The novel mechanism CVT (Shaft Drive CVT, S-CVT) was developed by the authors. It transmits power by a traction drive same as the half toroidal CVT. S-CVT has parallel input/output shafts with conical or concave disks and the idler shaft having conical rollers at both ends, which is placed perpendicularly to the input/output shafts. All disks and rollers can move along each axis directions, and these movements produce the ratio changing by the changes of the rotational radii. The efficiency is the key evaluation function of CVT. To improve the efficiency, the backup roller mechanism was devised. Its effectiveness was confirmed by the experiment, and the efficiency of 95% was obtained by modified prototype S-CVT. This paper deals with the expansion of ratio range of S-CVT. In case of using the present disks, S-CVT has a difficulty to expand the narrow ratio range of 4 (0.5 to 2) because of the large slip brought by the spin. To expand the ratio range, the zero-spin disk/roller was devised. The shape of zero-spin disk/roller satisfies the condition that the spin does not occur at any speed ratio. According to the calculation, the slip rate becomes less than 1% at any speed ratio. To confirm the effectiveness, the prototype S-CVT with zero-spin disk was manufactured. It has the ratio range of 0.43 to 2.35. To obtain the slip rate the experiments were carried out at the speed ratio of 0.43, 1 and 2.35. At each speed ratio, the slip rate of less than 1% was obtained, and the effect of the zerospin disk was confirmed.

Closed loop operation of a single, high temperature magnetic radial bearing to 30,000 RPM (2.25 million DN) and 540°C (1,000°F) is discussed. Also, high temperature, fault tolerant operation for the three axis system is examined. A novel, hydrostatic backup bearing system was employed to attain high speed, high temperature, lubrication free support of the entire rotor system. The hydrostatic bearings were made of a high lubricity material and acted as journal-type backup bearings. New, high temperature displacement sensors were successfully employed to monitor shaft position throughout the entire temperature range and are described in this paper. Control of the system was accomplished through a stand alone, high speed computer controller and it was used to run both the fault-tolerant PID and active vibration control algorithms.

Conventional logic dissipates more power by losing bits of information whereas reversibility recovers bit loss from the unique input-output mapping. This paper presents the design of a reversible fault tolerant booth multiplier which can multiply both signed and unsigned numbers. The proposed circuit tolerant designed using only fault tolerant reversible gates. Thus the entire scheme inherently becomes fault tolerant. Several theorems on the numbers of gates, garbage outputs, quantum cost of the proposed design have been presented to show the efficiency of the design. The result analysis shows that the proposed design is optimized in terms of all cost parameters. The simulation of the proposed circuit verifies the correctness of the circuit.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.

Till date there are no systems which promise to efficiently store and retrieve high volume network traffic. Like Time Machine, this efficiently records and retrieves high volume network traffic. The bottleneck of such systems has been to capture packets at such a high speed without dropping and to write a large amount of data to a disk quicklt and sufficiently, without impact on the integrity of the captured data (Ref. Cooke.E., Myrick.A., Rusek.D., & Jahanian.F(2006)). Certain hardware and software parts of the operating system (like drivers, input/output interfaces) cannot cope with such a high volume of data from a network, which may cause loss of data. Based on such experiences the authors have come up with a redesigned implementation of the system which have specialized capture hardware with its own Application Programming Interface for overcoming loss of data and improving efficiency in recording mechanisms.

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are becoming useful as alternate approaches to conventional techniques or as components of integrated systems. They have been used to solve complicated practical problems in various areas and nowadays are very popular. They are widely accepted as a technology offering an alternative way to tackle complex and ill-defined problems. They can learn from examples, are fault tolerant in the sense that they are able to handle noisy and incomplete data, are able to deal with non-linear problems and once trained can perform prediction and generalization at very high speed. AI-based systems are being developed and deployed worldwide in a wide variety of applications, mainly because of their symbolic reasoning, flexibility and explanation capabilities. They have been used in diverse applications in control, robotics, pattern recognition, forecasting, medicine, power systems, manufacturing, optimization, signal processing and social/psychological sciences. They are particularly useful in system modeling such as in implementing complex mappings and system identification. This chapter presents a review of the main AI techniques such as expert systems, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic and hybrid systems, which combine two or more techniques. It also outlines some applications in the energy sector.
