Dynamic Modelling and Experimental Investigation of an Active–Passive Variable Stiffness Actuator by Caidong Wang, Zhou Zhang, Yanqiu Xiao, Pengfei Gao, Xiaoli Liu

“…To overcome the limitations imposed by the low flexible angle of conventional robots, an active–passive variable stiffness elastic actuator (APVSA) is investigated and a nonlinear dynamic model for the APVSA is established, considering the factors of the moment of inertia, stiffness and damping of elastic elements, meshing stiffness of gear systems, nonlinear backlash, nonlinear meshing damping, and comprehensive transmission error. …”

Short-term variability in ocular biometry and the impact of preoperative dry eye by Sanghyuk Ahn, Youngsub Eom, Jong Suk Song, Dong Hyun Kim

“…A decreased TBUT and increased CSS were significantly associated with high variability (≥ 0.25D) of mean K (p = 0.040/0.008). The high K variability group (≥ 0.25D) revealed a significantly higher incidence of refractive surprise (> 0.5D) compared with the low K variability group (< 0.25D) (45.5%/17.9%, p = 0.037). …”
