The axial contour and proximal contact of the prosthesis affect periodontal health, food impaction, and patient satisfaction. This narrative review provides a summary of articles regarding the axial contour and proximal contact of a fixed dental prosthesis on periodontal health and physiologic function. By acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the axial contour and proximal contact of teeth and prostheses, as well as their functional significance, the virtual design of fixed dental prosthesis can be optimized to maintain periodontal health and promote physiologic function effectively.

The comprehensive system analysis for contour milling operation and its error has performed in this study. The obtained experimental results were from the practical points of view. In down-milling operation the contour error curve illustrates bigger thean actual workpiece radius. The contour error increased when the cutter loads increased. Through the procedural evaluation, it could ascertain the characteristics of generation mechanics in circular contour machining error, and the weight of each factors.

Today, tire performance becomes better as vehicle performance increases. Driviability, endurance, comfortability, noise, and antiwear performance is influenced by tire contour. Tire design method is developed by high-tech engineering technology. Among theses studies, tire performance improvement through tire contour optimization is performed by many vehicle investigator. Therefore, in the present study, an optimum contour design system satisfying the tire performance requirements is constructed by regression analysis and genetic algorithm by using design of experiments.

In this paper, the optimum design of tire sidewall contour consisted of double plies for improving automobile maneuverability and tire durability is considered and a GUI program is developed for the purpose of the practical design. Each improvement of maneuverability and durability depends on the cord tension and strain energy distribution of tire sidewall. Satisfing trade-off method, which requires the judgment of aspiration levels, is used for the multi-objective optimization problem. Also, this paper presents the application to the practical sidewall contour design with the GUI program developed using visual Fortran.

Contacting with ground in the post-card area size only, tire supports entire automobile weight. As well, it characterizes most of automobile running performance. Among the design parameters, the carcass contour becomes a key design factor. This paper deals with the time-effective optimal design of tire crown contour in order to improve the tire wear performance by employing a back-propagation neural network model.

In this paper, we developed an algorithm of generating cam contour curve for hinge mechanism of folder-type mobile phone. The main feature of this hinge mechanism is that we can operate uniform torque to open or close the mobile phone. We divided the opening or closing intervals of the cam into finite sub-intervals, and then we determined the cam contour curve of each sub-interval as a parabolic curve. Finally, these finite parabolic curves form the total cam contour. We can design single cam, which composed moving cam with contour curve and fixed cam that plays only roller, and twin cam with contour curve that is made up the pair of two cams symmetrically.

Automobile maneuverability and tire durability are significantly influenced by the sidewall tire contour. In order to improve these tire performances, it is very important far one to determine a sidewall contour producing the ideal tension and strain-energy distributions. However, these requirements can nut be simultaneously achieved by conventional non-interactive multi-objective optimization methods based on mathematical programming, because these exhibit the conflicting behavior each other, with respect lo the sidewall contour. Therefore, we execute the tire contour optimization fur improving the maneuverability and the tire durability using satisficing trade-off method.

The first function of occlusion is mastication. Therefore the functional restoration of occlusal surface is very important. The restoration of occlusal surface is three method as wax bite technique, F.G.P. technique, cone technique. Many dental technician is using compound method. I am using compound method of wax bite technique and cone technique. I have knew common point on each teeth during I have waxing up wax pattern. So I studied on the design waxup technique for mandible molar occlusion. The results of the study were as follows; 1. The dam wax up method can restore axial contour of teeth very easy and make short working time of wax pattern. 2. The height of dam must be same with cusp of adjacent teeth. 3. Automatically the contour of tooth is appeared if the contour of dam is relationship with cuspid line of adjacent teeth. 4. The height of contour of buccal, lingual surface is formed natural curve to add fluid wax by gravitation. 5. The development groove of mandible first premolar is appeared V form. 6. The development groove of mandible second premolar is appeared Y form. 7, The development groove of mandible first molar is appeared M form. 8. The development groove of mandible second molar is W form. 9. The embrasure is formed to carve around contact point area as round convex. It affects to axial form of tooth. 10. The buccal, lingual groove of molar is formed parallel with direction of teeth arrangement.

This paper aims at the design of high voltage electrode contour under specified field condition. Defining the contour with B-Spline curve, the number of contour variables can be reduced and very smooth electrode can be obtained. For the analysis of the electric field, Surface Charge Method which has advantages in practical model has been used. As an initial contour, the rod-plane gap has been used since the difference between maximum and minimum field value is relatively large. Various field conditions including uniform field condition are given to the end of the rod electrode. Under uniform field condition, authors designed an electrode whose field-deviation was under 0.5%. Finally, the relation between the curvature and field of the electrode has been checked, which showed that B-Spline curve is appropriate for the shape function.

After a short review of the iterative optimal blank method, a new method of measuring the shape error for stamped parts with 3D contour lines, which is an essential component of the optimal blank design, is proposed. When the contour line of the target shape does not exist in a plane, but exists in 3D space, especially when the shape of the target contour line is very complicated as in the real automotive parts, then the measurement of the shape error is critical. In the current study, a method of shape error measurement based on the minimum distance is suggested as an evolution of the radius vector method. With the proposed method, the optimal blank shapes of real automotive parts were found and compared to the results of the radius vector method. From the current investigation the new method is found to resolve the issues with the radius vector method.
