Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate distribution and maximal value of mechanical stresses on the reconstruction plate, bridging mandibular symphysis defect, and to optimize the most appropriate locations of the plate to distribute the stress causing the fracture of the plate. Materials and methods: Four types of reconstruction were constructed by different number and location of the reconstruction plates on the 3 D finite element model (FEM) of a human edentulous mandible; Type I: one plate on the inferior border of the anterior mandible, Type II: one plate on the middle of the anterior mandible, Type III: one plate on the superior border of the anterior mandible, and Type IV: two plates on the inferior and superior border of the anterior mandible. Results: The results showed that the maximal stress of type I (234.29 Mpa) was lower than that of type II (260.91 Mpa) and type III (247.37 Mpa), but higher than that of type IV (186.64 Mpa). We could also observe that the stresses are tending to focus on the inner side and inferior part of the plate which connected proximal segment from the vertical load. Conclusions: On the basis of the findings, it was concluded that using a plate on the inferior border of mandible or two plates on the inferior and superior border of mandible are more favorable to distribute mechanical stresses, which could reduce the fracture of the plate.

Nowadays, there are many attempts to develop domestic medical-equipments. In this study, it is performed to developed a new vertebral fusion device. The basic models are a rectangular-frame type and a screw type which are generally used for the patients. The main purpose of the development of a new device is to reduce the amount of bone taken out for the insertion of a device to vertebral disc and this paper is focused on th concept of a new device shape. In the results, two types are devised. One is a folding type and the other is a separate-push-in type device both are in primitive stage. However, in a folding type there are mechanical pins and the analysis of pins and the lock system is still in study and needs some time. Therefore a separate-push-in type is introduced in this study mainly and a prototype and 3-D finite element model are made and experimented and stress analyzed. From the results it is considered that it is stable for the basic loading condition of vertebra, however, it is required to develop a supporting operational equipment for the convenience of the operation in practice.

In this paper, a new type of step motor with two degree of mechanical freedom, which is named rotary-Linear Step Motor(RLSM), is presented. Its rotor axis can perform linear and rotary motions either separately or simultaneously. This paper discribes the design of RLSM using finite element method in which the magnetic saturation effect of the iron core is taken into account. The design parameters such as torques, forces and inductances are obtained from the computed magnetic vector potentials. A new type of Rotary-Linear Step Motor was constructed. The calculated parameters agree well with measurements.

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a finite family of strict pseudocontractions and the solution set of pseudomonotone and Lipschitz-type continuous equilibrium problems. The scheme is based on the idea of extragradient methods and fixed point iteration methods. We show that the iterative sequences generated by this algorithm converge strongly to the common element in a real Hilbert space.

The notion of finite type submanifold was introduced by B.-Y. Chen [1]. A lot of works were done in this field of study by many authors. B.-Y. Chen also extended this notion to pseudo-Riemannian submanifold of pseudo-Euclidean space ([2]).

We derive lower bounds of the scalar curvature on complete non-compact gradient Yamabe solitons under some integral curvature conditions. Based on this, we prove that potential functions of Yamabe solitons have at most quadratic growth for distance function. We also obtain a finite topological type property on complete shrinking gradient Yamabe solitons under suitable scalar curvature assumptions.

In this paper, the new claw pole type linear stepping motor(CPLSM) is proposed. And the magnetic equivalent circuit of CPLSM is derived by the structure of the CPLSM. The design parameter and the magnetic flux density of CPLSM are performed with three-dimensional finite element method.

Let $\Omega$ be a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain in $C^{n}$ and let $z^{0}$ $\in$b$\Omega$ a point of finite type. We also assume that the Levi form of b$\Omega$ is comparable in a neighborhood of $z^{0}$ . Then we get precise estimates of the Bergman kernel function, $K_{\Omega}$(z, w), and its derivatives in a neighborhood of $z^{0}$ . .

Generalized nonnegative polynomials are defined as the products of nonnegative polynomials raised to positive real powers. The generalized degree can be defined in a natural way. We extend some results on Infinite-Finite range inequalities, Christoffel functions, and Nikolski type inequalities corresponding to weights W\ulcorner(x)=exp(-｜x｜\ulcorner), $\alpha$>0, to those for generalized nonnegative polynomials.
