  • Personal imaging 
    Mann, Steve, 1962- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
  • Personalized building comfort control 
    Feldmeier, Mark Christopher, 1974- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    Creating an appropriate indoor climate is essential to worker productivity and personal happiness. It is also an area of large expenditure for building owners. And, with rising fuel costs, finding ways of reducing energy ...
  • Personalized extensions : democratizing the programming of virtual-physical interactions 
    Idlbi, Abdulrahman Y (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
    This thesis describes a new framework that enables a wider range of people to extend and customize programming environments to support more personalized explorations, especially in the physical world. While the vocabulary ...
  • Personalized multicast 
    Boissière, Guillaume, 1974- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
  • Personal long-term memory aids 
    Vemuri, Sunil, 1969- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
    The prevalence and affordability of personal and environmental recording apparatuses are leading to increased documentation of our daily lives. This trend is bound to continue and it follows that academic, industry, and ...
  • A personal, mobile system for understanding stress and interruptions 
    Liu, Karen Kay-Lynn, 1980- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
    A variety of legacy and emerging health applications are designed to monitor sensed information about a person's physiological signals over time. Such applications include systems for tracking heart conditions that have ...
  • PerspectiveSpace 
    Alonso, Jason Bernardino (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
    Words mean different things to different people, and capturing these differences is often a subtle art. These differences are often "a matter of perspective," and perspective can be taken to be the set of beliefs held by ...
  • A persuasive GPS-controlled thermostat system 
    Gupta, Manu, S. M. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
    Using 10 weeks of data from a couple living in an instrumented home, we report on the potential of context-aware power management for energy saving. We identify an opportunity to save on heating and cooling using a system ...
  • Persuasive robotics : how robots change our minds 
    Siegel, Michael Steven (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    This thesis explores the extent to which socially capable humanoid robots have the potential to influence human belief, perception and behavior. Sophisticated computational systems coupled with human-like form and function ...
  • A persuasive television remote control for the promotion of health and well-being 
    Nawyn, Jason Paul (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
    New forms of media technology that enter the home often fundamentally transform the way that people spend their time. In the present day, daily "screen time" with televisions and other entertainment systems continues to ...
  • PHISH-nets : planning heuristically in situated hybrid networks 
    Rhodes, Bradley James (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
  • Photoelectromechanical synthesis of low-cost DNA microarrays 
    Chow, Brian, 1978- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
    Recent advances in de novo gene synthesis, library construction, and genomic selection for target sequencing using DNA from custom microarrays have demonstrated that microarrays can effectively be used as the world's ...
  • Photomosaics : putting pictures in their place 
    Silvers, Robert, 1968- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
  • Phrases of the kinetic : dynamic physicality as a dimension of the design process 
    Parkes, Amanda Jane (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    At its core, the concept of Tangible Interfaces leverages the idea of using the movement of the body as an inherent part of the human side of a human-computer interaction, assuming that bodily engagement and tactile ...
  • Physical finite elements 
    Calisch, Samuel Eli (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
    Engineering with digital materials, by discretely and reversibly assembling structure and function from a mass-produced construction kit of parts, is indeed an exciting vision. The ability to decouple conventionally linked ...
  • A physically based human figure model with a complex floot and low level behavior control 
    McKenna, Michael Allen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
  • Physical one-way functions 
    Pappu, Ravikanth Srinivasa (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
    Modern cryptography relies on algorithmic one-way functions - numerical functions which are easy to compute but very difficult to invert. This dissertation introduces physical one-way firnctions and physical one-way hash ...
  • Physical pixels 
    Heaton, Kelly Bowman, 1972- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
    The picture element, or pixel, is a conceptual unit of representation for digital information. Like all data structures of the computer, pixels are invisible and therefore require an output device to be seen. The physical ...
  • Piecing together the magic mirror : a software framework to support distributed, interactive applications 
    Hirsh, Diane E. (Diane Elizabeth) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
    Developing applications for distributed platforms can be very difficult and complex. We have developed a software framework to support distributed, interactive, collaborative applications that run on collections of ...
  • Place Pulse : measuring the collaborative image of the city 
    Salesses, Mark Philip (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    This thesis presents Place Pulse, a tool capable of conducting large crowdsourced visual preference surveys. The data collected with Place Pulse was used to create quantitative measures of the perceptions people hold of ...
