The radiographic diagnosis of typical Stafne bone cavity could be done easily with cyst-like round or oval radiolucency near the angle of the mandible, under mandibular canal with or without involving mandibular base, and no symptoms. However there are some atypical cases suggesting possible variations of this entity. We report a quite unusual case, where Stafne bone cavity was lastly included in the differential diagnosis list. Histological examination of salivary gland tissues confirmed the final diagnosis.

In this study, a mathematical model for a thermal analysis of a flat heat pipe with a grooved wick structure is presented. The effects of the liquid-vapor interfacial shear stress, the contact angle, and the amount of liquid charge have been included in the proposed model. In particular, the axial variations of the wall temperature and the evaporation/condensation rates are considered by solving the one-dimensional conduction and the augmented Young-Laplace equations, respectively. In order to verify the model, the results obtained from the model are compared to existing experimental data.

This paper proposes a dc error compensation algorithm using dq-synchronous coordinate transform digital phase-locked-loop in single-phase grid-connected converters. The dc errors are caused by analog to digital conversion and grid voltage during measurement. If the dc offset error is included in the phase-locked-loop system, it can cause distortion in the grid angle estimation with phase-locked-loop. Accordingly, recent study has dealt with the integral technique using the synchronous reference frame phase-locked-loop method. However, dynamic response is slow because it requires to monitor one period of grid voltage. In this paper, the dc offset error compensation algorithm of the improved response characteristic is proposed by using the synchronous reference frame phase-locked-loop. The simulation and the experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed dc offset error compensation algorithm.

Ectopic cervical thymic tissue is rarely reported in medical literature, but it should be included in the differential diagnosis of neck masses, especially in children. It occurs in the line of descent of the thymus from the angle of the mandible to the superior mediastinum. A preoperative diagnosis is seldom considered and is often misdiagnosed as a possible tumor or a lymph node. We present a case of a 2-month-old infant with an asymptomatic enlarging right neck mass. Patient underwent complete excision of the mass.

Air entrainment of a winding roll with a nip roller was studied numerically. The amount of air entrainment between two rotating rollers was obtained by solving lubrication equation, Reynolds equation, which neglect the existence of a web. However, the numerical model of this study included the web existence, therefore it considered the two lubricating air films between a winding roll and a web and also between a nip roller and the web. The pressure profiles and gap profiles of the two films were obtained by solving lubrication equation for the two air films and force balance equation of the web. Ballooning phenomenon was examined in terms of nip force, wrap angle, web stiffness, web speed, and web tension. This ballooning phenomenon caused by the back flow of the air film blocked by the nip roller. Air entrainment of the two numerical models was compared.

The purpose of this study is to develope a linear feeder for uniform transportation of grains and to present its design guide line. so, It is measured the displacement of the front and rear aspect of the feeder in time domain. And the measured time signal is represented to the plane coordinate. From this process, it is presented the motion of the feeder in a harmonic excited condition. Also, It is determined whether translation motion or rotation motion. From these course, it is defined the optimized dynamic motion for uniform transportation of grains. It is included a ratio of the displacement and the angle which the dynamic motion between the front and rear aspect of the feeder.

A three water-intake structure designed to built along the right bank of the Missouri River near Chesterfield, Missouri was model-tested at an undistorted scale of 1:5. Although the discharge capacity of each of six pumps to be installed is only 21,000 gpm, the model indicated strong flow circuation and unstable free-surface conditions as flow entered the two-pump bay through a narrow sluice opening at an angle. Strong free-surface vartices were also observed in the model. The sump modifications developed in the study included an array of baffle bars, a perforated plate, floor splitters, and floor-corner fillets. The solutions developed in this study could be applied to other pump sumps with multiple pump units.

The effect of the changes in parameter angles(precone, droop, sweep) on the lead-lag damping was focused on. Experiment was made with hingeless 4-blade rotors and NACA 0012 airfoil. For the measurement of the rotating natural frequencies and lead-lag damping, non-rotating swash plate was oscillated at the regressing lag mode frequency and the data were acquired after the excitation was cut off. Analysis was made using a finite element formulation based on Hamilton's principle. The main blade is assumed as elastic beams. Quasi-steady strip theory is used to obtain aerodynamic forces, and non-circulatory forces are also included.

This study offers a design procedure of optimum cable damper for multi-mode vibration control with nonlinear damper and also investigate the relation between mode and amplitude dependency. The proposed multi-mode damping index, which is defined as a energy loss ratio of cable potential, is a main component of optimization problem of optimum nonlinear damper. In order to include the amplitude dependency of nonlinear damper, it is assumed to exist three kinds of multi-mode patterns such as ambient vibration, support excitation and rain-win induced vibration. The optimum damper exponent depends on amplitude patterns. In case of ambient vibration, optimum factor is less than 0.5. In case of support excitation or rain-wind induced vibration is between 0.5 and 1.0. In this study, the effects of cable sag and inclination angle are included in the asymptotic design equation of damped cable structures.

Optimization of engine desist and operation parameters using a genetic algorithm was demonstrated for direct injection diesel engine combustion. A micro genetic algorithm and a modified KIVA-3V code were used for the analysis and optimization of the engine combustion. At each generation of the optimization step the micro genetic algorithm generated five groups of parameter sets, and the five cases of KIVA-3V analysis were to be performed either in series or in parallel. The micro genetic algorithm code was also parallelized by using MPI programming, and a multi-CPU parallel supercomputer was used to speed up the optimization process by four times. An example case for a fixed engine speed was performed with six parameters of intake swirl ratio, compression ratio, fuel injection included angle, injector hole number, SOI, and injection duration. A simultaneous optimization technique for the whole range of engine speeds would be suggested for further studies.
