A wearable, wireless sensor system for sports medicine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis describes a compact, wireless, wearable system that measures, for purposes of biomechanical analysis, signals indicative of forces, torques and other descriptive and evaluative features that the human body ... -
Wearable-assisted social interaction as assistive technology for the blind
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This work presents an end-to-end wearable system designed to learn and assist its (potentially blind) wearers with daily social interactions. In particular, it visually identifies nearby acquaintances and provides timely, ... -
Wearables as witness : sensing and categorizing violent forces in a wearable system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The societal problem of physical abuse persists in part because of isolation and concealment. Emerging technologies have been adapted by abusers for methods of control and by victims for methods of resistance. This project ... -
The wearing properties of nitrided nitralloy against various alloys
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1929) -
Weather forecasting : the next generation : the potential use and implementation of ensemble forecasting
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis discusses ensemble forecasting, a promising new weather forecasting technique, from various viewpoints relating not only to its meteorological aspects but also to its user and policy aspects. Ensemble forecasting ... -
Weathering the storms : new suburban typology for coastal cities through a case study on Winthrop, MA
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Climate change is intensifying natural events around the world. As the sea level rises, coastal cities are becoming more vulnerable to storm surges and flooding. This is especially problematic in the U.S. where the population ... -
Weathermart
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Weathermart reinvents the supermarket by questioning the generic big-box typology, where produce is placed in the same way, in an hermetically sealed environment. Supermarkets now consume excess energy by heating and cooling ... -
Weaving time into system architecture : new perspectives on flexibility, spacecraft design lifetime, and on-orbit servicing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)A roadmap for a comprehensive treatment of issues of flexibility in system design is developed that addresses the following questions: 1) What are the characteristic features of flexibility in system design? Can one clearly ... -
Weaving together the threads of transportation infrastructure : an intermodal transportation station for the proposed MBTA urban ring, Sullivan Square Station, Boston
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)Transportation infrastructure in all its manifestations represents a huge capital investment expended during the evolution of a city and is perhaps the most visible character defining weave of any urban fabric. This weave, ... -
Web 2.0 for urban designers & planners
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The author contends that a class of new and emerging participatory Web-based tools, referred to at present as "Web 2.0," can and should be used by urban designers and planners to achieve better results in public participation ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Many technologies fall under the umbrella of what is commonly known as "Web 2.0," including the Wiki, a software product which allows multiple users to review and edit documents online. Like all Web 2.0 technologies, Wikis ... -
Web application development using Open Source and Java technologies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)With the growing popularity of Open Source and Java, software engineers have embraced the idea of a no-cost development platform for Web applications. This thesis introduces the concepts of Open Source and gives an overview ... -
A Web application to improve emotional awareness in high-functioning autistics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The web application built here is based on the idea of presenting scenarios to users, using text, and having the users choose likely emotions that match the scenarios. Taken for granted by most neurotypical people, ... -
Web based client/server computing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996) -
WEB based cost estimation models for the manufacturing of advanced composites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Presently there are many cost estimation methods and software available to the public for metal processing, but there are almost none (excluding proprietary) for advanced composites. As a result, our research group's ... -
