We will consider a thermostatic system, Sprott B, that is a generalization of the well-known one-parameter Sprott A system. Sprott B contains an explicit periodic solution for all positive values of the parameter a. As for Sprott A, we find dissipative KAM tori associated with time-reversal symmetry and canards in dissipative systems.

Studying the systems Sprott A and NE9, we find families of tori and periodic solutions both involving canards. Using time-reversal and symmetry, we are able to explain in these two systems both the analysis and origin of tori, periodic solutions, and the numerics of these objects.
