Tactics to Tiny: Finding Your Way Home
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-31)This is a study of tiny homes and how they fit within the practical and theoretical framework of our regulatory housing system. It starts with a (much) smaller home but has social, political, financial and legal implications ... -
Tactile Haptics: A Study of Roughness Perception in Virtual Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-01)This thesis presents the design of a tactile device that can be used to display varying magnitudes of roughness. The device is designed to be attached to an existing force feedback device in order to create a package that ... -
Tags: Augmenting Microkernel Messages with Lightweight Metadata
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-15)In this work, we propose Tags, an e cient mechanism that augments microkernel interprocess messages with lightweight metadata to enable the development of new, systemwide functionality without requiring the modi cation ... -
Tailoring the Ignition and Reaction Properties of Cu2O Thermite Nanolaminates
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-05)Thermites are a class of energetic material that produce heat through an exothermic reaction, making them useful for welding, metal refining, and propulsion applications. Compared to traditional micron-scale thermite ... -
Tale of Two Cities
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-20)It was the best of cities, it was the worst of cities, it was a place of giddying boom, it was a place of economic despair, it was a utopia, it was a dystopic no-topia, it was the world centre of fantasies, and the world ... -
