This article discusses the possibility of changing the formulation of an anti-icing mixture directly in a combined road machine, by integrating data from road weather stations and modernizing a universal spreader. To quickly change the recipe of the distributed mixture, using the example of a sand-salt mixture, it is proposed to use a two-hopper universal spreader with an automated control system. The recipe for the distributed anti-icing mixture is calculated depending on weather conditions. An example of LabVIEW software is given to solve the local problem of finding a current weather station.

Existing methods for determining the geometry of an enclosed space using echolocation assume the presence of a large amount of additional equipment (sound sources and receivers) in the room. This paper investigates a method for determining the geometry of enclosed spaces using sound location. The method does not assume the presence of a priori knowledge about the surrounding space. One sound source and one sound receiver were used to create and capture real impulse characteristics. A microphone was used as a sound receiver and a finger snap was used as a sound source to produce the impulse response. In this work, we used convolutional neural networks that were trained on a large dataset consisting of 48000 impulse responses and a number of room geometry parameters corresponding to them. The trained convolutional neural network was tested on the recorded impulse responses of a real room and showed accuracy ranging from 92.2 to 98.7% in estimating room size from various parameters.

Tests to determine the seismic stability of elements of pipeline systems, in particular pipeline fittings, are included in the list of those necessary to confirm the operability of the element. In this study, a stand was developed for testing to determine the seismic stability of butterfly check valves, which are a type of pipeline fittings.

The resulting displacement values of the table structure do not exceed the limit values specified by the technical requirements and do not lead to distortion of the structure or destruction of joints, which makes it possible to move from design to manufacturing and commissioning of the stand.

The choice of equipment of technological enterprises, especially when the characteristics of the equipment are close in values, remains an urgent task. In our work, to evaluate the effectiveness of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), a comprehensive criterion for evaluating efficiency is proposed, as well as a method for calculating it using numerical methods. To calculate the complex efficiency criterion, the values of the significant characteristics of the controllers selected by us are converted into points on a linear scale. To refine the calculation results, we applied one of the Newton-Cotes numerical methods, namely the trapezoid method. Next, we used the method of cubic interpolation of the obtained curves to increase the accuracy of calculations. The proposed method is simple and does not require a lot of calculations. At the same time, its application makes it possible to calculate complex PLC efficiency criteria based on characteristics relevant to a particular control process.

The quality of asphalt concrete mixture at the output of an asphalt concrete plant is unstable due to disturbances that we cannot control or control with significant delay. Disturbances may include factors such as inaccuracies in the existing relationships between the properties of asphalt concrete mixture components and the parameters of the technological process with the quality of the finished product. Disturbances can also be attributed to our lack of knowledge about the relationships between individual indicators and the quality of the mixture. Forecasting these disturbances to determine the actual quality at the output becomes a key task. Previously, determining the optimal length of data series for forecasting was a challenging task. Nowadays, with the use of modern technologies, this problem has been successfully solved. In this article, the authors propose an adaptive forecasting method to determine the optimal length of data series. The research results include forecasting error values with and without adaptation. The adaptive forecasting method demonstrated smaller values of mean absolute error (MAE) compared to the non-adaptive forecasting method (where the length of the time series is always equal to 100). This allows for more efficient and accurate prediction of cumulative disturbances, which is critically important for ensuring high and stable quality of asphalt concrete mixture.

The reconfigurable systems-on-a-chip (RSoC) includes hard and soft intellectual property cores (IP-cores). Hard IP-cores are placed on the specified positions on the chip and have a predetermined functionality. Soft IP-cores are developed using the logical blocks (LB) of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) on the RSoC. Both types of IP-cores have different features. Hard IP-cores have configurations that can be programmed. Soft IP-cores use the base RSoC specialized resources. All IP-cores features must be considered at various stages of the design flow of user circuits based on the RSoC. Any modes of the RSoC IP-cores should be extracted from the functional description of the user circuit during logical synthesis. The features of the base chip architecture and specialized routing resources must be considered during placement and routing. In this paper, a software-oriented set-theoretic model of IP-cores is presented. The model makes it possible to represent IP-cores in computer-aided design (CAD) system at different stages of design flow of user circuit based on RSoC and to map architecture-independent IP-cores of a user circuit to IP-cores on the base chip. The model combines formalized representations of the base chip components, architecture-independent and architecture-dependent parameterized IP-cores for the logical synthesis, as well as IP-cores for the layout synthesis. Also, the model has several distinctive features. The first feature is the availability of the relative coordinates of the soft IP-cores elements. These coordinates allow to take into account the RSoC architectural features at the placement stage. The second feature is that an information about specialized routing resources and interconnections of the user and base circuits. This information allows to establish a correspondence between IP-core and RSoC connections regardless of the routing resources type.

In this work, an experimental model of a circuit diagram with pulsating circulation of a liquid coolant in a heated circuit of a plate heat exchanger was assembled and tested. As a result of hydraulic and energy calculations of the circuit, the optimal parameters for flow, pressure, and temperature of the coolant were selected at maximum efficiency of the impact unit. It has been established that with an increase in the operating frequency of the impact unit, the heat transfer coefficient of the heat exchanger first decreases and reaches a minimum of 452.47 W/(m2*0C) at a frequency of 0.5 Hz, and then begins to increase and reaches a maximum of 482.31 W/(m2* 0C) at a frequency of 2 Hz, after which it gradually decreases. It has also been experimentally established that the temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger of the heated circuit increases with increasing frequency of the shock unit and reaches a maximum at a frequency of 2 Hz, after which it begins to gradually decrease. It has been established that the change in temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger of the heated circuit exceeds the change in temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger of the heating circuit at operating frequencies above 1 Hz, which is due to the stronger influence of cavitation at these frequencies.
