A 1.25 gigabit per second binary-phase-shift-keyed optical homodyne receiver
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
2.672 experiment design : heat sink fin configurations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)2.672 is an undergraduate mechanical engineering laboratory course which requires students to solve real-world problems using both theoretical calculations and laboratory experiments. Many of the experiments currently in ... -
2007 Formula SAE pedal box
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The purpose of this thesis is the design and implementation of the pedal box for the 2007 MIT Formula SAE car. Formula SAE is a collegiate competition in which groups of degree seeking students design and manufacture small ... -
A 3-D tomographic survey of compound chondrules in two carbonaceous chondrites : Acfer 139 and Renazzo
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Compound chondrules (CCs) are two or more chondrules fused or mechanically joined together. Studies of compound chondrules have been conducted in order to understand the chondrule formation process, including the environment ... -
3D geographic model vs street view panorama a cognitive study on navigation in different Google maps representations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Throughout history, different tools have been invented to help people navigate in space. The different tools use different modes of representation as abstractions of 3-dimensional space. Two of the representations used in ... -
3D print quality in the context of PLA color
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)3D printing is a hot topic in manufacturing and a truly useful tool, but it has limitations. Print quality properties - like raft peelability, dimensional tolerance and surface roughness - are hard to calibrate perfectly. ... -
42-volt powernet system management using multiplexed remote switching
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
A 674 nm external cavity diode laser for a ⁸⁸Sr⁺ ion trap
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Atomic ion traps are a promising candidate for scalable quantum information processing. In this thesis, a 674 nm extended cavity diode laser is built to address an optical quantum bit in ⁸⁸Sr⁺ with the goal of testing such ... -
Abdominal vacuum lift as an aid to diagnosing abdominal adhesions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The internal organs are designed to move freely and slide over one another during normal body movement. The abdominal organs, however, have a tendency to adhere to the abdominal cavity (peritoneum) and other abdominal ... -
The absorption of nitrogen dioxide in concentrated nitric acid
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1940) -
Absorption studies of metastable helium atoms.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1966) -
Accelerated clustering through locality-sensitive hashing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)We obtain improved running times for two algorithms for clustering data: the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm and Lloyd's algorithm. The EM algorithm is a heuristic for finding a mixture of k normal distributions ... -
An accelerated K[subscript ISCC] test for high-strength steels in hydrogen
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
Accuracy control risk management for modular submarine hull construction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
An accurate analytical framework for computing fault-tolerance thresholds using the [[7,1,3]] quantum code
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In studies of the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum error-correction, it is generally assumed that the noise channel at all levels of error-correction is the depolarizing channel. The effects of this assumption on the ... -
Achieving quality of service guarantees on frame relay using weighted round-robin queueing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998) -
Acquaintances and contacts of Franklin Roosevelt : the first 86 days of 1934
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960) -
Acquisition behavior for a HDD interpolative timing recovery system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Action scheduling in humanoid conversational agents
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)This paper presents an approach to action scheduling in lifelike humanoid agents. The action scheduler constitutes a module in the agent which links the mental processes to the physical actions of the agent. It receives ... -
An active audio attenuator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976)
