  • Burn-in is a widely used method to eliminate initial failures. Preventive maintenance policy such as block replacement with minimal repair at failure is often used in field operation. In this paper burn-in and maintenance policy are taken into consideration at the same time. The cost of a minimal repair is assumed to be a non-decreasing function of its age. The problems of determining optimal burn-in times and optimal maintenance policy are considered.

  • Purpose: To retrieve the retracted flexor tendon, additional incision and wide dissection are conventionally required. We introduce minimal - incision tenorrhaphy using 1 cm - length incision and minimal dissection. Methods: Transverse incision about 1 cm - length is made over the level of retracted tendon. Nelaton's catheter is advanced into tendon sheath from distal primary laceration wound to emerge proximally through the incisional wound. Catheter is sutured to proximal tendon in end - to - end fashion. By gently pulling the catheter, retracted tendon is delivered to distal wound. Tenorrhaphy with core suture and epitendinous suture is then carried out. Results: This retrieving technique provides minimal incision, minimal dissection, minimal bleeding, minimal injury to tendon end, and shorter operation time with preservation of vincula tendinum and pulley system. Conclusion: In case of flexor tendon rupture with retraction, this operative method is believed to allow reliable and effective tenorrhaphy and excellent postoperative outcomes.

  • Four patients underwent lumbar surgery. In all four patients, the dura was minimally torn during the operation. However, none exhibited signs of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage. In each case, a few days after the operation, the patient suddenly experienced severe recurring pain in the leg. Repeat magnetic resonance imaging showed transdural nerve rootlets entrapped in the intervertebral disc space. On exploration, ventral dural tears and transdural nerve rootlet entrapment were confirmed. Midline durotomy, herniated rootlet repositioning, and ventral dural tear repair were performed, and patients' symptoms improved after rootlet repositioning. Even with minimal dural tearing, nerve rootlets may become entrapped, resulting in severe recurring symptoms. Therefore, the dural tear must be identified and repaired during the first operation.

  • Recent power quality measurement projects report that voltage sags are the most frequent disturbances in the sites [1]-[4]. DVRs were emerged as the best effective and economic solution for this problem [11]. This paper analyzed the power flow of a DVR in distribution grids. This paper showed various operation modes and boundaries such as inductive operation, capacitive operation, and minimal power operation beside the in-phase compensation.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze, durability of motor effort after finishing rehabilitation program and the influence from the isotonic lumbar region extension exercise after an operation according to the different operation way in invasive degrees. We selected randomly 80 patients who have no complication and musculoskeletal system diseases with finishing the 12 weeks' rehabilitation program after getting laser discectomy, but fail to conservative treatment, about Lumbar HNP, and divided into minimal invasive groups 38 and invasive groups 42 for study. As the results, in minimal invasive group, after finishing cure and 6 months later, the degree of hold muscle of women is much better than that of men. but in Invasive group, that of men is better than that of women, in case of women, the $0^{\circ}$ and $72^{\circ}$ in lumbar flexion angle have weaken or no improvement than before beginning exercise. and muscle force in $72^{\circ}$ in lumbar flexion angle increased to all men and women than before beginning exercise in Minimal invasive group. but in invasive group. it decreased. When analyze the lapsed time in Minimal invasive group, the groups who start the exercise within 3 months are better than the groups who start the exercise above 3 months after an operation the hold muscle degree all angles after finishing cure and 6 months later. Meanwhile, in invasive group, the groups who start the exercise within 3 months are better than the groups who start the exercise above 3 months after an operation about the hold muscle degree in 36-72 of lumbar flexion angle but 0-36 are not good after finishing cure and 6 months later. When analyze BMI in Minimal invasive group, the normal groups are better than the overweight groups about hold muscle degree in all angles after finishing cure and 6 months later.

  • This paper deals with the computer program of finding the minimal sum-of-products for a switching function by using the MASK method derived from the characteristics of the Boolean algebra. The approach differs from the previous procedures in that all the prime implicants are determined only by the bit operation and the minimal sum-of-products are obtained by the modified Petrick method in this work. The important features are the relatively small amount of the run time and the less memory capacity to solve a problem, as compared to the previous computer programs.

  • We show that the forbidden detour move, essentially introduced by Kanenobu and Nelson, is an unknotting operation for virtual knots. Then we define the forbidden detour number of a virtual knot to be the minimal number of forbidden detour moves necessary to transform a diagram of the virtual knot into the trivial knot diagram. Some upper and lower bounds on the forbidden detour number are given in terms of the minimal number of real crossings or the coefficients of the affine index polynomial of the virtual knot.

  • Leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the esophagus,and surgical enucleation is the treatment of choice. Recently we successfully performed thoracoscopic enucleation of large esophageal leiomyoma without complication in one patient. The 46 years old male patient complained epigastric discomfort and showed a submucosal mass in lower esophagus under the endoscopic ultrasonography . During operation minimal perforation occurred, it was closed with clipping without conversion to an open procedure.The tumor size was 8cm x 3cm x 1.5cm respectively. There were less post-operative pain,minimal wound size, and early recovery time.Patient was satisfactory these outcome. These result suggest that esophageal enucleation was performed more large size benign tumor and esophageal perforation during operation was treated thoracoscopically.
