    Power transmission entropy
    (Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2008) Özdemir, Serhan
    Mechanical transmissions have been characterised traditionally by their transmission efficiencies. This is given by the ratio of the output to the input of the transmitted power. Unfortunately, the power transmission phenomenon is slightly more complex than that. As any designer would agree, each of these transmission localities is a source of uncertainty. Once formulated, this statement of uncertainty would reflect the designer's trust in the transmission. By virtue of the proposed approach, power transmission is no longer a deterministic entity but becomes a probabilistic one. This paper discusses the overlooked uncertainty inherent in every transmission.

    Local Sparse Coding Control of Cvpsts
    (Inderscience Enterprises, 2005) Özdemir, Serhan
    This paper discusses simulations of a control scheme based on locally sparse coded networks (CMACs) for a novel previously proposed continuously variable transmission (CVT), a hybrid continuously variable power split transmission (CVPST) (Osdemir and Schueller, 2002). Automotive transmissions match the speed and the torque of the power source to the speed and torque requirements of the load. Properly designed CVTs have shown potential to improve efficiency and performance. The main advantage of CMACs is fast computation because of their simple operational principles. Simulation results have shown that memory contents either reach a stable limit cycle or an attractor based on the selection of network parameters and the training method. Both online and offline training are possible.
