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 ...
Magnetic properties of an isolated quantum dot
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
A microfabricated solid oxide fuel cell
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
With the ever-increasing ubiquity of mobile consumer electronic devices comes the rising demand for portable electric power. Current battery technology gives a very modest energy return per weight or volume. Hydrocarbons ...
Instrumentation and algorithms for electrostatic inverse problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
This thesis describes tracking objects with low-level electric fields. A physical model is presented that describes the important interactions and the required mathematical inversions. Sophisticated hardware used to perform ...
Cavity filtered injection locking for large angle atomic interferometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Finite-difference time-domain analysis of horn antenna scattering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
A Lorentz-force actuated controllable needle-free drug delivery system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The advantages of delivering injections via needle-free methods are numerous. However, conventional methods for needle-free injection lack sufficient control over depth of penetration and shape of injection. Thus, a ...
Feasibility studies for quantum computation with spectral hole burning media
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
In this thesis I consider a scheme for quantum computation in which quantum bits (qubits) are stored in individual spectral holes of an in homogeneously broadened medium, such as a cryogenically cooled crystal of Pr:Y2 SiO ...
Protection and fusing in advanced automotive electrical environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Production of holographic optical interconnection elements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
