Abstract

The purpose of research is to increase the efficiency of decoding noise–resistant block codes in conditions of a priori uncertainty about the parameters used.

Methods. In modern systems, the use of noise-resistant block codes with a large codeword length is noted, which allows the permitted code combinations to be sufficiently far apart from each other during encoding and to obtain, during iterative decoding, the possibility of their correct determination at low values of the signal-to-noise ratio in the communication channel. The use of long noise-tolerant codes requires a reduction in the complexity of error correction algorithms, which is estimated by the number of operations of various types per decoding iteration. The number of operations of various types will depend on the parameters of the code and the verification matrix, as well as the decoding algorithm used. The practical implementation of the decoder has a number of limitations, and its design is a difficult task, especially in conditions of a priori uncertainty about the applied code parameters. To solve this problem, it is proposed to use the method of determining the applied LBC verification matrix based on the analysis of the received digital sequence.

Results. In the course of the study, a comparative analysis of known methods for determining the parameters of an interference-resistant block code was carried out and a modification of the Gauss method was proposed to solve a system of linear algebraic equations when finding the LBC verification matrix.

Conclusion. The proposed method avoids performing a strict sequence of actions according to the well-known Gauss method, as well as reducing time complexity by paralleling calculations and significantly increasing the efficiency of practical implementation of the algorithm for finding the LBC verification matrix.

Abstract

The purpose of research is to develop a mathematical model of a two-link active foot of a rehabilitation exoskeleton for the lower extremities and to obtain data for generating the setting effects on the device drives.

Methods. The article discusses a method for creating reference actions for the drive control system of a two-link foot of a rehabilitation exoskeleton. This device is designed for complex mechanical processing of the ankle joint in order to restore its mobility and bring movements closer to a natural gait. For this purpose, the video trajectory capture method is used in the framework of the experiment, which creates trajectories of movement of characteristic points of the foot taking into account the gait parameters and anthropometry of the patient. When processing the data, a 5th-order Fourier series is used, which allows approximating the obtained experimental trajectories with a given accuracy and ensuring their smoothness.

Results. The work established that the mathematical model of a two-link foot allows analyzing and predicting the movement of the robot's foot in various rehabilitation modes. The model takes into account control and disturbance effects, as well as parameters such as mass, moment of inertia, step length, leg lift height, and other characteristics. The results of mathematical modeling allow synthesizing the robot's drive system - a set of mechanisms that transmit movement from the engine to the foot links. This will help ensure reliable and efficient operation of the device. In addition, the modeling results will be used to design the main structural elements of the robot, such as hinges, fasteners, shock absorbers, etc.

Abstract

Purpose of research. Cardiometry, which has been developing for more than thirty years, has achieved certain results that make it possible to expand the diagnostic capabilities of the ECG. However, the criteria for cardio-metric diagnoses have not yet been included in the regulatory indicators approved by the Ministry of Health. Taking into account the possibilities of cardiometry and the pace of its development, this article provides a comparison of the forecasts obtained by classical and cardiometric methods from the standpoint of interchangeability.

The purpose of research is to compare the cardiological diagnoses made on the basis of ECG obtained by classical and cardiometric methods, using the position of interchangeability.

Methods. In this paper, the principle of superposition is applied, which consists in using one function to process the results of another. The existing classical result is described using a cardiometric function. As a result, in practice there is a logical possibility of moving to a more accurate diagnosis. At the same time, the basis of the classical diagnosis is not destroyed.

Results. A comparative analysis of classical cardiological and cardiometric ECG assessment methods is presented. A total of 11 diagnoses were considered. Specific conclusions and recommendations are made for each comparison. Cardiometry allows a qualitative assessment of: a) The U-wave on the ECG occurs during the early diastole phase. It is associated with the filling of the coronary bloodstream, but the quality of its filling can only be diagnosed using a synchronously recorded rheogram from point T, the end of wave T to the beginning of wave U; b) hyper- and hypocalcemia are evaluated in the S – L phase by the amplitude of the phase; c) hyper- and hypokalemia are evaluated in the L-phase. j by phase amplitude.

