Owing to the excellent performance, the generalized cross-spring flexure pivots (GCSFP), formed by two symmetric crossing leaves at an arbitrary position along the radial direction, had been widely used in precision instruments. However, the accuracy of GCSFPs is lower than the required one for some ultra-precision instruments. Especially for the large angles, the axis drift of GCSFPs cannot be ignored. By adding a spring to a GCSFP, a novel flexure pivot, which called generalized triple-cross-spring flexure pivot (GTCSFP), can be obtained. Finite element analysis shows that GTCSFPs can achieve ultra-high precision. The axis drift is less than 0.3 μm for a ±10° motion range. Several prototypes of GTCSFP were designed and manufactured. Rotational stiffness, radial stiffness, axial stiffness, axis drift, temperature drift, and fatigue life were measured. The result shows that GTCSFPs have many advantages, such as high precision, long service life, large movement range, and high off-axis/axial stiffness ratio. Thus, GTCSFPs have potential applications in the field of precision instruments.

Polarization multispectral imaging has advanced significantly due to its robust information representation capability. Imaging application requires rigorous simulation evaluation and experimental validation using standardized datasets. However, the current full-Stokes polarization multispectral images (FSPMI) dataset, while providing simulation data, is limited by image drift and spectral bands.

Background: Current mainstream cardiovascular magnetic resonance-feature tracking (CMR-FT) methods, including optical flow and pairwise registration, often suffer from the drift effect caused by accumulative tracking errors. Here, we developed a CMR-FT method based on deformable groupwise registration with a locally low-rank (LLR) dissimilarity metric to improve myocardial tracking and strain estimation accuracy.
Methods: The proposed method, Groupwise-LLR, performs feature tracking by iteratively updating the entire displacement field across all cardiac phases to minimize the sum of the patchwise signal ranks of the deformed movie.

A drift-diffusion model is used to investigate the effect of device degradation on current-voltage and impedance measurements of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Modifications are made to the open-source drift-diffusion software IonMonger to model degradation via an increasing recombination rate during the course of characterization experiments. Impedance spectroscopy is shown to be a significantly more sensitive measure of degradation than current-voltage curves, reliably detecting a power conversion efficiency drop of as little as 0.
