High-order compensation of self-phase modulation in laser communication systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Self-phase modulation (SPM) creates a power and fiber-length dependent spectral broadening that reduces signal-to-noise ratio in free-space laser communication systems which use a fiber to connect their transmitter's ...
Long-term multi-object tracking in indoor environments using network flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
This thesis presents a system for long-term tracking of multiple people in indoor environments using a min cost flow algorithm to optimize the association of short-term tracklets. This system is built on top of an existing ...
On-time delivery improvement at a semiconductor equipment manufacturing facility : developing robust work plan to improve resources utilization and shorten production cycle time/
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
The boost of the need in semiconductor equipment has brought Varian, a giant in semiconductor manufacturer an increasing demand period. Unsatisfactory on-time delivery in the subassembly production in SMKT, however, has ...
Local versus global tables in Minimax Game Search
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Minimax Game Search with alpha-beta pruning can utilize heuristic tables in order to prune more branches and achieve better performance. The tables can be implemented using different memory models: global tables, worker-local ...
Development of MIT geospatial data to CityGML workflows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
BlindAid is a virtual environment system that helps blind people learn in advance about places they plan to visit. A core component of the BlindAid system is the actual set of virtual models that represent physical locations. ...
Electrical system for interfacing with muscle for use in prosthetic devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
A shortcoming of current prosthetic technology is the quality of afferent feedback to the user. Modern neural interfaces for powered prosthetic limbs do not provide their users with proprioception, the sense of the position ...
TactiForm : a touch sensitive actuated shape display as a dynamic interactive user interface for geospatial visual analytic systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Visual analytic systems that use real-time interactive interfaces enable effective problem solving and decision making by supporting intuitive data modelling, visualization, and analysis. In the oil and gas industry, these ...
SURGE : the Secure Cloud Storage and Collaboration Framework
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
SURGE is a Secure Cloud Storage and Collaboration Framework that is designed to be easy for application developers to use. The motivation is to allow application developers to mimic existing cloud based applications, but ...
Machine-vision assisted 3D printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
I augmented a 3D printer with software for a 3D scanning system in order to incorporate feedback into the printing process. After calibration of the scanning system and the printer, the 3D scanning system is capable of ...
Establishing a relative positioning system to achieve mobile localization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
There are an increasing number of situations in which the location of some digital device is known, but the methods to communicate with it are unknown. These situations can frustrate users and lead to the non-adoption to ...
