In this paper, a high-accuracy measurement method for rotor-stator axial clearance in narrow spaces is proposed. The optical path structure based on all-fiber microwave photonic mixing is established. To improve the accuracy and expand the measurement range, the total coupling efficiency over the entire measurement range at different working distances of fiber probe was evaluated by Zemax analysis tool and theoretical model. The performance of the system was verified by experiments. The experimental results show that the measurement accuracy of axial clearance is better than 10.5 um within the range of 0.5-20.5 mm. The measurement accuracy has been effectively improved compared to previous methods. Additionally, the probe size is reduced to a mere diameter of 2.78 mm, which is more suitable for axial clearance measurement in narrow spaces inside rotating machines.

Background: This study investigated the impact of higher interfragmentary compression force (IFCF) on the stability of locking plate fixation in lateral tibial plateau fractures.
Methods: Biomechanical experiments and finite element analysis (FEA) were employed to compare the performance of the AO cancellous lag screw (AOCLS) and a newly developed combined cancellous lag screw (CCLS).
Results: The results demonstrated that the CCLS provided a higher IFCF without the risk of over-screwing, significantly improving fixation stability.

Background: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EP-TB) constitutes one-fifth of all tuberculosis (TB) cases. EP-TB mimics common infections which pose diagnostic dilemma, requires extensive diagnostics that culminate into therapeutic delay often resulting in irrational and empirical institution of antitubercular therapy (ATT) in challenging cases. This supplemented by poor treatment compliance resulted in emergence of Drug-resistant (DR) strains of EP-TB which further impedes the path to recovery.

The axial misalignment and tip clearance of the double spiral seals are important indexes affecting the sealing performance of the double spiral seals. In practical engineering applications, the sealing ability of double spiral seals is greatly affected by axial misalignment and tip clearance, and the coupling of assembly parameters and structural parameters of double spiral seals leads to the difficulty of seal design and use. A numerical model of spiral seals was established, and the velocity field, pressure field and critical sealing ability of double spiral seals were simulated and calculated.

Heart failure is among the most widespread diseases globally. With the rapid rise in the number of affected individuals and the significant disparity between organ demand and supply, the relevance of implantable devices has grown each year. However, these devices face various regulatory restrictions, and obtaining approval requires outstanding performance.
