Research on Coopetition Strategy in IPTV Between SARFT and Telecom Operators in China

In order to promote rapid development of IPTV, we need to coordinate the coopetition relationship between SARFT and telecom operators. Considering the substitution effect of IPTV to traditional TV, the paper builds a coopetition model and explores their choices of coopetition strategy and optimal yield decisions under the different level of profit-sharing based on Stackelberg game.The results show that:SARFT should provide IPTV with most program resources.The optimal coopetition strategies are different if the profit-sharing that SARFT gets is at different stages. The profit-sharing between SARFT and telecom operators should be controlled in the neighborhood of seven-three to choose the mutual cooperation strategy, getting the highest profit than others under the optimal coopetition stategies that they select when the profit-sharing is at other stages

Impact of onabotulinumtoxinA on quality of life and practical aspects of daily living : a pooled analysis of two randomized controlled trials

Objective: To evaluate the impact of onabotulinumtoxinA on individual domains of the quality of life questionnaires in a pooled analysis of two phase 3 trials in overactive bladder patients with urinary incontinence who were inadequately managed by >= 1 anticholinergic. Methods: Patients received intradetrusor injections of onabotulinumtoxinA 100U (n = 557) or placebo (n = 548). The proportions of patients with a positive response (condition "greatly improved" or "improved") on the Treatment Benefit Scale, and changes in Incontinence Quality of Life scores and King's Health Questionnaire domain scores were analyzed in the overall population and subgroups with clean intermittent catheterization use and urinary tract infection status during the first 12 weeks of treatment. Responses to individual King's Health Questionnaire items were also assessed. Results: Significantly greater proportions of onabotulinumtoxinA-treated patients achieved positive Treatment Benefit Scale response versus placebo (61.8% vs 28.0%; P < 0.001). OnabotulinumtoxinA showed significantly greater improvements versus placebo in Incontinence Quality of Life total (22.5 vs 6.6), Incontinence Quality of Life subscale scores and all domains of the King's Health Questionnaire. Notably, a similar trend was observed regardless of clean intermittent catheterization/urinary tract infection status. Additionally, onabotulinumtoxinA resulted in significantly greater improvements than the placebo in practical aspects of patients daily lives, including pad use, need to change undergarments, sleep, relationship with partner and work life/daily activities. Conclusion: In overactive bladder patients with urinary incontinence, onabotulinumtoxinA 100U demonstrated significant improvements across the individual domains of the quality of life questionnaires, regardless of clean intermittent catheterization or urinary tract infection status, and provided a positive impact on practical aspects of patients' daily lives

Hydraulic motor with swinging planetary drive of bevel gears and its force & efficiency calculation

A new kind of hydraulic motor with offset swining planetary drive of bevel gears and the application in Capstan is presented; the researched of the calculation of the efficiency of the mechanism is made. Compared to the former structure, new kind of structure has many advantages over that of the old structure. The hydraulic driving system in the traditional derrick car is: hydraulic motor drives a reducer, and then the reducer in turn drives a capstan. Another hydraulic driving system is: an axial piston motor and an internal cycloid pinwheel drive are applied, so that the reducer and the capstan are combined into one so that simplified the transmission system. In the third version, a hydraulic motor is applied, which can be considered as the combination of hydraulic motor with axial piston and the planetary reducer and then drives the capstan, so that simplified the transmission system as well. The new kind of hydraulic motor with offset swing planetary drive of bevel gears, which combined the hydraulic motor, the internal planetary reducer with bevel gears, and the capstan together, is the most compact structure. It is of more advantage in the occasion when space is extremely limited. In the paper, two kind of construction of this mechanism is presented, and the analysis of the efficiency of this kind of transmission is made as well

The second fundamental law of gearing and contact stress calculation of high order contact gearing

After an extensive research on the fundamental theory, the theoretical basis for the Logix gearing will be presented in this paper. This includes the theory for gear meshing with high degree of contact. In comparison to previous studies, the theory of this paper is more restricted going beyond third order parameters into the fourth order, the teeth profile had one order of contact higher than that of the Logix gearing. So that further improved the contact strength of tooth profile. A large category of gearings with high order of contact was presented, while the Logix gear is only one of them, or the special example in realization of my theory. In the Logix gearing, the zigzag curvature center curve of media rack does not always lay about the pitch line and does not extend along the pitch line continuously and steadily. It goes forward and returns. So that, in terms of properties of the transverse engagement, the Logix gearing has not much improvement over the traditional Novikov gearing (in which the transverse engagement is temporally). In my gearing the curvature center of basic rack extend along the pitch line continuously and steadily. The transverse engagement factor is larger than that of Logix gearing

Highly effective way in five-axis sculptured surfaces machining using flat-end cutter

This paper applied the concept of “contact” in Differential Geometry into the machining of the sculptured surface. I presented the contact principle of the machining of complicated surfaces, using the circumference circle of the cylindrical cutter to sweep the curved surface instead of ball-end mill. This is highly effective method. In this paper an theory for machining complicated surface is presented. By using a flat-end mill instead of ball-end mill, and adjusting the axis relate to the surface, the two surfaces, The swept surface and the required surface, has the same curvature, up to as high as 3th order
