(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
Design of a laboratory system for the prediction of wireline tool sticking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Design of a laboratory test bed for planetary rover systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)Robotic rovers are an important tool for scientists to explore and gather data from other planets. This thesis presents the design of an experimental test bed for studying planetary rover systems. The design of a six-wheeled ... -
Design of a laparoscopic simulation device for testing and training
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis describes the development by Caroline Flowers of two prototypes of a benchtop laparoscopy simulator that mechanically simulates access ports using outer 'tissue' samples for port insertion and an inner cavity ... -
Design of a large scale MIMD computer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Design of a large-dose minimally invasive drug delivery device for Tuberculosis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Tuberculosis (TB) affects millions of people all over the world, and in India has an incidence figure of about 2.8 million individuals annually. The TB treatment regime is quite involved, generally requiring six months and ... -
Design of a large-scale virus capsid model for educational use
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A foot-scale model of an icosahedral virus capsid, as opposed to a helical capsid shape, was modeled in preparation for manufacture for educational use. We chose to model the icosahedral virus capsid for manufacture because ... -
Design of a latching mechanism for unloading a rotary compressor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
The design of a lean automobile dismantling and recycling system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)The purpose of this project was to design a new, more efficient automobile recycling system for the JMS consortium. JMS is a consortium of l 8 independent automobile recycling facilities processing a collective annual ... -
Design of a lightweight camping cot using carbon fiber tent poles and ripstop nylon
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A lightweight camping cot is currently unavailable in the backpacking market. Although camping cots do exist, they are not competitive in weight and size with sleeping pads typically used by campers. On average, sleeping ... -
Design of a lightweight, multipurpose underwater vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993) -
Design of a linear cavity and a characterization setup for multi-pass transmission electron microscopy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In this thesis, the different electron optical components necessary to build a linear cavity for multi-pass transmission electron microscopy are analyzed and simulated. Moreover, a prototype of the core component, the gated ... -
Design of a liquid embossing machine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)A machine was designed to pattern thin films of liquid by liquid embossing. 10 designs were prototyped and evaluated according to pattern transfer, alignment, and ability to emboss large area. The final design utilizes a ... -
The design of a liquid fluidic reaction jet system.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1969) -
Design of a load cell for triaxial force measurement in walking

Design of a load-lock system for the lyophilization of unit-dose pharmaceuticals in a continuous manufacturing machine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Lyophilization, or freeze drying, of unit-dose pharmaceuticals eliminates the need to preserve quality through regulated temperature storage during transport. Typical lyophilization is performed through batch processing, ... -
Design of a low cost bamboo footbridge
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Nowadays the construction business, more so than other industries, is responsible most of the environmental issues that our society encounters. Given the increasing concern our impact on the environment, the need for new ... -
Design of a low cost hydrostatic bearing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis presents the design and manufacturing method for a new surface self compensating hydrostatic bearing. A lumped resistance model was used to analyze the performance of the bearing and provide guidance on laying ... -
Design of a low enrichment, enhanced fast flux core for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Research Reactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Worldwide, there is limited test reactor capacity to perform the required irradiation experiments on advanced fast reactor materials and fuel designs. This is particularly true in the U.S., which no longer has an operating ...
