A machine for tribological experimentation on indexing continuous media with specific application to semiconductor testing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Technology was developed to facilitate electrical contact tribology experiments on continuous media, dramatically reducing the difficulty of employing virgin material for each test. Specifically, a tester was designed to ...
Development of the process parameter map for reference free part encapsulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Methods for self-fabrication chips
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Pathways for mechanotransduction in pressurized airway epithelial cells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The development of a high cooling and low ultimate temperature three stage superfluid Stirling refrigerator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Rough-terrain mobile robot planning and control with application to planetary exploration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Future planetary exploration missions will require mobile robots to perform difficult tasks in highly challenging terrain, with limited human supervision. Current motion planning and control algorithms are not well suited ...
Design for Assembly (DFA) analysis and application for cold-gas thrusters of a space re-entry vehicle module
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Design for Assembly (DFA) is a way of analyzing and designing, or redesigning, a product from the perspective of assembly in order to reduce cost and increase reliability and quality. A review was performed on the design ...
Development of integrated actuation technology for composite rotocraft structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Design of an automated on-car brake lathe
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
An on-car brake lathe resurfaces disk-brake rotors by rotating them "in place" and making a light cut along the surface of the disk. The primary goal of this thesis is to develop an automated cutting head for an on-car ...
Frequency response of human skin in vivo to mechanical stimulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The frequency-dependent response of human skin was measured, in vivo, to mechanical stimulation at a scale useful in the development of tactile displays. Sinusoidal vibration stimuli of varying frequencies and amplitudes ...
