The internal gear grease pump is a mechanical device used for transfer of high viscosity fluid.The existing clearance between the end faces of the internal or external gear and the floating side plate might cause pump leakage during operation.In order to obtain the optimal end clearance of the internal gear grease pump, the rheological features of
Vascular Space Occupancy (VASO) is an alternative fMRI approach based on changes in Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV).VASO-CBV fMRI can provide higher spatial specificity than the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) method because the CBV response is thought to be limited to smaller vessels.To investigate how this technique compares 3m to BOLD fMRI
