Optimization in stochastic service systems with distinguishable servers.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975)
Application of CVD graphene in organic photovoltaics as transparent conducting electrodes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Graphene, a hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms forming a one-atom thick planar sheet, has gained much attention due to its remarkable physical properties. Apart from the micromechanical cleavage of highly ordered pyrolytic ...
Pulse-based ultra-wideband transmitters for digital communication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Ultra-wideband radio (UWB) is a rapidly developing wireless technology that promises unprecedented data rates for short-range commercial radios, combined with precise locationing and high energy efficiency. These benefits ...
Dynamic rate-control and scheduling algorithms for quality-of-service in wireless networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Rapid growth of the Internet and multimedia applications, combined with an increasingly ubiquitous deployment of wireless systems, has created a huge demand for providing enhanced data services over wireless networks. ...
High-density thermoelectric power generation and nanoscale thermal metrology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Thermoelectric power generation has been around for over 50 years but has seen very little large scale implementation due to the inherently low efficiencies and powers available from known materials. Recent material advances ...
Visual routines and attention
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Graphical models for visual object recognition and tracking
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
We develop statistical methods which allow effective visual detection, categorization, and tracking of objects in complex scenes. Such computer vision systems must be robust to wide variations in object appearance, the ...
Proactive techniques for correct and predictable Internet routing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The Internet is composed of thousands of autonomous, competing networks that exchange reachability information using an interdomain routing protocol. Network operators must continually reconfigure the routing protocols to ...
Electromagnetic scattering and induction models for spheroidal geometries
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Electromagnetic scattering from a medium containing randomly distributed discrete dielectric spheroidal inclusions is studied. Also, the broadband magnetoquasistatic solution for the induced magnetic field from a conducting ...
Design algorithms for parallel transmission in magnetic resonance imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The focus of this dissertation is on the algorithm design, implementation, and validation of parallel transmission technology in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Novel algorithms are proposed which yield excellent excitation ...
