Direct sums of J-rings and radical rings by Xiuzhan Guo

“…We prove that if R satisfies (∗) given x, y in R there exist integers m=m(x,y)>1 and n=n(x,y)>1 such that xmy=xyn and if each x∈R is the sum of a potent element and a nilpotent element, then N and P are ideals and R=N⊕P. We also prove that if R satisfies (∗) and if each x∈R has a representation in the form x=a+u, where a∈P and u∈J(R) ,then P is an ideal and R=J(R)⊕P.…”

Universal composable threshold signature by HONG Xuan1, CHEN Ke-fei2, LI Qiang2

“…Threshold signature allowed any subset of t parties generating a signature,but that disallowed the creation of a valid signature if fewer than t parties participate in the protocol.Since the security of threshold signature was only con-sidered in a single instance before,the universal composability framework was introduced.The framework with its secu-rity preserving composition property allowed for modular design and analysis of the threshold signature.The defined ideal functionality of threshold signature is proved equals to the standard security notion of threshold signature.Further-more,how to applying the ideal functionality is described.The proposed threshold signature protocol and proactive threshold signature protocol are not only provably secure,but also universally composable.…”

Active Design Technology of Pinion Surface for Aviation Spiral Bevel Gear based on Actual Condition by Chen Guangyan, Wang Jinhua, Cai Xiangwei

“…In actual conditions,because of the deformation of the box,bearings,shafts and gears in a helicopter reducer,the existence of installation error,manufacturing error and random error,the influence of temperature and vibration,the spiral bevel gear produces misalignment,and they destroyed the ideal meshing condition. The misalignment causes the contact pattern to deviate from the ideal position,at the same time,the transmission error curve also changes,which result in the irregular running,vibration,shock of gear set.Therefore,according to the deviation of the contact pattern to identify the equivalent misalignment,feed it into the tooth surface design,this technology has important engineering significance for improving the meshing quality of gear pair under actual conditions.…”
