Design and Analysis of the Elastic Torsion Shafting in Split Torque Transmission System of Cylindrical Gear by Pan Lei, Zhu Rupeng, Jin Guanghu, Ren Wei

“…According to the design pattern,two analysis models of elastic torsion shafting and split torque transmission system with elastic torsion shafting are established with Romax.A study on characteristic of force transmission and load sharing of elastic torsion shafting is carried out.The modal analysis is also carried out for split torque transmission system with elastic torsion shafting.The study results show that the main flexible shaft is subjected to torque but not influenced by bending moment.The elastic torsion shafting has better characteristic of load sharing than common duplicate gear shaft.The running condition of system with elastic torsion shafting is out of resonance region.The study results are a theoretical guide for engineering design and dynamic analysis of this split-torque transmission system.…”

Design models of secret reconstruction towards rational users by Hai LIU, Youliang TIAN, Ying TANG, Jianbing Ni, Jianfeng MA

“…Rational Secret Reconstruction is an intersection between traditional secret reconstruction and game theory, which aims to restrict the selfish behaviors of rational users, making both of them obtain the secret in real applications.However, when directly adopting the existing rational secret reconstruction protocols, it is infeasible to realize the fair secret reconstruction.More seriously, an extreme situation may rise, which is some users regard a fake secret as the real one.The crucial reason is that, due to lack of design models, the protocol designers cannot completely consider their selfish behaviors when rational users participate in secret reconstruction.To solve that problem, through the formalizations of rational users and rational secret reconstruction game, the influences of rational users’ action order and their chosen strategies about the fair secret reconstruction were analyzed, and then, three design models for the different scenarios, including purely user rational scenario, reputation-based scenario and trusted user-based scenario, were proposed respectively.Theoretical analysis demonstrates that, the proposed models can help the designers restrict rational users’ selfishness effectively, thereby guiding the designers to devise the fair rational secret reconstruction protocols.Additionally, under the guidance of the proposed models, a fair rational secret reconstruction protocol was devised, which indicated that the proposed models were usable.…”

Selected features of Philippine English pronunciation among three groups of Ilocano speakers by L. I Haloc, S. N Dita

“…The target pronunciation for analysis included the vowels /i/, /ɪ/, /ɛ/, and /e/, and the consonant pair /θ/ and /ð/, and two suprasegmental features: lexical stress and the intonation of question forms. To a certain extent, the findings were consistent with Llamzon's (1969) and Tayao’s (2004) findings on the features of Philippine English pronunciation. …”

Consumer Boredom: Boredom as a Subliminal Mood of Consumer Capitalism by Mariusz Finkielsztein

“…The article poses the thesis that boredom is the main driving force of the consumer capitalist system. Through a sequence of social and cultural shifts and freeloading on natural human predispositions, the system has manufactured a new type of being, homo consumens, who is socialized to be passive, desire- and dream-driven, and addicted to novelty, constant change, a ceaseless stream of stimuli, and pleasure. …”

Mode Analysis of Degree of Freedom of a New Bifurcation Parallel Mechanism by Song Wei, Xu Yong, Liu Yong, Lü Yeping, Liang Zheng

“…A new bifurcated single-loop closed-chain configuration URRC is proposed.This single-loop closed-chain has two degrees of freedom modes.A bifurcated parallel mechanism is obtained by combining series branch PRRP with bifurcated single-loop closed chain to form a hybrid branch chain and connecting the moving platform and fixed platform with three parallel branches.Through the combination of different modes of single-loop closed-chain，the parallel mechanisms of 3T3R，3T，2R1TⅠ，2R1TⅡ and 1R2T with five DOF modes are obtained.The correctness of the five DOF modes of the bifurcated parallel mechanism and the rationality of driving selection are proved by screw theory analysis.…”
