As the electronic interconnection between chips, microbumps are crucial components in advanced packaging for the demand of better performance and higher packaging density. The height and coplanarity of microbumps are critical to ensure the reliability of connections. The poor uniformity in bump height will lead to disconnect or insufficient contact, which will directly result in the failure of the chip's function and a lower yield rate. In this paper, we proposed a height measurement method of microbumps using white-light triangulation combined with geometrical characteristics of bumps. A linear light projection module composed of a lens group and LED light source was set up as well as a high-quality imaging module consisting of a CCD camera and microscope objective group. The projection and imaging model of microbumps illuminated by the light plane at different positions during the scanning process was analyzed. The microbump height is computed from a simple formula based on the geometry of the specimen and the system configuration. The measurement results are compared with that obtained from a commercial optical profiler, and the measurement uncertainty is analyzed in detail.

Translocation across barriers and through constrictions is a mechanism that is often used in vivo for transporting material between compartments. A specific example is apicomplexan parasites invading host cells through the tight junction that acts as a pore, and a similar barrier crossing is involved in drug delivery using lipid vesicles penetrating intact skin. Here, we use triangulated membranes and energy minimization to study the translocation of vesicles through pores with fixed radii.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between body fat, motor skills, and physical fitness in children and adolescents.
Methods: 216 children and adolescents (143 males and 73 females, aged 5-15 years) from a social project composed this study. Body mass and height were measured to calculate the body mass index (BMI).

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine what demographic and anatomical variables affect successful placement of a superior medullary ramus screw, and how they affect the maximal diameter of that screw.
Methods: Design: Prognostic Level IV SETTING: Level I Trauma Center Patients/Participants: Two hundred consecutive patients underwent computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis. We included those patients aged 18 and older without osseous injury or abnormalities precluding measurement.

HIV-related mortality has fallen due to scale-up of antiretroviral therapy (ART), so more women living with HIV (WLH) now live to reach menopause. Menopausal estrogen loss causes bone loss, as do HIV and certain ART regimens. However, quantitative bone data from WLH are few in Africa.
