Facilitating low level human supervisory control of mission management is highly challenging because of concerns regarding system stability and performance. Previous implementations of mission managers based on C. S. Draper ...

A low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator for low-power applications is designed without an external capacitor for compensation. The regulator has two stages, the first a folded cascode amplifier and the second a large pass ...

Secret sharing schemes are needed to store and protect secrets in large scale distributed systems. These schemes protect a secret by dividing the it into shares and distributing the shares to multiple shareholders. This ...

Alan Touring, the Campus Tourbot, is a robotic tour-guide/tourist robot for parts of the MIT campus. Work on the robot began in January 2006, and for the past 31 months, I have devoted thousands of hours to designing, ...

Advancements in the CMOS Image Sensor have enabled very high-performance, high resolution imaging systems to be built at relatively low cost. The availability of high-pixel count video imaging systems that can cover a wide ...

The Shared Memory System (SMS) for Fresh Breeze, a multiprocessor chip guided by modular programming principles, provides a global space from which all the fresh breeze processors access chunks of memory. The SMS supports ...

The goal of this work is to explore a potential improvement on a visual recognition system. The system is a biologically-plausible computational model of the feedforward part of the ventral stream in the visual cortex and ...

In this thesis, I implemented an FPGA version of an algorithm used in the deduplication of backup storage data, to compare its performance to a software implementation of the algorithm. This algorithm flags sections of ...

This Master of Engineering Thesis describes the design, implementation and testing of an XML binding framework for the RFID Low Level Reader Protocol (LLRP). LLRP is a recently released protocol which standardizes the ...

This thesis describes the multi-channel coded-aperture photography, a modified camera system that can extract an all-focus image of the scene along with a depth estimate over the scene. The modification consists of inserting ...
