this paper concerns the design and analysis, of a ball type continuously variable transmission, (b-cvt). this b-cvt has a simple kinematic structure, and same as a toroidal cvt, transmits power by friction on the contact points between input and output discs, that are connected to each other by balls. after, a brief introduction of our b-cvt structure, the performance and traction efficiency of...

We consider a class of singular systems of Lane-Emden type      ∆u + λu p 1 v q 1 = 0, x ∈ D, a smooth domain in R n. In case the system is sublinear we prove existence of a positive solution. If D is a ball in R n , we prove both existence and uniqueness of positive radially symmetric solution.

We investigate a variation of the transitivity problem for proximinality properties of subspaces and intersection properties of balls in Banach spaces. For instance, we prove that if Z ⊆ Y ⊆ X, where Z is a finite co-dimensional subspace of X which is strongly proximinal in Y and Y is an M -ideal in X, then Z is strongly proximinal in X. Towards this, we prove that a finite co-dimensional proxi...

Let x, y be sets. Observe that {〈x, y〉} is one-to-one. In the sequel n denotes a natural number. One can prove the following two propositions: (1) For every non empty topological space T holds T and T ΩT are homeomorphic. (2) Let X be a non empty subspace of En T and f be a function from X into R1. Suppose f is continuous. Then there exists a function g from X into En T such that (i) for every ...

A new re¯ow parameter, heating factor (Q g), which is de®ned as the integral of the measured temperature over the dwell time above liquidus, has been proposed in this report. It can suitably represent the combined e€ect of both temperature and time in usual re¯ow process. Relationship between reliability of the micro-ball grid array (micro-BGA) package and heating factor has been discussed. The...

The paper presents an overview of the current methodology and practice in modeling and control of the grinding process in industrial ball mills. Basic kinetic and energy models of the grinding process are described and the most commonly used control strategies are analyzed and discussed.

This paper deals with the analysis of broadcast soccer video. To recognize interesting events such as a goal, estimation of ball movements is necessary. It is, however, sometimes difficult to detect a ball by a simple color and shape-based method when it overlaps with players and lines. We therefore develop a method of estimating a ball route during such overlaps by considering spatio-temporal ...

This study discusses kinematic and dynamic precession models for a rolling ball with a finite contact area and a point contact respectively. In literature, both conventions have been applied. In this paper, we discuss in detail the kinematic and dynamic models to describe the ball precession and the radius of a circular rolling path. The kinematic model can be used if the contact area and frict...

An apparatus is described for measuring the stiffness and coefficient of restitution (COR) of balls with application to softballs. While standardized test methods currently exist to measure these properties, they do not represent the displacement rate and magnitude that occur in play. The apparatus described herein involves impacting a fixed, solid cylindrical surface (matched to the diameter o...
