Design and development of high precision elastomeric-stamp wrapping system for roll-to-roll multi-layer microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Microcontact printing is an emerging printing technique that could potentially find application in the electronics industry. High-speed roll-to-roll equipment was built at Nano Terra, Inc in 2008, for microcontact printing. ...
High-speed modulation of resonant CMOS photonic modulators in deep-submicron bulk-CMOS
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Processor manufacturers have turned to parallelism to continue to improve processor performance, and the bandwidth demands of these systems have risen. Silicon photonics can lower the energy-per-bit of core-to-core and ...
Faster generation of random spanning trees
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
In this thesis, we set forth a new algorithm for generating approximately uniformly random spanning trees in undirected graphs. We show how to sample from a distribution that is within a multiplicative (1+6) of uniform in ...
An optical data receiver for integrated photonic interconnects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The throughput bounds of traditional interconnect networks in microprocessors are being pushed to their limits. In past single-core processors, the number of long global wires constituted only a small fraction of the total. ...
Architectural disruption in aerospace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Distinctive technology and customer / supplier relationships are currently the primary sources of competitive advantage in the Aerospace industry. Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) requirements represent a significant ...
Insurgent strategies for creating inimitability within mature digital ecosystems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Rich software application functionality once constrained to the desktop is now available via the World Wide Web (WWW) with the introduction of emergent Web2.0 technologies. Leveraging the Softwareas- a-service (SaaS) model, ...
Enhancing the systems decision process with flexibility analysis for optimal unmanned aircraft system selection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Systems Engineers often conduct decision analysis in order to provide decision makers with a quantifiable means to make decisions. However, the field of Systems Engineering is often criticized for focusing on processes and ...
System development & validation process for emerging growing organizations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This thesis has the main purpose of presenting the Development and Validation phase of the product development system from the point of view of an emerging and growing product development organization, denoting the obstacles ...
Forecasting the S&P 500 index using time series analysis and simulation methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The S&P 500 represents a diverse pool of securities in addition to Large Caps. A range of audiences are interested in the S&P 500 forecasts including investors, speculators, economists, government and researchers. The ...
Unintended effects of federal transportation policy: a look at the lifecycle costs of the interstate system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The federal surface transportation program in the United States stands at a crossroads. Short on money and lacking vision, the program is in need of reevaluation and reform. This thesis attempts to illustrate the current ...
