Interdigital dielectrometry sensor design and parameter estimation algorithms for non-destructive materials evaluation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The major objective of this thesis is to develop instrumentation and parameter estimation algorithms for nondestructive measurement of non-homogeneous material property profiles with fringing electric field dielectrometry ...
Optical frequency division via periodically-poled-LiNbO₃-based nonlinear optics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Development of intersubband terahertz lasers using multiple quantum well structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
This thesis describes an experimental and theoretical effort in developing intersubband THz lasers using multiple-quantum-well structures. Scarcity of compact solid state sources in this frequency range, and to demonstrate ...
Sub-50nm x-ray lithography with application to a coupled quantum dot device
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Utility assessment based on individualized patient perspectives
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The feasibility of using the terminology of the individual patient to capture and express the individual's particular, perhaps unique, value system for healthiness is explored as a means to evaluate the quality of life. ...
Control of infinite dimensional systems using finite dimensional techniques : a systematic approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1990)
Determining distributed source waveforms in casual, lossy, dispersive, plane-wave (CLDP) materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
This thesis presents and employs novel mathematics for the inversion of linear, first-kind Fredholm integral equations (IEs) which have a time t dependent response signal, a space z dependent source waveform, and a kernel ...
Characterizing and recognizing spoken corrections in human-computer dialog
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Miscommunication in human-computer spoken language systems is unavoidable. Recognition failures on the part of the system necessitate frequent correction attempts by the user. Unfortunately and counterintuitively, users' ...
A distributed control network for a mobile robotics platform
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
Penelope--the Story Weaver
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