Conclusion. This work shows the possibilities of expanding the classical cardiological diagnosis based on an ECG.

Methods of multicriterial analysis, parametric and structural synthesis were used. The features of direction finding of radio beacons from unmanned aerial vehicles designed to track emergency situations were studied. An analysis of the critical assessment of the maximum range of direction finding of radio beacons from an unmanned aerial vehicle was performed.

Results. Analytical formulas are given for calculating the maximum range of radio beacon direction finding from an unmanned aerial vehicle. The maximum range of radio beacon direction finding is calculated when using 2.4 and 5.8 GHz external antennas on unmanned aerial vehicles used in the Russian Emergencies Ministry and equipped with a digital direction finding system.

Conclusion. The use of direction finding systems on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provides wide opportunities for application in various fields.

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to systematize the properties of data centers and to find ways to increase the productivity of a network of centers based on collective access, combining the steps of storing and processing information and its replication.

Methods. The research methods are based on the theory of organization of complex information and analytical systems and artificial intelligence systems. The application of the principles of distributed-territorial organization of centers, deferred data collection, data processing based on computational and analytical models and knowledge representation models allows you to create data center architectures reconfigurable for basic computing processes. To describe the architecture of the upper level, standard and modified information and control cycles of information processing were created and analyzed. Based on graph theory methods, the complexity of the considered cycles is estimated. At the same time, both standard quantitative and structural indicators were used, which made it possible to obtain recommendations on the organization of data centers.

Results. The modified information and control cycle of network information processing is characterized by increased connectivity of vertices and internal processing cycles. A comparison of the calculated average output indicators for standard and modified cycles showed the expediency of combining steps in cycles that simulate certain human cognitive capabilities when processing a large amount of unstructured data (decomposition, aggregation, analysis, generalization). The constructed modified cycle has higher average and relative complexity indicators.

Conclusion. The combination of information storage and processing steps in the information management cycle and the identification of new patterns makes it possible to interpret modern data centers as intelligent network storagesearch engines. The created modified information and control cycle allows iteratively performing the steps of systematization, generalization, and data analysis to obtain new pieces of information. This feature provides an increase in the overall productivity of the Data Center and a reduction in the cost of ownership of information resources.

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to develop a method for assessing the level of adaptive potential of the central nervous system, which allows improving the quality of decisions made in the tasks of forecasting and diagnosing diseases characteristic of engineering and technical personnel.

Methods. It is shown that the adaptive potential is a fuzzy variable described in the framework of the classical theory of fuzzy logic. Within the framework of this methodology, for the synthesis of decisive rules for assessing the level of adaptive potential of the central nervous system, normalizing functions of the level of adaptation are introduced for indicators selected from a set of test methods describing the state of the system under study, which are aggregated into the desired hybrid fuzzy model. Considering that engineering work is often accompanied by a high level of psychoemotional stress and mental fatigue, a device for monitoring the functions of attention and memory was chosen to assess the state of the central nervous system, which allows forming the volume of initial data necessary to solve the tasks.

Results. In the course of the conducted research, to synthesize the decisive rules for assessing the level of adaptive potential of the central nervous system, taking into account the specifics of the work of engineering and technical workers, a set of informative signs was formed consisting of the level of personal and situational anxiety, concentration of attention and an indicator characterizing the state of RAM blocks, calculated by the method of determining the missing digit. For this set of indicators, the corresponding normalizing functions of the level of adaptation were obtained, the aggregation of which gives the desired fuzzy mathematical model for assessing the level of adaptive potential of the central nervous system.

Conclusion. In the course of the conducted research, a method for assessing the level of adaptive potential of the central nervous system was developed and a corresponding fuzzy model for assessing the level of this potential was obtained, focusing on the peculiarities of the work of engineering and technical workers. During the expert assessment and mathematical modeling, it was shown that the confidence in the correct assessment of the level of adaptive potential of the central nervous system exceeds 0.9.
