Enabling collaboration in the sketching domain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Sketching, although deceptively simple and seemingly primitive, is a powerful paradigm for designing and understanding many types of engineering systems. Many problem domains, such as designing electrical circuits, developing ... -
Enabling Compositional Generalization of AI Systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)A vital aspect of human intelligence is the ability to compose increasingly complex concepts out of simpler ideas, enabling both rapid learning and adaptation of knowledge. Despite their impressive performance, current AI ... -
Enabling Configurable, Extensible, and Modular Network Stacks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Modern networks and the applications that use them are increasingly specialized; each application increasingly uses a bespoke network stack which integrates desired protocols, services, and APIs. This thesis will describe ... -
Enabling Contactless Sleep Studies at Home using Wireless Signals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)Sleep studies help doctors diagnose a variety of sleep-related disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea. Most disorders can be managed once they are correctly diagnosed. However, sleep studies usually introduce discomfort ... -
Enabling cultural shifts : an enterprise approach toward lean thinking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The Supply Planning Operations team, in a large manufacturing firm, faced a future where their complexity of scope was increasing without an increase in resource levels. As an effort to improve both efficiency and effectively ... -
Enabling dedicated single-cycle connections over a shared network-on-chip
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Adding multiple processing cores on the same chip has become the de facto design choice as we continue extracting more and more performance/watt from our chips in every technology generation. In this context, the interconnect ... -
Enabling diagnostics in user interfaces for CAD applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Computer aided design (CAD) applications such as Autodesk Civil 3D allow the user to specify design constraints for a number of common geometries. These applications typically prompt the user for the required constraints ... -
Enabling Disruptive Innovations in High Growth Organizations when Architecting an Enterprise
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Enterprises continue to push their organizations to enable disruptive innovation discovery to be at the forefront of new markets and to ensure the existing their existing products are not disrupted. Being at the forefront ... -
Enabling effective lifecycle management of manufacturing facilities with enhanced decision making processes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)As a global manufacturing company, Company X has built up an extensive and varied portfolio of manufacturing facilities. These facilities vary greatly in capability, age, and performance. This creates difficulties in ... -
Enabling effective product launch decisions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The present work looks into the question of optimizing the performance of product launch decisions-in particular, the decisions of product development duration and manufacturing ramp-up. It presents an innovative model for ... -
Enabling Efficient Uncertainty Quantification of Turbulent Combustion Simulations via Kinetic Dimension Reduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Propagating uncertainties in kinetic models through combustion simulations can provide important metrics on the reliability and accuracy of a model, but remains a challenging and numerically expensive problem especially ... -
Enabling energy efficiency for low-income housing in Developing countries using MIT Design Advisor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)There is a great need to improve energy efficiency of low-income housing, since people who can afford it least have to pay a significant portion of their income to make their homes more habitable or else live with greater ... -
Enabling environments : people, wheelchairs and standards
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)Designing environments to accommodate people in wheelchairs is far more than ramps and wide toilet stalls built according to the state building code. This study attempts to illuminate the functional imperatives behind ... -
Enabling fast flexible planning through incremental temporal reasoning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)In order for a team of autonomous agents to successfully complete its mission, the agents must be able to quickly re-plan on the fly as unforeseen events arise in the environment. This requires temporally flexible plans ... -
Enabling Growth in a Middle-Market Job Shop Environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)No single playbook can be a universal template for success. Each corporation is a living entity, complete with a history, context, culture, market, and group of people that make it up. Understanding the needs of the business ... -
Enabling HF power conversion : magnetic components and a wide voltage range converter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)High frequency switching in power converters offers the benefits of high power density and faster transient response; however, high frequency losses have limited efforts to increase frequency into the HF (3-30 MHz) regime. ... -
Enabling high-quality untethered virtual reality
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Today's virtual reality (VR) headsets require a cable connection to a PC or game console. This cable significantly limits the player's mobility and, hence, her VR experience. The high data rate requirement of this link ... -
Enabling high-throughput single-cell growth measurements with parallel microchannel resonators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Single cells constitute a fundamental unit of biological organization, yet most laboratory techniques are unable to characterize single cell behavior and instead measure average properties of many thousands of cells. Among ... -
Enabling housing : dwelling + home + domesticity; typology + specificity + site; chaos + complexity + control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)This thesis explores housing through the filter of enabling, an Elizabethan word which has come to be associated with inhabitant empowerment. It proposes the existence of basic cultural, economic and constructional as well ... -
Enabling human-robot cooperation in scientific exploration of bandwidth-limited environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Contemporary scientific exploration most often takes place in highly remote and dangerous environments, such as in the deep sea and on other planets. These environments are very hostile to humans, which makes robotic ...
