  • Hickman, Madeline R. (Madeline Ruth) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
    Bicycle rickshaws impose significant physical burdens on their drivers. Used throughout India for transportation, these rickshaws are not designed for driver comfort and safety. Instead, traditional rickshaws are only ...
  • Albahar, Abdulaziz M (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    There are a number of factors that influence an individual's ability to design. Designers vary by characteristics of their designs. Some product designers may be very practical, while others attempt to induce surprise and ...
  • Greenberg, Holly C (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
    A relationship between sense of humor, personality type and creativity is hypothesized. Surveys were given to engineering design students in a product development course offered at MIT. Linear correlations were found between ...
  • Kuo, Valerie (Valerie Y.) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
    To expand on the understanding of effective leadership and management, this study provides new evidence on the relation between employee satisfaction, project success, and managerial characteristics for the optimization ...
  • Griffin, James W; Shewbridge, William H (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1936)
  • Wang, Xin C (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    The flame plasma treatment studied in this thesis was able to oxidize the surface of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in a fraction of a second. It was found to be a much faster way to modify PDMS surface wettability than the ...
  • Cosman, Niels Johnson (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    Currently there are no of MRI image-based stereotactic apparatus for target determination in the brain of animals. Until now, the only stereotactic devices for directing problems and electrodes in animal brains for ...
  • Ali, Zehra (Zehra Hyder) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
    A year after the South Asia earthquake, over 60% of the survivors are still vulnerable due to the lack of adequate shelter, the absence of basic facilities for water and sanitation and livelihood restoration. The harsh ...
  • Smith, Jennifer E. (Jennifer Edith) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    This paper discusses the synchronization and adaptation of systems of nonlinear oscillators. The paper presents several simulations, which attempt to illustrate these systems as clearly as possible, in particular in the ...
  • Wu, Yi Fei, S. B. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    This thesis examined the characteristics of the Hexamite Hx11 ultrasonic sensor for the purpose of three dimensional positioning for mobile robots with multi-plane motions. The sensor system was studied and an experiment ...
  • Sisler, Nicholas Daniel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
    American consumers make a number of decisions that significantly impact their energy use. Some of the most important of these decisions were identified and analyzed for the purpose of including them in a Consumer Energy ...
  • Bateman, Chris (Chris B.) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
    Energy is a very important aspect of human life. In the past few centuries, energy consumption has increased dramatically to a point where humans are very much dependant of energy. Under the current nonrenewable energy ...
  • Shu, Yuan, 1983- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    The aim of this project was to design and build a tabletop robot that could move the arm of a patient with limited motor function around on a table in any given trajectory to aid the patient in regaining function. The ...
  • Briggs, Randall (Randall Miller) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Tails are seen in nature to be used in an amazing number of different applications. Many of these applications seen in nature may be of use to bioinspired roboticists in the future. I have provided a brief review of tail ...
  • Calbry-Muzyka, Adelaide S (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    The work presented in this thesis concerns the development of an electromechanical device that prints labels in braille. For blind and visually impaired people, differentiating between similarly-shaped objects - CDs, ...
  • Vaskov, Alex Kikeri (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    James Cameron's dive to the Challenger Deep in the Deepsea Challenger in March of 2012 marked the first time man had returned to the Mariana Trench since the Bathyscaphe Trieste's 1960 dive. Currently little is known about ...
  • Suen, Timothy W. (Timothy Wu) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    The Ultra-High Throughput Mutational Spectrometer is an instrument designed to separate mutant from wild type DNA through capillary electrophoresis. Since this technique uses the melting point of the molecule to distinguish ...
  • Lin, Christine, 1982- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    A one-person cardboard structure was designed to temporarily shelter the homeless during harsh weather conditions. The overall form is based on the folding Yoshimura pattern. It is collapsible, wind and water resistant, ...
  • Diaz, Juan D (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
    The potential of using carbon nanotube coated flexible cloth as strain gauges was studied. Samples were prepared by sonicating strips of cloth inside a 1mg/ml carbon nanotube in propylene carbonate solution. A dynamic ...
  • Moyer, Raphael (Raphael E.) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    Testing is a critical element of systems engineering, as it allows engineers to ensure that products meet specifications before they go into production. The testing literature, however, has been largely theoretical, and ...
