Tabletop robot to aid in arm rehabilitation of stroke patients
(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 ... -
Tactic behaviors in bacterial dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The locomotion of a wide class of motile bacteria can be mathematically described as a biased random walk in three-dimensional space. Fluid mechanics and probability theory are invoked to model the dynamics of bacteria ... -
A tactical planning model for a semiconductor waver fabrication facility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Tactile sensor design optimization for footwear applications from piezoresistive elastomer to Hall-effect integrated sensing methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Our ability to move across various terrains depends heavily on the mechanical interactions between our feet and the external environment. Understanding how to best replicate mechanoreceptors in feet can lead to major ... -
Tail use in bioinspired quadrupedal locomotion
(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 ... -
Tailoring light with photonic crystal slabs : from directional emission to topological half charges
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Photonic crystal slabs are a versatile and important platform for molding the flow of light. In this thesis, we consider ways to control the emission of light from photonic crystal slab structures, specifically focusing ... -
A tale of two particles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)It was the earliest of times, it was the latest of times, it was the age of inflation, it was the age of collapse, it was the epoch of perturbation growth, it was the epoch of perturbation damping, it was the CMB of light, ... -
A tannery waste disposal problem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1930) -
Targeted magnetic nanoparticles for remote manipulation of protein aggregation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Local heat delivered by magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) selectively attached to their target proteins can be used to manipulate and break up toxic or obstructive aggregates. We applied this magnetic hyperthermia treatment ... -
Targeted sensors for investigating mobile Zinc in biology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Chapter 1. Sensing Strategies for Detection of Mobile Zinc. Mobile zinc plays important physiological roles in areas such as the hippocampus, prostate, and pancreas. A better understanding of the distribution of intracellular ... -
TARMAN--a computer model for dynamic target simulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987) -
Tartan Threads : a method for the real-time digital recognition of secure documents in ink-jet printers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Thanks to today's digital imaging technology, any ten year old child with basic computer skills can create convincing counterfeit currency. It comes as no surprise that as output quality and costs have improved in ink-jet ... -
A taxonomy of computer intrusions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
A taxonomy of participatory design projects in architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Since its advent in the 1960s, participatory design has been an interesting and innovative technique to use in architectural projects. The nature of participatory design projects is varied and diverse. Much of the existing ... -
TCAQ-based polymer for electrochemically mediated separations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Redox-mediated separation systems offer the potential to efficiently desalinate water and to purify contaminated waste streams, among other health and environmental applications. A TCAQ-based polymer, unique for its ... -
TeachBot : an automated, hands-on apprenticeship program
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)There are a plethora of medium and small-sized manufacturing companies that do not rely completely on autonomous systems. As a result, it is more economical to use a mixture of human labor and manufacturing robots; however, ... -
