PURPOSE: Percutaneous puncture is a common interventional procedure, and its effectiveness is influenced by the insertion force of the needle. To optimize outcomes, we focus on reducing the peak force of the needle in the skin, aiming to apply this m...
Locomotion on soft yielding grounds is more complicated and energetically demanding than on hard ground. Wet soft ground (such as mud or snow) is a particularly difficult substance because it dissipates energy when stepping and resists extrusion of t...
Early diagnosis and screening of tumor markers are essential for effective cancer treatment and improve the treatment efficiency and prognosis of tumor recurrence and metastasis. In this study, a split-ring resonator (SRR) circuit based on an interdi...

OBJECTIVE: Loss of resistance (LOR) is a widely accepted method for performing epidural punctures in clinical settings. However, the risk of failure associated with LOR is still high. Solutions based either on Fiber Bragg grating sensors (FBG) or on ...
BACKGROUND: The slewing crane is easily affected by the wind and the manipulation level of the operator when it is working, which in turn impacts its swing angle, affects the working efficiency and safety of the crane.
