Analysis of system wide distortion in an integrated power system utilizing a high voltage DC bus and silicon carbide power devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This research investigates the distortion on the electrical distribution system for a high voltage DC Integrated Power System (IPS). The analysis was concentrated on the power supplied to a propulsion motor driven by an ...
Robotic compensation of cerebellar ataxia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
The cerebellum is believed to play a role in dynamic compensation in the human motor control system. When it is damaged, subjects make clumsy movements with reduced acceleration, increased overshoot, and swerving in ...
The Active Wave-front Sampling based 3D endoscope
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis investigates the potential of Active Wave-front Sampling (AWS) for real time quantified 3D endoscopy. AWS is a technique by which phase information from an aperture area of a lens is obtained by sampling ...
Cooperative tracking for persistent littoral undersea surveillance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
The US Navy has identified a need for an autonomous, persistent, forward deployed system to Detect, Classify, and Locate submarines. In this context, we investigate a novel method for multiple sensor platforms acting ...
A two-phase spherical electric machine for generating rotating uniform magnetic fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis describes the design and construction of a novel two-phase spherical electric machine that generates rotating uniform magnetic fields, known as a fluxball machine. Alternative methods for producing uniform ...
