Rotational Swashplate Pulse Continuously Variable Transmission Based on Helical Gear Axial Meshing Transmission

The current research on pulse continuously variable transmission（CVT） is mainly focused on reducing the pulse degree and making pulse degrees a constant value. Current research mainly confined to find out new design parameters by using the method of optimization, and reduce the pulse degree of pulse CVT and its range of variation. But the fact is that the reduction of the pulse degree is not significant. This article presents a new structure of mechanical pulse CVT--the rotational swashplate pulse CVT with driven by helical gear axial meshing. This transmission is simple and compact in structure and low in pulsatile rate （it adopts 6 guide rods）, and the pulsatile degree is irrelevant to the transmission ratio. Theoretically, pulsatile rate could be reduced to zero if appropriate curved surface of the swashplate is used. Compared with the connecting rod pulse CVT, the present struc^tre uses helical gear mechanism as transmission part and it avoids unbalanced inertial force in the former model. This paper analyzes the principle of driving of this transmission, presents its mechanical structure, and discusses its motion characteristics. Experimental prototype of this type of CVT has been manufactured. Tests for the transmission efficiency（when the rotational speed of the output shaft is the maximum） and the angular velocity of the output shaft have been carried out, and data have been analyzed. The experimental results show that the speed of the output shaft for the experimental prototype is slightly lower than the theoretical value, and the transmission efficiency of the experimental prototype is about 70%. The pulse degree of the CVT discussed in this paper is less than the existing pulse CVT of other types, and it is irrelevant to the transmission ratio of the CVT. The research provides the new idea to the CVT study.

Application and Nursing of Pulse Index Continuous Cardiac Output (PiCCO) Volume Monitoring in Early Fluid Resuscitation in Patients with Septic Shock

Background: Septic shock is a rapidly changing and fatal syndrome that can cause comprehensive deterioration of cardiopulmonary and renal function and multiple organ failure. At the same time, septic shock has the complex clinical manifestations and hemodynamics. PiCCO can accurately monitor blood flow, physical and volume indicators, and active and effective fluid resuscitation are important measures to reduce the fatality rate of septic shock and improve the prognosis of patients. Objectives: To explore the application and nursing of PiCCO in early fluid resuscitation in patients with septic shock. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. The observation group and the control group each had 30 cases. The observation group used PiCCO to guide fluid resuscitation;the control group used conventional methods to guide fluid resuscitation. The changes in CVP, HR, MAP, and urine volume per hour were observed in the two groups. The changes of various indicators before and after fluid resuscitation, the length of stay in ICU and the mortality rate were compared between the two groups. All the outcomes were collected from the electronic medical case system after patients’ discharge from the hospital. Results: APACHE II, CVP, HR, MAP were compared between the observation group and the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The blood volume of patients in the observation group was significantly improved after fluid supplementation (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the length of stay in ICU in the observation group was significantly shorter, and the mortality rate was also significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Conclusion: PiCCO can be better used in early fluid resuscitation of patients with septic shock.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE TEMPERATURE FIELD IN A SOLDER BALL UNDER PULSED LASER AND ITS EFFECT ON THE VIBRATION OF THE SOLDER

The research presented here is focused on the vibration condition of a small volume solder solder ball,which is placed on the surface of a soldering pad and is exerted a pulse modulated continuous wave laser heat source. Finite element method is applied to analyzed the temperature field in the solder ball, and experi- ment is conducted to test the vibration. the results show that,that, the temperature field flucturates with the same frequency as that of the laser pulse, which in turn causes a forced vibration of the same frequency in the liquid solder ball.
