A global sourcing strategy for durable tooling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Competitive pressures in manufacturing industries have led to an increased utilization of strategic sourcing initiatives: among them is low cost sourcing. While low cost sourcing has been used extensively for direct ...
Motion pattern analysis for far-field vehicle surveillance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the motion patterns in far-field vehicle tracking data collected by multiple, stationary non-overlapping cameras. The specific focus is to fully recover the camera's network ...
An adaptive Orthogonaly Division Multiplexing baseband modem for wideband wireless communication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
This thesis shows the design of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing base-band modem with Frequency Adaptive Modulation protocol for a wideband indoor wireless channel. The baseband modem is implemented on a Field ...
Modeling cell and tissue electroporation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Large, pulsed electric fields are becoming an increasingly important tool in drug delivery, gene delivery, and apoptosis induction. Nonetheless, much remains unknown about the fundamental mechanisms by which large electric ...
Simultaneous sensor calibration and path estimation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
This thesis presents two topics related to the simultaneous calibration of a network of imaging sensors, i.e. cameras, and the recovery of the trajectory of an object moving among those sensors. The non-overlapping fields ...
On sounding in wideband channels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
(cont.) This approach provides us with a cohesive framework to consider the relative costs and benefits of allotting energy for sounding versus transmission, and for repeated sounding of a single channel versus sounding ...
The application of photosynthetic materials and architectures to solar cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Photosynthetic approaches to redesigning photovoltaics (PV) offer an attractive route towards achieving high-efficiency, low-cost solar energy transduction. This thesis explores two routes toward this end: the direct ...
