Design of a four-point seat-belt presenter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The ambition of this thesis was to design and prototype a seat-belt presenter of a four-point seat-belt system for the Lear Corporation. The seat-belt presenter designed is to be implemented in automobile seats in order ...
Compilation of a materials cost database for a web-based composites cost estimator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The production of composite materials continues to be an expensive process. The WEB-Based Cost Estimation Model enables one to approximate the cost of manufacturing composites, so as to assist the user in making sound ...
Cost benefit analysis of process change implementation : alternate wet cleaning technology in the semiconductor manufacturing industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Maintaining wafer surfaces free of contamination is an essential requirement for the successful fabrication of semiconductor devices. With the growing trend of increased device complexity and reduction of device feature ...
Relating size and spectral reflectance properties of S-type asteroids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
The spectral slopes of 701 S-type asteroids have been statistically shown to depend on asteroid size. The spectral reflectance data were taken during the second phase of the Small Main-belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey. ...
Thermal imaging of quenched microstructural evolution in steel alloys
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
A method was devised for quenching undercooled samples of Fe-12Cr-16Ni. The samples were levitated in a magnetic field as a way of containerless processing. They were dropped onto a nucleation trigger and then into a ...
Finite element modeling of the human eye
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
A three-dimensional finite element model was created to analyze the mechanical interactions between the various substructures within the human eye. During certain activities, mechanical interactions may lead to a resultant ...
Oxygen precipitate studies in silicon for gettering in solar cell applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Oxygen precipitates in silicon can be used (in a process called internal gettering) as sites of heterogeneous nucleation of precipitates of iron and other transition metal that are harmful to solar cell device operation. ...
A standard impact test procedure for football/hockey shoulder pads
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Umplementation of Mathematica® interface for DOME (Distributed Object-based Modeling Environment)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Fabrication of In₂(Se, Te)₃ chalcogenide thin films by thermal co-evaporation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
In₂(Se, Te)₃ III-VI chalcogenides belong to a unique class of phase change materials that have interesting optical and electrical properties, making them suitable for a wide variety of applications, including absorbers for ...
