surrounding universe so only the most massive and violent events such as supernovae and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis, an innovative architecture for real-time adaptive and cooperative control of autonomous sensor platforms in a marine sensor network is described in the context of the autonomous oceanographic network scenario. ...
