We demonstrated an optical two-way time transfer scheme in the outdoor free-space link using a simple complex programmable logic device-based serial time coder/decoder. With this scheme, we have transferred a 100 Hz signal with time information over a 120-m outdoor atmospheric link. The time drift, time deviation, and frequency instability are all measured to estimate the quality of the transferred time signal during the transfer process. Within 11 h, the experimental result shows that the total root-mean-square time drift is about 81 ps, with the time deviation of 70 ps at 1-s averaging time and down to 10 ps above 100-s averaging time. The calculation shows that the fractional frequency instability of the transmission link is on the order of 1.4 × 10 at 1 s and of 3.0 × 10 at 10 000 s. The time deviation and frequency instability for the optical two-way time transfer are superior to those of the Global Positioning System (GPS)-based time transfer method, which implies the technique proposed in this paper is able to be directly used in high-precision time transfer over atmospheric links in a short distance.

This article introduces a surgical technique for cross-intrinsic transfers (CIT) to correct ulnar drift in rheumatoid hands performed under wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT). This approach allows real-time adjustment of tendon transfer tension and active patient participation in hand movements and deformity correction during the procedure. It can be combined with other surgeries such as prosthetic replacement arthroplasties of the MCP joints.

Objectives: To explore the experiences and perceptions of young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) after they transferred care from a pediatric to an adult clinic, utilizing an organized transfer process that included a Diabetes Transition Clinic (DTC) and a transfer letter (TL).

Methods: This retrospective study used a semi-structured interview 1-1.5 years after transfer of care, which gathered both quantitative and qualitative data of young adults (n=12) who transferred care at an average age of 19.

Due to the growing interest in X-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI), the development of XPCI simulators has become an active field of research. Efficient computer simulations are a prime tool for optimizing the XPCI setup and acquisition process. In addition to phase contrast, modern XPCI setups provide insight into the unresolvable sample micro structure distribution through the dark field signal.

In this study, we developed terahertz (THz) metamaterial devices with attenuated total reflection (ATR) geometries for biosensing applications. This was achieved by transferring the metamaterial patterns fabricated on a polyimide film to a prism-top surface. We characterized the resonance characteristics of metasurfaces for different THz wave polarizations and gap structure orientations in the metamaterials.
