Optimization of kitting operations for an automated microelectronics assembly process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Raytheon's Solid-State Microwave (SSM) manufacturing area produces a low-volume, high mix assortment of Microwave Integrated Circuits (MIC) for airborne radars. The current kitting process for pick-and-place assembly is ...
Wide-span cable structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
In recent years, the application of cable structures in buildings has gained huge popularities. Although cable technology has been established since the 1950s, there is suddenly a surge in the number of its building ...
Design trends of tall building in Hong Kong
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Hong Kong, located at the southern tip of China, is well known as one of the important financial capitals in Asia. As a result, high demand of space is required. With improving building technology, buildings in Hong Kong ...
Short-term rainfall prediction using a multifractal model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This study develops a method to predict multifractal measure of temporal rainfall intensity by using Kalman filter, and gives some examples of prediction for generated rainfall. The model for the rainfall generation proposed ...
Modeling carbon dioxide particle releases in the deep ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
This work investigates the environmental impacts of releasing solid CO₂ hydrate particles into the deep ocean for the purpose of CO₂ sequestration. Release of CO₂ in this form may be desirable as hydrate particles are ...
A taxonomy and analysis of web wrapping technologies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Web wrapping technologies were developed in the 90s in the middle of the dot com boom to facilitate the extraction of web data. In recent years, the underlying architecture of web wrapping technologies is also been used ...
Modeling airline passenger choice : passenger preference for schedule in the passenger origin-destination simulator (PODS)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This thesis examines how to model the choice of individual travelers among various possible travel alternatives in the airline industry. A review of the models used to represent that choice situation in the Passenger ...
Evaluation of coordinated and local ramp metering algorithm using microscopic traffic simulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Ramp meters are special traffic signals at the end of a freeway on-ramp that regulate the flow of traffic onto the mainline. The main purpose of ramp meters is to keep the mainline of the freeway from becoming overly ...
Use of fiber reinforced polymer composite in bridge structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Fiber reinforced polymer composite (FRP) is a new construction material, gradually gaining acceptance from civil engineers. Bridge engineering is among the fields in civil engineering benefiting from the introduction of ...
Comparison of environmental impacts of steel and concrete as building materials using the Life Cycle Assessment method
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
In the United States, the construction industry accounts for almost 75% of total raw material used. This is an obvious drain on natural resources and has a major impact on the surrounding environment. Construction materials ...
