Development of Wrist Rehabilitation Device based on Coaxial Spherical Parallel 3RRR Mechanism by Shuaixu Ji, Yongguo Liang, Huimin Hao, Li'na Li, Jiahai Huang

“…In order to achieve the purpose of compact design，a design scheme of three-axis coaxial spherical parallel mechanism and synchronous belt transmission is adopted. On this basis，the inverse kinematics mathematical model of the wrist rehabilitation device is established，and the relationship between the motor input angle and the output pose of the robot end is obtained，and the robot working space is determined，the maximum angle of rotation around the <italic>X</italic> axis is 32°，the maximum angle of rotation around the <italic>Y</italic> axis is 37°，and the full rotation around the <italic>Z</italic> axis. …”

Research on Telecommunication System Business Security Architecture by Hong Li, Kai Qu

“…The concept of service security was thoroughly analyzed,and the generalized and narrow business security was proposed.The generalized business safety system was divided into five layers,and network security and safety requirements were defined,meanwhile the narrow business security was focused on the security of application layer,which was the concentration of the research.The security of application layer mainly includes two aspects:common vulnerabilities and loopholes in the service logic,which are defined and researched intensively.A security architecture against the security problem of the business-oriented system,and the security architecture taken as a better guideline for the design and implementation of business systems were proposed.…”
