Software patch comparison technology through semantic analysis on function by Yan CAO, Long LIU, Yu WANG, Qingxian WANG

“…Patch comparison provides support for software vulnerability,and structural comparison has been developed.Based on summarizing binary files comparison and anti-comparison methods,comparison technology was proposed by semantic analysis on function to address the issue that structural comparison cannot carry on semantic analysis.Through traditional structural comparison,syntax differences in function-level were analyzed to find the maximum common subgraph.Then,the path cluster was built between the input and output of the function depend on program dependency analysis.Function output characteristics was established based on symbolic execution.Semantic differences of functions were compared by functional summaries.Based on the maximum isomorphic subgraph,the matched functions which there are possible semantic changes between was further analyzed.Ultimately,the experimental results showed the feasibility and advantages of the proposed method.…”

Cycloid Gear Profile Modification based on Elliptical Method by Chen Zhilong, Wang Jun, Qin Zhengzheng, Zhao Daxing, Wang Quan

“…Under the circumstance of keeping the short coefficient and the eccentricity constant,the contour line of the modified tooth profile is obtained by the elliptical crocheting of the standard theoretical contour line,and the expression of the equation is deduced. Compared with the commonly used method of tooth profile modification,the modified tooth profile curve is much closer to the complete conjugate tooth profile on the main meshing areas,and the meshing clearance between the cycloid wheel and the pin wheel can be made adjustment by controlling the shape parameters of the ellipse,which is simple and flexible. …”
