Research of Feature Extraction and Fault Diagnosis Method of Gear Crack by Li Haiping, Zhao Jianmin, Wu Qingtian, Liu Yang

“…Gears are the most essential parts in rotating machinery,its health status is a significant index to indicate whether machines can run continually or not.So,an automatical and accuracy way for gear early stage fault diagnosis is very important in engineering practice.A novel gear fault diagnosis method based on Euclidean distance technique（EDT）is proposed.The energies of frequency bands are used as the fault feature paramdter in this method.Then,the euclidean distance between the test sample and each health status are calculated through the matrix which consist of the energy values.The class which is the test sample belongs is decided by the minimum distance value.The effectiveness of this methodology is demonstrated using an experiment conducted on a real gearbox.The results show that EDT can diagnose the gear crack fault with a higher accuracy rate than other similar method.As the same time,band energy is a sensitive feature parameter in gear crack fault diagnosis and can be used later.…”

Design Method of Crank-rocker Mechanism based on Maximum Value of Minimum Transmission Angle by Chen Haiwen, Wang Zhong, Zhao Fei

“…Under the conditions of giving the length of the rocker CD,swinging angle φ and advance-to return-time ratio K（extreme position angle θ）,in order to design crank-rocker mechanism with the maximum value of minimum transmission angle γmin,the supplementary angle β（be used to determine the position angle of the rotation center A of crank） is introduced,the function relation of minimum transmission angle γminand the supplementary angle β is established.Then the maximum value of minimum transmission angle γmincan be obtained by utilizing procedure of Matlab.At the same time,in view of the different K value,the mechanism of type selection is classified.Then,points out the typeⅠ and Ⅱmechanism can be used to design and typeⅠ mechanism is better in force-passing property when K ∈（1,3）.When K∈[3,+ ∞),if type Ⅱ mechanism is used to carry on the design,which will not be able to meet the requirement of the rocker swinging angle,if typeⅠ mechanism is used,which has low efficiency and is not conductive to transmission of the mechanism.…”

Dignity in The Remains of the Day from the Lens of Ontology, Ethics, and Liberalism by Sareh Khosravi

“…This analysis draws on Kant's focus on good will as the basis of moral behaviour, proposing that although Stevens demonstrates a significant sense of duty and follows rules closely, he lacks the essential moral consciousness necessary for genuinely ethical conduct. The protagonist’s actions, though ethically sound within his specific social context, are ultimately driven by a desire to maintain a rigid, hierarchical order. …”
