(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The toy industry holds a large portion of the American consumer market, and new products are in constant demand. A new mechanism for use in children's toys has been proposed to fire small plastic balls at a rate of over ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Precision positioning of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) in a nautical environment is a difficult task. With a dual azimuthing thruster scheme, the optimization of thruster outputs uses an online method to minimize the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Commute trip reduction plans are being implemented at an increasing number of worksites. In order to be able to structure the most effective plan for a specific worksite, it is necessary to understand the factors that ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Horizontal-axis wind turbine designs often included gearboxes or large direct-drive generators to compensate for the low peripheral speeds of the turbine hub. To take advantage of high blade tip speeds, an alternative ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The overarching goal of this work is to develop a control algorithm that will allow an active prosthetic ankle to emulate its biological equivalent. The current convention for below-knee amputees is to use passive ankles. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)An experimental study was conducted to determine the accuracy of current press fit theory when applied to press fit design. Brass and nylon hex samples were press fitted with hardened steel dowel pins. Press fit force and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Human society and civilization rely on the constant availability of fresh water. In regions where a local source of potable water is not available, a transportation and distribution pipe system is employed. When these pipes ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The process of taking an idea into reality has long fascinated me. Throughout the course of college, I have had the privilege of helping to create three varying projects: a workshop designing custom-machined clock faces, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Proper hydration and aerodynamic performance are both essential needs of a competitive cyclist or triathlete. Several aerodynamic systems have been developed for use on bicycles but few have been designed to be truly ...

Product development of a device for manufacturing medical equipment for use in low-resource settings (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The objective of this paper is to describe the product design of a device that can be used to create medical supplies on-site in clinics in low-resource settings. The machine uses purely mechanical elements to cut and fold ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)A preliminary prototype of a new athletic apparel product uses resistive straps, integrated within a suit, to provide muscular resistance. This developing fitness product allows users to exercise both their upper and lower ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The availability of inexpensive synthetic DNA (oligonucleotides) has allowed for the synthesis of longer, gene-length constructs of DNA. However, a critical barrier to making this technology a low-cost and high-throughput ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A second generation control box using frequency hopping spread spectrum radio was designed and built for use in the Spring 2006 offering of 2.007 Design and Manufacturing I. A third generation control box that could hold ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The purpose of this thesis was to design and construct a prototype for the control of virtual avatars in a virtual space. It was designed with the intent to feature multiple interfaces such that the user would have many ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)An experimental study was performed to design and analyze a "pusher" propeller for use by a small, expendable, autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) whose mission was to descend from 30,000 feet to sea level at an ...
