This paper reports on the friction characteristics of a piston ring pack with consideration of mixed lubrication. The analytical model is presented by using the average flow antral asperity contact model. The effect of operating condition, and design parameters on the MOFT, maximum friction force, and mean frictional power loss are investigated. Piston ring prick shows mixed and hydrodynamic lubrication characteristics. From the predicted results, it was fand that the ring tension and height of surface roughness have great influence on the frictional power losses in a ring pack. Especially, ring tension is a dominant factor for the reduction of friction loss and maintenance of oil film thickness.

The voltage-controlled oscillator is one of the fundamental building blocks that determine the signal quality and power consumption in RF transceivers for wireless sensor networks. Ring oscillators are attractive owing to their small form factor and multi-phase capability despite the relatively poor phase noise performance in comparison with LC oscillators. The phase noise of a ring oscillator can be improved by using a coupled structure that works at a lower frequency. This paper introduces a 2.4 GHz low-noise ring oscillator that consists of two 3-stage coupled ring oscillators. Each sub-oscillator operates at 800 MHz, and the multi-phase signals are combined to generate a 2.4 GHz quadrature output. The voltage-controlled ring oscillator designed in a 65-nm standard CMOS technology has a tuning range of 800 MHz and exhibits the phase noise of -104 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. The power consumption is 13.3 mW from a 1.2 V supply voltage.

We observe from known results that the set of nilpotent elements in Armendariz rings has an important role. The upper nilradical coincides with the prime radical in Armendariz rings. So it can be shown that the factor ring of an Armendariz ring over its prime radical is also Armendariz, with the help of Antoine's results for nil-Armendariz rings. We study the structure of rings with such property in Armendariz rings and introduce APR as a generalization. It is shown that APR is placed between Armendariz and nil-Armendariz. It is shown that an APR ring which is not Armendariz, can always be constructed from any Armendariz ring. It is also proved that a ring R is APR if and only if so is R[$x$], and that N(R[$x$]) = N(R)[$x$] when R is APR, where R[$x$] is the polynomial ring with an indeterminate $x$ over R and N(-) denotes the set of all nilpotent elements. Several kinds of APR rings are found or constructed in the precess related to ordinary ring constructions.

During warm forging, materials are formed in the temperature range of $300^{\circ}C\sim900^{\circ}C$. In this temperature range, the friction between the forging die and the material is very high and has a negative effect on the forming process causing severe die wear and possible defects in the component because of stick-slip. Thus, lubrication characteristics are a very important factor for productivity during warm forging. In this paper, ring compression experiments were conducted to estimate the friction factor between the die and the materials as the main factor in characterizing the lubricant. Also, ring tests using normal graphite power as a lubricant coating system were compared with tests using nano graphite powder. The results confirm that the nano graphite is superior to the normal graphite in view of its lubricating effect. In addition, the friction factor (m) was estimated with respect to the amount of the nano graphite content in the lubricant. With 10 % nano graphite the friction factor had the lowest value as compared to other amounts. It can be concluded that the amount of the nano graphite in the coating system can be optimized to obtain the best lubrication condition between the die and the material using ring test experiments.

Elastomeric o-ring performance and structure when subjected to a foreign object is studied using finite element analysis (FEA). Elastomeric o-rings have been studied using 2D analysis for a long time. Contact pressure is an important factor in o-ring design. When contact pressure is lower than applied pressure, leaking, vibration, and noise can occur; resulting in decreased output. In this study, we compared 2D and 3D analyses of elastomeric o-rings. Similar results were shown for 2D and 3D contact pressure. However, when an o-ring encounters foreign object matter, 3D analysis is required because contact pressure in every direction needs to be considered. We determined the influence of foreign matter on o-ring performance and structure by analyzing 10 cases with different clearances in a 3D model. Therefore, an o-ring encountering foreign object matter must be analyzed in 3D with the result included in the o-ring design.

The structure activity relationship of polyhydroxylated benzamide derivatives for whitening effects was examined. The adamantyl benzamide derivatives with catechol (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) of B-ring part showed good anti-melanogenesis activity, but the inhibitory activity of mono-hydroxyphenyl (3-OH or 4-OH) or 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl substituted derivatives was decreased or lost. Therefore the catechol unit was appeared to be the crucial factor for the inhibition of melanogenesis. And the existence of 2-OH of A-ring part had minor influence on the activity, the length of carbon chain between A-ring and B-ring was also not the major factor for the anti-melanogenesis activity.

In this paper we confirm the disappearance of dynamic lock-in simply by increasing the dither noise magnitude of the ring laser gyroscope by numerical and experimental method. After that, we numerically study the relation between the dither noise forms and scale factor non-linearities by comparing those of the two case outputs which are individually generated by operating with the two types of dither noise forms. The first one is the simple form composed of consecutive alternations of the random increasing and decreasing parts but maximum and minimum dither envelopes are scarcely changeable. And the second one is similar to the first one but maximum and minimum dither envelopes are randomly changable. As a result, we find that the scale factor non-linearity could be improved by the second one. And we confirm those results by experimental measurements.

A piezoelectric ring type plate, which vibrates in flexural vibration mode, is used for the stator of ultrasonic motor. To design the stator adequately, the force factor of the stator should be estimated in advance. The theoretically calculated force factors for the flexural vibration mode are compared with the measured ones to obtain good agreement. In order to study how to control the force factor, the relation between the shape of the stator and force factor is also considered.

This paper represents that parts of a large generator operating in 1000 MW are affected by centrifugal forces due to high-speed rotation in 3600 rpm and 3D FEM Analyses are required to obtained the structural reliability of the generator. From these results, one would know the weakest locations and the stress distributions. The fatigue life is calculated in order to grasp the remaining life of generator. 2D and 3D analyses are performed to calculate stresses of the generator rotor and the retaining ring. From 2D results, we find the SCF at the slot and sub-slot of the rotor. 3D analysis is applied at the end part of generator rotor, which represents complex geometry, and rotor and retaining ring shrink thermally. With these results, designers of rotor and retaining ring can compare with the results of design code and verify the stress distributions of generator rotor and retaining ring, and then calculate the remaining life from the low-cycle fatigue data.

In this article we investigate the structure of rings in which lower nilradicals coincide with upper nilradicals. Such rings shall be said to be quasi-2-primal. It is shown first that the $K{\ddot{o}}the^{\prime}s$ conjecture holds for quasi-2-primal rings. So the results in this article may provide interesting and useful information to the study of nilradicals in various situations. In the procedure we study the structure of quasi-2-primal rings, and observe various kinds of quasi-2-primal rings which do roles in ring theory.
